6. No they caught a mud shark outside a hotel window in Seattle

The gimmick at this hotel was that you could drop a fishing line out your hotel room. One of the band members caught a mud shark and gave it to one of the hang around bands. They then found a groupie that was up for anything and they beat her with it.

7. come on, you're no fun. I wanted to see where this story went without the facts being mentioned

did you read "Hammer of the gods"? Great Led Zep book

[CatWoman]

8. that's why I posted this thread

to get the facts.

12. Reading it now.

And I read about the shark incident a little while ago during lunch.

9. I heard that as they were beating her, the shark came back to life and attacked the girl

And I got this from a guy whose brother had a friend who actually worked at that motel the year after this happened and he totally swears that the shark incident is totally true and the shark actually ate her leg off and the band was all stoned and stuff and started saying she was totally now like a real mermaid, only with one leg instead of a fish tail and then she sued them for like a million dollars. Totally.

10. It was NOT Led Zeppelin although there were members of the band in the room

It was a member of Led Zeppelin's entourage, RIchard Cole and a few members from the band Vanilla Fudge.

But since Vanilla Fudge hardly has the name recognition of Led Zeppelin AND who the hell is RIchard Cole - it's better to just say Led Zeppelin band members was responsible.

I think Bonzo may have been in the room and was the one of the people who were catching the mudsharks. The quirky feature of the Edgewater is that you can go fishing off the balcony of your hotel room.

FZ: That's right, you heard right, the Secret Word for tonight is Mud Shark! And of course with the Mud Shark Secret Word is the Mud Shark Arpeggio . . . a marvellous little arpeggio, and now the mating call of the adult male Mud Shark . . .

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: THE MUD SHARK DANCING LESSON!

Mud Sh-sh-shark

Mark: Wait a minute . . . we're gonna do a little dancing . . . a little dancing thing called the Mud Shark . . . Now, this dance started up in Seattle
Howard: Yes . . .
Mark: The story . . .
FZ: Lemme tell you the story 'bout the Mud Shark . . .

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: Bring the band on down behind me, boys . . .
Howard: Say! Good God! Ain't it funky! Say!
FZ: The origins of the Mud Shark are as follows . . .

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: There's a motel in Seattle, Washington, called the Edgewater Inn . . . The Edgewater Inn is built out on a pier . . . so that means that when you look out your window you don't see any dirt, it's . . . got a bay or something out in your backyard . . .

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: And to make it even more interesting, in the lobby of the aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle shop where the residents can go down and, whenever they want to, rent a fishing pole and some preserved minnows and schlep back up to their rooms, open the window, stick their little pole outside and within a few minutes actually catch a fish of some sort that they can bring into their motel room and do whatever they want with it, you know what I mean?

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: Now in this bay there's quite a variety of . . . fish!

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: Not only do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopusses that you can catch

Fish!
Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: And all of these denizens of the deep can come in real handy . . .

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: Let's say you were a travelling Rock and Roll band called The Vanilla Fudge . . . let's say one night you checked into the Edgewater Inn with an 8mm movie camera . . .

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: Enough money to rent a pole, and just to make it more interesting . . .

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: A succulent young lady!
Howard: Nooo!
FZ: With a taste for the bizarre . . .

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: My mind drifts back . . . to a meeting, a chance meeting in the Chicago O'Hare Airport . . .

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: Where the members of The Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston about a home movie they made at the Edgewater Inn . . . with a mud shark!

Mud Sh-sh-shark

FZ: And I'm gonna tell you, this dance, the Mud Shark, is sweeping the ocean!
