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.
- 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.
Setlists
| Band | Key Songs Performed |
|---|
| Led Zeppelin | "Train Kept a Rollin'", "Dazed and Confused", "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", and an early live version of "Whole Lotta Love". |
| The Who | Highlights from Tommy (including "Pinball Wizard"), "Magic Bus", "I Can't Explain", and "My Generation". |
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 ?
