Led Zeppelin tickets were $6.50 first time I saw them !

It was the Fillmore East and we went to see a British guy, Terry Reid. He was bottom of the bill that night. Top that night was Iron Butterfly wearing out Ina-gada-da-crapa. A drum solo song that could have been shortened about 22 minutes.Terry was great, what a set of lungs.
But middle of the bill was Jimmy Page's new band. He was coming out of the Yardbirds and was already a guitar god. This was their first time in the States.
Zep rocked the house down, got an ovation. And when Butterfly came on, people were yellin' to bring Zep back.

Then there was the time I had to give away a pair of tickets to see them at Convention Hall in Asbury Park. I bought them, and a few weeks latter found out Woodstock 1 was the same weekend. And Wood.1 was 16.50 I think for all 3 days. Plus Jeff Beck was on the bill, so maybe Zep would stop by and jam?!
As it turned out, neither showed up. But the rest is history. I gave the ticks. to a couple of my roadies.
