Led Zeppelin-Down by the Seaside
1975 - "Physical Graffiti" is released while the Zepps are in the middle of their tenth American tour. The year doesn't start off under the best auspices for the four at the peak of success. Before the tour begins, Page breaks his left ring finger and Plant catches a deadly flu. No concert is canceled; Page decides to play with his remaining fingers, changing technique (he won't play, for example, Dazed and Confused), and Plant carries on throughout the period. The record-breaking tour will definitely not be the best in terms of performances. Only in Florida was the "Florida Rock Festival" canceled, where they were supposed to appear as headliners, because after selling all the tickets, the organizers realized they didn't have the necessary parking (!?!); an anecdote among the hundreds in the story of their tours (if I can, I will dedicate something separately about the bootlegs).
