The May 25, 1969 concert at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, is legendary for being the only time The Who and Led Zeppelin ever performed on the same bill.
Venue:
Merriweather Post Pavilion
in Columbia, MD.
Setlists
This remains one of the most sought-after pieces of rock memorabilia; an original poster from the night, where the name was correctly spelled, has sold at auction for over $9,000.
I wonder what a ticket stub from that concet is worth ?

- Ticket Price: A mere $5.75.
- The Misspelling: The tickets famously misspelled the opening act's name as "Lead Zeppelin".
- Curfew Incident: Led Zeppelin's high-energy set ran long, forcing a member of The Who's crew to pull the plug to ensure the headliner could perform before the local curfew.

With Zeppelin? Good God!
I remember wanting to go to this show so bad.
Pretty sure I'd already seen Styx and Queen (with older sister), and Rush with some forgotten friend. Parents put the foot down as they were still in ownership of my body. I was friggin' 14 by then! (and a HALF!, as they used to say). Memory tells me there was a live radio simulcast of the event, which was my only freedom leg to stand on.
--quality mediocre; recommended to steal a better copy, if freedom allows

I bought a ticket from a scalper to see them in Las Vegas. It was counterfeit.
I vowed to only buy from reputable outfits after that........Won't get fooled again.
Maple Leaf Gardens "ticket stubs"....ahhhh the memories
I have a shoebox filled with those ticket stubs, none from concerts though, all Leaf games (I never saw a concert at MLG).
You were going to Rock Concerts when you were under the age of 14, wow
You grew up fast......
