Winter of '69 I think..
The warm up/lead in band was this group we never heard of.... it was Led Zeppelin..
Needless to say we were all blown away by Led Zep... It was a long show. Zeppelin came back out and did a few more sets. Jimmy Page was really into the show and it was fantastic!!
When the show ended, they opened all the doors and it was daylight out!!!!
Good times..

I remember from years ago Doug Ingle who wrote it said that he drank like a gallon of wine, went to bed and had a dream about a song called "In the Garden of Eden". He woke up, turned on the eight track to record it and then went back to bed to sleep it off. The next day he turned on the tape and because he was so drunk the words came out "in a gadda da vida."
