I have a Japanese pressing of physical graffiti bought in 1977 my Dad was director of trade for port of Tacoma and traveled to Japan every year for a few months I asked him to buy me physical graffiti because of the true vinyl pressing the sound quality was much better and it came with the song lyrics.

15:38 I was at the show in Austin in September of 1974, where 80,000 were there to see Jimmy come out for the encore with Bad Company. Until that point, most everyone had been sitting down on the field. But when Jimmy was announced, everyone stood up. It was only then that I realized that the three guys in front of me were each over 6 feet tall. I had to stand on my toes to try and get a glimpse of Jimmy. The inner record sleeve of ZZ Top's Fandango! album had a daytime aerial view photo of Memorial stadium filled with people. As for people claiming fake LZ shows, there used to be a rumor going around that LZ performed in Austin in the 70's. But that never happened. I met Roy Harper at the same record store in Austin where I had purchased Physical Graffiti. Roy was signing copies of his latest release When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease (known as HQ in the UK).

You were at the Austin show? Wow man, that must have been quite THE moment having James Patrick shock 80,000 concert goers. Thanks for these bits and pieces of classic rock history, much appreciated! Stay tuned for Episode 4!

I met an aging hippie at a wedding reception in the '80s. We chatted about music, and he mentioned he'd seen Zeppelin in concert. This blew my Zeppelin-fan-obsessed mind, and I asked him what he remembered. He laughed and shook his head and said, "Oh Man, did we get high. We were absolutely out of our minds, man. Just blitzed." I rattled off more questions. Was it in '75? '77? Earlier? How were Plant's vocals, could he hit the high notes? Did "Dazed and Confused" go on for an hour? Were there green lasers? Did they crank out a medley of '50s tunes during "Whole Lotta Love"? To every question the hippie had the same answer. "Oh, man, did we ever get high. We were absolutely out of our minds, man." I realized the guy didn't remember anything about the music or the performance. I believed he really did see Zeppelin, but the dude was just too high.

[@scifiwriter98]

As crazy as this sounds, I can definitely relate to the guys story. In 1973, I went to see Genesis in Detroit for their Selling England By the Pound tour. Peter Gabriel at that time was in full storytelling and costume mode. And Suppers Ready had by then become the bands' Tour de force epic of their live shows. Unfortunately, the only thing I remember from that night was looking for and finding our seats. Everything else is a total blank. I don't know what I took before the show, but I've deeply regretted it ever since.

[@VideosVarious2]

I could buy that. We've all heard the saying from Woodstock-attendees, "If you can remember Woodstock, then you weren't there!" I wondered about the truthfulness of those statements, until the Summer of 1995, when my brother & myself and our girlfriends saw VAN HALEN on the "Balance"-Tour, in Bonner Springs, KS. Now, I'd been to concerts before that, but because I was out of the Navy by that time (2 years prior), I had no quams about taking a toke or five off the "jointers" (as Ozzy called them at his shows in the 1980s) that were being passed around for free. I was so blitzed that I barely remember Mike Anthony's bass guitar solo, Sammy Hagar's accoustic blues-influenced showpiece, Alex Van Halen's drum solo (only because he was wearing a neckbrace for the entire show), and Eddie's 12 or 15 minute guitar solo. Don't remember much of what they played, but know they did play for about 2 hours. They were stoked over the size of the crowd, as the venue is an outdoor venue (of which 5 years later would see Iron Maiden play at the same venue, Sandstone Ampitheater/Bonner Springs, KS), and there were at least 70,000 of U.S. there, Sammy said 90,000 over the microphone at one point. And now that I think of it, when Sammy said he was "Having a drink with 90,000 of his closest friends" over the mic, I 'did' look over my left shoulder, and up the hill, to see a SEA of 'VAN HALEN-ites' stretching to the horizon, as the summer sun was waning into sunset! So Sammy probably had the number of attendees correct. Hell, he was in a better position to know than I was anyway! They probably get a ticket-sales count before they go on, and they were selling tickets at the gate also, @ $40.00 a pop! A band I'd never heard of opened for them, 'Our Lady Peace.' And I never heard of them after that, either. Point being, the old 'Zep-Head' you were picking the brain of was most likely telling the truth.

My radar always goes up when someone says they saw zep in `74 or `76. One of those years we all know they did not tour. Saw your live stream last night. Your playing is really good. I like the Beck influence in there too. Next to Jimmy and gang, Jeff is also a super-hero of mine. The notes I posted on live stream was the intro notes to Hots on to Nowhere. Its a weird grouping of notes they just sound cool. Of course, kind of awkard to play too till you get the hang of it. one `note` I wrote is two notes, double stop. F on D string 3rd fret with the A on the G string at 2nd fret. I sort of stumbled on that riff jamming.

[@jetcat132]

I’m 67 and was lucky enough to have seen the band eight times in Chicago from ‘73-‘77…. I can tell you the exact dates of the shows, and the nights the shows fell on…. We got some great second row main floor photos of the Easter Sunday Page Stormtrooper show. In ‘75 we got to see them do stuff off of Physical Graffiti over a month before it was released here in the states, it was just an awesome time to be alive. I can remember some specific moments clearly, but a lot of those shows are hazy, dim memories. I’m sure being in an altered state for every one of them was part of that, but it’s been over 50 years since the first show in ‘73, so I can understand how some people can’t remember what others would have killed to have been there for. What we did to get into and see all those shows was to grab up as many tickets as possible, then we would sell, buy, or trade up to the best seats out of the bunch. In ‘73, one of the guys went down to Ticketron at Sears with a couple of big boys as security and bought 40 tickets, but that was back in the days of no limits. Great times man, back when giants walked the earth!

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

40 Tickets at Ticketron, wow, that's quite a business move right there. I am honored to have you in the channel. To know you witnessed this magic first hand means a lot. Thank you very much for watching! Stay tuned for series finale Episode 4!

[@jetcat132]

I’m glad I found your channel. I’ll be subbing for sure. I consider myself luckier than smart lol, because it was a much different time and we had the freedom to do stuff like that. The friend I had who made that Ticketron run didn’t make a dime on the tickets, he basically had money from everyone we hung out with, and grabbed the tickets. He bought both nights, July 6th and July 7th of ‘73. I didn’t see the Friday night show, my ticket was for the Saturday night show. It was roughly two weeks before the TSRTS filming in New York at MSG, and at the tail end of the tour. Plant struggled a bit with his vocals, because by that time at the end of the tour he had some serious issues, but the band was spectacular, and they had incredible charisma, an aura, and the energy in the old Chicago Stadium was electric all night. The crowd had lowered the fire escapes and people were pouring up them by the hundreds and into the building. People were sitting on the stairs and in the aisles, and they were breaking the lights located under the balconies to make it darker in the building. You couldn’t even walk in there, I’m sure it was way beyond building capacity, the Chicago Fire Department would have had fits. The air was like a fog of pot, cigarettes, and fireworks smoke. Since it was so close to the Fourth of July, the place was full of fireworks all night, and several times Plant pleaded with the crowd to stop, and there were some pretty good fights on the main floor. I remember the chaos well, I was sixteen and had never seen so much energy in one place lol…. That was when some of us decided that we’d never miss another Zeppelin show when they were in town again. They did three nights in January of ‘75, and four nights in April of ‘77. Again, it was a different world, just great times.

@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories i think what makes your videos so special and downright necessary is that within the history of any band, theres always going to be a place in which your own love for them can influence how you share their history, good or bad. when i watch your vids, you are kind of bringing us into that place within your mind that this most amazing of amazing bands resides, maybe resides within us all, because who exists can say they havent been touched by zep even if they only heard em once. its the kind of thing you hear once and it changes you. to say otherwise indicates a lack of soul, ahaha. your vids have the quality of sharing your perspective of how they inspired you growing up, theres something to be said about passing that positivity on beyond the history and sharing about your life and how it was a little bit of a struggle to find the zep catalog. all the time and effort you put into it, know that those of us who might be struggling, youre bringing such positivity to our lives as well sharing their story in the way you do that words dont do justice.

He sounded good on the songs on the album, but on tour we can hear it more, listen for example the Rain Song in 1973 compare to the 1975 versions in the middle part. But there is even more change in his vocal after 1977. On In through the outdoor and also at the Knebworth concert in 1979 his voice has changed again. Do you know if something happened, what caused this change?

[@crungefactory]

If I recall correctly, he simply rested his voice for two years and found a new method of singing. He probably had some secret training as well...

[@RainsonZeppelin]

@@crungefactory But his voice was getting worse not better in the high level.

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

This topic deserves it's own video, Robert's vocals in 1975 are below average. He was back in 1977 and by 1980, he knew how to use his instrument very well. His solo career has been a masterful touch!

[@RainsonZeppelin]

​​​​​@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Thanks for your answer! That would be great a special around the changes of his voice! Yes in 1977 he was good again, his singing on Presence was great too. But on ITTOD I think it is much less than before on the rocksongs. On All my love he was great. The knebworth concert his voice was also not a good as it was. I saw LZ in 1980 live, that wasn t good either. Yes in his solo career much sounded good because he adjust what he can sing. On the page plant tour his voice was again not als good as it was. But it was a great tour, I saw them in 1995. I prefer his voice in 1973 on TSRTS, for me he was at his best, although not all the tour, I ve got a lot of bootlegs of that tour! Great we have TSRTS!

JCM, As far as 74’ double albums you forgot Genesis Great The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The first I read of Plants vocal surgery was when Stephen Davis mentioned it early in his excellent 2010 book on Zep’s 75’ tour. When I read that the unevenness of his vocals on PG made sense. His vocals on his first solo album are by far his BEST post surgery in my humble opinion.

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

Hey Michael thanks for watching! So i didn't include The Lamb yet as the next episode begins in November 1974 the same month Genesis released this, so trust me it will be there.

[@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973]

@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories yes that's a good way to describe that track. They were obviously fearless and liked it loud and that's something I appreciate. I first heard of them a couple years ago while watching performances on Beat Club , a German TV show kinda like Don Kirshner's Flower Hour or Top of the Pops . I listened to a couple of their albums from the early 70s afterwards and I liked what I heard. Just one of dozens of cool old bands that I have found from digging through KZbin videos from decades ago. I spend a lot of time just looking for anything I have not yet heard from what I consider the best era for rock and roll , 1960 -1979. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories I agree. Being a guitarist like myself I would recommend someone I've been learning and studying this past few months, Lonnie Mack. His early instrumental albums from 1962, 63, 64 are outstanding and fun to learn. Chicken Pickin' , Wham , Sa Ba Hoola , Memphis , On the Move etc are some of the best examples of early electric guitar soloing. Think of the Ventures but with more of a country blues feel and more dynamics. I think you'll enjoy those if you are not already familiar with his playing

You have a great channel. I try to recreate some Pages live sounds. I am bit confused over the echoplex. Did he always had it on, on the slapback setting or when he was soloing? I red somewhere that when came to the solo he was activating the second amp to a more gainy setting, like a boost? I can see that he is manipulating the guitar knobs all the time. My les paul doesn't respond to all that, of course my les paul is not an original or a posh Gibson one. Maybe you should do a tutorial on guitar playing, on the sounds. I saw some videos of Jimmy Sakurai but I don't understand Japanese, but I digged some Marshall settings from a photo of his Facebook that seem to work. Everybody I watched on KZbin give a different amp settings, of course I speak about live sounds only, let's say Tsrts live sound. Thank you!

Hey there Paul, thanks for your kind words. As for Jimmy's sound it's certainly a matter for feel first but his gear i know is the stuff of wonders.

Me encantó la anécdota del fan impostor de Zep XD Yo tenía varios amigos igual que tú con un conocimiento enciclopédico del rock que les encantaba quemar a los posers que decían ser rockeros pero que en realidad ni sabían nada de rock y ni siquiera les gustaba la música. Yo recuerdo que escuché por primera vez completo el Physical Graffiti cuando entablé una conversación con un compañero de la universidad que era pintor también y que le gustó una polera de Yes que yo estaba usando y luego de intercambiar ideas sobre la música que nos gustaba, yo le grabé un cassette con el primer disco de King Crimson y el me grabó el Physical Graffiti, aunque yo tuve que comprar un cassette de 90m minutos para que pueda entrar todo el disco. El PG para mí es un disco como el Exile on Main St o el The Wall que no puedes escuchar canciones sueltas sino que tienes que escucharlo entero de una sentada, porque son obras redondas y completas, llenas de diferentes atmósferas y paisajes y climas, como un viaje largo lleno de diferentes lugares que conocer y diferentes aventuras, me encantan los temas de onda rockera como The Rover, Custard Pie, Wanton Song y Sick Again... Despúes siempre me alucinó la onda acústica medio folk blues de Bron Yr Aur, Black Country Woman y esa bestialidad de tema de In My Time of Dying y claro también está la onda medio prog rock, piscodélica de In The Light, Kashmir y Ten Years Gone... Y para terminar siempre me parecieron temas más bien inclasificables y que viven en su propio mundo canciones como Houses of the Holy, Night Flight y Down by the Seaside. De hecho estas canciones me comenzaron a gustar recién nomás, pero esto también demuestra la grandeza y lo vasto que es este disco en el que siempre vas a encontrar cosas nuevas cada vez que lo escuches sin importar la cantidad de años que has pasado escuchándolo tantas veces. Saludos y un abrazo José !! Gracias !!

Admiro que te logre gustar Night Flight haha. Que buena historia Ramiro, identificado 100%. La magia de la transferencia musical en cassette. Esos eran otros tiempos, definitivo. El primer album de Crimson es mi favorito, tanto así que no pude comprar otro fuera del segundo, In The Wake of Poseidon, los demás si bien son GENIALES, considero funcionan mucho mejor en vivo. Es cierto que PG es como Exile o The Wall, claro que a diferencia de, no tienen outtakes. PG ha sido una confrontación para mi en este proceso investigativo, pero confirmo su grandeza claro.

I'm not convinced The Stones were paying homage to Zeppelin by using that building stoop. Richards actively dislikes Zeppelin. Not the people, but the band. It's a point that has always surprised me as they all swim in the same DNA pool. Maybe it was the competition they brought.

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

[@j.v.f.8736]

Keith Richards, like the media press in general, thought LZ was a crass teen oriented lab product. "I always felt there was something a little hollow about it", he said. Now, follow the money. By 1971, the LZ entourage saw themselves both as an unstoppable success and as the biggest band in the world. But they were in the same record company who claimed that the RS were the “Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World”. Few people outside the record business knew that LZ was outselling the RS by 3 to 1. In 1972, both bands toured US at the same time. The LZ tour resulted both a great artistic and financial success, and a big failure, as they were totally ignored by the media and the celebrities. The Stones tour was advertised by their Los Angeles PR firm as the youth cultural event of the year. Still, LZ actually outdrawed them in some cities, but no one seemed to get noticed at all, thus no one would ever know... So they hired B. P. Fallon as a press agent as a first mitigation. Later on, came Danny Goldberg, a 22yo publicist who ironically had written reviews for Rolling Stone, one of LZ biggest critics. Solters, from Solters, Roskin and Sabinson, one of the best and expensive PR companies in US, had told LZ: “Your music is taking a backseat to a lot of negative publicity about your offstage life, and that offstage image will require some rehabilitation (...) You’ve shied away from most interviews for so long, all the press has to go on are the rumors about your maniacal behavior. We’ve got to (...) change that outlaw image. We also have to let the population at large know that you’re accomplished musicians, not savages.”
