## Resource

On March 21, 1973, Led Zeppelin walked off stage after just eight minutes in Nuremberg, Germany—something that had never happened before. What started as a technical nightmare turned into a violent confrontation with a show promoter that would haunt the band for years and set in motion a chain of events leading to their eventual dissolution. We unpack every detail of rock's most infamous abandoned concert.
