Music's believe it or not !

Here's another one:

I read in a book many years ago (but can't find any verification on the net) that Led Zeppelin once auditioned as support band for a tour by UK Rock & Roll revivalists Showaddywaddy, and failed the audition !!

This would have been in the mid-'70s when Zeppelin were filling stadiums (stadia ?!) around the world.

Showaddywaddy:

I find this very credible. Haven't heard the pretty costumed lads but looks like a showband, one with precise arrangements (no adventuresomeness allowed). No way would LZ passed that test. The Zepp playing it straight for a pre-defined set?--they couldn't do it from behind a screen. What a great show that would have been though! Pay big dough for that one.
