On this day in history, December 30, 1968, Led Zeppelin is recorded live for first time at Gonzaga University

Led Zeppelin, one of the most celebrated and influential bands in rock ‘n’ roll history, was recorded live before a dazed and confused audience for the first time on this day in history, Dec. 30, 1968. 

“The show took place at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, and saw them opening for Vanilla Fudge,” writes Canadian entertainment site Exclaim!

“Led Zep were so unknown at the time that ads for the gig billed them as ‘Len Zefflin.'”

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, DECEMBER 29, 1845, TEXAS JOINS UNION AS 28TH STATE AFTER WINNING INDEPENDENCE FROM MEXICO

The communication breakdown was brief. The mighty Zeppelin soon made a name for itself with a haunting, powerful sound that still thrills listeners today. 

Led Zeppelin blended American delta blues, English folk mysticism and intense individual musicianship to create a big, brash new style of rock ‘n’ roll that flouted pop-rock convention. It captivated fans with its blunt power and hallucinatory aura.

A bootleg version of the first show displaying Zeppelin’s power and aura has circulated for decades.

“There is nothing raw or un-Led Zeppelin-like about the sound captured by an unknown Gonzaga student on a small, portable tape recorder that day,” says History.com. 

“The ‘Gonzaga ’68 bootleg features the band performing tight and thrilling versions of some songs that are now considered classics but were then unknown to those in attendance.”

The power quartet exploded onto the global music scene two weeks later with the release of its debut album and rock epic, “Led Zeppelin I,” on Jan. 12, 1969. 

FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE, CHARITY SPONSORS ‘BUCKET LIST’ TRIP TO NYC FOR VETERANS AND MILITARY FAMILIES

The Gonzaga gig included a live version of “Dazed and Confused,” a blues-rock fireball of a tortured lover’s lament that appeared on the first studio album and remains one of the band’s signature tracks more half a century later. 

“Dreamy, morbid, glowing with whooshing flocks of baby vultures produced by bowing the E string of the guitar, ‘Dazed and Confused’ was the album’s tour de force,” author Stephen Davis wrote in his bloated 1985 Led Zeppelin tabloid-ography “Hammer of the Gods.” 

“A generation of fans,” he added, “would grow up wondering what Robert [Plant] was jabbering, submerged under the wah-wah, before Zep drops the bomb one more time.”

Within two years of their gig at Gonzaga, “Len Zefflin” had released a trio of mega-hit albums and emerged in the post-Beatles 1970s as the biggest band in the world and one of the premier live acts in music history.

The British foursome, drummer John Bonham, bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones, guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Plant had formed a group earlier in 1968 known as the New Yardbirds. 

MEET THE AMERICAN WHO INVENTED THE ELECTRIC GUITAR AND INSPIRED ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

Page was already a rock star as a member of the original Yardbirds, a groundbreaking U.K. band that included among its members Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. 

The group is best known for its 1965 British Invasion hit, “For Your Love.”

Page’s New Yardbirds performed under that short-lived name in Europe in the autumn of 1968. 

The Gonzaga show was one of its first as Led Zeppelin. 

Their studio recordings soon made the band a hugely influential sensation all over the world. 

Led Zeppelin’s first album featured nine tracks, including four that were longer than six minutes — unheard of at the time.

It was recorded, incredibly, in just 30 hours of studio time and with minimal production, according to author Davis, just weeks before the show in Washington.

Band manager Peter Grant “would claim it cost only £1,750 to produce, including the artwork depicting the catastrophic 1937 death of the ocean-going Nazi zeppelin Hindenburg,” Davis wrote. 

The album cost just $17,500 in 2022 U.S. dollars, yet has sold about 10 million copies.

The foursome cemented its status as the biggest band in the world with the 1971 release of its fourth album, “Led Zeppelin IV.”

It features high-octane power tracks such as “Black Dog,” “Rock and Roll” and “When the Levee Breaks.”

Its signature anthem, “Stairway to Heaven,” is proclaimed in many circles as the greatest song of the rock era.

The Recording Industry Association of America lists “Led Zeppelin IV” as one of the five most popular albums in world history, with more than 30 million in certified copies sold. 

Led Zeppelin released eight studio albums and one live album before disbanding following the death of drummer Bonham in 1980, with several more releases since then. 

With estimates of over 200 million albums sold, they are one of the most popular bands of all time, forging their legend with powerful live performances. 

“During their decade-long prime in the 1970s, Led Zeppelin was the biggest band in the world, representing the booming record business at its peak as its biggest act,” Davis wrote.

“There was something magical, unnatural about Zeppelin’s rise to power.”

On this day in history, December 28, 1958, Colts beat Giants for NFL title in 'greatest game ever played'

The Baltimore Colts stunned the New York Giants 23-17 in “sudden death” at the NFL championship game at Yankee Stadium before a mesmerized nationwide television audience on this day in history, Dec. 28, 1958. 

The event has gone down in American sports lore as “the greatest game ever played.”

The dramatic title tilt helped popularize pro football at a time when it ranked behind baseball and college football — even boxing and horse racing — in the national sporting consciousness. 

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, DECEMBER 27, 1932, RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL OPENS AMID GREAT FANFARE IN NEW YORK CITY

“The game captured the collective attention of the nation and as a result, pro football exploded across the country in the following years,” writes the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 

“By the mid-1960s, professional football became the nation’s favorite sport to watch and has remained on top ever since.”

The nationally televised spectacle was highlighted by two dramatic late scoring drives engineered by an unheralded 25-year-old Colts quarterback named Johnny Unitas. 

The sports thriller capped a long Christmas weekend for millions of Americans who were tuning into pro football for the first time. 

They witnessed the first overtime game in pro football history; one of the first NFL games broadcast nationally; and an incredible galaxy of football legends on the field and on the sidelines. 

Among them: New York Giants stars Frank Gifford, Sam Huff and Pat Summerall; and Colts icons Raymond Berry, Art Donovan and Lenny Moore.

A total of 17 future Hall of Famers participated in the game as players, coaches or executives.

The Giants coaching staff included assistants Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi

No star shined brighter than that of Unitas, who emerged from the game an American legend.

A sandlot gunslinger playing for $7 a week just three years earlier, he marched the Colts from their own 14-yard line in the final two minutes to set up a game-tying 20-yard field goal with seven seconds left to play in regulation. 

“It was one of the most dramatic two minutes in the history of any sport,” former NFL executive, broadcaster and football historian Upton Bell told Fox News Digital. 

TIM TEBOW REVEALS HIS AFTER-CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE TO ALL, ‘EVEN IF IT FEELS SCARY’

“People in those days knew you couldn’t put together a scoring drive in two minutes.”

Bell’s father, the late Bert Bell, was the NFL commissioner at the time. 

The senior Bell had convinced team owners just a few years earlier to adopt a “sudden death” format in the event of a tie in the league championship game. 

In “sudden death,” the first team to score wins. 

Without it, the 1958 NFL championship game would have ended in a 17-17 tie. 

“I don’t think a lot of people realized historically at the time what sudden death meant,” said Bell, who was in the stands for the game.

“Many players on the field didn’t understand. People around me were ready to go home, thinking the game ended as a tie.”

MEET THE AMERICAN WHO WAS THE FIRST PAID PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER: PUDGE HEFFELFINGER

The Giants failed to score on the opening drive of overtime. 

Unitas then led the Colts 80 yards on 13 plays for the game-winning score.

An estimated 45 million Americans gathered around the television for the final minutes of unprecedented sports drama. 

They watched as Colts running back Alan “The Horse” Ameche crashed over the goal line from one yard out for the winning score. 

The massive viewership shattered all known television audiences for football that had come before. 

Mayhem ensued on the field, as a sense of witnessing history rushed over the 64,000 fans in attendance.

Unitas completed 26 of 40 passes for 349 yards — startling numbers in that era. His teammate Berry caught 12 passes for 178 yards. 

Berry’s 12 receptions stood as an NFL championship game/Super Bowl record for 55 years. 

The previously unknown sports term “sudden death” entered the American vernacular that day, said Bell. 

It’s still commonly used in all sports to describe a contest that ends on the next score by either team.

Commissioner Bell, a pro football pioneer, broke down and cried after the game, realizing he had witnessed a landmark moment for a league that often struggled to survive since its 1920 founding. 

The game benefited from low ambient lighting and the sharply different white jerseys of the Colts and dark blue jerseys of the Giants. 

It gave the game a stark, thrilling palette that popped on black-and-white television.

“Many of the viewers just beginning to tune in were not regular watchers of pro football and they were seeing something starkly different than the traditional college games played on sunny autumn afternoons,” author Mark Bowden wrote in his 2008 book, “The Best Game Ever: Giants vs. Colts, 1958, and the Birth of the Modern NFL.” 

He added, “This was more like mortal combat from some dark underworld. A master cinematographer could not have lit the scene more dramatically.” 

The massive interest in the game fueled the creation of the rival American Football League the following year. 

Eight AFL teams took the field for the first time in 1960. 

The two leagues merged in 1966 with the creation of the first AFL-NFL championship game, an event now known around the world as the Super Bowl. 

A behemoth of American sports culture, the Super Bowl was made possible by the drama of the 1958 NFL title game. 

A 2019 poll of dozens of football experts confirmed the status of the 1958 NFL championship contest as “the greatest game ever played.” 

The second greatest game on the list: the improbable 34-28 comeback win by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.

It was the only other NFL championship game that went into overtime.
