On July 30, 1975, one of the most iconic and influential figures in rock music history, Jimmy Page, performed his last concert with Led Zeppelin at the Oldfield Festival in Knebworth, England. This performance marked the end of an era for the legendary band, which had dominated the music scene for over a decade.
Led Zeppelin, formed in 1968, consisted of four members: Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). The band's unique blend of blues, rock, and folk influences, coupled with their incredible musical prowess and electrifying stage presence, made them one of the most successful and beloved rock bands of all time.
The Knebworth Festival, held over two weekends in July and August 1975, featured an impressive lineup of artists, including The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and Captain Beefheart. Led Zeppelin's performance on July 30 was a highly anticipated event, with over 120,000 fans in attendance.
The band's setlist included some of their most iconic songs, such as "Rock and Roll," "Stairway to Heaven," and "Whole Lotta Love." Jimmy Page's blistering guitar solos and Robert Plant's powerful vocals were on full display, captivating the audience and cementing the band's status as rock legends.
Sadly, this would be Led Zeppelin's last major concert with their original lineup. In 1980, drummer John Bonham passed away, leading to the band's decision to disband. The Knebworth performance on July 30, 1975, remains a testament to Led Zeppelin's incredible talent and enduring legacy in the world of music.
