Here's something a little off the wall. June 18, 1972; While I'm at work at the Trio Restaurant the owner's son came up to me with two Led Zeppelin tickets for that evening. He wanted to sell me one. They were $5.50 back the, believe it or not. The problem was that this was also the night of my high school graduation. I actually skipped my graduation to see Led Zeppelin. Yes, c_a, I know you hate them. I have seen many if not most of the great Classic Rock bands... The Stones, The Dead, Yes, Sly and the Family Stone, Pink Floyd, Santana, etc... too many to mention. Led Zep was in a class by themselves. Absolutely the best concert I ever saw. This was just as they were releasing their fourth album with Stairway to Heaven on it. They were very much in their prime. My parents hated that I skipped graduation to see a Rock concert but I am very glad I had my priorities right and saw an incredible concert instead. Many of my friends from back then are still jealous today.
