Permanent Vacation and Pump are great. The overdose of power ballads came after them. England didn't hate Zeppelin. The critics did. They just didn't immediately explode over there like they did in the US. And once they became huge there just wasn't enough big places for them to play.

In 1975 they booked 3 nights at Earls Court and ended up having to add 2 more because the demand for tickets was so high. And that place is pretty big! Those shows were the first time a rock band used rear projection.



In 1979 they drew around 200,000 over 2 nights at the annual Knebworth festival.
