Album of the Day

HOW THE WEST WAS WON highlights the best performances from Led Zeppelin's legendary concerts at the Los Angeles Forum and Long Beach Arena on June 25 and 27, 1972. Originally released in 2003, the celebrated live album was sequenced to replicate a single concert from beginning to end, and captures the band at the height of its formidable powers. Standouts include a 25-plus minute version of "Dazed And Confused" and a 21-minute medley based around "Whole Lotta Love." The performances also introduced songs from the quartet's then-unreleased album HOUSES OF THE HOLY, which would hit stores nine months after these shows. Produced by guitarist Jimmy Page, HOW THE WEST WAS WON debuted at No.1 on the Billboard chart and was eventually certified Platinum.
