led zeppelin 1980 update
The astounding commercial success of In Through The Out Door should have been sufficient, many people thought, to guarantee an American Led Zeppelin tour during 1980—yet unfortunately, -this was not to be. Instead came “Zeppelin Over Europe ’80,” a small European tour that, significantly, was the band’s first in three years.

Writer Steve Gett, covering Zep’s performance during their stop at Munich, had this to say about the band in Melody Maker:
“Robert Plant looked totally at ease in t-shirt and jeans, and he was surrounded by Page, who was wearing a ridiculously baggy suit, John Paul Jones who was sporting his short haircut, and Bonzo at the back, who was indulging in some wildfire skinbeating. From the first few bars, Pagey leapt around the stage like a madman, never standing still for more than a second throughout the whole show, cutting an image somewhere between Chuck Berry and AC/DC’s Angus Young! Led Zeppelin, more than anything, were enjoying themselves, and the true spirit of the band... had returned. ”
