Led Zeppelin Played Here Trailers

1969. Man lands on the moon. Half a million strong at Woodstock....and Led Zeppelin perform in the gym of the Wheaton Youth Center in front of 50 confused teenagers. Or did they? Filmmaker Jeff Krulik chronicles an enduring Maryland legend, of the very night this concert was alleged to have taken place, January 20, 1969, during the first Presidential Inauguration of Richard Nixon. Led Zeppelin Played Here presents a mid-Atlantic version of what was happening nationwide as the rock concert industry took shape. Featuring interviews with rock writers, musicians, and fans, and several who claim they were witnessing history that night.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Did Led Zeppelin play the Wheaton Youth Center in Wheaton Maryland on Jan. 20, 1969 before 50 people...and not get paid? Did their manager argue with DJ/Promoter Barry Richards in order to get gas money for the group? How did teen centers and high school gyms become the embryo for rock and roll concerts? All this and much more...including footage of Led Zeppelin playing the Laurel Pop Festival in 1969 and backstage for the double bill of Led Zeppelin and The Who at Merriweather Post Pavilion. A compelling circumstantial case is made for Led Zeppelin playing the Wheaton Youth Center. Just as compelling for the show being a myth are remarks made by music columnists Michael Oberman and Richard Harrington (both writers covered the music scene in 1969. Fun, funny, historical rock doc.
