Strider Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Excellent find, ccrider!!! Although the article is filled with inaccuracies (Iowa was NOT the second date of the tour) and puzzling comments (the writer's observation that the band members had more of a future as individuals than as a band), it is always instructive and fascinating to read contemporary accounts of the early days of Led Zeppelin...before revisionism set in. Note, for instance, the use of the term "acid rock" in regards to Led Zeppelin. That's what I always tell people...back then, bands like Zeppelin would be described as "heavy blues rock" or "acid rock" or "hard rock". The Heavy Metal tag came later. At least they spelled Led Zeppelin correctly...dig the stage backdrop in that photo! Edited December 20, 2013 by Strider Quote
Administrators sam_webmaster Posted December 20, 2013 Administrators Posted December 20, 2013 I've added some more rare ads/press from this show: http://www.ledzeppelin.com/show/january-15-1969 Quote
ccrider Posted December 28, 2013 Author Posted December 28, 2013 Didn't know if this had made the timeline, glad someone like it. Sam great follow up with the other info. One thing I was wondering though is has anyone tried to contact this guy about his personal recollections? Since he was "there" And my original post that I couldn't find went on to add.... they left Jonesy out... again on that review....as if THREE important members of the new band were there! Just saying.... Happy New Year everyone! Quote
