| Stephen Davis gives us an insider look at the Led Zeppelin 1975 tour, which featured the biggest band in the world at the peak of their power. Shadowing band members backstage, on stage, and aboard the infamous Starship, he delivers details on the evolution of the songs and performances over the tour, the unique chemistry (or lack thereof) with each city’s audience, and some juicy tidbits like the identity of the woman Robert Plant sings about in a couple of songs. The project also includes never-before-published black-and-white photos. |
