Teen-Clubs, Box 45, Egegaard Skole. Ticketprice 5-7 DKR. Show at 19:30 (* Support: Fourways, Bodies). Early show - second performance takes place later this evening at the Brondby Pop Club.

Jimmy Page: "They don't cheer too madly there, you know? We were really scared, because we only had about fifteen hours to practice together. It was sort of an experimental concert to see if we were any good. I guess." (Dec. 1968 interview)

Peter Grant: "Oh, I remember everything about that first show in Copenhagen. I remember everything Jimmy Page had told me about the drummer, Bonzo. And the whole performance. It was so… exciting! Just to be part of it was fantastic. There was never a thought of, God, this is going to sell X amount of records. I thought it could be the best band ever."

On September 7th 2013, marking the 45th anniversary of Led Zeppelin's first gig, a commemorative plaque was unveiled at the school in Gladsaxe where it all began.

Review: In Teen Club Nyt (Gladsaxe Teen Club's monthly members' magazine) in October 1968, Bent Larsen (who was the magazine's normal reviewer) gave this rave review of the new Yardbirds first concert: "The English group YARDBIRDS had been rehearsing their new set most of the afternoon. So when they entered the scene they were really hot to get started and give it all. Their performance and their music were absolutely flawless, and the music continued to ring nicely in the ears for some time after the curtains were drawn after their show. Let me in particular give my praise to JIMMY PAGE who has made a great job with the 3 new men. They really succeeded and in particular the guitar solo by Jimmy Page created huge applause. We can therefore conclude that the new YARDBIRDS are at least as good as the old ones were." [teenclubs.dk]
