We spent the Who show standing shoulder to shoulder in the lawn. When they sang "...listening to YOU", they would turn on huge spot lights from the stage illuminating the 20000 people. I also remember a cop firing his gun in the air as we very slowly excited the venue. What a show!

Isaw LED ZEPPELIN AS well.

This concert was a real late 60s moment in time. Growing up and going to school in downtown DC I saw a LOT of these moments believe me. Protest marches every other week with free concerts (Beach Boys etc.). I had my fun. But I thought the lefties were dead wrong then, and I still do. However front row for the 60's stuff was quite the spectacle for a young boy. Zooooom The 70s were quite boring by comparison. Make that real boring.BikerJim500https://www.blogger.com/profile/11381542339843469115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888624027946485725.post-55739056502894421252014-03-15T18:24:56.475-04:002014-03-15T18:24:56.475-04:00LZ ROCKED !

The Who, whom I had come to see were a real let down. I've alway's bragged a bit about seeing LZ at such a young age (I was 13), rare mentioning that the Headliner Who (Who?) were there. People would not let LZ off the stage. As I've heard later, this really pissed off The Who, WhoMM off-ed them from the rest of the tour, or at least that is what I understand. (I could be wrong, how would I know) Although it was as I said, I still grabbed a piece of Who smashed up guitar after they left the stage. Great memories of my first rock concert.<br />JiMBikerJim500https://www.blogger.com/profile/11381542339843469115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888624027946485725.post-52103365505021945992013-01-12T15:55:23.690-05:002013-01-12T15:55:23.690-05:00I was there LZ sucked.

People breaking fnces and doors to get in was common inteh DC area,as it was there were more anti-war protests in DC than anywhere else,and lot's of people had real experience fightingthe police in the streets. First rock show at RFK stadium people brought grappling hooks and ropes- hundreds of people scaled the stadium,like pirates swarming onto a shipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
