"When blues musical duo Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie wrote "When the Levee Breaks", the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was still fresh in people's memories. The flooding affected 26,000 square miles of the Mississippi Delta. Hundreds were killed and hundreds of thousands of residents were forced to evacuate" -wiki

Sad end to Vince. I did like it when an interviewer asked him if they (GD) might cover White Punks on Dope and Vince said something like, if Jerry wants to wear the huge oversized prop shoes then they could go for it. I think Vince was probably responsible for GD covering Baba O Riley in the encores (With a little tease of Tomorrow Never Knows thrown in).

So so many great Led Zep live recordings out there in the innernet land. But they do tend to start off with overblown sound for the first song or so. Skip into the meat of the set and they are great. RP voice is best 69-72 but there are some great 73, 75 moments too.

LZ Southampton UK 1973 is a good one. Playing the cafeteria or some such venue at a university. Very loose. Good stage patter. Giving a little extra encore. There is a northwest US show or 2 and Vancouver, BC in 73 and also 75 that really shine. Shame that 1972 is not well represented in shiny clean board tapes. That is the height of RP voice before the change.

I saw The Tubes at a benefit concert with Ronnie Montrose, Todd Rundgren and Robin Williams as the MC. I was standing on the side of the stage with a few roadies, closest to Welnick. He made a show of lining up joints on his keyboard, smoking them one by one and flicking them, half-lit, across the stage or into the crowd. One landed at my feet, still smoldering. I looked at it, then at Welnick. He smiled and nodded; the guy next to me elbowed me and said, "Hey, pick that up!" Since it was the 80s, I grabbed it and took a toke, then gave it to Elbow Guy. Welnick heartily approved.
