1969:
This show was performed on a revolving stage. Good for the audience half the time.
1970:
The band and crew were already old hands at touring; this concert was at the beginning of Led Zeppelin's sixth US tour - the sixth in two years' time. The first week's shows were cancelled due to John Paul Jones' father's health. Peter Grant was now booking larger venues with five-figure audience capacity. After this show there were rumors that the band had been so loud the coliseum ceiling cracked.

On this day Jimmy Page and Robert Plant recorded songs for the MTV Unledded telecast in a slate quarry. Because why not.
It turned out that the unlovely quarry actually had pretty good acoustics provided by the huge mound of slate. The electrical lines overhead, which can be seen in the images below, kind of add to the weirdness of the whole thing.
