Led Zeppelin

I have seen this as a t-shirt worn by young kids today.  I can say with pride that I was there.  I would like to say that my first love was The Grateful Dead, but it was actually Led Zeppelin.  My parents let me go with some friends to April 12, 1977 show at the Metropolitan Center.  I was 13 years old.  Let's call it a baptism of fire.  I sort of remember the night that my friends and I were listening to the album The Song Remains the Same (which is the soundtrack to the LZ movie) and getting baked beyond belief.  There was a local movie theater that had the old fashioned large single screen. As I watched it, I was simply blown away.  Our local rock station did a Led Zeppelin A-Z over a weekend that I was going up to my grandparent's cabin.  They did have a contest giving away all of their albums.  I sent in for the drawing hoping that my name would be drawn. What felt like weeks later,  I came home after doing what I usually did after school (no it wasn't sports or anything wholesome like that.) My sister met me at the door with a big smile on her face.  She said, Remember that contest? KQ? Led Zeppelin? You won!"
My mood just soared, until I couldn't get ahold of them.  Then, it crashed.  She said, "Here stupid."  She pointed to the right number.  I called the number for the station and got the right person.  Yes, I indeed had won their catalouge.   I was really hoping that they would return to Minnesota, but this was not to be.  John Bonham, who was considered to be the best rock drummer, died of asphyxiation due to heavy drinking.  The band decided to call it quits. 
    About two years ago, I had gotten a vine that contained many Led Zeppelin shows.  I am taking a break from the Grateful Dead to go through this vine.  I will return to the Dead as soon as it over.  I have a nephew that I shared this vine.  I hope he enjoys it.  The music is great.
