On this day in 1975, I began the first date of a set of five at the Earls Court Arena in London with Led Zeppelin. This is the first time that a huge back projection screen had been used in England. Quite a number of hours were spent by the production team convincing the Greater London Council that the lasers, which had recently been employed by us on tour in the USA, were not going to cause substantial damage.
It is amusing to look back on this now, because the effect was no more than a laser pen, but from little acorns, mighty Oaks do grow!
