Review:

62,000 Led Zeppelin Fans Jam Kingdome



They came at night by the thousands, some waiting for two days in the rain and cold for

a chance to have their ears assaulted and nerves numbed and to say they saw Led Zeppelin.

It was a night of pot, pills and popcorn with the popcorn coming in a close third to the

other two. But overall, the Led Zeppelin concert at the Kingdome came off without too much

trouble. There were several arrests, lots of dope and booze smuggled in – either under coats

or inside bodies – and some very sick kids from drinking too much. “It's not a bad bunch

considering the number of people here”, one Seattle police officer said of the 62,000 people,

“and considering the reputation of the group.” Led Zeppelin has earned a reputation for

attracting surly crowds which generally fight and riot. But the most damage was to the ears

and there is a possibility 62,000 people will spend today saying, “Huh?” What attracted these

people, generally hard-core rock fans, was the experience.



It was appreciated by some when the lead singer, Robert Plant, told the crowd he was deaf in

one ear. It was a miracle the whole band wasn’t stone deaf. Later, Plant said his hearing came

back during one number. The concert started shortly after 8 p.m. amid fireworks and people

holding up lighted matches, the moment everybody had been waiting for. Throughout the long

Sunday, the huge crowd remained orderly as it waited to get through the gates and have the

experience. At 4:30 yesterday afternoon, the 20,000 or so Zeppelin fans waiting at the Kingdome

started to chant, “We want in, we want in.” Suddenly a movement rippled through the crowd like

a wave pushing the front-line troops into the fence. Plant promised that the 1977 tour would be

“blood, thunder and the hammer of the gods”. A squad of paramedics was geared up for the blood

and everybody else was geared up for the thunder and hammer part.

Comments:

A very good show considering the 2-week layoff between the LA Forum gigs and this one. Monitor

problems plagued some of their acoustic set. Also, Page broke a string during Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp

and Jones filled in with jazz improvisation (Plant: "At least we know we can play in the hotel

bar afterwards"). Stairway To Heaven has the most beautiful Page solo ever performed, and the

show as a whole is strong and full of energy, even though it may not be the most technically

perfect one.
