Based on the videos I've seen, they were somewhere between OK to awful those nights.

I’ve been meaning to post this cover of the Immigrant Song. Seems like an opportunity

I just never really got into it. Some of the people I knew back then got into it. But, for some reason it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
I was a big fan, bought their albums, saw them in concert... then I saw The Song Remains the Same movie and concluded that they were all about as boring as it gets. Never had any interest in them after watching that.
Zeppelin and Sabbath had similar trajectories ..one of them being both bands shone live for the first few years and then struggled to recreate the recordings by around the same time:1972. Another freeper above mentioned their distaste with the Song Remains the Same film...I agree it’s awful especially vocally. Neither Ozzy or Plant could sing high live by then any longer. Must have been frustrating for them to reach that high and miss.
Saw their second to last concert in Nuremberg Germany, Bonham passed out going into the 4th song, concert got rescheduled but he died a month or two later
Was there on the fourth. Opening chords of Stairway were my last memory...
I liked LZ studio albums but I always thought their live stuff sucked.
That is until I saw the 2012 O2 concert “Celebration Day”.
Amazing!
The finest drummer in the history of rock, in his finest performance.
Legendary.

I went to the No Quarter concerts in Portland, Tacoma and the Gorge. The BEST concerts in my life!
Wow Bonham looked physically in worst shape than even Keith Moon when he went two years prior.
Peruse later. I grew up with them, because of my little sister.
My number one band. I’ve watched dozens of videos and think they were awesome live in the early 1970s. Pretty amazing considering they are just three musicians and a singer. Late 70s though, Page’s drug use began to show. I play guitar and after trying to pick up so much of their material I’ve become to appreciate what they did.
