Final LED ZEPPELIN U.K. Gigs At Knebworth Chronicled As Never Before In New Book

"Led Zeppelin Then As it Was - At Knebworth 1979 (Fully Revised & Updated Edition" (Tight But Loose Publishing),written and compiled by Dave Lewis, is available to order exclusively from www.tightbutloose.co.uk.

In August 1979, thousands of fans came to pay homage to LED ZEPPELIN as they performed what would be their last U.K. shows at Knebworth.

Dave Lewis chronicles this milestone event in rock history with the full story behind the band's triumphant return to the stage — the build-up to the event, the concerts themselves, the aftermath and the accompanying impact of their final studio album, "In Through The Out Door". The book also incorporates extensive first-hand accounts from fans who attended the gigs, interviews from the time, retrospective views plus bootleg and statistic appendix chapters — all fully illustrated in full color, with many rarely seen photos and memorabilia images.

Lewis first heard the music of LED ZEPPELIN in 1969 at the age of 13. The effect has been a lasting one.

He is acknowledged and respected throughout the world as a leading chronicler of the group and its individual members.
