1969. Man lands on the moon. Half a million strong at Woodstock. Sesame Street makes its debut…. and Led Zeppelin perform in the gym of the Wheaton Youth Center on Georgia Avenue in front of 50 confused teenagers. Or did they? Filmmaker Jeff Krulik offers a preview screening of his take on an enduring local legend, on the very night this concert was alleged to have taken place, January 20, 1969, during the first Presidential Inauguration of Richard Nixon.
Featuring interviews with rock writers, musicians, and fans, and several who claim they were there witnessing history that night. Plus, a look at one of the most amazing collections of Led Zeppelin memorabilia ever.
Jeff Krulik presents
January 20, 1969—were you there?
Thank you everyone who came to the preview screening of LED ZEPPELIN PLAYED HERE on 1/20/13 at AFI Silver Theater. Much much appreciated. More screenings in the works.
“Zeppelin-in-Wheaton is Washington’s ownrock-and-roll Loch Ness Monster. Could it possibly be real?
Yes. No way. Depends whom you ask.”
