Led Zeppelin 's 1977 North American Tour  was the eleventh and final concert tour  of North America by the English rock  band . The tour was divided into three legs, with performances commencing on 1 April and concluding on 24 July 1977. The tour was originally intended to finish on 13 August, but was cut short following the death of Robert Plant 's son.

 

Overview [ edit ]

This was the first tour embarked on by the band following their enforced lay-off caused by Plant's car accident in Greece in 1975. During this sabbatical, the band had recorded their seventh studio album, Presence . Rehearsals for the tour eventually took place at Manticore Studios, Fulham  in early 1977, where the band worked for two months on a new set list.[1]

Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant  conceived this series of concerts as an effort that would reassert Led Zeppelin as the dominant band of the decade.[2]  Fifty one concerts were scheduled over a three-leg period, for 1.3 million ticket holders. It was Led Zeppelin's biggest ever tour, and tickets sold at a rate of 72,000 a day.[3]

The tour was scheduled to commence on 27 February at Fort Worth, Texas , but Plant contracted laryngitis  and the schedule was postponed for a month.[4]  It eventually kicked off on 1 April, at the Dallas Memorial Auditorium  in Dallas .[5]  The delay reduced the amount of time the band had available to rehearse, since all their equipment had already been airlifted to America. As guitarist Jimmy Page  explained:

We didn't have any instruments for a month. All the equipment was shipped over there five days before we were due to go. I didn't play a guitar for a month. I was terrified at the prospect of the first few shows.[4]

Led Zeppelin's 1977 North American Tour was a massive financial success, as the band sold out large arenas and stadiums. On 30 April they performed to 76,229 people at the Pontiac Silverdome  a new world record attendance for a solo indoor attraction, beating the 75,962 that The Who  attracted there on 6 December 1975 for Opening Night, and grossed $792,361.50 (also a record breaker).[4] [6] [7]  Lengthy stints were spent in New York City and Los Angeles, where the band performed six sold-out shows each at Madison Square Garden  and the Los Angeles Forum . In New York, the band did not advertise the concerts, relying solely on street demand to sell out the shows; enough ticket applications were received to sell out a further two nights had time permitted.

Dave Lewis, an expert on the band, considers that this tour,

For the tour, the band chartered Caesar's Chariot , a 45-seat Boeing 707  owned by the Caesars Palace  Hotel in Las Vegas , to shuttle them between cities. This plane should not be confused with the more famous Starship , which had been used by the band on its previous two concert stints in North America, but which was permanently grounded in 1977 due to engine problems.[8]

For many of the concerts on this tour, Jimmy Page chose to wear a striking custom-made white silk dragon suit or as it was known as the "Poppy White Dragon Suit", as is captured in several famous photographs of the band. It was also on this tour that John Paul Jones introduced a custom triple-necked acoustic instrument which contained a mandolin , twelve-string guitar  and six-string guitar . He used this instrument on "Ten Years Gone " and the acoustic portion of the setlist.

Problems experienced [ edit ]

Though profitable financially, the tour was beset with difficulties. On 19 April, over 70 persons were arrested as about 1,000 ticketless fans tried to gatecrash Cincinnati Riverfront Coliseum  for two sold out festival seating /general admission  concerts while some gained entry by throwing rocks and bottles through glass entrance doors and some wall height, all-glass panes surrounding the outermost perimeter of the arena. On 3 June, after an open-air concert  at Tampa Stadium  was cut short because of a severe thunderstorm, a riot broke out amongst the audience, resulting in 19 arrests and 50 fans being injured.[4]  Police ultimately resorted to  tear gas  to break up the crowd.[9] [10]  Guitarist Jimmy Page 's ongoing heroin addiction also caused him to lose a noticeable amount of weight on this tour, and arguably began to hamper his on-stage playing performances.[2] [4] [11]  During a performance in Chicago  on 9 April, Page fell ill and needed to sit in a chair to play "Ten Years Gone " before leaving the stage with severe stomach cramps. The show was concluded after only sixty-five minutes, with Page's illness later being attributed to a case of food poisoning ; shortly thereafter, a makeup concert was scheduled for 3 August on the final leg of the tour.[11] [12]  The Greensboro, North Carolina show began one hour late, with Plant stating, "Sorry, we left somebody in New York."

The tour also experienced some unsavory backstage problems, exacerbated by the hiring of London gangster John Bindon  as Led Zeppelin's security coordinator. After a 23 July show[13]  at the "Day on the Green " festival at Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum  in Oakland, California , Bindon, band manager Peter Grant, tour manager Richard Cole, and band member John Bonham were arrested after a member of promoter Bill Graham 's staff was beaten after the performance. Graham's security man Jim Matzorkis had assaulted Peter Grant's 11-year-old son Warren for allegedly taking a dressing room sign.[14]  This was seen by Bonham, who then walked over and kicked the man. Later, when Grant heard about this, he went into the trailer, along with Bindon and assaulted the man with tour manager Richard Cole  guarding the door. Bindon had stated he was provoked by members of Graham's crew prior to the incident.[15]

Led Zeppelin's second Oakland show took place only after Bill Graham signed a letter of indemnification  absolving Led Zeppelin from responsibility for the previous night's incident. However, Graham refused to honour the letter and assault charges were laid against Grant, Cole, Bindon, and Bonham when the band arrived back at their hotel. The four received bail, whereupon a suit was filed against them by Graham for $2 million.[3] [16]  All four pleaded nolo contendere , receiving suspended sentences and fines.[3]

The following day's second Oakland concert[17]  would prove to be the band's final live appearance in the United States. After the performance, news came that Plant's five-year-old son, Karac, had died from a stomach virus. The rest of the tour (including the Chicago Stadium makeup show and seven additional concerts scheduled through August 13 at the Louisiana Superdome , Rich Stadium , Buffalo Memorial Auditorium , Pittsburgh Civic Arena  and  John F. Kennedy Stadium ) was immediately cancelled.[18]

In recent years, Plant has reflected on the negative dynamics which increasingly became evident as the 1977 tour progressed:

By 1977, I was 29, just prior to Karac's passing, and that sort of wild energy that was there in the beginning had come to the point where we were showboating a bit. Unfortunately, we had no choice. We were on tours where places were going ape-shit. There was no way of containing the energy in those buildings. It was insane. And we became more and more victims of our own success. And the whole deal about the goldfish bowl and living in it, that kicked in.[19]

According to Jack Calmes, the head of Showco  (the company that had provided lights, sound, staging, and logistics for the band's American tours since 1973):

There was an extraordinary amount of tension at the start of that tour ... It just got off to a negative start. It was definitely much darker than any [Led] Zeppelin tour ever before that time ... The kind of people they had around them had deepened into some really criminal types. I think Richard Cole and perhaps some of the band and everybody around the band was so far into drugs at that point, that the drugs turned on them. They still had their moments of greatness (but) some of the shows were grinding and not very inspired ... The Bindon brothers were the thugs that were friends of Peter Grant's and were on this whole tour as security guards. And they kind of brought an element of darkness into this thing.[7]

Recordings [ edit ]

At least three indoor concerts from this tour (at Pontiac  on 30 April, Houston  on 21 May and Seattle  on 17 July) were professionally shot by the TV International company for the band and projected live on to a giant video screen.[4]  None of these performances have been officially released, and to date, only the Seattle video and audio of the Houston show have been made available on unofficial Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings . Producer Jimmy Page  was unable to locate multi-track sound recordings from any 1977 shows, and it is unknown if any exist. However, portions of the Seattle video (minus audio) were used to promote the Led Zeppelin Remasters  release in 1990 and some were aired as part of the special MTV  Led Zeppelin documentary. In addition, parts were included in the 1997 "Whole Lotta Love " promo.[4]

Audio recordings from many of the tour's shows have been preserved on unofficial bootleg recordings. Notable bootlegs from this tour include Destroyer  (the soundboard recording  from Cleveland on 27 April), Listen to This Eddie  (an audience recording from Los Angeles on 21 June) and For Badgeholders Only  (an audience recording from Los Angeles on 23 June).

The second disc of the Led Zeppelin DVD  contains semi-hidden bootleg footage from the show at the Los Angeles Forum (under the promos menu). The menu background audio features the complete opening number from the 21 June 1977 show ("The Song Remains the Same ") with visuals bootlegged from various shows on the 1977 tour.[20]

Tour set list [ edit ]

The set list  played on this tour included an acoustic section, which had originally been revived by the band at their previous concerts  at Earls Court Arena  in 1975 and was retained for the 1977 concerts due to the lingering effects of Plant's injuries. Technically, only two songs from their most recent album, Presence  (1976), were performed: "Nobody's Fault but Mine " and "Achilles Last Stand ", although parts of the solo from "Tea for One " would be incorporated by Page during the solo of "Since I've Been Loving You ".

*The band performed "In My Time of Dying" during the 1st leg and the first half of the 2nd leg, while they switched to "Over the Hills and Far Away" for the second half of the 2nd leg and for the 3rd leg, although "In My Time of Dying" appeared a few times on the final shows of the 2nd leg.
