    It is definitely Vienna, easy to recognise by the licence numbers (starting with the letter "W" for Wien). Unfortunately,  the exact location isn´t clear to me as Robert´s head/hair is obscuring an important part of the background. Most likely (90% certainty) the location is Rechte Wienzeile, 4th or 5th district, towards 1st district downtown. On the leftside one can see some building cranes for the construction of the tube/subway at Karlsplatz.

    Btw, Robert´s clothes make me furious. The 16th of March 1973 was a cold day in Vienna: daily highs 7 centigrade/ 44 f, morning & evening temperature around 2 centigrade/ 35 f. No wonder his voice was in terrible shape a few hours later.

    Actually, his voice was shot since January and dressing like he did on such a cold day wasn´t very bright. Obviously, he couldn´t care less.

    Very informative. Plant is not bare-chested at least. Check out pics of him like so at Chicago's O'Hare Airport in 1975 and backstage prior to the Bath Festival in 1970. During the former he caught a nasty case of the flu which hampered the early gigs.

    The April 30 Pontiac Silverdome gig is one of my favourite 1977 shows. Since this year was the 45th anniversary of the show, I have been listening and reading about the show. I thought everything had already been said about Pontiac but then I found this article in which it is revealed that former Detroit Tiger/LA Dodger legend Kirk Gibson was part of the stage security crew at the show along with his Michigan State teammates! Holy crap...how has no one mentioned this before now?

    Gibson pushed Eckersley off the barricades.
