On this day 19 September

 Jimmy Page, from sea to shining sea

1998 19 September On This Day Page & Plant at Hollywood Bowl
  • 1970 Led Zeppelin - New York, NY at Madison Square Garden- 2 Shows
  • 1998 Page & Plant - Hollywood, CA at Hollywood Bowl
1970:
A little over one year from their first concert, Led Zeppelin not only was the only act on the bill, the band was booked for two shows in a row at Madison Square Garden.  At both shows Robert Plant spoke about the death of Jimi Hendrix on the previous day.

Today many consider the MSG performance to be one of the band's very best. Yet a reviewer back then said, "I found the group flashy but dull, somewhat contrived and certainly  not high energy excitement." Do reviewers ever acknowledge how far off they were in their assessment?

1998:
Most High is from the studio album Walking into Clarksdale, released through Atlantic Records in 1998. By May 1998 it reached #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. In 1999, the song won a Grammy for Page and Plant for Best Hard Rock Performance. 
Most High was released as a single. To me the real winner is the song on the B side, The Window.
