Review excerpt:
LED ZEPPELIN'S ROCK: HEAVY
More than 12,000 eager people turned out Monday night to see the British group at the Baltimore Civic Center, the latest stop on an American tour that has proved enormously successful. The band has been playing before packed houses of up to 60,000 and this concert was sold out for more than two weeks.
Monday night’s concert was almost vintage Led Zeppelin. The music ranged from good, tight, loud rock to boring, banal, loud noise and there was enough of each to keep everybody satisfied.
Three songs typified Led Zeppelin’s strongest points. Over the Hills and Far Away, The Song Remains the Same and Whole Lotta Love are steady, hard rockers that feature Robert Plant’s eerie knife-sharp voice, Page’s guitar and John Bonham’s throbbing, incessant drums at their best. (A. Ward - Wash. Post 7/73)

73 concert in Baltimore, MD
What a night! I was 17 and it was one of my first concerts. Me and four friends went. I remember two things the most. When they first came out and hit the first note, my ears went into shock. I think it took two days before my hearing got back to normal. But, when they played Stairway to Heaven, it was incredible. I remember when the song changed tempo that they had a set of flood lights streaming from in front of the drums shining acroos the arena. It was like the stairway up to the clouds. Then lights lit up a mirror ball in the center of the arena which put stars around the entire place. I will never forget that concert. I wished I had receiver tickets to the London show so I could have seen them again. Maybe some day.
