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)

Baltimore 1973...
My friend's girlfriend worked across the street from the Baltimore Civic Center and she went to the box office the first day tickets went on sale. She was able to get 6 tickets at $7.00 each for Led Zeppelin. I still have the ticket stub from the 1973 concert. I remembered the crowd was anxious for the band to appear. The crowd was cheering Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin. All of sudden the lights go out , and there was a deafening roar from the crowd. Everyone was lighting their Bic lighters. The drummer started the song Rock and Roll, more screaming. Then a yellow spotlight shown on Robert Plant just as he was about to sing and the show was on. Best concert I've ever attended.
