I remember the last Zeppelin tour I saw was in 77 I believe, those years are a little fuzzy. But I do remember the ticket price was $7.00 and the event was "An Evening with Led Zeppelin" no opening band, just 3 hours of Zeppelin at LSU. Saw them twice there in the mid 70's same venue, same format, just Zeppelin.

Regarding ZZ Top, I've seen them so many times I can't count. Between New Orleans and Dallas, probably 10-12 times over the years. I actually caught them with Skynyrd here in Dallas a few years ago. I was fortunate enough to see Skynyrd a few times before the plane crash too, damn I miss those guys.

The first time I saw ZZ Top in concert was back in later 74 or early 75 at the Warehouse in New Orleans. That show became Fandango live and the opening act was none other than Robin Trower. I think it was $4.00 to get in or a square yard or more of carpet to get in. Seriously, back then the Warehouse was a wild place, it was literally an empty warehouse downtown right off the river, EVERYONE WAS STONED. Some shows they'd let you in free is you brought some scrap carpet to sit on and left it. There were no chairs, just standing room pretty much, those were some weird times back then but damn some good music.
