When Led Zeppelin had long since faded away as the best rock band in the world, Fred Bannister, a promoter, had asked Zeppelin to do two shows at Knebworth, both of which could hardly be filled. The first show only saw roughly 200,000 people, and a week later, at the next show, under 40,000 people attended. (Mick Wall, 2008)
My point for sharing this history lesson and these pictures is two facts about the programs you may not have known:
The sky was superimposed from Texas.
The sky was cloudy at Knebworth, so promoters took a Texas sky and superimposed it to make it seem more jolly.
They're looking at a naked girl.
Ever wonder what they're looking at in the distance? It wasn't the camera crew. It was a naked 16 year old girl; promoters knew Zeppelin had been edgy since Robert's son, Karac's, death, so to make it more comfortable for the band, they brought in a naked girl to loosen them up.
