Boston Massachusetts - Boston Tea Party
This is it... The legendary four and a half-hour, the longest Zeppelin show ever.
Right from the start it's obvious that tonight is going to be something special. The band attack each song with a ferocity and aggression previously unheard. They play as thought their lives depend on it. Plant's vocals soar to new heights and Page fulfills every single opportunity to improvise, embellishing songs with new licks or runs where previously there were none, and soloing with precision speed and control.
‘Dazed and Confused' includes a passage from ‘Shapes Of Things', an old Yardbirds number and Jimmy even uses the violin bow for another Yardbirds song ‘For Your Love' during ‘How many More Times'. The crowd go wild and Zeppelin continue to play encore after encore!
John Paul Jones recalls the show:
“As far as I'm concerned, the key Led Zeppelin gig - the one that put everything into focus – was one that we played on our first American tour at The Boston Tea Party. We'd played our usual one-hour set, using all the material from our first album and Page's ‘White Summer' guitar piece and, by the end, the audience just wouldn't let us off the stage.
“It was in such a state that we had to start throwing ideas around – just thinking of songs that we all might know or some of us knew a part of, and work it from there. So we'' go back on and play things like ‘I Saw her Standing There' and ‘Please Please Me' – old Beatles favorites. I mean, just anything that would come into our head, and the response was quite amazing.
“There were kids actually banging their heads against the stage – I've never seen that at a gig before or since, and when we finally left the stage we'd played for four and a half hours. Peter (Peter Grant – Zep's manager) was absolutely ecstatic. He was crying and hugging us all. You know… with this huge grizzly bear hug. I suppose it was then that we realized just what Led Zeppelin was going to become.””
