Hey all,
'PlanetPage' posted this question on my Vegasradio blog, I remember when the Doors, Iron Butterfly, and even the Turtles did concerts at the Ice Palace in Commercial Center but don't remember Zeppelin doing a show there. The DA at the time George Franklin had police officers standing by if Jim Morrison did anything considered to be "obscene." If you dig deep enough on the 'net you may be able to find photos of that event.
I even remember KENO doing a promotion where they gave away "Steel Wool" blacklight posters. You could get them at The Lollipop Shop in Parkway Plaza at Sahara & Maryland Parkway.
Maybe someone remembers when Zeppelin appeared here. IIRC Zeppelin toured in the late '60s as a secondary act for the group Spirit (the intro to "Stairway to Heaven" is a actually Spirit's instrumental "Taurus" previously released)
Anyway, PlanetPage wrote,
"Hi, I am still wondering if anyone know about Led Zeppelin at Ice Palace Summer’69 - There were radio announcements, that is for sure..is there any way to establish contact with some of the DJ’s who would have announced this? or are Radio transcripts are available from 1969?…
Tks.
