How Many More Times pt 2

January 26, 1969 Boston, MA US Boston Tea Party Set One Includes: Train Kept A Rollin', I Can't Quit You Baby, Killing Floor, Dazed And Confused (incl. Shapes Of Things), You Shook Me, Communication Breakdown. Set Two Includes: White Summer / Black Mountainside, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Pat's Delight, How Many More Times (incl. For Your Love, Over Under Sideways Down). The Tea Party held about a thousand people. It was a place where lots of hippie bands played during the 60s. They had a mirror ball and strobes and those oil and colored-water projectors, first created by the Joshua Light Show, making trippy liquid designs on the wall next to the stage. The place itself used to be a synagogue, a big rectangular room with the stage at the end, huge high ceiling, no seats except a few folding chairs along the side and the bolted down seats in the balcony. It was like a hippie high school auditorium. On other nights I saw The J. Geils Band there, Jethro Tull, Sons of Champlain and some more obscure bands I cant recall at the moment. But the Led Zep show was a big thing. The first album was out and Communication Breakdown was an FM Radio hit. The music was so different than what wed been hearing, so new and hard and driving, crunching guitars, pounding drums, high, screaming vocals. Theres wasnt even a name for it back then, but soon it would come to be known as the future institution, hard rock. The record had only come out in stores the week before, nobody knew anything ...
