ally Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Vancouver Aug.19/71. Somebody should've recorded that show I'd also like to go to Seattle June 18/72. The show to replace the cancelled Vancouver gig. Had tix but the boarder boy's wouldn't let me cross. From all accounts from others that did make it..... a killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bomber Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 This is one Hell of a fantasy topic!!! Well, 1971,Right after Led Zep IV,catapulted into the stratosphere,that would have been amazing to see them then '72,the gigs recorded at HTWWW,the live album shows it was amazing,and Eddie Van Halen was at one of them! Any gig that was on TSRTS. Houses Of The Holy tour '73,the one where they beat the Beatles for attendance,maybe Madison Square Garden Earls Court '75,must have been amazing,the 5th night was 3 hours 45 mins! US tour '77,Damn that would have been a good one! Knebworth '79,A Godlike triumph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammersmith Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD. 5/25/69. Led Zep opening for The Who! What a double header that must have been! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would change the bottle with castor oil... instead of being drunk and sleeping, awake and alert. Sounds like a joke, but it doesn't. Believe me, it works. If someone is drunk, change the drink to castor oil... will not drink in a few days if is brave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitmanblack Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 But I mean think of what Zeppelin would of done if Bonham was still alive...(although the band was deteriorating from what I could see, and I bet bonham would of killed himself some other way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaimerosario Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 He did not killed himself... he stroke with his own vomit. The one who could die during that period was Page, which had a few brain cells in his heroin system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bomber Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Agreed,the best thing to do would be to save Bonzo's life,that said,i would actually go back in time to '68,i'm sure they had a few close calls,say,Page overdoses,i save his life and become a lifelong friend and get a free pass to every gig i want to,i can check up with him in the studio and even jam with Zeppelin,on the night that Bonzo (R.I.P.) died,i carefully arrange to come over,and save his life,i see every show that you can think of and the band love me forever!

Hitmanblack Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 He did not killed himself... he stroke with his own vomit. The one who could die during that period was Page, which had a few brain cells in his heroin system. By "killing himself" im referring to the fact that if he wasnt such an alcoholic he wouldn't of died, therefore making his death his own doing. The whole band was on so much crap what could you really do, tell Led Zeppelin, the greatest band at the time, to stop? Page could of died but he didn't, and I don't think he would of. He tried very hard to get off it and he did (if you look at an interview he got very angry when the guy said that heroine was associated with him name) but I'm saying that Bonham was such a bad alcoholic (had 4 quadruple vodkas before he died!) he would of gotten himself killed some other way. And I'm pretty sure Peter Grant? started getting Page into heroine during studio sessions, so really I would attack him more than anyone. But If bonham was still alive I mean geehs, imagine even just 1 more album? (Wasnt INTOD alot of Bonham/Page?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc1973 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I originally thought I'd want to go to a show in Germany in March '73, because I think that was their apex from a pure performance standpoint. But the more I think about it, I think I'd want to go back to where I could have the best overall experience. I think the LA Forum in March '75 would be the place. The band was playing pretty well, and the setlist was good. But I'd go there more for the overall experience. Can you imagine (unless you were actually there, which some of you might have been) seeing Zeppelin in their prime, in their favorite place? Drinking a few beers in Hollywood at a bar on the Sunset Strip on a warm sunny day, then going over to the Forum to catch the kings of rock at that time? Imagine the scene in the parking lot...man, to be able to time-travel back to that moment, what a great time that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Kite Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 May I choose a Tour? I choose the 1975 US tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaphaelBurnside49 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Which Zeppelin concert would you want to go to? I'd give my left leg to go to the 4th night at Knebworth. For Sure Electric Magic Show November 20th, 1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy page66 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 For Sure Electric Magic Show November 20th, 1971. I would be at earls court 24th and 25th and knebworth 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainsbarre Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 i read that they where told to come but they had another tour going on and that they regreted it after! But I thought I read that Peter Grant said no to them performing at Woodstock because he wasn't interested in Led Zep being just one of the bands on the bill, I thought either they wanted more money or he wanted Led Zep to close one of the nights.

zeppelincheetah Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 damn I don't know a specific date... maybe the concert on the 2003 DVD where they play "The Ocean", they really look on top of their game. but, then again, I'd like to see them at Knebworth because they use later material. I guess Knebworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 But I thought I read that Peter Grant said no to them performing at Woodstock because he wasn't interested in Led Zep being just one of the bands on the bill, I thought either they wanted more money or he wanted Led Zep to close one of the nights. Absolutely correct...although they did play other festivals that year, so I'm not sure I follow Peter's logic. Maybe he knew that Woodstock would just be so big, they wouldn't stand out? Remember, at the time they were just getting into their stride while some of the other notable names on the bill (The Who, Hendrix etc.) were already well-established.

lzfan715 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I was surprised Janice joplin was at Woodstock.I couldn't believe my eyes.I saw her then I was in shock. It's spelled Janis, and why wouldn't she be at Woodstock? But what does that have to do with this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgeholder Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, May 4th/5th, 1969. No boots exist of these shows. These had to have been a pretty big deal, two nights headlining, pretty big place. I bet they were fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonOfDarkness Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'm going to buck the trend here a little. I do that from time to time so bear with me. I would do this as a time traveler. Go back in time and make my way to England around late 1968. Having had the knowledge of Led Zeppelin from my future I would see the potential they were going to create and the monster they were going to become. I'd catch a few early gigs then casually introduce myself to the group, get to know them and ask if I could work for them in some way. Not as a manager by any means. Peter did just fine. Maybe soundboard technician during their shows or a studio technician. Or even work as a roadie. But I'd stick by their side through thick and thin. Never saying a word that I already knew their history or, if you will, their future. I'd have jam sessions with Jimmy and John Paul as I play the guitar and bass. How many times I've dreamed of doing this... only to have Bonzo walk into the room, pick up his sticks and give us that crushing back beat. I'd make sure that Jimmy was okay during his bouts with heroin addiction. Always making sure he knew where help was if he needed it but never telling him to get clean. I already know he will do it on his own. I'd ask him to take me on a holiday to Bron-Yr-Aur. Just so I could see what it was like and what kind of inspirations he drew from that beautiful place. I'd take journeys with Robert to those mythical places in the West Midlands and Wales where he sang of so often. Wander the countryside, smoke the Acapulco, trade stories and just listen to him. Robert has always seemed like the type that could just talk and appreciate everything that I appreciate. Mystical journeys, Mother Earth, fine herbs *wink*, fine women and a love of life. I would be there for him in his times of need. His car accident, the death of Karac and soon the death of Bonzo. I would pay particularly close attention to Bonzo. Already knowing his fate I would make sure he knew that I loved him like a brother so that he could take it with him to his death bed. And then I'd weep for him privately knowing that I could not stop him from slowly committing alcoholic suicide. No, I would not alter the course of history by trying to save him. I'd try to be as far away as possible. Perhaps on a bittersweet holiday in Montreux. Drowning my sorrows in a pub and praying for the safe keeping of his soul. That's what I'd do. No single show can capture my love for Led Zeppelin. I wouldn't even call it love. It's a romance. A passion. Sure I have a few favorites. In fact I'm listening to the vinyl of June 23, 1977 as I type this. If I had to pick one single favorite of all the shows I've heard or wished that I could have been at I would have to honestly answer.... All of them.
