LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JUNE 2, 2019…FORTY SIX YEARS AGO LED ZEPPELIN PLAYED KEZAR STADIUM. THE SHOW DREW 50 THOUSAND FANS. IT WAS 1973 AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY WATCHING SOME OF THESE VIDEOS VIDEO ON HOW THE STAGE LOOKED LIKE IT WAS CONSTRUCTED BY A HIGH SCHOOL SHOPS CLASS AS OPPOSED TO THE SOPHISTICATED SET-UPS YOU SEE NOWADAYS.

FROM LEDZEPPELIN.COM HERE’S A NEWS REPORT OF THE DAYS EVENTS:

50,000 See Led Zeppelin in Bay City

The British rock group Led Zeppelin drew 50,000 rock fans who paid $320,000 at Kezar Stadium last weekend. Although the 2 ½ hour show Saturday was 6,000 short of capacity, listeners blanketed the football field and stands. Hundreds of others heard the music for free from rooftops in the surrounding neighborhood.

A month ago, Led Zeppelin grossed $309,000 to shatter the Beatles’ mark in 1965. Organizers said the group netted better than $1,000 per minute during the show here. It was the second large rock concert in a week at Kezar. The only casualties reported were some bad drug trips, a broken leg and a security guard accidentally wounded with his own revolver.

More than 250 cars were towed away from illegal parking areas around the stadium, police reported.

ALSO ACCORDING TO LEDZEPPELIN.COM, THIS WAS THE SETLIST:

Rock and Roll, Celebration Day, (Bring It On Home intro) Black Dog, Over the Hills and Far Away, Misty Mountain Hop, Since I’ve Been Loving You, No Quarter, The Song Remains the Same, Rain Song, Dazed and Confused (incl.
