    Ya, never got to see them. They were going to play in Chicago (I lived in Indy) and the only way to get tickets was to get a coupon from the Chicago tribune and mail it in. I got the paper from the Indy airport but it was not the "metro" edition so it did not have it. I found a airline pilot that was doing a round trip and gave him $20 for five papers to bring back. I went home put on the radio and started dancing until the DJ announced John Bonham had died (20 Sep 1980). I still have the papers with the full page ad.

    I have read this in several places and heard it discussed by musicians but this is the only place I could find a direct ref in the foot notes on short notice. The pitch may be right on but it was higher before it was slowed down. "Portions of the song were recorded at a different tempo, then slowed down, explaining the "sludgy" sound, particularly on the harmonica and guitar solos." en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki When the Levee Breaks - Wikipedia
