I was sitting around 10th row on the floor on Jimmy's side. He was hunched over most of the time, and with his hair and beard, you couldn't see his face most of the time. Robert, on the other hand, was a total live wire. He was almost 'flying' around the stage. Pure energy.<br /><br />"The sound sucked, but that was the International Amphitheater, which was built for cattle shows. In those days, the way that bands tried to compensate for the poor acoustics was to play even louder to drown out the echoes. The result was even more echoes. Not to mention that your ears would ring for at least three or four days afterward. We're all lucky we have any hearing left.<br /><br />"One of the most memorable moments was during Whole Lotta Love. Some really freaky chick managed to get up on stage, with her halter top falling off. She was dancing around the stage, clearly 'influenced' by some fun substances. Rather than toss her off the stage, Robert seized the moment, and engaged in dancing with her. It got pretty crazy, and almost obscene at moments, on both of their parts.<br /><br />"When I think about it, there are some photos of that! I'm gonna have to remember really hard who had them, but they were simply snapshots. I do remember seeing that girl in some of the shots. Crazy stuff.<br /><br />"Those were the daze!"Steve Sauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823992972037781146noreply@blogger.com
