 Canadaboy Review: Zeppelin More Solid Than Ever The small sleek jet zooming Led Zeppelin into Toronto for a one-nighter was almost two hours late. When the jet finally touched down on Canadian soil, after a 55-minute flight from New York, there was less an hour to hustle through customs, climb into two chauffeured limousines and whisk through 15 miles of congested traffic before arriving at the backstage doors at the huge Maple Leaf Gardens. The private jet waited on the tarmac in Toronto while the group swept superbly through more than two hours of concert and then rushed back to the airport to fly on to Chicago. Less than five hours on Canadian soil for a fee of more than $50,000. The latest Led Zeppelin tour – their fifth – includes only 20 gigs, but it will gross in excess of a million dollars. It will also substantially help to sell at least two million copies of the band’s new album which will be released within four weeks and is NOT called “Led Zeppelin 4”. Before over 17,000 fans at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens, the group performed three of the cuts from their new LP and they were all well received. But it was the familiar material – the rock classics such as You Shook Me, Communication Breakdown, Dazed and Confused, and the masterpiece Whole Lotta Love – which drew the heftiest applause. Despite the oft-heralded downfall of hard rock, Led Zeppelin is living, loving proof that although James Taylor is doing fine, he has quite a way to go before reaching the superstar success level of Zep or their U.S. counterparts, Grand Funk. Led Zeppelin drew their reportedly largest rock crowd (over 20,000) in Vancouver’s history a week before; they sold out Madison Square Garden in New York and they smashed box office records across the continent, proving yet again that the current scene has no act to come within a country mile of their popularity. We eventually arrived at the Gardens half an hour late, and Page was clearly concerned about the group’s lack of punctuality. People were pouring into the dressing room and talking louder and louder as Page tried to tune his axe to John Paul Jones’ bass. The noise had reached a distinct drone when Page suddenly turned around and told everyone to please leave. The road managers hustled around and cleared the room of all but a couple of people, which didn’t include a photographer who came down to snap the group receiving numerous Canadian gold disc awards. When Page and Jones completed their tuning, Bonham changed clothes and swigged from a bottle of beer, Plant downed a couple of lemon teas and squeezed into an embroidered vest which barely covered the upper half of his mid riff. Then surrounded by Police and security men, they hastened out of the dressing room and climbed up on to the nine foot stage which was presumably designed to keep the faithful at bay. After two encores and 140 minutes of music, the group climbed off stage, and jumped into the limousines and sped back to their jet. (Ritchie Yorke, Sept. 1971) Led Zeppelin May 01, 2026
 stephenhuerta 04/30/2026 Update: This John Lennon concert film was everything that I was expecting. I knew that it would take me back, back to my youth, and it did. During the third song I had tears in my eyes, totally into this concert movie. I couldn’t sit still, I was groovin’ through out the performance. John Lennon rocked at this 1972 concert, his back up band, Elephants Memory Plastic Ono Band was hot. This well oiled machine could rock, and they did. I can’t help but wonder, John Lennon had to have had the best session musicians that NYC had to offer in 1972. Two drummers (that impressed me), two guitarists, a keyboard player, a saxophone player, and a bassist. Yoko sang and played electric piano. John sang all the vocals and played rhythm guitar. This band knew what they were doing. I’m so glad I went and saw this filmed concert, my wife Xochitl went with me, she even liked it. We were the first to walk into the empty theater, we kinda like that, being the first, we were dedicated. My wife said she saw around 20 people total in the theater, a small crowd. What we saw, I believe, was the first screening of this world wide event. The first day was April 29, a Wednesday, I don’t believe there was an earlier screening that day. It was incredible, so was the crowd. Everyone had tambourines, which I believe were handed out, because John Lennon mentioned, “I see everyone got their tambourine”. I could see that everyone was dancing and totally into the music. The crowd was amazing. How I wish I could have been at this concert in 1972. I can just imagine the people who were there, and having the opportunity to see the film today. That has to take you back. Such lucky people. I highly recommend this concert film, especially if you’re a John Lennon fan, like we are. If I get the opportunity to see this concert film again, I certainly will.

 Robert R McNichols The Gatlins did this "missing man" concert as a memorial to Joshua Graffius, who had died May 05, 2013 in a dirt bike accident. Our grandkids and their friends were there, and Larry had them all on-stage to talk and sing with him. Most of these kids had been to the 2009 concert when Josh sang "Sweet Becky Walker' with Larry on stage. It was amazing, and a great joy for all of us. Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Bros. Apr 30, 2026

 Staggerlee James yes of course. Don't Ease ended first set and Monster Shakedown opener for second set. Was one of the best Shakes I've seen. Could have been the vibe and the head space though. The whole show is one of my favorites you can find it out there . Just gotta poke around. Grateful Dead Apr 30, 2026
