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)

Led Zeppelin Baltimore Civic center on July 23rd, 1973
Led Zeppelin DID NOT have Backstage passes from Concerts West OR Concerts East! Entertainment Concepts (E.C.) Promoted the Concert in Baltimore. All tickets were Mail Order ONLY and the show Sold Out immediately. no ticket-tron either? There were riots outside during the entire concert and no one would sit down inside. Even Robert Plant sang won't you please sit down during the "Rain Song", as I have a taped recording of the concert. I never saw a single 1973 tour program in or outside the venue. I have a stub of a printed ticket. Amazing photographs and the original Mail Order Ad. One person outside was trying to sell an extra ticket for $15.00 and the crowd almost kick the arse out of him. It was a hot Baltimore City humid sticky evening. There was a hot-eletricity in the air, as though it was almost magical. The band was Amazing as they played for 3 hours and 40 minutes.
