Strider Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Yikes. Never would have thought Ric Ocasek was 75. The Cars didn't hit the national stage until 1978 so they seemed younger than bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and the Stones. Rest in peace, Ric. https://pitchfork.com/news/the-cars-ric-ocasek-dead-at-75/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Money, the prolific singer and songwriter whose songs “Baby Hold On,” “Two Tickets to Paradise,” “Shakin'” and “Take Me Home Tonight” soundtracked popular music in the 1980s, died Friday (Sept. 13). He was 70. Rock icon Eddie Money enjoyed an illustrious career in music, spanning over 45 years of production and performances, before his untimely passing on September 13 at the age of 70. But more than his own achievements, Money was also your average fan, who idolized and fawned over his favorite artists to his heart’s content. One such example is his recollection of Led Zeppelin’s first show. Money was present on January 9, 1969 show at the Carousel Ballroom (aka Fillmore West), during the band’s first public performance. He recalls, “There couldn’t have been more than 400 people in there. They did everything the way the record was gonna be; the record didn’t come out till three weeks after they did that show. I thought, ‘These guys are amazing.’” Money said in an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock in 2012. He also recalls being in the Lansky Bros. clothing store in Memphis, known for being one of Elvis Presley’s favorite places to shop on. “I ran into those guys in a place called Lansky’s… I was buying a big colored shirt that I never wore, and they were buying colored shirts that they were never gonna wear. I told them about the first show that I saw them at and they went, ‘You know, that’s actually when we broke the States.’” Money goes on, saying he enjoyed the company of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, who later invited him to their Memphis show that night, saying they treated him “just like I was one of the boys.” Money was also present on the band’s July 23, 1978 show at the Green Festival in Oakland, California, which turned out to be Led Zeppelin’s last American stint, covering an audience attendance of over 30,000 people. “Somebody actually beat up one of [promoter] Bill Graham’s people; I don’t know what happened. So I saw the first Led Zeppelin show and the last Led Zeppelin show. I mean, that’s really something,” Money concluded. https://iloveclassicrock.com/eddie-money-was-lucky-to-watch-the-first-and-last-led-zeppelin-show/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone at Ultimate Classic Rock fact check? 1978? I clicked to the linked article and it really says 1978. Also to say audience was "over 30,000" is interesting. The video of that day shows very few empty seats and the entire field is full of people. In 1977 the seating capacity was around 54,000. So if by "over 30,000" they mean about 50,000 I guess that is right. For the attendance to be around 30,000 the field would have to be empty and the seats would have to be less than 60% full.
