On this day 11 January

 What's a few years among friends?

1975 11 January On This Day Led Zeppelin at Rotterdam
  • 1969 Led Zeppelin - San Francisco, CA at Fillmore West (day 3 of 4)
  • 1975 Led Zeppelin - Rotterdam, The Netherlands at Ahoy Rotterdam 
1975
The Rotterdam show was the first performance after an 18 month sabbatical.  Robert Plant was nervous or rusty enough to have forgotten some of they lyrics to Stairway to Heaven.  

JP came onstage in the same outfit he wore at Madison Square Garden in July 1973, then changed jackets after a few songs. He changed into different pants for the encore. 

There seems to be some confusion about photos from the show, including what is on Jimmy Page’s website on this day. The photos on the website are from a pre-show soundcheck on 27 May 1972 at Oude Rai in Amsterdam, Netherlands. On the photographer's website the photo is listed as taken in 1972 and is offered for sale "starting" at $1050.
