Led Zeppelin-Going to California. Sydney Australia 1972 27 02 Remastered by RudenkoArt

Led Zeppelin's 1972 Australasian Tour was the only concert tour of Australia and New Zealand by the English rock band. The tour commenced on 16 February and concluded on 29 February 1972. (Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page had earlier toured Australia with The Yardbirds in January 1967).

Led Zeppelin received generally good press coverage for this tour and black-and-white footage of some of their concert at Sydney on 27 February,[3] along with a press party, were filmed by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and shown to a national audience..

Part way through this tour, Jimmy Page shaved off his trademark beard, a look he adopted nearly two years before while recording Led Zeppelin III. He had the beard at Led Zeppelin's concert in Melbourne 20 February, but is clean shaven at the band's press party two days later. Page would remain clean shaven for the rest of the band's career.

All of the concerts on this tour except for one (at Brisbane on 29 February) were performed at open-air venues. The Melbourne performance at Kooyong Stadium on 20 February was cut short due to inclement weather.

Robert Plant – lead vocals, harmonica
Jimmy Page – guitars, theremin, live backing vocals, production
John Paul Jones – bass, keyboards, occasional backing vocals
John Bonham – drums, percussion, occasional backing vocals

My dad was a bass player in a rock group and we moved out to California with his band in 1969 and stayed until 1974 so identify with this song. I am listening to it in an apartment in Melbourne and so loving hearing them when they played here all those years ago. My Aussie husband was around 18 years at this time and looked like one of the crowd. He just passed away this past August, so feeing nostalgic for this era of great music.

im kind of stoned rn, and this song is a complete masterpiece it encapsulates the 60's/early 70's sound and feeling.

Yeah this version on How theWWW, is absolutely Fab. Summer of '72.
Idk if modern listeners hear or understand the 'music fest' vibe this give off.
