The Zep show was a part of a fairly big bill including Muddy Waters and, interestingly, Larry Coryell among others as I recall.
The NYD show for the Band of Gypsy's was the one immortalized on the record. I lived out in Rockaway and remember being on the subway going back home at midnight (went to the early show). I went to HS in Brooklyn on the same subway line that went into lower Manhattan (Astor Place), so I used to go in and buy tickets as soon as they were available - saw a lot of great shows there. Remember the great triple bills?!
You mentioned the Allmans - a week before the Hendrix show I had tickets for Blood, Sweat, and Tears headlining. Second act was Appaloosa, fairly popular back then. But the first band was a (then) little known band from Georgia - yes, the Allman Brothers Blues Band - they basically destroyed the place before the other two bands had a chance!
Cheers, mate!
