San Diego is almost the opposite. The first half hour of the show is wrought with tension and lackluster playing but recovers nicely. But the press enjoyed the show. Carol Olten published her review “Led Zeppelin Hits Peak At Sellout” in the San Diego Union. She writes that, “The culmination of all rock ‘n’ roll of a decade appears to have occurred with Led Zeppelin and the crowning achievement capable of its star instrument, the guitar, seems to be the possession of Jimmy Page, the British group’s leader, if such there be. Appearing Monday night in the Sports Arena before a sold-out house of 16,000 persons who began to gather outside the entrances at noon, Led Zep attested to all praises that have preceded its performance here, namely sold-out concerts all around the country and gold record sales that continue to mount. “Accompanied by John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant in combinations on vocals, guitar, drums and keyboards, Page shone as the supreme master of the heavy fuzz box guitar riff. His evolution from the early days of British rock with the Yardbirds appears complete. Nobody, but nobody plays guitar like Page. His is the final force, the power of a riff. A few solos Monday night were too excessive, but the sheer driving power of most over-shadowed any inadequacies. “Essentially, however the set was as powerful as rock ‘n’ roll ever gets. Raunchy, flashy, and full of fuzzy sheet metal noise that brought a musical form to its culmination – or, perhaps just into another dimension. Whatever, Led Zep has the power.” The opening songs are a bit rough but things warm up nicely with a scorching version of “Since I’ve Been Loving You.” During “No Quarter” John Paul Jones, after the intense spooky part of the solo, plays “weird piano” according to Robert Plant afterwards. It is a happy, jolly sitcom theme out of place with the tenor of the song, but still very interesting to hear. “Moby Dick is played out of sequence when Jimmy Page’s guitar loses a part. Plant offers a hilarious introduction, saying it is “Something people in China will never see. Something people in Russia and Korea will never see. A man who joined us two weeks after we started, and takes twice our money.” Jones plays the opening riff on bass guitar. The show ends with the longest version of “Whole Lotta Love” on the tour. Jones and Bonham get into “The Crunge” during the theramin solo, but Page and Plant ignore them. Plant gets into “Honey Bee” before “Boogie Chillun’” and they all get into a great version of “Going Down.” A firecracker goes off when they return for the encore angering Plant. ”We can be louder that those silly fire crackers, can’t we? Whoever threw that firecracker deserves to be jerked off by an elephant. The show closes with “The Ocean.” While not on par with the best performances of the tour, it is highly enjoyable as it reaches the end and is recommended for the rarities John Paul Jones brings to the performance        Related Torrents
