Come one, come all in 2025 to see Kashmir featuring Jean Violet perform Physical Graffiti in it’s entirety!! The iconic 6th album released in 1975 is Led Zeppelin at their creative peak – with more new music than could fit on an a lbum, they opted to make Physical Graffiti their only studio double album. It was both a critical and commercial success upon release, debuting at #1 in the UK, and #3 in the US, respectively, and currently has gone 16x Platinum in the US.
Come on out and see the band perform the down and dirty blues of “In My Time of Dying”, or the melancholy and soul stirring “Ten Years Gone”, the hymn to nature “Down By The Seaside” or the grinding rhythm of their song of escape, “Night Flight”. You’ll hear the straight up rockers “Sick Again ”, “The Wanton Song” and “the Rover”, the funked up “Trampled Under Foot”, as well as the mysterious light and shade of “In The Light”. And of course you’ll hear the majestic, larger than life anthem, “Kashmir”, the song that both Plant and Page called “the bands definitive moment”, and whose lyric writing process drove Plant “virtually to tears.”
You won’t want to miss this powerful 50th Anniversary live performance of Physical Graffiti, Led Zeppelin’s highly acclaimed and wide ranging tour de force!

Daryl released his sixth solo album, D, on Virgin Music Group on June 21, co-produced by one-time Eurythmics member and fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Dave Stewart, who co-wrote seven of the nine new original songs with Hall penning the other two on his own. The first single from the album, “Can’t Say No To You” can be seen here on YouTube.
Daryl Hall has come a long way, and he’s still got plenty of mileage left in a career that’s taken him from the streets of Philadelphia to the halls of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. The best is yet to come.
