Never disputed that. If you search the archives, you'll find that I
quoted liberally from Mick Wall's book and thought it was a real shame
that Plant supposedly vetoed Achilles and 'extended jamming'.
There was a lot that
was wrong with that night too (the amount of people there who were not
what most of us would consider real fans). We were in line for five
or six hours next to two guys from Alberta who were almost indifferent
to Led Zeppelin, but were there because it was a major event. For all
the warmth there was, there was also a lot of coldness in the crowd
from people who were there because it was a place to be seen or a
place to tell everyone you went. Not the band's fault of course -
just the nature of the times in which we live.
