Led Zeppelin's 1970 United Kingdom Tour was a concert tour of the United Kingdom by the English rock band. The tour commenced on 7 January and concluded on 17 February 1970.

This tour is arguably best known for the band's performance at the Royal Albert Hall on 9 January. According to Led Zeppelin guitarist, Jimmy Page, the Royal Albert hall was "at the time the largest and most prestigious gig in London."


In 1970, Led Zeppelin commissioned the British director and Producer of BBC's music television series In Concert, Stanley Dorfman, to film the band's Led Zeppelin Live at the Royal Albert Hall performance on January 9. Dorfman and the two cameramen he hired, Peter Whitehead and an assistant, used handheld Bolex cameras to capture the concert in 16mm film.

Much later, the band's manager at the time, Peter Grant, claimed that a 40-minute cut was prepared but was not officially released at the time because the footage was filmed at the wrong speed. However, at an expert panel held at The Royal Albert Hall on 27 May 2017 featuring the Hall's historian Richard Dacre and Professor Steve Chibnall, of De Montfort University's Cinema and Television History Research Centre, Chibnall explained, "in the concert Led Zeppelin supplied a pulse feed off their mixing desk for the editing purposes but were not sufficiently happy with their performance to release the full soundtrack for use in the film." Some of the video tapes suffered from a common fault called sticky-shed syndrome where the bonding agent holding the magnetic particles to the tape backing decomposes to the point where the oxide is scraped off during playback. The tapes consequently had to be restored by baking them in ovens at 55 °C (131 °F) for three weeks in order for them to be played back. Chibnall stated that it was agreed with Stanley Dorfman that the concert would form part of a larger documentary project including the band's performance at the Bath Festival in June, but that the project was shelved as Peter Whitehead, who had planned to film the band arriving to the Bath festival by helicopter, arrived at the venue too late to capture it on film, and only shot 20 or 30 minutes of footage from the festival. Additionally, Whitehead was supposed to do interviews with the band members, which reportedly never happened, and so the entire project was shelved.


One concert from this tour, at Edinburgh on 7 February, was postponed for 10 days owing to vocalist Robert Plant suffering a minor car accident, in which he sustained some facial injuries.

For all but one of these concerts, the band did not use any supporting act, although Barclay James Harvest did support them at the Edinburgh Usher Hall gig on 17 February. This would be a trend to continue on subsequent Led Zeppelin concert tours.


"We're Gonna Groove" (or "Groovin'" as it was originally titled) is a song written by soul artist Ben E. King and later co-credited to James Bethea. In 1964, it was released as the single B-side of King's rendition of "What Now My Love".

Although the single did not reach the record charts, critic Richie Unterberger felt that the song was one of King's best self-penned efforts.

Led Zeppelin performed "We're Gonna Groove" as the opening number during their 1970 UK and European tours. The song was proposed for Led Zeppelin II, but did not appear until the 1982 release of Coda. Jimmy Page finished the recording at his Sol Studios, after the group disbanded following the death of drummer John Bonham.
