Vintage Footage From 1970 Led Zeppelin Show Surfaces Online
Led Zeppelin fans are losing their minds over a newly-surfaced clip of a 1970 show at Madison Square Garden.
The video was uploaded Wednesday by YouTube user ‘ikhnaton’. It features roughly 3 minutes of chopped-up footage of the band playing “Immigrant Song” and “Heartbreaker”.
While the quality is low, it’s still an amazing glimpse of Zeppelin in their heyday. The band’s website says the Sept. 19th show is “widely considered one of their best ever”.
One fan commented “It’s amazing to me how just under 3 minutes of fragmented Zeppelin footage is still better than any other band on the planet”.

Here’s What Fans Get With KISS Pre-Show Experience
A fan has uploaded a video taken during a KISS “Pre-Show Performance and Q-and-A Experience,” for which the band charges $270 per ticket. And that doesn’t include admission to the actual concert.
The clip shows Gene Simmons – who looks like he just climbed out of bed, wearing a robe and no makeup — performing a few songs and answering fans’ questions before a show in Hartford, Connecticut.
The pre-show performances are part of KISS’ “End of the Road” farewell tour, which launched in 2019 and is scheduled to wrap up sometime next year.
Does the pre-show experience sound like it’s worth $270?

That Time Bob Dylan Slept in Neil Young’s Hearse
Two things to point out for this story: 1) Neil Young owned a hearse and 2) Bob Dylan once took a nap in that hearse.
Young actually bought the 1948 hearse to drive to shows and could fit six people in the car he named “Mort.”
According to the book, “Shakey: Neil Young’s Biography,” Bob Dylan once thought “Mort” looked cozy enough to help out with a nap.
The thing is, “Mort” was about to be driven by artist Sandy Mazzeo, who heard loud bangs in the car and thought there was a ghost.
“Dylan was in his turban stage, and he’d slept in his turban and it had come all undone,” he explained. “He looked like the mummy.”

Vince Neil Lands Bizarre Gig In TV Commercial For Loan Service
Apparently, Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil has been keeping himself busy while waiting for his band’s tour with Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett to get underway next month.
The singer has turned up in a TV commercial for the Dollar Loan Center, a short-term lender with more than 50 locations in Nevada and Utah.
While the company’s CEO, Chuck Brennan, is a former music industry exec and a self-described rock music fan, the commercial isn’t centered on Neil or music in any way; the Motley Crue vocalist only turns up toward the end of the spot, driving a Zamboni.
So far, neither Neil nor Brennan has explained why the rock icon was chosen to appear as a Zamboni driver in the TV ad.
Will Neil’s appearance in the commercial help attract customers to the Dollar Loan Center?
