We will also be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of Led Zeppelin’s Fourth album – add in all the usual features, CD and book reviews, ongoing news of Robert Plant & The Band Of Joy, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Jason Bonham, Black Country Communion, tribute band focus etc and it all adds up to another year of essential Zep reading

Tight But Loose Knebworth Book

*Personal Dedication:  In ordering the book you have the option for Dave Lewis to personally dedicate the book to the lucky recipient to create a unique gift. Please state who you would like the book dedicated to and any inscription request via your order (pay pal users can fill in details on the ‘’Instruction to Merchant’’ box on their pay pal order form).

The book unfolds the story of how thirty years ago over two weekends in August 1979, thousands of fans came to pay homage to Led Zeppelin as they performed what would be their last UK shows at Knebworth.

Dave Lewis chronicles this milestone event in rock history with the full account behind the bands triumphant return to the stage – the build up to the event, the concerts themselves, the aftermath and the accompanying impact of their final studio album In Through The Out Door. The book also incorporates a series of unique firsthand accounts from fans who attended the gigs, interviews from the time and retrospective views. It’s illustrated throughout with rare photos and memorabilia.

These nostalgic recollections from out in the field capture the final days of a legendary band and the simpler more innocent times of the last great British festival gatherings of the 1970s.

*Since its publication, Then As It Was has been universally acclaimed – here’s a selection of the many positive feedback comments received from readers of the book:

‘’Then As It Was is a triumph. Without question Dave Lewis’ best written work to date and a wonderful evocation of a bygone age in musical culture. He skillfully captures the innocence of the times, while satiating the Zep enthusiast’s lust for every minute detail of these huge events.’’- Chris Wright – Nevada USA

‘’I just received the Knebworth book and it is nothing short of brilliant.  It is put together incredibly well and there is so much info which I didn’t even know existed.’’ – Gary Bicknese – New York USA

“This is a wonderful book for Zep / Knebworth fans. Dave Lewis has done himself and Zep fans proud with this book.” – Rick Schnell – USA

“Then As It Was, 30 Years Gone is the simply the best book I’ve read in years. It took me right back to those weekends 30 years ago and has reminded me how much Zeppelin has meant to me over the past three decades. Absolute credit to all concerned for the superb production of this book. A gem!” – Colin Hinley, UK

‘’The book is 250+ pages of personal stories and anecdotes about the Knebworth event by people who were there. Dave has woven them all together in his unique, highly detailed narrative. This is a must- have item for any serious collector.’’ – Frank Reddon -Canada

‘’Then As It Was is a work of true passion. The relationship between a band and its followers is reciprocal and as much as the music of Led Zeppelin has fired the enthusiasm of fans, the band is fortunate to have a chronicler with the insight and loyalty of Dave Lewis.’’ – Tim Kyle – UK
