Led Zeppelin Budokan Tokyo Ticket Stub October 1972
An original ticket stub for a Led Zeppelin performance at the Nippon Budokan Large Hall, Tokyo on Tuesday, October 3, 1972.
This specific date is highly significant in rock music history: it marks the band's second night at the legendary Tokyo arena during their final tour of Japan. It is celebrated among collectors as one of the band's best-recorded performances of the era, widely immortalized on iconic vinyl bootlegs like The Overture.
Interestingly, during this performance, Robert Plant introduced the opening track of their upcoming fifth album by stating, "Last night it was called Zep, tonight we'll call it The Overture," giving a rare alternate title to what would officially become the legendary classic "The Song Remains the Same".
The ticket stub measures 17.6 x 7.2 cm
The condition of the ticket stub is good + with some light tape staining
