It was amazing. Just before my 17th bday! You have to remember. 1973, NOTHING to go by but the latest album, Houses Of The Holy, and what we read in rock tabloids. It was an event back then.
Most of all was the atmosphere inside MSG. The dry ice fog effect. Plants vocals echoing thru the hall. Bonzo's gong in a ring of fire for the finale. Good times!
Still watch it when it comes on VH1, can't help myself, seen it dozens of times but some of it especially the more jam sections are just so great, still holds up after 40 years...
