What ever happened with the ripoff of Zeppelin during the 73 show in New York that was in The song remains the same movie?

That;s a good question.ever seeing the Song Remains the Same i always wondered if it was recovered or how much money was stolen.

Back then the mob had to be in on it, or at least get a cut afterwards. you know how they did it back then.

I agree. Anyone remotely familar with organized crime in NYC knows this has all the characteristics of an inside job. You can almost imagine a hotel porter or desk clerk calling Joe Pesci with a tip-off in exchange for a cut of the action. Richard Cole was investigated but cleared of any involvement.

Of course there is the possibility of a complete publicity stunt

Peter Grant never pulled publicity stunts and they were already the #1 band in the world. He was very angry as the following day was a leaving day. Not to mention all the subsequent hassles involved with the police investigation.

....and of course the mayor of Atlanta really did say " The Biggest Thing To Hit This City Since Gone With The Wind"

Have you seen the extras on the new TSRTS DVD?

A journalist (New York Post?) suggests to Peter Grant that this is indeed just a publicity stunt.

...suffice to say Grant puts him in his place, and makes him look foolish...

SteveA, you are on a roll today. Every post I have come across of yours has cracked me up.

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

Back in those days it was not all that unusual. Besides, alot of the transactions they made needed to be off the books ;) ya know

The theft occured at the end of the North American tour. Banking in 1973 was not as

sophisticated as it is now. Additionally, as soon as you start investing or depositing

you open yourself up to the tax man.
