Another Record Outdoor Show

Their previous show was in front of 50,000 at Atlanta's giant outdoor football Memorial Stadium. This Tampa gig earned them $309,000, breaking the Beatles' single concert record.

Ticket-wise, Zeppelin was now outselling the Stones — touring their “Exile on Main Street” album that year — by a ratio of 2:1.

In terms of publicity, though, Zeppelin still came a poor second to Jagger and Co., with their impossibly glamorous entourage that included Princess Lee Radziwell (sister of Jackie Onassis) and writer Truman Capote.

As Jimmy moaned to the NME, “Who wants to know that Led Zeppelin broke an attendance record at such-and-such a place when Mick Jagger’s hanging around with Truman Capote?”
