Whether you are old enough to remember when Led Zeppelin was touring and cutting their classic LPs or you have "discovered" them more recently, the band is undoubtedly one of the greatest of all time. Thanks to Stern Pinball, Inc., you can rock out while playing a terrific pinball game. In this high energy rock and roll pinball concert experience, pinball and music are fused together. Players are transported back to Led Zeppelin’s early days and tour the world from 1968-1980.

  • Rock and Roll
  • Trampled Under Foot
