I had some options for today’s “on this day” post. The first Gilman show I ever video taped (RKL) was today in 1988, using a borrowed camera. Thanks to Barry Ward, I now have a 2nd angle of that show and a soundboard tape that may not be salvageable. Hopefully I can put those all together one day, but that is a multi-day project.
I decided on this. I videotaped DZ at Sac State in 1990 and posted it on YT years ago. I recently saw a huge uptick of views and comments and wondered what the hell was going on. Turns out there is a new Dread Zeppelin documentary called “A Song of Hope” that is bringing new fans out. That’s cool.
A bunch of folks sent hate mail/hate comments because I called them a gimmick band. Sorry, but I usually enjoy bands like this for a short while and then I am done with them. Same with GWAR- it’s on me, not you. It’s fun and funny for a bit then it wears thin. They are a great, talented and super entertaining band.
