I saw Zeppelin for the first time in '73. Those were the general admission days and we were right up front....amazing show!! Black Sabbath I didn't catch until their reunion tour in '99 but I had seen Ozzy before that.
I saw Pink Floyd in '74?...anyway, it was the 'Animals' tour. They came on and did the whole 'Animals' album, then they played the entire 'Wish You Were Here' album. They came back and did 'Money' for an encore and that was the show.
I used to sneak my camera into a few shows. I would strap the camera body and big ole zoom lens under my clothes and used a 1500 asa film so I didn't need a flash. I have some great pictures of Peter Gabriel and some really cool ones of Jimmy Page w/ The Firm. My best concert photos are of Stevie Ray Vaughan, taken during a Mardi Gras concert on a riverboat. It was televised by MTV and we hung out with the crew and had the best spot for watching the show and snapping pics. Somehow the pics turned out great. That was a small miracle, given the 'circumstances'
. I took some pics at a Who show and those pics are memorable only for their awfulness.
