In July 1973, when Led Zeppelin graced the stage at the Seattle Center Coliseum, they were riding high on the success of their fifth studio album, *Houses of the Holy*, which had been released just a few months earlier in March. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing a blend of hard rock with more experimental vibes, featuring tracks like "Rainbow" and "The Ocean." Interestingly, during this period, the band was also becoming known for their larger-than-life live performances, filled with raw energy and intricate musicianship. The Seattle show was part of their ambitious North American tour, where they delighted fans not just with hits, but also with lengthy jams that would send chills down spines. Isn’t it fascinating how a live recording can capture a moment of pure rock history? Moments like these remind us why Led Zeppelin is still revered as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
