SOME PEOPLE CRY
AND SOME PEOPLE DIE
BY THE WICKED WAYS OF LOVE
BUT I'LL JUST KEEP ROLLIN' ALONG
WITH THE GRACE
OF THE LORD ABOVE
Led Zeppelin,
one of the world's
most foremost rock bands,
presented a concert
April 14,
in the Ottawa Civic Centre,
Ottawa, Ont.
The concert was sponsored by
one of the local music stores,
the Treble Cleft.
The concert was an
immeasurable success
and attended by nearly
8,000 young people.
The Zeppelin
presented themselves
not only as splendid musicians
but as true showmen.
Although the group arrived late,
they performed a thrilling show
with a highlight of
John Bonham's drum solo
without drum sticks.
Bonham formed such a rapport
with the audience it seemed
that you and he were alone.
Everyone was aware of this
and it gave added reason
for the
standing ovation given him.
Jimmy Page also had a
solo on lead guitar.
Jimmy showed that he not
only a master on lead
with his fingers
but also with a violin bow.
Page's presentation of
"Heartbreaker"
was completely unbelievable.
It was like listening
to the song
for the first time.
Page also received
a standing ovation.
John Paul Jones
remained somewhat subdued
as usual.
But his bass was as
heavy and as great
as always.
Plant,
seemed to have cut
his vocals somewhat
but still thrilled
the crowd with
"Dazed and Confused".
Plant's body motions
set the
whole audience loose
and relaxed.
Robert's harmonica
sounded as sweet
and mellow as always.
The group left the stage
with the crowd
begging for more.
