Plaque to Commemorate First Show Almost Done

A crowd funding campaign to raise the money to put a commemorative plaque on the wall of the school where Led zeppelin's first concert took place is almost done.

The campaign by photographer Jorgen Angel to put a plaque at the site of the Gladsaxe Teen Club near Copenhagen began in June. We can report that as of tonight, the campaign had raised all but $50 of $1750 needed to have this important spot in music history commemorated (The Borough of Gladsaxe has given a $1,200 grant. The total for the plaque will be $2,950).

The plague will be unveiled September 7th, on the 45th anniversary of the show.

Donations can be made via LedZeppelin1968.com.

Update: As of this morning, Wed. Aug 7, he funding campaign has successfully met it's goal. Congratulations to Jorgen Angel and the team who raised the funds.
