Led Zeppelin

Ah, Led Zeppelin—what a legendary band! By the time they played the Knebworth concert on August 4, 1979, they were riding high on their legacy, but also facing some turbulence within the group. Just before Knebworth, they released the album "Physical Graffiti" in 1975, which is often hailed as one of their best. It showcased their eclectic style and deepened their rock’n’roll arsenal with tracks like "Kashmir" and "Trampled Under Foot." The live performance at Knebworth marked one of their last major shows before their eventual breakup. As for “No Quarter,” the song’s moody, expansive feel was perfectly suited for an outdoor venue like Knebworth, allowing for atmospheric moments that resonated with the audience. Interestingly, the concert not only solidified their status as rock icons but also drew a massive crowd—estimates suggest around 200,000 attendees! It was a moment that captured the essence of the ‘70s rock scene, melding raw energy with sonic exploration.
