SteveZ98 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Here's an interesting article about the May 17, 1969 show in Athens, Ohio. Sounds like Zep crushed it when they opened for Jose Feliciano. It includes pictures from the show and backstage. http://projects.thepostathens.com/SpecialProjects/basketball-edition-2019/the-song-remains-the-same-led-zeppelin-jose-feliciano.html?fbclid=IwAR3QPCcpM07G1gDhhaNeJyfuu7heU6vcI4O52eoLGBRB49CVzJYOR_5YPAE Quote

mysticman560 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Very cool. Thanks for positing the article. It's nice to see pictures and a good article about Zeppelin's second American tour (which isn't very well documented). Quote
zeppcollect Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Great pics, what a cool story ...thanks for sharing! Quote
rm2551 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Outstanding story. Sharing a joint with Zeppelin at the start of it all. So cool..... Quote
Bong-Man Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 Great article, but it's a shame the billing wasn't reversed. I bet Jimmy was quite aware of Jose's talents on acoustic guitar. His cover of "Light My Fire" was a HUGE crossover hit. Some good Beatles covers also. I was only 8 years old, but I remember the outrage over him playing the "Star Spangled Banner" in Detroit for the 1968 World Series. It was the first time someone did their own version of the song, and people were pissed off. It was Ernie Harwell's idea, and he was almost fired over the incident. Really quite silly now, but it shows you where the mainstream was in those days. Quote
