Fear of a lawsuit by Eva von Zeppelin (relative of airship inventor Ferdinand von Zeppelin) caused Led Zeppelin to temporarily change its name to the Nobs for a 2/28/70 concert in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Danish woman threatened to sue if Zep performed in the country under its real name.

Led Zeppelin's album cover met an interesting protest when, at a February 28, 1970 gig in Copenhagen, the band was billed as "The Nobs" as the result of a threat of legal action from aristocrat Eva von Zeppelin (relative of the namesake creator of the Zeppelin aircraft), who, upon seeing the logo of the Hindenburg crashing in flames, threatened to have the show pulled off the air.[17]
