...that the greatest band ever played Knebworth
the largest stage ever constructed, 570 loo seats, 750 feet of urinals and the biggest rock band in the world. Led Zeppelin played their last ever concerts at Knebworth, and it was the end of an era for the Knebworth shows. Both concerts overran, noise complaints were received from 7 miles away. The rubbish team struggled to cope with clearing the arena between the shows. The Police believed that 200,000 people had turned up each night, Sainsburys lost 150 trolleys and Tesco's 75% of their stock, and Lord Cobbold ended up in Court

Fucking hell! End of an era I suppose, I wish I could have the chance to see them back in the day!
Weren't they going to do a tour recently? Or did Robert Plant not want to do it or something?

I was never a big Zep fan, but I did go and see Page live not long after Zep split.

Achilles Last Stand from that Knebworth performance on the DVD is a phenomenal record of rock and roll in its truest form. Unbelievable stuff indeed.
