Program Change: Classic Albums Live performs "Led Zeppelin IV"
Miller Outdoor Theatre, 6000 Hermann Park Dr, Houston, TX, USAbout the performance: "Classic Albums Live returns to the Miller stage to recreate note for note, cut for cut, an incredible album featuring some of Led Zeppelin’s most beloved and recognizable recordings. Sing along with your favorite songs such as Rock and Roll, When the Levee Breaks, and of course, Stairway to Heaven.
"Led Zeppelin IV is an album full of experimentation from the way it was recorded to the variety of arrangements. As the best-selling album of one of the best-selling bands, it sold over 37 million copies world-wide and is considered one of the greatest albums of all time."
NOTE: This is a program change from the original show, a recreation of "Hotel California" by the Eagles. The change was due to logistical issues.

WHERE TO MEET: We will meet at 7 p.m. by the picnic tables near the concession stand. Then go to the hill and set up. If you can't make it at 7 p.m., we'll hold some space. Look for our location in the comments. The concert starts at 8 p.m.
The hill is divided with the left side allowing chairs and the right reserved for blankets. We sit on the chair side, but close enough to the middle to accommodate blankets.
WHAT TO BRING:
Chair or blanket, drinks and snacks. Blankets may have the view obstructed by chairs. Adult beverages are allowed but the city prohibits glass containers in the park. (We don't check.) It's always more fun when people bring snacks to share.Parking:
There are two main parking areas for Miller.
The Zoo lot has more spaces
Parking Lot F
