The Nobs?? Temporary name of Led Zeppelin

On February 28, 1970, during Led Zeppelin's European Tour, the had to use the name "The Nobs" for their Copenhagen show.

Countess Frau Eva von Zeppelin, grandchild from Count Ferdinand Adolf Heinrich August Graf von Zeppelin, felt that the band's use of the name was insulting and dishonoured her family; hence, she threatened to sue Led Zeppelin for illegal use of her family name. The band invited her to meet with them in a cordial meeting. However, when she saw the band's album cover showing the Hindemburg burning in flames she exploited again. Therefore, the band had to use a temporary name. It was decided to use "The Nobs", as a kind of recognition to their European tour manager Claude Nobs.
