Encyclopedia
Tour Over Europe 1980 was the last concert tour by the English
rock
band
Led Zeppelin
. The tour commenced on June 17 and concluded on July 7, 1980. Ten of the shows on the tour took place in cities throughout Germany
, as well as one show each in Brussels
, Rotterdam
, Vienna
and Zürich
.
almost a year before. Singer Robert Plant
was reluctant to tour the United States
, and the band wanted to avoid some of the negative press attention which had dogged them in the United Kingdom
, so as a compromise Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant decided to schedule a short European tour. He hoped that being on the road again would rejuvenate Plant's enthusiasm for touring, which would eventually lead to the band's return to the U.S.
The band performed rehearsals for the tour at the Rainbow Theatre and Victoria Theatre
in London, and then at Shepperton Studios
, Middlesex
.
During this tour the band played small venues with a scaled down PA
and a modest stage and lighting setup. As such, it had a much more low-key feel than had been witnessed on recent tours. The set list was also shorter at approximately two hours in duration, with some of the band's lengthier songs such as "No Quarter
" and "Moby Dick" being discarded. A limited amount of material from the band's most recent album In Through the Out Door
, was also performed. The set for these concerts opened with "Train Kept A-Rollin'
" which had not been a regular feature of their live sets since 1969. Press coverage of this concert tour was minimal.
Generally speaking, there was a playful and generous spirit about the tour, with guitarist Jimmy Page
even handling some of the stage introductions himself for the first time in the band's twelve year career. However, some on-stage problems were also experienced. The June 26th show at Vienna
was interrupted during "White Summer
", as Page was hit in the face by a firecracker
. The organizer stepped up and talked to the audience, and asked the person responsible to come to the stage to have a word with him. After a delay, the band returned to play "Kashmir
" and finish the show. The June 27th show at Nuremberg
came to an abrupt end after the third song when John Bonham collapsed on stage and was rushed to a hospital. Press speculation arose that Bonham's problem was caused by an excess of alcohol and drugs, but the band claimed that he had simply overeaten.
The poster of the tour announced a second concert at Berlin, on July 8, but this show was never performed. The final full-length concert Led Zeppelin played until 2007 was on July 7, with "Whole Lotta Love
" being the final song performed at this gig.
In an interview, bass player John Paul Jones
recalled of this tour:
on a 26-disc box set, and as separate releases during 1996 and 1997. Most of the shows are complete and are sourced from soundboard recordings; just the Rotterdam
show is missing the first four songs and the Vienna and Munich shows are sourced from audience recordings. There is, however, a complete audience recording of the Rotterdam show in existence.
