Led Zeppelin Announces Remastered Live Album from 1977 U.S. Tour — Previously Unreleased Tracks Included
The band is set to release rare live recordings, including extended versions of “Kashmir” and “No Quarter.”
In a major moment for classic rock fans around the world, Led Zeppelin has officially announced the upcoming release of a remastered live album featuring recordings from their iconic 1977 U.S. tour. The highly anticipated release, titled “Led Zeppelin: Live in America ’77,” will include never-before-released tracks and rare extended versions of fan favorites such as “Kashmir” and “No Quarter.”
The news was confirmed this week by guitarist Jimmy Page, who has personally overseen the remastering process. Known for his meticulous dedication to sound quality and preserving Zeppelin’s legacy, Page stated that this release is “a gift to the fans and a time capsule of the band at one of its creative peaks.”
The 1977 tour, which spanned nearly 50 concerts across North America, is remembered as one of the most ambitious and extravagant rock tours in history. It marked a period of both musical exploration and excess for the band, with setlists that often stretched well over three hours, elaborate stage effects, and some of the most powerful performances the group ever gave.
While many bootlegs and unofficial recordings from the tour have circulated for decades, this marks the first official release of professionally recorded and remastered audio from multiple concerts during the tour. The live album will include selections from legendary shows at The Forum in Los Angeles, Madison Square Garden in New York, and The Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan, which drew a record-setting crowd of over 76,000 people.
Among the most anticipated tracks are extended versions of “Kashmir,” which reportedly stretches to nearly 12 minutes, and “No Quarter,” which features an epic, improvised keyboard solo by John Paul Jones, showcasing his brilliance and improvisational skill. Fans will also be treated to fiery renditions of “Achilles Last Stand,” “Since I’ve Been Loving You,” and a thunderous version of “Stairway to Heaven.”
Jimmy Page described the process of selecting and restoring the material as a “deeply emotional journey.” In a press release, he shared, “Listening back to these tapes, I was blown away by the raw energy and precision of our playing. There’s a spontaneity to these performances that really captures the spirit of Led Zeppelin live — something magical that can’t be recreated in the studio.”
The album will be released in multiple formats, including a deluxe vinyl box set, CD edition, and a digital version featuring bonus content such as behind-the-scenes tour photos, handwritten setlists, and liner notes from surviving band members. A limited edition Blu-ray will also include newly restored concert footage, giving fans a rare visual experience of the 1977 shows.
The announcement has sparked massive excitement across social media and music forums, with hashtags like #Zeppelin77Live and #ReturnOfTheGods trending worldwide. Rock critics and historians are already calling the release one of the most important archival drops in recent rock history.
Robert Plant, who had previously been hesitant about releasing more live material, offered his blessing for this project. “This was us at full force — loud, loose, and fearless. I’m proud of what we captured,” he said in a rare public statement.
Set to release globally on October 10, 2025, Led Zeppelin: Live in America ’77 is poised to be a monumental addition to the band’s storied discography. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, it offers a chance to experience one of rock’s most legendary acts in their untamed, live glory — at a time when their music shook arenas and re
shaped rock history.
