  • 1973 Led Zeppelin - New York, NY at Madison Square Garden (day 2 of 3)
  • 1984 Jimmy Page with Roy Harper - Cherry Hinton Hall, Cambridge Folk Festival
1973:
Day two of the Madison Square Garden show. More firecrackers. The band was asked to wear the same outfits for the sake of the filming that was being done. Mr. Jones was the only one of the four who didn't comply.

1984:
We don't think of Jimmy Page as a folk guitarist, but of course he has demonstrated he can play any musical genre he wants to, and do it well.

The Cambridge Folk Festival's first show was in 1965.  Paul Simon and just about a dozen others were on the bill, and 1400 tickets were sold. Simon earned £15 for his performance. Since then the festival has expanded and now includes non-folk performers as well. In 2014 there were more than a hundred acts featured over four days, including Van Morrison, SinĂ©ad O’Connor and Rosanne Cash.
