Led Zeppelin full of dread...

The Grateful Dead met Led Zeppelin once – in January 1969, Zeppelin were playing at the Fillmore West, and they went to Herb Greene's photo studio in San Francisco for a photo session. The Dead were visiting the studio at the same time for their own session. Pigpen had a pistol, which he started firing at the ceiling.
Tom Constanten wrote in his book, “Pigpen made Led Zeppelin awfully nervous with his six-shooter once at a photo session, drawing a bead on weather vanes and cupolas visible from Herb Greene’s San Francisco loft. Didn’t hit anything, but he looked so mean…it had to crack you up if you knew him.” Weir explained, “He was just ****in’ around. He wasn’t trying to get on anyone’s nerves, he wasn’t trying to scare anybody.” Nonetheless, Led Zeppelin fled the studio - as Weir said, they left so fast, “we didn't even see them leave. 'Hey, what happened to those guys?'” [McNally 285]

Led Zeppelin is my favorite hard rock band and they played a ginormous part in my teen years but LOL Pig had them shittin' pickles

I gave my dad CD copies of "American Beauty" and "Workingman's Dead" for Christmas. I think he's hooked...he was already asking me about the lyrics to "Ripple."

He was asking more about the meanings behind them. I pointed him at the Annotated "Ripple" page.
