Press Review: The Rock show in Montreal: Led Zeppelin drives audience wild
MONTREAL -- The last of the loud British supergroups — Led Zeppelin — dropped its heavy metal rock on a packed house of 20,000 fans at the Forum here last night
In the only Canadian stop on their current record-breaking North American tour, the four-man group stomped and hammered its way through three hours of deafening rock, before a wildly enthusiastic audience.
Outside the arena, a police riot squad stood by ready to avoid a repeat performance of a riot which marked the visit of the Rolling Stones in the summer of 1972. However, there were no incidents.
Extra police were also assigned to curtail scalpers, some of whom claimed to be getting up to $50 for a single $7.50 ticket. Those who were lucky enough to have tickets heard a cross- section of the group's music over the past seven years, as well as new songs from an upcoming album, Physical Graffiti.
Guitarist Jimmy Page, dressed in black suit trimmed with silver sequins, played well despite the fact that he was suffering from a broken bone in the third finger of his left hand.
Vocalist Robert Plant bare chested and flopping his long, blond hair, was often overpowered by the sledgehammer drumming of John Bonham. John Paul Jones played well on the bass and keyboard.
Even, better than the music at times was the elaborate light show which turned the stage into a fantasy of revolving chrome spheres, and ever - changing color patterns on a veil backdrop.
The group flew in earlier yesterday from New York aboard a chartered $2 million Starship Jet, the same one used Elton John on his tour.
They returned to New York immediately afterwards, and they play there tonight. (A. Ferrante, Feb. 1975, Star)

Led Zeppelin in Montreal, Feb. 6, 1975
Well it was a very special show for me, I had been a Zep fan since I first heard Led Zeppelin II in 69! So we went to our seats and just had time to sit down... and there it was - Rock and Roll! With Robert's blond hair flying and Jimmy's awesome stage clothes and magical moves, the mighty Zep was in full-powered mode. Considering Jimmy had had a broken finger not too long before (or so I heard), it was really a special set and I very much enjoyed watching one of my heroes play (I am a guitar player). Robert did seem to have some difficulty with some high notes, but most of his singing was quite good throughout the evening. Highlights for me were Kashmir, No Quarter (one of the best tunes they ever wrote, and so spritual in its mood, John Paul is truly a gifted musician), Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love, and of course my favorite Led Zeppelin tune, Heartbreaker! I really enjoyed the long jams that Zeppelin are famed for - nice to have something unique to listen to every night!
All in all an unforgettable evening! Thanks for the undying memories, Led Zeppelin!
