MAY 25, 1969 -The Who and Led Zeppelin appeared at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. This was the only time the two groups ever appeared together and Led Zeppelin opening the show. On the tickets Led Zeppelin was misspelled “Lead” Zeppelin.Press Review: “At the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD, on Sunday night, comedian Uncle Dirty, Led Zeppelin and The Who performed to a packed hall, field and parking lot. Led Zeppelin played a fairly orthodox show, mostly using material off their first album. And although guitarist Jimmy Page once again proved himself a fine musician, there wasn’t much more to be said about the act as a whole. He and singer Robert Plant launched into innumerable transgressions of tonal question-answer games, more conducive to boredom than musically induced languor.”
