So...in 1971 the tickets were what...$6? Led Zeppelin had made, what, 20% of their music (if that)? And they were already the best ever...awesome film...I wish I could go back to that time (but miss the draft)
I think this was at the Sam Houston Coliseum, which was pretty much where all rock bands performed on their Houston stops. The Beatles played there, for example. It has since been leveled and replaced by a new performing arts theatre.
I started playing guitar because of them. Today I wrote and recorded an original song. If you want to hear how Led Zeppelin-inspired music sounds 2011 style click on wisztrock. I think you'll like it.
i was fortunate to see them live in concert back in 76 or 77, i think it was their last tour. all the bands of today are a bunch of pussies compared to the mega-rock bands of the 70's. glad to say i saw most of them and led zep is the greatest kick ass rock band ever...
The people going to that show look different that what you'd see today. I don't mean the fashion styles or demographics. There's very few people going to the show who are overweight.
This was my first Zep show. I remember sitting out front with that big marqee saying Tonight Led Zeppelin and my heart was pounding. I'm 60 now, and those times were the greatest. My 20 yr. old has told me on more than one occasion, "I wish I lived back then, Dad." Yea, well, I thank God I did.
@caseyables I'm not your son but you were VERY lucky to see them in the early 70s. They are in like my top 5 best bands ever to see live if I had the chance.
i wonder who had the smarts to film/video this--w/audio? not easy like it is today.. I had lots of cameras confiscated back in the day..great that LZ.com supports bootlegs.
I believe I attended this concert. I'm scouring the footage to see if I can see myself in the crowd (smiles). There was very little (perhaps NOTHING) that would have stopped me from attending a Led Zeppelin concert in those days. Thanks so much for the wonderful experiences! And I'm still enjoying your work ....
I don't know about the 70's,but I know in the 80's the Sam Houston Coliseum was a dangerous place to go for concerts. Roving bands of Mexicans thugs would attack people and steal their concert shirts. They would hunt in packs sometimes 10 of them jumping 2 guy's with fists,kicks and usually knives. They would approach you at first and tell you to give them your shirt and if you didn't they would immediately pounce. The middle class white kids from the burbs were the easiest targets.
@pfigment Man.. I wish I was the age I am now, back in this time... Im so into anything 90's and back. Im ashamed to live amoungst thing modern age of music.

95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop songs over and over. if your one of the 5% left who still listen to real music, thunb this up, then copy and paste it to t least 5 video's.
I have to ask......... was there one joint after another passing through the rows at this concert? And did the police just watch on as if it were a normal part of a concert?
At least that's how it went in Dallas. I went to a "rock" concert recently. What happened??? I went to the White Stripes, even Green Day.... it is just pitiful what passes for a rock concert these days. The police state has taken over and it SUCKS

@daviejtube95 Yes, I noticed that in the left speaker at 1:24, it sounds like some kind of verbal direction to the rest of the band. Though not sure what that mic was actually for otherwise- it sounds like they left it in on purpose
Just listen to Bonham at 6:27. These dipshit drummers these days thinking they're all bad ass with their "ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka" double bass pedals. I'm sorry, you all start playing like the MIGHTY BONZO and maybe I'll be impressed!
the footage of the concert is amazing - thank you for sharing - this, way back in the day, when LZ was just beginning to emerge - from a garage band (look at their amplifiers, stage lights, etc.) .... to what they became .... this is rare footage .... thanks again for posting such a phenomenal video (also refreshing to see all the real hippies of the day)
@montanabrent I dunno man. I don't think Zep were ever at the garage stage. They sort of leepfrogged way past that. By 71 they were already pretty massive- just a bit newer to the states. Still, it's great to see them at their early prime.

robert plant really looks like a skinny rock God here. at the top of his game. its no wonder he just wont tour anymore, old age doesn't go by the hand with rock. just see the rolling stones, better to watch a horror movie
WOW,this must have been the baddest ever,damm I saw 'em 2x's in NYC but this was earlier and plant can still sing,WHOA!It doesn't get any better than this KIDDIES!!!
@GuitarzMyThing It would sound like it just finished having amazing sex cuz whenever Page plays, the guitar would scream in pleasure. Well, that's we hear in Led Zeppelin's albums and live performances. That guitar screaming with all these awesome sounds. Jimmy Page, a guitar's wet dream.
The scene of the crime! I must have seen a hundred bands in the Sam Houston Coliseum in the '70's. To see those familair walkways, doorways, seats, sections, and concert-goers having paid their $5.00 for a show like this is about the closest I'll ever get to a trip in Mr. Peabody's wayback machine. Wow.
★Led Zeppelin★ remain the greatest rock band to ever set foot on a stage. No band before or since has even come close. Zep's first six albums so far, have sold 76-million copies just in the U.S. alone, that's an average of 12.6 million per album. No music artist of any genre has ever matched this feat.
@tthoy1 And remember in the early 70's when The Stones were getting saturation publicity and Zep were getting virtually ignored by the music press, yet Zep were outselling every band in the world exponentially. Long before the internet Led Zeppelin would sell out entire tours in a few hours with no advertising. No band has ever remotely approached the drawing power that Led Zeppelin always commanded. The clueless critics eventually came around, but the fans always knew. The still do.
ye, no wonder its rare cuz richard cole was running about at every live concert karate chopping anyone who dared make bootleg recordings of the band... and now we all wish there was more documentation of the live shows.
happy 67th birthday jimmy page...i was at this concert in houston in 1971 with third row seats...when they demolished the sam houston coliseum i pirated the bronze dedication plaque (2' x 4') from the wall...it took me over three hours to get that damn thing off the wall ...it was attached with 4 inch bolts...: )...i can't believe i am seeing this vid...THANK YOU SO MUCH I AM STOKED

Good to see others remembering the vital roll Jonsie (John Paul Jones played in the greatest band ever. Everyone of them were equally important, that coming from Robert & Jimmy! Man was (is) a musical master
The audio is not from a bootleg--it's "Out On The Tiles" from LZ III. I know is this is a lead blimp, but FYI. The second song @ 2:50 is live... "Heartbreaker." then "D&C" and a "Stairway" finale.
I was born and still live in Houston. The first time I saw them was summer 1971 and it was the second time they came to Hou. It was in the Univ of Hou sports arena Hofheinz Pavillion. A great place for a show. Only 8500 seats and it is round so all are good seats. This was a later show in the Colesium, now torn down. Crap acoustics, but it was the first time we heard Stairway, and God, what a show.
do you know whats great about zep? they didnt have to sound super distorted to sound awesome. the only time they had a "crunch" was (rah, htwww, and knebworth) and of course on albums. which i guess gives some hope to little jimmy page fans that want to get his live tone. true it is in his fingers, but his tone is mostly "clean".
When I 1st found this I thought... Whoa, I was at this show, how cool to find video. But what was really weird was that at the beginning footage I see myself!!! That's me in the hall in the red shirt at the :024-:027 part of the video. Too Cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dad Said that in 1976 or 1977 (he can't remember) led zeppelin was commin to houston tx at the colosilum and riots were breaking out becuase everyone wanted to see them live. He didn't get his tickets.
L Z played San Antonio TX on 8/26, the date on the marquee in the beginning. The previous night they played in Houston. [Dave Lewis: L Z Concert File]
So...in 1971 the tickets were what...$6? Led Zeppelin had made, what, 20% of their music (if that)? And they were already the best ever...awesome film...I wish I could go back to that time (but miss the draft)

Good to see others remembering the vital roll Jonsie (John Paul Jones played in the greatest band ever. Everyone of them were equally important, that coming from Robert & Jimmy! Man was (is) a musical master

The audio is not from a bootleg--it's "Out On The Tiles" from LZ III. I know is this is a lead blimp, but FYI. The second song @ 2:50 is live... "Heartbreaker." then "D&C" and a "Stairway" finale.

I was born and still live in Houston. The first time I saw them was summer 1971 and it was the second time they came to Hou. It was in the Univ of Hou sports arena Hofheinz Pavillion. A great place for a show. Only 8500 seats and it is round so all are good seats. This was a later show in the Colesium, now torn down. Crap acoustics, but it was the first time we heard Stairway, and God, what a show.

do you know whats great about zep? they didnt have to sound super distorted to sound awesome. the only time they had a "crunch" was (rah, htwww, and knebworth) and of course on albums. which i guess gives some hope to little jimmy page fans that want to get his live tone. true it is in his fingers, but his tone is mostly "clean".
Cheers
