Interesting.
Seven months earlier Zep opened for The Who, in their one and only
pairing. According to the review in the paper The Who stole the show.
I can't see Roger (Pete yes) being threatened by anybody or suffering
from low self-esteem. Besides if there was a group/person that The Who
felt threatened by I believe it was James Marshall Hendrix not Led
Zeppelin. Have ever noticed how often Hendrix's name comes up in
interviews with the Who? I mean Pete on the Late Night show this
month, when asked whom he remembered being impressd with to the point
of saying I wish I would/could have done that, answered Jimi Hendrix.
