Press Review excerpts: "Top-billed for Friday-night, LZ earned it and were the class of the festival. Lead vocalist, Robert Plant and lead guitarist Jimmy Page astounded the audience all night, accompanied by John Paul Jones on bass and John Bonham, drums. Plant belts out and purrs his songs like Janis Joplin, while former Yardbird Page was making it awfully difficult for Blind Faith’s Eric Clapton or Jeff Beck Group’s (Jeff Beck), top billed Saturday and Sunday, respectively, to top him. Both are ex-Yardbirds, too. Both have been called ‘the best’. Anyway, Clapton didn’t and Beck never played. [M.D. / 1969]"

"Pacific Gas and Electric" set the mood for the evening's crowning glory - Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page raced into Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"(I Can't Quit You) and then into a dazzling "Dazed and Confused". The final number was a twenty minute "How Many More Times" and the ensuing tumultous ovation to "Communication Breakdown". It was beyond belief. Friday worked like a fine watch.
