| | The 1979 Knebworth Concerts |
 | | veteran promoter Freddie Bannister at Knebworth (or elsewhere for that matter).The return to the UK of Led Zeppelin, after a four year hiatus, was to prove an artistic success but a financial disaster for the luckless promoter, who was, it appears, a victim of circumstances, not all of his own creating. |
 | | Whatever, far fewer people attended on the 11th and Zeppelin's management were in charge of the money.As a result of the overestimation of the popularity of Zeppelin by all concerned, big money was lost on the second weekend. |
 | | More info about these concerts can also be found at the Knebworth House site and at Rip Gooch's site, which contains substantial portions of text from the now defunct book Knebworth Rock Festivals, by Chryssie Lytton Cobbold, and finally, at Kevin Shewan's Knebworth 79 pages. |
