  1. This question might have been answered elsewhere but I can't seem to find an answer. 

    Led Zeppelin's last Toronto show was in 1971 and the city was never scheduled again.  I heard rumours there was some legal trouble waiting if they ever stepped back into Ontario.  This sounds plausible by looking at the issues Keith Richards, Lemmy and Jimi Hendrix had in Ontario but doesn't explain why the members came back after 1980.  I also heard that the band was so upset by the audience at the last show they vowed never to return.  Every tour after '71 the band returned to Vancouver and Montreal but avoided one of the largest Canadian markets which is relatively close to Montreal, Buffalo and Detroit.

    Anyone have the scoop on this?

  2. There was also a custom re-theme of a 70s pinball recently for anyone interested.  The art package is quite interesting and overall well done.

    For anyone interested, there is also a 10 min podcast on the Stern website (you need to log in) where they discuss the difficulties they had with branding guidelines and the lack of general colour in the Zeppelin catalogue which is why everything was centred around the Electric Magic poster.  I am not a fan of the cabinet artwork but I guess they did the best they could work with. 

     

  3. Are there any photos of Led Zeppelin's later stage setup that are not concert shots?

    For example, there is a clean picture of The Who's stage set up but I can't seem to find something similar for Zeppelin.
