Far Out reports that Led Zeppelin performed ‘Custard Pie’ live only once during the band’s original career, at a 1975 Rotterdam concert shortly before *Physical Graffiti* was released. The article suggests the song’s overt sexual innuendo may have made it unsuitable for the group’s set, though it presents this as speculation rather than an established reason.

‘Custard Pie’ opened the 1975 double album and drew on older blues songs, but its title and lyrics have been criticised for dated attitudes towards sex. Led Zeppelin also played new album tracks including ‘Kashmir’ in Rotterdam; ‘Custard Pie’ was then removed from the set, although surviving members later briefly revisited it at Jason Bonham’s wedding.
