Hello all.....I found a copy of I'm With the band by Pamela Des Barres
in the bargain bin at the bookstore for $3.98. I have to say I was
surprised by it! It was very good!
Anyway, about Led Zeppelin she said: "Led Zeppelin in 1969 was an
event unparralleled in musical history. They played longer and harder
than any group ever had, totally changing the concept of rock concerts.
They flailed around like dervishes, making so much sound that the air
was heavy with metal. Two hours after the lights went out, as the band
sauntered offstage, the audience was a delirious, raving, parched mass,
crawling though the rock and roll desert thirsting for an encore.
Twenty long minutes later, Zeppelin returned to satiate their famished
follwers."
About Robert she wrote: "Robert Plant was the first to walk in (the
night club), tossing his gorgeous lion's mane into the faces of enslaved
sycophants. He walked like royalty, his shoulders thrown back,
declaring his mighty status in the lowly little club. He was follwed by
the king of rowdy glaring rowdies, Richard Cole, who seemed to be
scanning the room for likely-looking jailbait."
And there is lots and lots about Mr. Jimmy Page. It was
very.......interesting. Has anyone out there read it?
