RIP Led Zeppelin
Best. Band. Ever.
On This Date, July 7th in 1980: Led Zeppelin performed their last concert with their original lineup at the Eissporthalle in West Berlin, Germany. Coincidentally, twelve years earlier on his very date, Jimmy Page’s former band, The Yardbirds, broke up, which paved the way for Page to form Zeppelin. I am going to load some Led Zeppelin tunes onto my iPod right now! Led Zeppelin!
Happy Birthday, Jeff Beck!
Legendary rock guitarist Jeff Beck was born on this day, June 24th in 1944! Fave Jeff Beck Song: “Beck’s Bolero.”
