Led Zeppelin's 1972-1973 United Kingdom Tour was a concert tour of the United Kingdom by the English rock band. The tour commenced on 28 October 1972 and concluded on 30 January 1973. ==History== The tour was preceded by two warm-up shows in Montreux, Switzerland, and rehearsals at the Rainbow Theatre in London, before formally kicking off at Newcastle upon Tyne. This was Led Zeppelin's longest ever tour of the United Kingdom, and the original 110,000 tickets for the 25 dates sold out within four hours of box offices opening simultaneously on 10 November. Tickets were charged £1 for all the concerts, except for the shows at Manchester which charged £1.25.〔Lewis, Dave and Pallett, Simon (1997) ''Led Zeppelin: The Concert File'', London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 0-7119-5307-4, p. 83.〕 Two dates, in Bradford〔(Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary )〕 and Preston〔(Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary )〕 respectively, needed to be postponed as a result of singer Robert Plant contracting influenza after the car in which he and drummer John Bonham were traveling broke down on the way to a concert in Sheffield on 2 January.〔 An additional date was also added at Southampton University on 22 January.〔(Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary )〕 Led Zeppelin experts Dave Lewis and Simon Pallet have characterised this concert tour as something of an end of an era for the band: This would be the last full UK tour Led Zeppelin would undertake. The five Earl's Court 1975 shows and two Knebworth Festival 1979 shows would be their only subsequent performances in Britain before Bonham's death in 1980. 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 United Kingdom Tour 1972–1973」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
