Hey Jose !!!!! finally catching up on this episode ....I knew very little about this. Just fantastic job you keep teaching this ol' ZepHed new info. Thanks !!!
I am. very fond of priciple of moments it was a real go to in the late 80 s when i fancid abit of Robert, sounds li,e a good time ! Thanks yet again JCM realy fabbo,,as usual
1970 was an extraordinary sentimental year for me - it was the dawn of the 1970s - and the year I began attending kindergarten and met the girl in my class I had the hugest crush on - that is until I met my wife, Cindy - 20 years later. I'm so impressed with all your research and details. Thank you, José! PS: I have a suggestion for a future episode: I’ve always wondered who owned Jimmy Page’s No. 1 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard - BEFORE - Joe Walsh acquired it and sold it to Jimmy in late April of 1969 when Led Zeppelin played two shows several days apart at the Fillmore West in San Francisco?
Blimey, it looks like you've been really busy lately... 🥵 two videos in one week! That was great, I didn't know that story but I must say, the more I learn about things, the more my respect for Peter Grant grows. He fiercely defended the band's interests and was loyal to them; we hear about so many managers who stole and cheated... without a doubt, he deserves to be called "the fifth Zeppelin". RIP Mr. Grant. Thanks Jose, see you around 😊
Amazing info and detail as always Jose. Saw RP and the Sensational Space Shifters April 2018. The audience did not leave their seats for an hour before LZ songs started playing, then it was on like Donkey Kong !!!
I believe it's customary to give an Ono Warning long before that thing she does is... whatever. Seriously, good video as always. Overlooking that... whatever.
That Boston show cancelation was talked about at the start of the9/9/70 Garden show. Great episode as always. Thanks for your hard work and skill on storytelling.
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-StoriesThis was another great episode. Thanks for putting it together for us,Jose. I was lucky enough to see Stevie Ray Vaughan at The Rockpile on a very hot summer night in August of 1984…. almost 15 yrs to the day after Zeppelin played there. It was an incredible show and the first of three times I saw him live in Toronto. The other two times….he once opened up for Robert Plant at Maple Leaf Gardens and once at the Skydome opening up for Jeff Beck and Jeff Healey. The Rockpile was later turned into a tv studio where they filmed the Mike Bullard show on weekdays. It was a late night show that aired at 10pm across Canada. He had some great guests and was a big fan of rock music. I remember watching and taping the show with JPJ. I saw JPJ a few days later in Toronto at the Government Nightclub for his first solo tour supporting Zooma. I had front row dead center seat for that gig. It was a mind blowing experience seeing my idol so close up. The second time I saw JPJ was again in Toronto opening up for King Crimson at Massey Hall. I didn’t stay for KC. I left and went to the back alley of Massey Hall hoping to meet JPJ…..and I did! He came outside and hung out in the back alley signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. His band mates were there too taking pictures with us. That was an historic day for me….a day I’ll never forget. He was so friendly and humble. A real English gentleman. Cheers Ps. I absolutely love the “Toronto Rock Revival” gig. I have the DVD which I think might be a bootleg copy? There is a documentary on the show which came out about 4 years ago and is well worth watching. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson were both at that gig. The two were also at the Zeppelin Rockpile gig in August of 69 with original drummer John Rutsey. Geddy says “it was like Jimmy floated onto the stage”. They blew his mind! Cheers
Another epic deep dive. Growing up I had heard this story told in a very mixed up way which went something like: Led Zeppelin were busted for drugs in Vancouver and refused to ever play Canada again...seems like it was a mixed-up version of your story that the high school toughs were bloviating about.
Both videos this weekend were really great, JCM. That lineup JJ Jackson talked about is amazing for fans of pre-punk greatness like myself...Stooges, MC5, Stalk-Forrest Group (an early version of Blue Oyster Cult). Throw in the mighty Zeppelin and what an amazing show!
Hey Leamanc, thanks for watching, sorry my late reply, i've been going through ALL the comments! What a lineup right for this show? JJ Jackson was always quite supportive for the band!
Iron Butterfly got blown away by Led Zeppelin so many times, I'm surprised they still wanted to play on the same stage with them. Oh well---they were labelmates---part of the Atlantic records. Ahmet Ertegun family. Had to get along somehow
I saw Iron Butterfly twice, once with the IGDV line-up and the other with Rhino on guitar and I can tell you they were no slouches when it came to rockin' out live. They were a much heavier band live than they sounded on vinyl.
I think most bands sounded poppier on vinyl .Back in the day it was the only way to get any airplay and maybe a hit. Prior to the unholy 3, a band was risking their career if they went too heavy on vinyl, just look at the Yardbirds in '66 taking a chance releasing Happenings 10YTA which was savagely reviewed by Penny Valentine which stalled it's chart ascent causing them in future to revert to poppier stuff until Page saw the scene changing in '68 allowing them and their ilk to get heavier culminating in Zep who in turn made it ok for Sabbath and DP To follow suit. Listeners today have to realize it was a different time so you really have to put yourself in that frame of mind to fully understand that time period.
The same crowd nowadays won't buy physical media because "i already have it on Spotify" and "young musicians are lazy, they should get a job so my stock goes up". Thanks for watching!
The 1970 Festival Express was the answer to Woodstock. A series of shows across part of Canada summer of 1970. A festival for the musicians. A great film of what would of been a epic time for counter culture building the foundation of freaks today. Unlike Altamont, Woodstock, The plethora of Pop festivsls across the US in 68 to 70 this show was a epic traveling freakshow. If you were ever to spend time Winnipg summer of 1970 would of been the pinnacle.
I only found out about the Peter Grant / John Brower Rockpile altercation several years after the fact. To my mind, it only cemented the idea that Peter Grant, was a dyed in the wool *prick* despite his reputation, as a shrewd businessman. The contract was for Moncton so they played there instead of Mosport...
Woodstock was great for the fans and bands, but the people who lived there hated it! The trash and traffic and the crowd of " hippies" and the drugs gave them dire concerns.
It's "WINNIPEG" not Winnepeg". And there is another story to that Winnipeg event - apparently Zeppelin was very unhappy with the situation of the sound system in the Winnipeg Arena after the mass exodus from the nearby drenched stadium. There was word that they had no intention of taking the stage and stayed in the hotel room getting wrecked. Local singer Diane Heatherington showed up and gave the boys a piece of her mind and demanded that they quit their belly-aching and give the fans what they wanted and paid for. Zeppelin relented, took the arena stage, and the rest is Winnipeg history.
You're right. They played 5 more dates until 1975. Jun 07, 1972 The Forum Jul 18, 1973 Pacific Coliseum Feb 06, 1975 The Forum Mar 19, 1975 Pacific Coliseum Mar 20, 1975 Pacific Coliseum
Yoko uno was the worst i ever heard . She sounded like a cat being dragged a hundred yards by a car going 16 miles an hour. Its funny my cousin is like lennon , do as i say not as i do . He also married an asian woman . We get a long but thank god we live far apart .because i can't deal with him .
@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories I called it The Toronto Peace Festival. Same weekend groups played in Goose Lake, Michigan. I was at Mosport for that. I heard the promoters got sued because there was supposed to be a motorcycle race, but it never happened because they couldn't get the people off the track. Even without Led Zeppelin, it was a great concert. Did see them at Hampton Beach Casino, though. That was a great concert too.
Absolutely. I think the Yoko screaming effect was distracting and forgot haha. Mr. Voorman was more of a Tony Levin kinda guy playing with everyone so i probably focused on the others.
I’ll echo what’s been said in other comments: I never knew about this show (or no show). Your research always digs up some gems!
Wow Jose....a backstory on this band that I was not aware of. Great work. Ty! Ernie
Hey Jose !!!!! finally catching up on this episode ....I knew very little about this. Just fantastic job you keep teaching this ol' ZepHed new info. Thanks !!!
Glad you enjoyed it Vance! I can only imagine that Canadian promoter and Grant getting into a nasty feud hehe. Hope you are doing well my friend!
I never knew about the strawberry fields festival. Very cool video as always! Very interesting.
I am. very fond of priciple of moments it was a real go to in the late 80 s when i fancid abit of Robert, sounds li,e a good time ! Thanks yet again JCM realy fabbo,,as usual
Principle of Moments is one of the best albums of 1983, absolutely! Thank YOU for watching!
YOU'RE THE BEST 👍 I LOVE THIS!

Bahahaha!! Agreed!!!🤮

Always look forward to your releases,Jose….. but especially this one since I’m from Toronto. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hey Tim hope you enjoy this one. I learned a lot by doing the research. A Zeppelin deep dive coming up!

The Thanx in Advance OF COURSE was Totally Warranted-Yet Another Great Episode from Jose !

@@doccyclopz On vinyl, they sounded like a poppier version of the Doors---not heavy at all to my ears

The bands you mentioned were a few of the "ilk" I was thinking of as I tried to get my point across with no luck it would seem.
5:57 "Social justice activists argued festivals should be free." Of course they argued that.
The same crowd nowadays won't buy physical media because "i already have it on Spotify" and "young musicians are lazy, they should get a job so my stock goes up". Thanks for watching!
That's cos they are skint
I don't know why but for some reason when I hear Yoko talk or sing I get depressed, lol
@@arthurgonzales3327 it's a known side effect. Imagine i had to go through the whole performance to extract those bits. I am still recovering hahaha
Very interesting!
I do believe that was a BIG "F*%# YOU" to John Brower from Peter Grant...
Settling an old score.
Now Unexpectedly Thanx to Jose Sunday here in NYC’ll be a Zep one-Muchas Gracias in Advance JCM !

that yoko vocal noise was used on a L7 track
Awesome... the mystery of Led Zeppelin.. Detroit 73...... Grazie JCM
Woodstock was great for the fans and bands, but the people who lived there hated it!
The trash and traffic and the crowd of " hippies" and the drugs gave them dire concerns.
Yoko..Oh No!😮
🤣
Brilliant!!
JCM love your Zep kids my god, I'm spreading the word in Florida
Thank YOU very much! Spreading the word keeps the channel alive. MORE stuff coming :) Happy New Year!

Amazing and wonderful time, interesting!! Thanks.💯💯🎸✌️☮️
Dang, man, that's crazy what the Canadian Government did there. Thanks much for this intriguing and indepth documentary, Jose!
Zeppelin didn't play in Canada that much after Zeppelin 4 came out.
You're right. They played 5 more dates until 1975. Jun 07, 1972 The Forum
Jul 18, 1973 Pacific Coliseum
Feb 06, 1975 The Forum
Mar 19, 1975 Pacific Coliseum

Yoko uno was the worst i ever heard . She sounded like a cat being dragged a hundred yards by a car going 16 miles an hour. Its funny my cousin is like lennon , do as i say not as i do . He also married an asian woman . We get a long but thank god we live far apart .because i can't deal with him .
They say life imitates art. I think Lennon got swept by personal lifestyle choices and found a partner in that...
John Brower is still alive and active in Toronto. You should have talked to him before putting this together.
Wish i knew how :) I wish him well!
Nice - this is all news to me!
Yoko is like stepping on a nail
Yoko should not have tried to sing. The music was fine without her.
Yes. Unfortunately Lennon's attitude about it says it all. Eric Clapton had a Chuck Berry wtf moment. Poor slow hand!
What’s worse is when she climbed into a burlap bag…and kept yowling and yelping. Good lord. 🙄
Canadians do some squirrely things. Americans do, too, but they're more subtle and not as obvious.
Americans have a constitution. Canadians have nothing as we seen demonstrated during the great kovid lock down geno-cide.
Was Strawberry Fields at Mosport Race Track?
It was yes. The original site wasn't therefore my research.
@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories I called it The Toronto Peace Festival. Same weekend groups played in Goose Lake, Michigan. I was at Mosport for that. I heard the promoters got sued because there was supposed to be a motorcycle race, but it never happened because they couldn't get the people off the track. Even without Led Zeppelin, it was a great concert. Did see them at Hampton Beach Casino, though. That was a great concert too.
Yoko is a wrecking ball!
Amazing how many back to back days Plant had to sing.
Also funny how conservatives used to want events closed down, these days it’s liberals 😂
PLEASE GIVE A TRIGGER WARNING WHEN YOU PUT CLIPS OF YOKO CACKLING ON STAGE
Hahaha sorry!
1:57
HAAAAAAA HAAAAAAA HAAAAAA
Poor Eric! Haha. So mant theories of Lennon based on this right? Thanks for watching!
Lennon was deep in opiate withdrawal that night and just about didn't go on stage he was in such bad shape.
What a chaotic period for him. As much as he wanted his post Beatle freedom, i don't think he ever found himself in the 70s!
No shoutout to Klaus Voormann?
Absolutely. I think the Yoko screaming effect was distracting and forgot haha. Mr. Voorman was more of a Tony Levin kinda guy playing with everyone so i probably focused on the others.
