An amazing chronicle.
August 25, 1967 Yardbirds/Youngbloods/Jake Holmes
The Yardbirds, particularly Jimmy Page, were so taken with the Jake Holmes song "I'm Confused" that they went to a local record store and bought the album. They learned the song and recorded it on the Yardbirds 1968 live album, and--as we know--it evolved into Led Zeppelin's "Dazed And Confused."
December 26/27, 1967
Grateful Dead/Take 5
It snowed on at least one of the nights, and due to holes in the ceiling snow was actually falling onto the stage.
There's a word for that...Page-iarism!
Didn't know about the holes in the roof! I've read "Bill Graham Presents" and that book with all the Amalie Rothschild photos, but I can't recall whether Graham fixed such issues when he took over.
I'm listening to a Who bootleg from 1968 (Fillmore East). Townshend said the last time they played there it was called The Village Theater. He said they like it much better now, and it was a "pisshole" when it was the Village Theater. Can anyone corroborate?
