The LAST Led Zeppelin tour, a short 4 or 5 country European Tour, has been highly over looked and I'm not even sure there's a pro shot of any of the shows. Here's some Film footage of those last ever few shows - John Bonham would be dead a few months later (Opening song was TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN' and IN THE EVENING, HOT DOG, and ALL MY LOVE from "In Through The Out Door " were played).

AMAZING CLOSE UP FOOTAGE ON THE NEXT 2 - LA FORUM, Live 3/24/75

PART ONE




PART TWO




I'll try and find some more high quality (for super 8) footage - leave a comment por favor....

When I first heard the Boot of the audio recording (Germany 1080) I didn't like what I heard, probably the quality. And If I recal the keyboards were more piano than organ. John Paul tried a little something different.

...Oh yes, I love the '75 stuff! I was there, for all the LA Forum shows! Including that final show, last of the leg of the tour...about a four hour show.

I would love to have the 80 shows on cd. Anyone know where I could get them? Esp In the Evening, All of My Love....

I have a CD of a show from 80, (Germany) downloaded it years ago in the old Napster days. not the best quality, I have to look for it. If I find it, may take a week or two, I will post here on this thread (that I have it).

I did find a collection of 14 songs from Vienna, 1980. Better quality than the Germany show I have.

There are some soundboards available from 1980 - Zurich 29th June and Berlin 7th July (last concert) are two definites.

very cool footage from LA 75...I saw LZ 2 weeks earlier in Long Beach...I've posted a few shots on my website from their 3/11/75 gig....100's of more images to be uploaded in the near future...looking for anything from LB....peter....www.peterstupar.com

Plant's voice was shut in Zürich! Great footage.

Thanks HelterSkelter! I've never seen any footage from the 1980 Tour Over Europe before. I have many of the shows on CD but to see them for the first time is too cool. It really was a scaled down tour, wasn't it? Well, at least in regards to Zeppelin.

Yeah, I think this was a transitional period for the group, Scaled down tour, IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR (IMO probably their weakest album) being very keyboard heavy - kind of Jones and Plant running the show and Page (except for IN THE EVENING and I'M GONNA CRAWL) pushed way back. Would have been very interesting to see what their next move was gonna be because they just seemed to be getting somewhat off track. With Bonham's death we never found out how the band would have dealt with the 80's which would have been very interesting.... Oh well, what can you do??? Wish there was a lot more pro footage - really sparse coverage for a band as big as they were....

Yeah, Led Zep in the 80s would've been interesting. But I'm guessing they would be way off track, because so much of what made them Led Zeppelin was "very 70s" -- the heavy "brown" Led Paul sound, the fat production, not to mention the free form soloist style of music. It's easy to see an emerging identity crisis already by 1979. But they really managed to "cut the waffle" (as Page supposedly called it) in 1980. Listening to boots from that tour, I don't really miss the ultra long jams.
