On This Day 04 August

Safe sex, huh?  Nowadays I guess that would mean wearing a mask.

1986 04 August On This Day Jimmy Page - San Antonio,Ibiza at Heartbreak Hotel
  • 1969 Led Zeppelin - Dallas, TX at Texas State Fair Arena
  • 1979 Led Zeppelin - Knebworth House 
  • 1986 Jimmy Page - San Antonio,Ibiza at Heartbreak Hotel 
1975:
Robert Plant was seriously injured in a car accident while on vacation in Greece on this day and all concerts for the rest of the year were cancelled.
..my kind of vision, or the carefree element I had, disappeared instantly when I had my automobile accident in 1975. That kind of ramshackled "I'll take the world now" attitude was completely gone.
~ Robert Plant - In His Own Words 
1979:
Dave Lewis has written a whole book about Knebworth, so there’s not much more I can add except even after all these years the Knebworth concerts are still emotional events.

1986:
The Spanish island of Ibiza in the Mediterranean Sea is known for its nightclubs and white sand beaches. Ulysses was lured there by the song of sirens and Nostradamus predicted it would be the final refuge of humanity at the end of the world.

In 1986 it wasn't the celebrity party hot-spot it is today, but it was already a destination for those in the know.  In 1985 Robert Plant filmed the video for his single “Sea of Love” (Jimmy Page guitar) on Ibiza, and Jimmy Page was back the following year to play with the jam band, Safe Sex, at the Heartbreak Hotel in San Antonio.
