Ive read, got bored and wiki'd it. When did you go there for the gig? Was the floor still springy?

[freeringo]

I believe it was 1983 and I wasn't on the floor.
Robert Plant on Saturday Night Live?
I don't think so.

The concert I saw was the best concert of my life.
and I have seen a lot.

[eejit101]

And yes Plant was on SNL, so suck it!
