Adge Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I'm new here. Looking to see if anyone here was at the show in question. I was, and it was my 1st concert ever (age 16). I'm thinking there must be some chatter about it & I just am not good at searching here! Thanks in advance & looking forward to meeting y'all.

I was not at the Tamps gig or any Zeppelin shows, unfortunately I was too young. Here is a great doc on the Tampa 77 gig by JCM who puts together some of  the best Zeppelin Documentaries of the band.  Check it out: Here is a bootleg recording of the Tampa show:  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zep Hed Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I was walking round my neighborhood one day wearing a t shirt with a replica Tampa 73 poster on the front. A woman stops me and says "oh which show, which show?" I said 73 and she told me she was at the 77 show. Had a cool conversation about her experience and how nuts it was. She was passed over people's heads to get out safely. What a night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adge Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 Hi ohjimmy! thanks a lot for these. I had seen some text articles on this but not videos! It was on a forum years ago but I remember it looking different than here/this forum. Also have an audio file of the 2 1/2 songs somewhere.

So angry & disappointed. I do have a pic or 2 of me wearing it back then. Very blurry but I'm on the right .Some personal trivia: The guy in the middle is an 18-year old Jon Oliva from Savatage. Was good friends with him & Criss back then & still in touch with Jon every now & then. And yes the show was actually very frightening in the crowd. a tall guy put me on his shoulders. We managed to get off the field & somehow wound up in a vip or press box (very luckily). Finally got out & to the parking lot, where we realized he didn't close the roof vent & had a long soaking wet ride home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
