Ed, the first rock record I ever purchased was Led Zeppelin III when I was around 7 years old. I literally wore out the grooves on “Since I’ve Been Loving You” and “Friends” because I played them so much. And I still have that original album with the worn out grooves in my basement and its replacement. Yet, while I’ve turned my wife and kids on to…Read More

  I saw them at The Rose Palace in Pasadena, CA May 2nd, 1969 with:
  Julie Driscoll – Brian Auger and the Trinity
  The Elvin Bishop Blues Band
  The Chambers Brothers
  The four band did a full set, took an intermission and all four came back for another (different) set.
  The stage had no curtains and no back stage area. The were no chairs, it was…Read More

    Great story. Their first album from back then was killer. Zeppelin still rules!
    Last night I watched “Becoming Led Zeppelin.” My wife stayed through the entire movie, but my kids didn’t. While I enjoyed it — and I’d pretty much watch anay official documntary on one of my favorite bands of all time — I thought it was just okay as a documentary.

      Also, as we learned from the doc and I witnessed firsthand, in the second set they played Moby D!ck, Heartbreaker and Whole Lotta Love. The world did not know of those songs yet, but they moved me then and of course in due time I immediately recognized them when LZ II came out.

        Zeppelin would have been great to see at any point, but the excitement of seeing them back then had to be incredible. I’ve seen a few bands before they became big, but the biggest one that I saw that blew me away with a new sound was Rage Against the Machine. They weren’t even booked at the club I saw them at, it was a surprise show (it was a cool…Read More

        I saw them shortly after LZ III at the L.A. Forum too. We were three rows back from the floor at the middle on the side.

My sister gave me Led Zeppelin II for Christmas, it had just been released a couple of months before. So far I had only bought 2 albums – The Who Live at Leeds and The Band’s brown album. First track, Whole Lotta Love, was like nothing I had ever heard.

  As a very young boy, Zeppelin and The Who were my favorite rock bands. The first rock record album I ever bought was Zeppelin III — and I still love it (and everything else from the band) to this day.
  I started piano lessons at age 3 1/2. By the next year, my siblings decided to form a band and voted that I would be the drummer. So at the end…Read More

  WOW (!) I remember well in 1969 when I was 12 years old listening to my Archies “Sugar Sugar” 45 rpm. My big sister came in to have her turn at the hifi and said “You have to listen to this”. I was expressing interest in learning to play. She put on Zeppelin 2 and Hendix’ “Are You Experienced”. I admit that Hendrix was above my head at the…Read More

    I was the only one of my siblings to love Zeppelin. My sisters turned me on to Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, ELO, and many other artists I came to love. They were my resource. But my sisters didn’t care much for Zeppelin. My mother used to refer to them as “acid rock” and “drug music.” However, when I was in my late teens, I finally had a…Read More
