Led Zeppelin played in Baton Rouge.....
Actually, twice. Cities such as Baton Rouge and Jackson used to land such concerts. Oh well.
You're welcome.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

No doubt about it, they had a much better airplane than ole Lynyrd.

During my time at LSU, there were so many great concerts at "The Pete". Springsteen, The Stones, The Who, Zeppelin, Elton John, Neil Young, Rod Stewart, etc.
Thanks, Kingfish! But remember in 1977 Zeppelin had 44 shows on their tour. Bands just don't play as much live today as they did back then. Thank you, internet.
Baton Rouge also attracted the Who to play there in 1975. The country was just more fun back then.
Yeah, and back in the day the major airlines had frequent routes to cities like Jackson. Now, they don't land a crop duster in Baton Rouge. It's simple economics, go to the big hub cities, pack the big venues they'll still come from the outlying villages. Less work, more money.
Several weeks prior this show, Pink Floyd played there on the Animals Tour.
Unfortunately, neither video nor film exists of it, but a decent bootleg has been in circulation for a long time.

On July 14th, The Stones will perform at the Superdome. I bought two tickets to see the concert and they cost about $800 total. They are definitely Rolling Stones, Inc. I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it.
I saw The Stones while living in Nashville for $40 in $400 seats as a part of their Lucky Dip promo. Definetly RS Inc. as they make the shirts and sell them for $60. It was a great show, Joe Walsh even showed up.
Nice Find!
I too will be at the Stones show in Nola.
STONES TICKETS STARTED AT $99/each in NOLA, VS. $800/each in Calif. Got two (2) tickets to Stones' Superdome show on 7/14/19 3 weeks ago @ $130/each w/ fees and taxes.
Past concerts attended in Mississippi in the 1970s: at Millsaps [Ten Years After; Argent; etc.] at Miss. Coliseum [Stephen Stills; Joe Cocker; Yes]; at USM [Delaney & Bonnie (and Eric Clapton, Leon Russell, Bobbie Whitlock, Jim Horn and others from Mad Dogs & Englishmen Tour); James Gang w/ Joe Walsh; AND at the old, upstairs, WAGON WHEEL (S of Capitol St., Jxn) where Johnny Winters; Edgar Winters; Leon Russell; Alabama State Troupers (w/ Elmo Peeler of Attala County and parts of Wet Willie) played and hardly anyone knew.
The BEST Past 1970s concerts were at The Warehouse, NOLA: Small Faces (Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Steve Marriott, etc.); The Who; Grateful Dead w/ Jeff. Airplane; Bob Dylan; Lil Feat, Poco Harum; Foghat; Iron Buttefly; Rhinocerous; Bob Marley; Toots & the Maytells; the Doors; and of course, every Allman Bros. concert that usually lasted 4-5 hrs. Tickets then averaged $5, yes, $5!
The Best other upcoming concerts are in Mobile and Montgomery [Hogfest, Aug. 17, 2019].
I saw them a couple of times live in the 70's, IMO not a great live band. That time was great for fans of live music, both Jackson and Hattiesburg hosted a lot of great bands, and NOLA and Mobile were close enough to see some bigger tours.
