BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Happy 40th anniversary to Led Zeppelin on the date of their first US concert date. Does anyone have the set list? Were any of the Forum members there? Are there any photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Since no recordings have surfaced, the complete setlist remains unconfirmed. There are comments from attendees in the timeline. I've never seen any photos from this gig. Thanks Steve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I think it's pretty significant. Thanks for reminding me I've got friends who were at the Vancouver show 2 day's later and those guy's are the ones that turned me on to the band. BTW, for those who can remember back that far, it was also the week that Apollo 8 sent back those first memorable pictures of our beautifull planet.

Exactly. 1968 was both an incredible and tragic year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget the 2 Stanley Cup wins... Whenever Plant or Page has made it to town, they always make a comment about Denver being their first US gig.
