I think the Youngbloods were playing when it started to rain.<br />It was an awesome concert..certainly one of a kind and besides a bit of violence because of people not allowed in..it was great.<br />I wouldn't trade the era I grew up in for anything.<br />Nothing like the 60's and 70's.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13045238234151333406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-55685367604140500022018-04-19T10:44:38.869-05:002018-04-19T10:44:38.869-05:00Didn't know about the politics, didn't ca...Didn't know about the politics, didn't care we were high,Iron Butterfly were great, Zeppelin blew me away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-38665588785990072152015-01-10T19:07:06.282-06:002015-01-10T19:07:06.282-06:00" It is said that performer Diane Heatheringt..." It is said that performer Diane Heatherington had to coax Led Zeppelin to stick around and play their set."<br /><br />That is the understatement of the year. <br /><br />I was backstage as part of the hastily assembled crew and Zepplin and their manager were acting like complete drunken A-holes refusing to leave the dressing room due to their contract stipulation that they were to be off stage by 11 PM. If Dianne hadn't threatened to tell everyone in the arena that they were refusing to go on, but they were staying at the Winnipeg Inn if anyone wanted to talk to them about it, they would have left everyone high and dry. They went on and did a crappy, drunken 1 hour set. Ides of March blew them off stage with their professionalism and enthusiasm. Zepplin were nothing more than a bunch of over hyped poseurs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-64515145375914336782012-10-06T07:06:41.763-05:002012-10-06T07:06:41.763-05:00It wasn't Winnipeg's "first" out...It wasn't Winnipeg's "first" outdoor rock festival.
