This was the third performance in a row at Madison Square Garden. At the end of Whole Lotta Love, East Indian fire-eater Mike Quashie came dancing out on the stage with a couple of torches. He lit John Bonham's gong and one drumstick, but Bonzo just kept on playing.
This is the show where the robbery occurred of MSG receipts from the safety deposit box at the Drake Hotel. Originally reported as $203,000, the amount was $180,000 and no one was ever arrested for the theft. The band later sued the hotel and received a settlement.
After the show, the band went to a party held by Ahmet Ertegun to present gold records for Houses of the Holy.
This final night was also the final performance in this 1973 North American tour.

GLC Free Festival Battersea Park in London was put on by the Greater London Council, the city's local authority from 1964 to 1986. It was one of two music festivals used to highlight what the GLC was doing to fight unemployment, boost the London economy and help create and fund new jobs.
