Led Zeppelin Day on the Green 7-24-77 photos by john taylor These photos were taken with an Argus 110 instamatic - a piece of crap, but it was an "upgrade" for me from the cumbersome Polaroid I'd been using. I'd SURE like to find the negatives of these shots. The prints are now close to 30 years old and faded. I attended the Sunday July 24, 1977 concert at Oakland Coliseum. Day on the Green. With Thai Stick in sock and our $10 tickets, my pal Peter Cox and I entered into a wondrous world of rock and roll concert going '70s style - sex under blankets, little kids wrapped in American Flag blankets, Judas Priest, Rick Derringer, and the tight but loose dulcetones of the Led. Never mind they started three hours late and Bill Graham fibbed they were having some trouble "with Jimmy's double neck." I'll never forget this show. The other day, with 6700 songs to choose from, my randomly-set iPod played the live version of Whole Lotta Love from How the West Was Won - a 23 minute workout - and right after that, I heard "....and now, the marks for artistic interpretation...." as Roy Harper's "Manana" came next. It was such a perfect transition, however random. Knowing Harper's connection with Led Zeppelin, and the silly comments that start the song after such a self-indulgent Whole Lotta faffling, it was quite good and brought a smile to my face. I love Led Zeppelin - always have and always will. But 23 minutes! On this day in July 1977, it was No Quarter that got the half-hour plus workout.
