Immigrant Song, a lost cymbal and a suitcase full of cash: Rare footage of Led Zeppelin on tour in 1972 has surfaced online

Led Zeppelin soundcheck on stage at Oude Rai on 27th May 1972 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

High-quality behind-the-scenes film of Led Zeppelin on tour has surfaced online. The newsreel footage was originally shot for the Dutch music TV show Popzien in May 1972 as the band travelled to the Netherlands to play a show for 10,000 fans at Oude RAI Amsterdam, the first of two warm-up shows before embarking on their US 1972 tour.

The four-minute clip shows Led Zeppelin's touring party arriving at the airport in Amsterdam, where they're greeted by promoter and impresario Lou van Rees, who also organised Dutch shows by Deep Purple, Ten Years After, Black Sabbath and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
