This is a Site about the legendary Australian Tour Led Zeppelin did in
1972. Here you can find several pictures, a Robert Plant iterview, some
sound extracts from the "Australian Tour Bootlegs" and last but not least
many Zep related links.
Led Zeppelin had achieved many memorable concert performances throughout
their career, but there are few concerts that come close to the historic
Tour of Australia in February 1972. Starting the tour off in Perth there
were wild crowd scenes at the concert followed by a police drug raid on
the bands hotel the next day. In Melbourne a group of professional gatecrashers
decided they wanted to see the mighty Zep.....who cares if they didn't
have tickets! They must have known this was the only chance of seeing
the band in Australia. In Sydney a record breaking crowd welcomed Led
Zeppelin in true Australian style. For the occasion Jimmy gave them snatches
of the Rover which is the earliest known performance of this track.
