The Album: Led Zeppelin IV
Led Zeppelin’s fourth album, often referred to simply as Led Zeppelin IV, was released on November 8, 1971. Produced by the band’s guitarist Jimmy Page and recorded between December 1970 and February 1971, primarily at the country house Headley Grange, the album is a masterclass in rock music. It features iconic tracks such as the eight-minute epic “Stairway to Heaven,” “Going to California,” “Black Dog,” and “Rock and Roll.”
ARC will perform Led Zeppelin IV in its entirety, bringing every note and nuance of the album to life. The concert will start with the full album played from start to finish, capturing the essence of the original recording. Following this, ARC will dive into a second set filled with fan favorites and classics from Led Zeppelin’s extensive catalogue, promising an unforgettable night of rock.
ARC’s Legacy of Tributes
Presented by Live Nation and ARC, this tour marks the band’s fifth national tribute. Their previous tours have been met with unanimous praise and sold-out venues, honoring albums such as Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon (2023), Neil Young’s Harvest (2022), The Beatles’ Let It Be (2021), and the extended dates of their debut tour celebrating The Beatles’ Abbey Road (2019-2020).
Each performance has showcased their ability to not only play these classic albums but to breathe new life into them, offering audiences a fresh yet faithful experience.
