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.

DeleteI 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.
