Re: Led Zeppelin ~ November 2009
Great thread, Magic!
Once again, I'm impressed. This whole Forum impresses me.
I never saw
Led Zeppelin in concert, but I did see
Robert Plant in concert on his first solo album (Pictures at Eleven) and tour, back in '82 at the Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York. A cool show but the big surprise came at the end -
Jimmy Page came out for the encore and played ''Stairway To Heaven'' and the place went absolutely crazy!!! I believe it was the first time ''Stairway To Heaven'' since the Led Zeppelin days. The next day the radio was a buzz with Led Zeppelin reunion rumors.
I also, seen Jimmy Page with The Firm back in the 80's and the ARMS Concerts* at Madison Square Garden that featured
Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page in 1983.
*The ARMS Charity Concerts were a series of charitable rock concerts in support of Action into Research for Multiple Sclerosis in 1983. The idea for hosting the concert was envisaged by Ronnie Lane, ex-bassist for The Small Faces and The Faces, himself a casualty of multiple sclerosis - Wikipedia.
