Led Zeppelin

Ah, the summer of ’77! That’s when Led Zeppelin delivered one of their legendary performances at the Kingdome in Seattle. By this time, the band was riding the waves of their renowned album, "Presence," which had dropped just a year earlier in 1976. "Presence" was notable not just for its hard-hitting sound, but also for its infamous track "Achilles Last Stand," which showcased the musical prowess of guitarist Jimmy Page and the vocal acrobatics of Robert Plant. Kicking off that tour in ‘77, the band's live versions were electric! The Seattle concert, where they played the iconic “Kashmir,” was a testament to their energy and enduring influence, even as tensions within the group hinted at what was on the horizon. It’s fascinating to see how their dynamic evolved; some fans consider this era a pinnacle of their live performances, adding a certain weight to this recording. Who doesn’t love a good live jam that captures the rawness of the moment?
