usually on the road their live shows
were the stuff of legend due to their
length and the level of experimentation
the band put into their performances
their offstage behavior became legendary
as well with rumors spreading of such

the hugely successful double album
Physical Graffiti led to an equally
successful North American tour including
five sold-out dates at London’s Earls
Court Arena the 1976 album presents was
released just months after the band was
forced to cancel a world tour due to a
serious car accident involving Robert
Plant the tracks on that album were
guitar driven and although Led Zeppelin
was at the height of their popularity at
this time the record did not sell as
well as the previous efforts
that same year Led Zeppelin released the
concert movie the song remains the same
with footage captured from the 1973
Madison Square Garden shows their July
1977 Oakland show would be Led
Zeppelin’s last US appearance as the
rest of the tour was canceled due to the
death of plants son though critical
reaction for 1979 s in through the out

bottom son Jason at a 2007 tribute
concert for the late founder and
president of Atlantic Records
however the trio never managed to find
any subsequent projects that they felt
did Led Zeppelin justice
time and time again Led Zeppelin has
been named one of music’s most
