Led Zeppelin: Steel Driven Led
Steven Rosen, Sounds, 23 June 1973
LED ZEPPELIN recently flew into town and within a matter of hours after the Forum box office opened, had sold close to 36,000 tickets for its two Inglewood performances. This is the Zep's tenth visit to the States in four-and-three quarter years, and if anything, their following (and subsequent popularity) has grown in exponential bounds.
