Led Zeppelin/New Barbarians/Todd Rundgren: Knebworth, Hertfordshire
Nick Kent, NME, 18 August 1979
WELL, THAT'S OVER. No more Led Zeppelin front covers for a good while; no more wondering whether Mick would appear with the New Barbarians; no more cosy little outings to watch "superstars" slag the press to the total apathy of both the victims and the mass of horizontal punters in the sunny pastures of Knebworth.
