Metropolitan Sports Arena
Bloomington, MN
Photo taken on December 13, 2012
The Met Center was an indoor arena that formerly stood in Bloomington, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The arena, which was completed in 1967, seated 15,000. It was home to the Minnesota North Stars of the NHL from 1967-1993 and ABAs Minnesota Muskies. The Muskies played just one season, before moving to Miami. They were replaced by the Minnesota Pipers, who also played only one season. The MISL Minnesota Strikers played indoor soccer at the Met Center from 1984-1988. The Boys High School Hockey Tournament was also held there. For its first 15 years, it was known as the Metropolitan Sports Center; the shorter name was adopted in 1982.
The Met Center was considered to be one of the finest arenas in the NHL for many years, both for its sightlines, and its ice surface. Among NHL players, the Met was known for fast ice, the best lighting, great locker rooms and training facilities. The Met never boasted fancy amenities, and by comparison to modern arenas it had cramped concourses, no luxury suites, and very few frills. As a sports facility, it could best be described as utilitarian, a theme which repeats itself in most Minnesota sports facilities built before 1988 (such as the Metrodome).
The Met Center was demolished in 1994 after the North Stars moved to Dallas, Texas, becoming the Dallas Stars. Three attempts were made to undertake a controlled implosion of the building, but none was sufficient to bring it down. As a result, the arena had to be demolished using the usual heavy equipment.
For several years after the arena was demolished, the property served as an overflow lot for the Mall of America. In 2004, an IKEA store opened on the west end of the property, and the new American Boulevard was rerouted through the east end of the property. The remainder of the site is planned long-term to become the site of Mall of America Phase II, of which the IKEA would be an anchor store.

I'm guessing this is the first American tour because of the Transonic speaker cabinets
It's from the January 2-5, 1969 Whisky shows.

This event occured on February 13, 1992 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami. Unfortunately, there are no photographs or recordings known to be in circulation.
Oh, there's a specific date? I thought last time that this was posted on, it was undetermined the exact date, either the 12th or 13th...

Yes.
Mick Farren of The Deviants recalls this hilarious evening:"We supported Led Zeppelin at one of their first gigs at the local Bristol boxing club and the audience hated us and despised them. Somebody threw a beer glass at the stage and Sid Bishop, our guitarist, unfortunately threw it back and cut somebody's head open. When Led Zeppelin came on, they got through number and a half until the fire extinguishers, buckets, bricks and everything was being thrown at them.
All these farmboys with brown suits and haircuts who had come into town looking to get laid marched in. Page and Plant were cracking up in the dressing room after we'd come off, saying how terrible we were. But they had gotten the same treatment because by now it had gotten way out of hand. We had to huddle inside the van while the kids bounced up and down on it and we didn't escape until 2 in the morning when it was safe to go home.

Probably, but there must be some reason why it was only played on the 1977 tour.

Jimmy has said he did have fleeting thoughts of bringing in a second guitarist mid-70s, but I seriously doubt it led to a proper audition for anyone...it could have been a jam of sort. In Nov/Dec '74 Mike Corby of The Baby's jammed with Zeppelin in rehearsals on and off for about ten days, but that had more to do with Jimmy wanting to purchase Corby's original three-pickup Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty (which Corby reluctantly did sell to Jimmy for 1,000 pounds) and nothing to do with bringing in a second guitarist.
It wasn't a Black Beauty that Corby sold, it was the other red Les Paul that was only seen in 1977.
