🎸🔥 THIS DAY IN MUSIC HISTORY
20 August, 1968
LED ZEPPELIN PLAY THEIR VERY FIRST GIG
On this night in 1968, a newly formed band called the New Yardbirds — days away from becoming Led Zeppelin — played their debut concert in Gladsaxe, Denmark. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham had rehearsed for barely two weeks. The world had no idea what was about to hit it.
"Been a long time since I rock and rolled,
Been a long time since I did the stroll."
— Led Zeppelin
