I think I have seen Robert Plant and Jimmy Page play together post- Led Zeppelin a couple of times but I believe this concert in October, 1995 at Madison Square Garden was the show where Mr. Nut, AKA Mr. Vegas, and I made our way to the right side of the MSG stage to get a better view of the rock gods up close and personal. We were standing on the first level near the end of the night’s performance where there was a rather large gap between the seated area and the stage that was situated a nice drop down below us. At some point, out of nowhere, a young man leaped from the seated area to the right of us toward a rope hanging about halfway out. As if in slow motion, this guy flew through the air in an apparent attempt to make it backstage, grasped for the thick brown rope, missed, and did a free fall down below us. In retrospect, for him, this was likely not a wise course of action because at that height there was no doubt he had to have gotten pretty banged up upon landing on the concrete floor below. The band, completely unaware of the flying burrito brother’s failed attempt to meet his heroes, played on and completed the concert uninterrupted.
Oh yeah, it was a great show……..

Rock and Roll!

Ramble On!
