Wait, do you remember how much the tickets were for the '77 Forum shows

So..... 14 LED ZEPPELIN SHOWS!!!!!

... Every Forum show. The lucky duck

Yeah... the band were definently the best during 1972. It's my favourite year.

Well, there wouldn't have been many dark times. Jimmy would probably not do drugs, and maybe Robert's son wouldn't have died.

Oh. I thought a David Bowie concert in '78 drew like 30,000 people.

Probably yes. Because there probably wouldn't have been the Oakland incident the next year...

Celebraton Day (the album)

I went to go see them in Auckland

December 26th, 1968 - Denver

One thing is for sure, if that blasted tree hadn't grown, Led Zeppelin would probably still be a band

I'm gonna play the role of fan fiction and try and come up with a reasonable itinerary for the cancelled North American leg. (1) August 23rd - Oakland, CA, USA - Oakland Coliseum (Day On The Green #4) (2) August 24th - Oakland, CA, USA - Oakland Coliseum (Day On The Green #5) (3) August 27th - Tempe, AZ, USA - Sun Devil Stadium (4) August 29th - Kansas City, MO, USA - Arrowhead Stadium (5) August 31st - Atlanta, GA, USA - Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium (6) September 1st - Tampa, FL, USA - Tampa Stadium (7) September 2nd - Louisville, KY, USA - Kentucky Fairgrounds Stadium (8) September 4th - New Orleans, LA, USA - Louisiana Superdome (9) September 6th - Pasadena, CA, USA - Rose Bowl (10) September 8th - Denver, CO, USA - Mile High Stadium (11) September 9th - Norman, OK, USA - Lloyd Noble Center (12) September 11th - Birmingham, AL, USA - BJCC Coliseum (13) September 12th - Jacksonville, FL, USA - Veterans Memorial Arena (14) September 14th - Baltimore, MD, USA - Baltimore Civic Center (15) September 15th - Providence, RI, USA - Providence Civic Center (since the band were banned from playing Boston, they organized this gig for everybody who had a ticket to come see them here) (16) September 16th - New Haven, CT, USA - New Haven Coliseum (17) September 18th - Buffalo, NY, USA - Buffalo Memorial Auditorium (18) September 19th - Philadelphia, PA, USA - The Spectrum (19) September 20th - Philadelphia, PA, USA - The Spectrum (20) September 22nd - New York City, NY, USA - Shea Stadium (21) September 24th - Pittsburgh, PA, USA - Three Rivers Stadium (22) September 25th - Cincinnati, OH, USA - Riverfront Coliseum (23) September 26th - Columbus, OH, USA - St. John Arena (24) September 28th - Detroit, MI, USA - Olympia Stadium (25) September 29th - Toronto, ON, Canada - Maple Leaf Gardens (26) October 1st - Montreal, QC, Canada - Montreal Forum (27) October 2nd - Toronto, ON, Canada - Maple Leaf Garden (28) October 4th - Chicago, IL, USA - Chicago Stadium (29) October 6th - St. Paul, MN, USA - Saint Paul Civic Center (30) October 7th - Milwaukee, WI, USA - Milwaukee Arena (31) October 9th - Salt Lake City, UT, USA - Salt Palace (32) October 10th - Albuquerque, NM, USA - University Arena (33) October 13th - Edmonton, AB, Canada - Northlands Coliseum If you think there should be some dates that should be replaced please tell me

Still, I think they would've chosen a Philadelphia date over Pittsburgh. Also, the Pittsburgh Civic Arena was very flexible, and could take up to 30,000 people. Knowing Led Zeppelin, they maybe would've performed to 25,000 people.

Not so sure about Pittsburgh.... They'd already performed 2 nights there at the Civic Arena.

I think the setlist might've been something like this 1. Rock And Roll 2. Sick Again 3. Over The Hills And Far Away 4. In My Time Of Dying 5. Since I've Been Loving You 6. The Song Remains The Same 7. The Rain Song 8. The Wanton Song 9. Kashmir 10. No Quarter 11. Ten Years Gone 12. Trampled Under Foot 13. Moby Dick 14. Dazed And Confused (w/ Woodstock/San Francisco) 15. Stairway To Heaven ENCORE 16. Whole Lotta Love 17. Black Dog Going To California maybe could've been added for the Oakland/Pasadena shows. Then they would've probably performed Heartbreaker or Communication Breakdown on certain ocassions. Also, it's said that there were supposed to be 33 dates for the intenairy. I think they'd put in some dates for Toronto/Detroit area, maybe some more in the Ohio area, the South maybe. It would've been a really succesful tour in terms of financial gross and attendance. For the Far East Tour, they inteniary would've been similar to the 1972 Australian shows.... Deep Purple had announced shows in Jakarta for December 1975, so LZ may have opted for shows in Singapore/Indonesia area. European Winter Tour - A date in Helsinki probably means dates in Scandinavia and probably Germany. They'd already performed in the Netherlands and Belgium as warm-up gigs for the tour, so they'd probably leave those cities til' last. Japanese Tour - Probably just big cities like Tokyo and Osaka. I've heard that they were also planning on doing a British tour in 1976, along with shows in South America. The British Tour probably would've been in around January, and it wouldn't have been too big. Probably just concert halls in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff... maybe some other big cities. But I mean, they'd just played Earls Court so.... For South American shows though, not very many bands had come to the region. The Rolling Stones were supposed to perform in Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela, but those were cancelled. If this did go as planned, there would've been many riots. So probably not the safest decision to perform in the region. After they'd complete the tour, they would've worked on Presence and The Song Remains The Same. Screw that tree.

.... Nevermind then

Who here likes Queen?

The offical capacity was around 10 to 15,000 during the 70's/80's. It's been reduced to 5,000. There may as well have been 25,000 people at Melbourne.

I just recently went to see Queen in Auckland. I thought there were what 35 to 40,000 people there. Turns out there was on 27,000. I think it's a pretty good example of the More Than Meets The Eye thing. Although, the venue was very flexible, so there could've been about 20 to 30,000 people but I'm not so sure.

Not very many bands performed in East Asia apart from Japan. Deep Purple were one of the first, and performed in Jakarta in 1975. However, it turned out into this big scandal thingy ma jig. And then nobody really performed there until like the 90's.

Does anybody have any tickets from the cancelled Singapore show?

Thanks!!

I did prefer the renditions of How Many More Times though...

I'm pretty sure the last two were taken during their show at the Sydney Showground... The first one I'm not so sure. But it's quite funny when you think about. The stage is just basically a long wooden platform, with amps and the ocassional lights.

Damn man, where do you get all your information from?
