Here's some interesting documentary footage of the Carnival of Swing concert on Randall's Island in 1938, featuring the hard-charging orchestra of Count Basie.
Update: Young men in suits and fedoras, young ladies in modest, but stylish, jackets and skirts. A little different from what I witnessed at a Led Zeppelin concert.

If you are not already aware of them, look up Big Bad Voodoo Daddy on YouTube.
I was at an LZ outdoor concert in 1970, we all dressed conservatively in jeans. I can't remember many girls being there, mostly males and a few older women. Before the 1970s rock concert culture really took off, 'heavy metal' was a bloke thing. How things changed after that.
BBVD is fantastic! Always liked them!
