This day in music history.

January 6, 1975, One thousand Led Zeppelin fans waiting overnight for tickets to the group's February 4th concert, trash the lobby of the Boston Garden. They cause $30,000 damage breaking seats and doors. There are many arrests for drugs and for being drunk in public. Boston Mayor Kevin White says "If these nuts act like this for the ticket sales, imagine what the concert would be like" he promptly cancels the show.
The Ocean by Led Zeppelin
Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Ain't no time to pack my bag,
my foots outside the door
Got a date, I can't be late,
for the high hopes hailla ball.
Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more,
more!
Singing about good things
and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains,
has the ocean lost it's way.
Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains
but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start
