And vice-versa!
One kind of funny thing about that show, though. We were 2nd row center (BOO-yeah) and whoever greased whom to get the FRONT row seats did so by bringing in a passel of 5-year-olds. Some righ a**hole's way of giving their kids a party or something. They had sparklies and deely-bop antennas that lit up and everything. They had NO clue.
At one point Plant would come to the front of the stage and he was making eye contact with the kids climbing up the stage and he was making sweet faces and all. That was fine but when he did "Whole Lotta Love" he was being all "sexy" (well as sexy as he could by then) and saying things like "Momma's gotta have it. Poppa's gotta have it too" and normally I'd be there screaming "Whooo HOOOO!" but he kept cracking up because he was literally singing it to 5-year-olds and it SO ruined the intent. Became comical. Oh well.
I'd still like to SWACK the moron who gave the tickets to the "Soccer Mom and Dad's Club." What a waste.

Ok, that's weird. I was there as well. This was my third concert ever. First was Kiss in '76 at the Baltimore Civic Center, then Rush at the same venue, then Zep at the Capital Centre in Largo. It was either the first or second night. I remember being bummed that they were there for a third show that I couldn't go to after seeing them the night before.CygnusX1 wrote:YYZ...

Yep, that was one of SCADS of shows I saw at Capital Centre.
I was there when the Rock-umentary "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" was filmed before the Judas Priest show way back when....can't remember the year...can't remember much of the show either heh heh
I'm DYING to find that film online somewhere...those were good times.
