DavidZoso Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 This is the show where police tear-gassed the audience, causing the event to turn into a massive riot. Several people, including members of the band's entourage, were injured, and the stage itself was seemingly destroyed while the band locked up in their dressing room. I dedicate this show to MissMelanie as she was born on this day.

Texas Melanie Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 This is so very cool!! These photos just crack me up. Don't get me wrong when I say they looked like a pack of dorks at this concert and in these photos. What were Led Zeppelin doing the day I was born? Trying to have a kick a@@ concert, only to have it end early as they run for their lives from pepper spray caused by the Italian police creating a riot with the audience. Jimmy, plaid pants? Really? You could have dressed up a bit more for this special day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucaCava94 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Thank you so much, I'm Italian and I'm still angry with those people who changed that concert into a riot... usually Italians are stupid, when Ian Peace came here with Deep Purple came here in roder to record some songs of "who do you think we are" they stole his cymbals XDD and when Page and Plant came here to sing during the "festival di sanremo" in '98 the had to play in playback... and the announcer said somethink like "thank you Page and Pange" XDDD Yes, Italians are stupid, definitely.

The Only Way To Fly Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 with all of those photographers behind the band I'm surprised there aren't more photo's from this gig... in addition you'd think one of those guys would have brought an 8mm along with them. That would be amazing! thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Only Way To Fly Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Is that Richard Cole Plant's talking to? With all those people on the stage & the ensuing trouble; you think he's saying something like "get those fuckin people off my stage" while Bonzo relaxes with a beer. Love it!

Kareem Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The band obviously did a press conference during their stay in Milan. Has there ever been any audio recording found from this or any other press conferences? ( Besides the commonly known NY 70 and Aussie 72,that is).

JuliaFinch Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I just feel ashamed of my place...I've never been to that damn place, but it's good cause it makes me sad. Look at the pictures and it seems to be at war! That's a shame, obviously they didn't understand it was the biggest occasion of all the times. Please, don't blame me, it couldn't be my fault.

aen27 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Jimmy was so upset and angry by this that that's why Led Zep never played Italy again. My aunt and I were actually just talking about this show yesteday. I was showing her Jimmy's book. Thanks for the great pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 A month and a half later in Vancouver, the same thing could easily have happened. There were a few incidents that night, outside of the doors being crashed and stage being torn apart, that could have sparked some real trouble between the crowd and the law. One in particular when a guy managed to get on stage with a big bottle of wine . Robert stopped the handlers from throwing the guy off the stage and proceeded to take a sip out of the bottle while the band played on. The guy graciously climbed off the stage and all was well . It was a wonderful piece of crowd control on the bands part. Robert in particular. No doubt lessons were learned by the Milan experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Only Way To Fly Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 All those people on the scaffolding and all the trouble....
