RE: 30 Years down the road

["Josh Mooney" <jmooney10@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, Bruce. You got me. You shamed me into remembering and recounting. But
of course I'm happy to do so, and why NOT? Great shows at MSG they were.
Best concerts I ever saw. I will be writing about June 11, the second night
I saw them but the one I remember most clearly. I'll finish it in a couple
days, but here's how it begins-- just a teaser: "It's well after nine
o'clock by my groovy '70s digital watch, but Zep is nowhere to be seen.
Official concert start time: 8 pm. The crowd is getting restless.
Understatement of the year. The crowd is INSANE! This is getting dangerous--
real ultra-violence. It's my first-ever visit to NYC from the humble hamlet
of Pittsburgh, and I'm a little intimidated. I'm 13 years old. Some burly,
bearded  biker-type in full leathers is next to me, tossing a two-gallon jug
o' wine up in the air like it's a tennis ball. Christ knows what that dark,
oily liquid inside really is. I'm getting up the nerve to ask him for a
taste...
