Скачать или смотреть The Story of Merriweather Post Pavilion: Designed by Frank Gehry, Consecrated by Led Zeppelin

Take a deep dive into the incredible story of Merriweather Post Pavilion—a cultural landmark dreamt up by visionary developer James Rouse and designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry. From its rainy opening night in 1967 with the National Symphony Orchestra, to the only time Led Zeppelin and The Who ever shared a bill, Merriweather has hosted some of the most unforgettable nights in music.

This video also explores the grassroots fight to save the venue from demolition, led by community members who believed its best days were still ahead.
