Jimmy Page Birthday At The Royal Albert Hall 9 January 1970

On 9 January 1970, the young Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham, from now venerated rock band Led Zeppelin, took to the world-famous Royal Albert Hall stage to deliver one of the most celebrated gigs of their career. Although the legendary foursome had made their debut here only the year before, alongside Liverpool Scene and Blodwyn Pig at the First London Gala Pop Festival 1969, they were nervous. The band played a for nearly two hours without a break – a set dominated by material from the band’s first two albums, and including a performance of Since I’ve Been Loving You their unreleased third LP, as well as an bunch of ’50 rock ‘n’ roll and blues covers.
