I'm not gonna get specific.only that my new stepmom is even worse than the last one. Another difference from 1973, other than being older and taller, is that my family situation has changed. Which makes going to concerts a task that sometimes requires military-esque tactical planning. Which is even further away from the Forum of Inglewood and other choice concert venues. I am a freshman in High School now.and far from my relatively buccolic Southern California beach-bum life in 1973, I am now living in the comparative hick environs of Riverside. Everything from the anticipation to the post-show exhaustion/euphoria. Any legitimate questions I will gladly answer to the best of my ability, whether asked here or via PM.Īs I said last year, my primary reasons for doing this, besides it allowing me to relive a fun part of my life, is to provide the younger readers here a window to the past, a small slice of what a Led Zeppelin concert was like to experience in the flesh. All I ask is please no trolling or spamming. I hope the mods are okay with this.if they feel this best belongs in the Live section or elsewhere, I'm fine with them moving it.Īt each appropriate signpost date, I will add a post. I will begin the 1972 thread at the appropriate time. That is why I am starting this thread will save me from having to write an unholy long post on June 21, haha. They will encompass everything about those shows from getting the tickets to the concerts themselves and the aftermath. I will do two separate threads.one for 1972 and one for 1977. So here we go again as we take a stroll down memory lane. So now 2012 is already upon me and I realize that if I am going to do the 19 shows justice, I better get cracking. Not that I'm complaining.nobody asked me to be so thorough, and it was fun reliving a fun part of my youth. ![]() After each of those three posts I wrote last year I was wiped out, exhausted. Don't know if you realize this, but I put so much into those posts, trying to personalize and contextualize them so that the reader can imagine him or herself there, that it is taxing mentally and physically. That was so many months ago, I figured I had plenty of time to recharge my batteries. When I wrote last year about going to the 1973 shows, many asked for a similar take on the anniversaries of the 19 LA Forum gigs I attended. Yet at the time it seemed to encompass a lifetime. It is 2012.which makes this year the 40th anniversary of my first Led Zeppelin concerts(1972) and the 35th anniversary of my last(1977). ![]() Post #1: Led Zeppelin Tickets: Top Priority of the Winter
