How the West Was Won is a triple live album by Led Zeppelin, released by Atlantic Records on CD May 27, 2003 and DVD-Audio on October 20, 2003. These original performances are from the 1972 concert tour of the United States, recorded at the L.A. Forum on June 25 and Long Beach Arena on June 27. Guitarist Jimmy Page considers Led Zeppelin at this point to have been at their artistic peak, as mentioned on the liner notes.
The album was #1 on debut on the Billboard's Pop Albums chart, becoming the first Led Zeppelin album since 1979's In Through the Out Door to reach that position.
