BP Fallon, the band's effusive press officer, recalls the impact Led Zeppelin had the moment they arrived in a city on the Starship. Band and entourage were ushered into a fleet of limousines before speeding through the streets with a police escort, sirens wailing towards a stadium where 50,000 people awaited in feverish anticipation. "The Stones sang about sex," he says. "The music of Led Zeppelin was sex. The audience knew that, the girls dug it and the guys too. This wasn't a knitting lesson. And remember too, you can do a lot during a wild drum solo — especially if you're not the drummer."
