Led Zeppelin Performs Immigrant Song Live in Sydney, Australia - 1972

Venue: Sydney Showground Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Date: February 27, 1972

In February 1972, when Led Zeppelin performed the iconic "Immigrant Song" in Sydney, they were riding high on the success of their fourth studio album, aptly titled "Led Zeppelin IV," which had been released just a few months prior in November 1971. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, featuring classic tracks like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Black Dog," solidifying their status as rock legends. The live recording captures the band at a crucial juncture, showcasing their electrifying presence and musical versatility, which thrived during this unique Australasian tour—their only venture in Australia and New Zealand. Fun fact: during this tour, guitarist Jimmy Page famously played a double-neck guitar, which became a signature part of their live performances, adding to the visual spectacle of their concerts. The energy that night in Sydney surely resonated through the crowd and became a cherished memory for those lucky enough to be there.
