Led Zeppelin Live Performance of Stairway To Heaven at Kingdome Seattle
In the summer of 1977, Led Zeppelin performed a monumental concert at Seattle's Kingdome, during a period when the band's powerhouse presence was undeniable. This particular concert took place just after the release of their album "Presence," which hit the shelves in March of the same year. "Presence," while not as commercially celebrated as some of their earlier work, showcased a raw energy and intensity that would resonate in their live performances, especially in tracks like "Achilles' Last Stand." The concert witnessed a staggering 62,000 fans, a testament to their gigantic following. Though the group was in a transitional phase—dealing with personal challenges and the pressures of fame—the Seattle show reflected their ability to connect with audiences, lighting up the night with classic tracks. It's fascinating to think about that energy, right? Each note played felt like it belonged to a different time, yet, at the same moment, it was very much alive.
