OFFBEAT Magazine talks about Led Zeppelin Visiting the Streets of New Orleans in 1970's

The ever-popular and widely read OFFBEAT Magazine focuses on the New Orleans music scene, the regions culture and its unique cuisine. But when Led Zeppelin blew into town in the early 1970's for a sold-out concert and a private party held at the legendary Cosmos Recording Studio, the Atlantic Records Regional Promotional Manager Phillip Rauls, who was on tour with the band, was asked to describe the landscape at the time. But only described in words that can be printed in a respectable public magazine. Don't miss this classic story with historical rock music significance! Story by Randy Savoie.
