Led Zeppelin: Long Beach Arena, Los Angeles CA

LED ZEPPELIN'S long awaited North American tour could have waited a while longer – about ten years or so. After reports had filed in to Los Angeles from around the country that the Zepp had been packing them in everywhere, one was ready for a real musical treat. But the group's performance in Los Angeles (Forum) and Long Beach (Arena) came about as close to living up to these glowing reports as the Beatles do to reforming.
