As an opener to their 1972 tour, rock legends Led Zeppelin played in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in front of 10,000 fans, just six months after the release of their classic fourth album. Now, rare, high-quality footage of that show has appeared online.
Footage of the show was captured for the Dutch music TV show Popzien but has only previously appeared online in low quality – but now a high-resolution four-minute clip has surfaced.
It shows the band arriving at the airport in Amsterdam, where they are greeted by the rock promoter Lou Van Rees, and then shows the opening of their show at the 10,000-capacity Oude RAI Amsterdam, including the first song of the gig, ‘Immigrant Song’.
After the Amsterdam show on May 27, they played in Brussels the following night, before kicking off the US tour in Detroit on June 6.
