Heart’s Ann And Nancy Wilson Left A Led Zeppelin Show Because Robert Plant Was Too Suggestive

During an appearance on Premier Guitar’s 100 Guitarists podcast focused on Jimmy Page, Heart’s Nancy Wilson recalled the time that she and her sister Ann walked out of a Led Zeppelin show due to frontman Robert Plant‘s sexually suggestive look and lyrics. The early Zeppelin show in question took place at the Green Lake Aqua Theater in Seattle, Washington in May of 1969, with Wilson describing Plant’s untamed appearance and risqué lyrics that shocked the teenage sisters. “The singer, he’s so suggestive,” Wilson remembers. “He’s got his shirt wide open, he’s got his bare chest and his jeans were really low riders and he was moving in this way that was so super-suggestive and we were kind of shocked.” The breaking point came when they played the Led Zeppelin II standout, “The Lemon Song.” “Then, he sang about like ‘Squeeze My Lemon’ and we’re like, ‘Oh, we must leave the premises’ because we were just shocked,” Wilson recalls. “We were scandalised, and we walked away.” (Louder Sound)
