Led Zeppelin - 1975-03-11 - Long Beach, CA (SBD)

1975: Believe it of not, when Led Zeppelin launched its 1975 North American concert tour on January 18th of that year, it marked the 10th time the band had toured on that continent! It was the first time they had played live in over 18 months, and the fact they were rusty was evident in some of the early shows on the tour. The band also was in the process of incorporating new material into their set list from their soon to be released Physical Graffitti album. Five songs from the album, Sick Again, In My Time of Dying, Kashmir, Trampled Under Foot and The Wanton Song, all found their way into the set list at some point during the tour, though by the end of the run only the first 4 were still being played. When the double album was finally released in February, it would go on to sell 8 million copies and hit number 1 on both the US and UK charts. Physical Graffitti’s impact was so great that every previous Led Zep disc climbed back into the Billboard top 200 soon after it was released. Rolling Stone ranked the album at #70 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time while The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included the disc in its The Definitive 200: Top 200 Albums of All-Time. By the time the band reached Long Beach on March 11, 1975, 42 years ago today, all the rust was gone and the new songs were being played with the same power and precision as the band displayed on its earlier material. Download this soundboard recording to hear Led Zep introduce Phyiscal Graffitti to the world. When you listen, pay close attention to Plant’s comments about The Song Remains the Same. He dedicates the tune to all the of the tapers in the crowd, announcing "For the benefit of anyone who was making a bootleg then - the 12-string was out of tune!"
