Led Zeppelin's 1971 Japanese Tour was the first concert tour of Japan by the English rock band. The tour commenced on 23 September and concluded on 29 September 1971. It was one of the first tours of Japan by a western rock band.〔Lewis, Dave and Pallett, Simon (1997) ''Led Zeppelin: The Concert File'', London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 0-7119-5307-4, pp. 68-70.〕 One of the concerts from this short tour, at Hiroshima on 27 September,〔(Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary )〕 was organised as a benefit show. As an expression of thanks, the city of Hiroshima presented the band with a letter of appreciation and the city medal by the local mayor.〔 During this tour, singer Robert Plant allegedly punched drummer John Bonham before one of the shows.〔 This was not the only turbulent incident which occurred during the tour. As manager Peter Grant explained: The concerts were recorded at the insistence of the Japanese Warner Pioneer label, which was owned by the band's record company Atlantic Records. However, upon hearing the recordings guitarist Jimmy Page found the audio quality to be so inferior that he decided to wipe over the tapes and use them again.〔 ==Tour set list== The fairly typical set list for the tour was: #"Immigrant Song" (Page, Plant) #"Heartbreaker" (Bonham, Page, Plant) #"Since I've Been Loving You" (Page, Plant, Jones) #"Out on the Tiles" (intro) (Page, Plant, Bonham) / "Black Dog" (Page, Plant, Jones) #"Dazed and Confused" (Page) #"Stairway to Heaven" (Page, Plant) #"Celebration Day" (Jones, Page, Plant) #"Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" (Page, Plant, Jones) #"That's the Way" (Page, Plant) #"Going to California" (Page, Plant) #"Tangerine" (Page) #"What Is and What Should Never Be" (Page, Plant) #"Moby Dick" (Page, Jones, Bonham) #"Whole Lotta Love" (Bonham, Dixon, Jones, Page, Plant) Encores (variations of the following list): *"Thank You" (Page, Plant) *"Communication Breakdown" (Bonham, Jones, Page) *"Rock and Roll" (Page, Plant, Jones, Bonham) There were some set list substitutions, variations, and order switches during the tour. On 24 September "Your Time Is Gonna Come" was played for the only time in a "Whole Lotta Love" medley which went something like this: "Whole Lotta Love"/"Boogie Chillen"/Cocaine Blues"/"Rave On!"/"Your Time Is Gonna Come"/"I'm A Man"/"The Hunter"/"Hello Mary Lou/"Oh, Pretty Woman"/"How Many More Times" The only known live performance by Led Zeppelin of the song "Friends" was performed on this tour on 29 September 1971 in Osaka,〔(Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary )〕 as is captured on a number of Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings of the show. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Led Zeppelin Japanese Tour 1971」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
