This gig was overshadowed by something greater
Hard to believe but on this very same day Frank Zappa performed on one of his rare concerts in London, at the Royal Festival Hall.
Now FZ was, at the time, far more popular than the newly-named Led Zeppelin. So this very unique and historical event of LZ was unfortunately completely overshadowed by a visiting American artist.
This might explain, why there are so little (or none!?) contemporary documents on LZ's very first gig ever.
