SuperDave Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 i was just wondering if Led Zeppelin hold any world records for anything? Any help? At one time they held the Guinness World Record for largest attendance for a single performance by one artist. That was for their show at the Pontiac Silverdome in front of over 76,000 people in April 1977. Don't think they hold it any longer. Also had their entire catalog of nine albums on the Billboard 200 after the release of ITTOD. Not sure of other records they may hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickZepp Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Dazed would go on for 40-45 minutes some times. Might hold the record for the longest rock song in concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I believe this forum holds the World Record for most unsubstantiated rumors of a world tour from a band that is currently not together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISIS Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Top ten concert by attendance #1 Sir Rodney 3,5 mil Rio http://www.rockandrollbadboy.com/topattendance.html Wouldn't it be great if the reformed LZ could beat this record with a performance in RIO in 2009 for over 4 million. It's possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RjK Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Top ten concert by attendance #1 Sir Rodney 3,5 mil Rio http://www.rockandrollbadboy.com/topattendance.html Seems to me half those single act concerts were free and the other half were festivals featuring multiple acts. I think if Zepplelin were to do one of those free concert deals they would easily top Rod and Garth in fact they would have to have it on the salt flats in Utah. I can't think of a bigger place at the moment that could hold all the people. RjK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmsofAtlas Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Also had their entire catalog of nine albums on the Billboard 200 after the release of ITTOD. Not sure of other records they may hold. Not true, b/c Pearl Jam broke the record 2x in 2001 with their bootleg albums bein in the charts. Each leg was released a different week about a month apart. For the Euro leg 5 albums showed up, and for the North American leg 7 showed up, so Zep never had 9 or even 5 albums in the top 200, at once.

pentangleafternoon Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 guesses for a zeppelin record would be groupies, white lady (assuming keith richards isnt his own band), or maybe overall show attendance from '68 till 80. (though its unlikely to find such a headcount) im willing to bet that the PJ live shows consisted of prereleased tunes. PJ has 8 studio albums including the b-sides record and that just puts zeppelin right back in the godfather rocking chair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had their entire catalog of nine albums on the Billboard 200 after the release of ITTOD. Not sure of other records they may hold. Yes, indeed, it was a record attendance. As has been pointed out, the key words here are "one artist".So,not a festival, then, and I'd personally say that free shows are tricky to include as a real measure of an artist/band's popularity.Maybe.Still...given those restrictions, we're stuck with Pontiac so far. I too was convinced the attendance had been beaten...but by who,or whom, and where and when ? BTW...This is all based on the idea that there was no support, no special guests etc at the Pontiac show. That is true.Isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortuna Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Apologies if this has been posted already on here. Led Zeppelin are in the Guinness Book of World Records 2009 for the highest demand for concert tickets for one show. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2008/09/080916.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZepp Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm pretty sure Led Zeppelin has the record for most bootlegs, but there may be no way to get an exact number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
