Years ago, I was once told that the band was to play at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, CA but the show was canceled when Bonham passed away. True?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swan Song announced plans for a 33 date US tour on July 7th 1975; it would have included a performance at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Sat, Sept. 6th. However, as a consequence of Robert Plant's car crash on Aug 4th their rehearsals (to have taken place in France from Aug 10-20) were cancelled while all touring was postponed (and ultimately cancelled).

These dates were announced for the ill-fated first leg of the 1980 North American tour:

Oct 17 80 Montreal, Canada The Forum

Oct 19 80 Landover, MD USA Capitol Centre

Oct 21 80 Landover, MD USA Capitol Centre

Oct 22 80 Philadelphia, PA USA Spectrum

Oct 23 80 Landover, MD USA Capitol Centre

Oct 26 80 Richfield, OH USA Richfield Coliseum

Oct 27 80 Richfield, OH USA Richfield Coliseum

Oct 29 80 Detroit, MI USA Joe Louis Sports Arena

Oct 30 80 Detroit, MI USA Joe Louis Sports Arena

Nov 1 80 Buffalo, NY USA War Memorial Auditorium

Nov 3 80 Philadelphia, PA USA Spectrum

Nov 4 80 Philadelphia, PA USA Spectrum

Nov 6 80 Pittsburgh, PA USA Civic Arena

Nov 7 80 Pittsburgh, PA USA Civic Arena

Nov 9 80 St. Paul, MN USA Civic Center

Nov 10 80 Chicago, IL USA Chicago Stadium

Nov 12 80 Chicago, IL USA Chicago Stadium

Nov 13 80 Chicago, IL USA Chicago Stadium

Nov 15 80 Chicago, IL USA Chicago Stadium

And if I remember my advertisement history correctly, Whitesnake was going to be the opening act on that tour. How ironic.
