On 1-23-69, Led Zeppelin encountered a packed house as they took the stage. The evidence on the tape shows that Zep roared aboard and destroyed the audience with a five-song first set that lasted 46 minutes total. And this is where the story starts to become legend - according to eyewitnesses and the memories of the band, the boys took the stage that night and played three more sets, one more planned, and two more because Vanilla Fudge just didn't see any advantage in going on after Led Zeppelin had worn the crowd out. Legends of headbanging, playing ragged, unrehearsed Beatles numbers, almost everything have gone on throughout the years.
This tape is what we know. The first set - the five songs that supposedly started a night nobody truly remembers but wishes they did. I have reason to believe that the rest of the show is on high-quality tape, but I also have reason to believe that it doesn't exist, also. My gift to you this December 10th is the show that was. Please enjoy.
