Hear are some pictures from the tour -

Oh come on...... it wasn't that bad.

That's really cool.

Yeah makes sense. I wonder what would happen if he channelled his inner KISS.... *shudder*

Was anybody here at this show?

Lol Although I'm pretty sure at one gig in LA, he switched from the Black Dragon suit to the white one.... but this is probably as far as Jimmy went. What song did he take of the sunglasses?

Although if the show opens with Achilles Last Stand... You just hear Jimmy Page's guitar introduction, no lights, and then bang. It actually sounds like it'd be quite a good opener. Where's the fan fiction?

In My Time Of Dying

WHO DOSEN'T????

Just some notes about this tour - 1) Singapore show, February 14th - this was cancelled due to the authorities banning people with long hair into their country. 2) Perth show - February 16th - during the Whole Lotta Love rock n' roll medley, many fans jumped onto the stage, and one even ripped Robert Plant's shirt. The next morning, the band were fined for charging a riot. This is probably why they never came back to Australia. 3) Adelaide show - February 19th - postponed from February 18th. CCR were playing at the Apollo Stadium that same night, and many had to choose - Led Zeppelin or CCR. 4) Melbourne show - February 20th - One word - Rain 5) Auckland show - February 25th - First show with a shaved Jimmy Page. 6) Sydney show - February 27th - The band filmed Immigrant Song for their Led Zeppelin DVD. However, the audio is not from this date. It is from either the Inglewood Forum or Long Beach Arena (both in '72) 7) Brisbane Show - February 29th - The band's last concert in Australia.

... All my questions. Thanks Strider!

Not very many people know about these shows as well as the Japanese shows that Led Zeppelin did in '71 and '72. But, in my opinion, the Australian shows are actually some of the most important in their career as a band. Why? Well, first off, it gave them an introduction to stadiums, which they played during '73 and '77 in North America, including their famous Atlanta, Tampa and Detroit shows. Heck, they played to some 80,000 people in a 50,000 seat stadium in Perth on the first night. In Sydney, they played to between 30,000 and 40,000 people. Maybe even more!!! Secondly, it proved that the band can actually rock in places that aren't just in America and Europe. Sure they played Japan just a few months before, but they were, to what, 10,000 people. They were the biggest thing to come to Australia since The Beatles in '64. They also set a record attendance for the highest attended show in New Zealand, when they played in Auckland to about 25,000 people. And that is pretty big. I'm from N.Z., and they're not the biggest rockers in the world. And imagine in 1972!!! All in all, these were definently some very important concerts in the band's career. Hear is the complete inteniary with the rounded attendance. 16th February - Perth, Australia - Subiaco Oval - 80,000 19th February - Adelaide, Australia - Memorial Drive Park - 8,000 20th February - Melbourne, Australia - Kooyong Stadium - 14,000 25th February - Auckland, New Zealand - Western Springs Stadium - 25,000 27th February - Sydney, Australia - Sydney Showground - 38,000 29th February - Brisbane, Australia - Brisbane Festival Hall - 6,000 If anyone was here, please share your story.

Oh I was reading off this - https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/led-zeppelin/1977/st-paul-civic-center-st-paul-mn-63d196f3.html

Ummm... Just scrolling through setlists, but is it true that the April 13th show opened with Achilles Last Stand??? Anyone???

Wasn't there one show in LA where Bonzo was feeling a little bit unwell?

Oh yeah! Didn't they play Communication Breakdown as an encore on June 22nd? Or maybe it was June 25th. I don't know, it was one of the LA dates. Damn, must have been really cool to go seem them there.

Oh cool! Correct me if I'm wrong, but did he change to the white dragon suit after Moby Dick?

I'm not very good at ranking the best shows but..... I think we can all agree that 7/20 in Tucson and 7/17 in Seattle were just... not very good. 22nd June L.A. - one of my absolute favourites. I think they even played Trampled Underfoot and Heartbreaker. I like April 10th. The sound was rough and raw, and Jimmy Page wearing his stormtrooper outfit made him look like an absolute god.
