SteveAJones Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) Years ago, I was once told that the band was to play at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, CA but the show was canceled when Bonham passed away. True? Swan Song announced plans for a 33 date US tour on July 7th 1975; it would have included a performance at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Sat, Sept. 6th. However, as a consequence of Robert Plant's car crash on Aug 4th their rehearsals (to have taken place in France from Aug 10-20) were cancelled while all touring was postponed (and ultimately cancelled). These dates were announced for the ill-fated first leg of the 1980 North American tour: Oct 17 80Montreal, CanadaThe ForumOct 19 80Landover, MD USACapitol Centre Oct 21 80Landover, MD USACapitol Centre Oct 22 80Philadelphia, PA USASpectrumOct 23 80Landover, MD USACapitol Centre Oct 26 80Richfield, OH USARichfield ColiseumOct 27 80Richfield, OH USARichfield ColiseumOct 29 80Detroit, MI USAJoe Louis Sports Arena Oct 30 80Detroit, MI USAJoe Louis Sports Arena Nov 1 80Buffalo, NY USAWar Memorial AuditoriumNov 3 80Philadelphia, PA USASpectrumNov 4 80Philadelphia, PA USASpectrumNov 6 80Pittsburgh, PA USACivic ArenaNov 7 80Pittsburgh, PA USACivic ArenaNov 9 80St. Paul, MN USACivic CenterNov 10 80Chicago, IL USAChicago StadiumNov 12 80Chicago, IL USAChicago StadiumNov 13 80Chicago, IL USAChicago StadiumNov 15 80Chicago, IL USAChicago Stadium Edited November 22, 2007 by SteveAJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
