An Evening with Led Zepelin Apr 20, 1977 (47 years ago) Riverfront Coliseum Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
2nd concert of 2 nights in Cincinnati. It was my very first concert and still THE BEST concert I've ever seen, and ended up being the last concert Led Zeppelin would ever perform in Cincinnati. I'll never forget standing on the floor of the coliseum at the end of the show and feeling the concrete floor literally BoUnCiNg Up AnD dOwN from everybody stomping their feet as "Trampled Under Foot" ended their 3+ hour long performance (this was a 2nd encore song that the band rarely did). I didn't know it at the time, but their last song ever performed in Cincinnati was a warning of danger, because it became ironically prophetic for me just a few years later and yards away, specifically on the cold winter Monday Evening of December 3, 1979 at The Who concert outside on the pavilion of Riverfront Coliseum, when I survived a stampede or crowd push at 7:30 PM that almost killed me. The same crowd push/stampede sent 26 rockers to local hospitals with severe trauma/crushing injuries, but tragically worse, 11 rockers to the coroner's office (may they all R.I.P., they are not forgotten).
Arena Rock, Blues, Blues Rock, British Blues, Classic Rock, Folk, Folk Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Progressive Rock, Rock, British, and Album Oriented Rock (AOR).

Interesting side note, this was the first concert Jimmy wore the white dragon satin pants. The previous night he wore the plain white pants. Same white jacket most nights of the tour.
