1966:
Mick Jagger and Keith Richard wrote Chris Farlowe's biggest hit, Out of Time. Jagger produced it as well as sang backup vocals, with Jimmy Page on guitar.
"Funnily enough I didn’t like the song at first. I saw myself as an r’n’b and blues singer, and it seemed too “pop” to me. But Mick said, wait until you hear it with a full orchestra behind it. And he was right – it’s a great song. I’ve still got photographs of the recording session.’
~ Chris Farlowe, The Merceysider Magazine interview 2014
~ Chris Farlowe, The Merceysider Magazine interview 2014
The orchestra was okay. Kind of overdone, if you ask me. But Jimmy Page - he was the secret weapon. More would have been better.

1968:
There isn't much info about this Led Zeppelin appearance, but Mick Farren (1943-2013) of The Deviants talked about the show.
"We supported Led Zeppelin at one of their first gigs at the local Bristol boxing club and the audience hated us and despised them. Somebody threw a beer glass at the stage and Sid Bishop, our guitarist, unfortunately threw it back and cut somebody's head open. When Led Zeppelin came on, they got through number and a half until the fire extinguishers, buckets, bricks and everything was being thrown at them.
"All these farmboys with brown suits and haircuts who had come into town looking to get laid marched in. Page and Plant were cracking up in the dressing room after we'd come off, saying how terrible we were. But they had gotten the same treatment because by now it had gotten way out of hand. We had to huddle inside the van while the kids bounced up and down on it and we didn't escape until 2 in the morning when it was safe to go home."
Chris Farlowe sang on three tracks from Jimmy Page's Death Wish II soundtrack (1982), as well as Hummingbird, Prison Blues and Blues Anthem on Outrider
.1995:
Jimmy Page & Robert Plant's American tour was sponsored by Miller Genuine Draft (Miller Brewing Company), a portion of the proceeds from the sponsored tour to benefit the Second Harvest National Food Bank Network. It's not clear to me whether every venue in 1995 was covered or only the first leg of the tour. Part of the deal was the Miller Genuine Draft Led Zeppelin Memorabilia truck that was supposed to show up at each venue, and 50 "Miller Genuine Draft Page/Plant guitars" were to be autographed and donated to the cause. The brewing company guaranteed a minimum $100,000 for Second Harvest.

- 1970 Led Zeppelin - New York, NY at Madison Square Garden- 2 Shows

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.

- 1970 Led Zeppelin - San Diego, CA at San Diego Sports Arena
- 1971 Led Zeppelin - New York, NY at Madison Square Garden
- 1998 Page & Plant arrive in Vancouver, British Columbia
1970
According to Dave Lewis the crowd in San Diego was rowdy. Then Jimmy Page had a problem with his guitar in the acoustic set and Bron Yr Aur was abandoned. Robert Plant got creative with Whole Lotta Love lyrics.
After all that, a music critic from San Diego Union panned the show, ending with..."if this music is part of the new life style, it somehow makes the wrong side of 40 seem like the right side." [D. Dierks/Music Critic/SD Union/9-4-70]
I always wonder if the music critics of then ever ate their words.

1971:
"I'm Scott Muni, from WNEW-FM. They take a poll over in England every year. For the second time, the greatest rock and roll band in the land, LED ZEPPELIN!"!
"...the stage collapsed. Plant and Page made their way to the top of the stacks of amps, then crawled down and off stage. The house lights came up and the P.A. announcer asked for calm and for everyone to return to their seats."

"The stage goes dark after Becks set and when the lights come on Jimmy Page is onstage which causes the crowd to go crazy".
This was a quote from someone who was at one of the Cow Palace shows - I meant to share it a few days ago but forgot.
1984
"...and Tony Franklin on hair and bass."
I'd have liked to have been a fly on the wall listening to some of the cracks that must have been made about Tony's hair back then.
