The band was mostly an unknown quantity, with their cause not helped by the concert being erroneously advertised for 'Len Zefflin'.[1] This bootleg features much between-song banter from lead singer Robert Plant]]. Spokane was experiencing a severe cold snap that week, with temperatures dropping to -5 °C, when the band arrived. Apparently, the Kennedy Pavilion (Gonzaga's basketball gym) wasn't well-heated either, because Plant quipped to the quiet audience that 'You won't believe this, but I don't think that either ourselves or our equipment is quite used to the temperature. It's taken about three hours of gas stoves under the equipment to get everything going.'[2] Gradually the audience responds to the band, with a warm ovation.
