This Day In Music, in 1979, Led Zeppelin played their last ever UK show!

In 1979, Led Zeppelin played their last ever UK show when they appeared at Knebworth House, England. 

Led Zeppelin played their last ever concerts at Knebworth, and it was the end of an era for the Knebworth shows.

Although the Record Mirror and Melody Maker provided generally positive reports, journalists from other major music publications such as New Musical Express, Sounds, Rolling Stone and The Sunday Times criticized Led Zeppelin's performances as being sluggish and rusty. 

Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant stated after the event that Led Zeppelin's performance at Knebworth was "a bit rusty". In the opinion of Lewis, the gigs were a "nervous, rather tentative attempt [by Led Zeppelin] to step back into the limelight ... Some of it was breathtaking, some musically woefully inept and sometimes it wavered between the two in the space of a few minutes."
