He was dreadfully thin. Someone please get him a sandwich!

He was off solids. Had a blender in his room. Said he was trying to photosynthesize like a plant. Lad needed to get out more often.

Not for the Zeppelin concert. Ralston-Purina did not purchase the St. Louis Blues hockey club and the St. Louis Arena until July 27, 1977. Only after was the arena

rechristened "The Checkerdome". I recall confirming this with the photographer

and at least one other attendee.

Sadly, St. Louis Arena, like so many "Houses of the Holy", is no more. Here are two relevent links for the history of the venue:
