By: Maura O'Malley
On May 17, 1975, Led Zeppelin played the first of a five-night residency at Earls Court in London.
The band’s website boasts that Zeppelin played non-stop for 240 minutes at the venue. To put that into perspective, The Rolling Stones’ Earls Court sets maxed out at 50 minutes. In shows that were described as “colorful” and “psychedelic,” Zeppelin performed legendary songs for crowds of around 17,000 fans per show—catch the track list below.
