Led Zeppelin

On December 30, 1968, Led Zeppelin performed at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Pavilion in Spokane, Washington, delivering what would become one of their earliest live recordings—"How Many More Times." Just a few months prior, they released their self-titled debut album, which showcased their raw energy and blues-influenced rock sound. This album laid the groundwork for their meteoric rise and was already catching the attention of critics and fans alike. It’s fascinating that in the midst of their first tour, they pulled off this performance almost like a musical experiment, blending powerful riffs with improvisational flair. Notably, the song "How Many More Times" features a captivating medley that includes The Hunter, highlighting their knack for combining genres and inventiveness—a hallmark that would come to define their legacy. This Spokane show marked not just a moment in time, but the beginning of a revolution in rock music.
