First playing together in the fall of 1968, by 1970 Led Zeppelin had eclipsed the Beatles as the most popular group in Britain, and with their fourth album in 1971 they released one of the defining songs of rock history, "Stairway to Heaven." Here they are seen in their early tours, in their heyday in the mid-1970s, and in the years since drummer John Bonham's accidental death in 1980, as well as their subsequent split into various solo efforts and collaborative reunions. With hundreds of large captioned photos (up to 8 x 8 inches) in color and black and white, this visual history is one of a series that profiles some of the world's greatest musical performers through iconic, rarely seen, and previously unpublished images
