radio is kind of wild really, the first thing we did after discovering an ethereal field that permeates the universe is infuse it with music.

On this day... - June 7th

On this day Led Zeppelin performed:

+ 1972 : Montreal Forum in Montreal, Quebec, Canada

“The members of Led Zeppelin are safely ensconced in their Waldorf-Astoria suite in New York this morning while the city of Montreal faces a severe power shortage as a result of the British group's gig here last night. Zep couldn't have left too much amperage in town after they put on one of the most electric shows Montreal will ever see. And the 12.000 people in the Forum got quite a charge out of it. […] They played for well over two hours — there were no preliminary groups. They are not only the original group of all the heavies, they are still the best. […] Zep has learned to put strategic breaks in between the explosions of sound, a trick that makes their music so much more dynamic than that of their imitators.” – ‘Led Zeppelin: top heavies electrify 12,000 at Forum’ by B. Mann (Gazette)

+ 1977 : Madison Square Garden in New York, New York, USA

“The cheers and fireworks were deafening as Led Zeppelin's sold-out six-concert engagement got off to an explosive start here. […] Zeppelin's main strength is still the skill of its individual musicians. […] Led Zeppelin is bent on becoming one of the world's longest-lived rock groups. However, they conspicuously avoided older material, in even leaving out the classic "Dazed And Confused." Sticking to the current albums will keep Zeppelin fresh with the younger crowd, even at the risk of losing the "grandparents," as Plant humorously referred to us.” – by P. Dumauro

“Some rock bands have fans, others have admirers and still others have followers. But Led Zeppelin is the last great rock band whose minions can be considered true believers. […] Led Zeppelin proved that it was worthy of the adoration bestowed upon it. […] The band has grown with the times. Rather than relying on its earlier style of rock-to-break-your-kneecaps-with once represented by songs like Whole Lotta Love, Led Zeppelin performed a nearly three-hour set notable for its variety, sophistication and depth. […] So while many in the audience enjoyed the show simply because being there conferred status on the high school ladder, Zeppelin pleased its older fans by playing with both complexity and poignance.” – by D. Marsh (Newsday)

“After too many years of lackluster concerts and spotty albums Led Zeppelin landed in Madison Square Garden last night for a concert that saw the band at its roaring, pounding best. The first of six New York performances, last night's show may very well stand as the finest concert the group has ever given in the city - at least until tonight.” – ‘Zeppelin late but great’ by R. Atkinson

“George was younger, the little one. He was very sweet, with his little tooth and the cocky songs he was singing. He was really cute, and was an essential part of the team. When all of them were harmonising together was incredible!”

— Klaus Voormann, “Hamburg Days” (1999)

“When he has that funny grin on his face, so that his little Dracula-tooth was showing — that was it! There he was, this little cocky underage boy singing cocky little songs like “C[‘mon] every body” or Joe Brown’s “I’m [Hen]ery the eight[h], I am” and then he played his little guitar solos, unmistakable George, nearly breaking his fingers on this cheap guitar, he hated so much. He couldn’t wait to earn enough money, to at long last be able to buy an expensive guitar. So when he got his first Grets[c]h, he proudly showed it to everybody. 1971 George let me have this Guitar. I loved it. Finally I had to give it back to him, which I think is perfectly right. He gave me a beautiful tel[e]caster as a replacement. Ain’t that great?”

— Klaus Voormann, “Hamburg Days” (1999)

“…George grinned his cheeky, crooked boyish grin beneath his thick brown head of hair. He was irresistible, and not just for the girls.”

— Klaus Voormann, on the first time he saw The Beatles; translated from “Warum spielst du Imagine nicht auf dem weißen Klavier, John?” (2003)

paul must be so terrible at playing poker. he'd have a good hand and everyone in the room would know instantly because he'd be biting his lip and scratching his hair and tilting his head and batting his eyes coquettishly. all at the same time.
