1969:
The Nottingham Boat Club's capacity was 250. Led Zeppelin was paid 60% of the door and advance sales. Their contract called for them to play two 30 minute spots.
1977:
Eight years after the Nottingham Boat Club gig, Led Zeppelin drew a crowd of more than 20,000 for the first of four shows at the Chicago Stadium. The band played basically non-stop for over three hours.

WARNING: OPINION FOLLOWS I think one of the more irritating things is how the Page & Plant shows started over the course of their collaborations. This one's no exception. Whether it's the Tale of Bran or a recording of an Egyptian orchestra - it's just a holding place. It's not what we came for. Forget the artsy, give me the music!
You can skip to about 1:50 in the video below if you agree. Or even if you don't. I won't tell anyone.

NOTICE: April 11 will be the last daily On This Day post as that will be a full year's worth. I won't post any more unless Jimmy Page's website offers some new ones.
