Jimmy performing The Song Remains The Same with his ’71 Gibson EDS-1275, the first song of the setlist at Tampa Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Unfortunately the concert was called off due to a thunderstorm. Notes: Show ends early due to rain. The promoters then ran a full page ad, apologizing to fans for the turn of events – it read: “Concerts West Apologizes and is sorry for the humiliation & inconvenience to you and your faithful fans at Tampa Stadium, June 3, 1977. You did everything that you could and wanted to do so much more. You are the best and deserve the best, not the worst treatment. -Respectfully, Concerts West. Press Review: At Least 100 Injured At Led Zeppelin Concert TAMPA Fla. - City officials, reeling from a mini riot which erupted when a thunderstorm washed out a Led Zeppelin concert, canceled a rain check rerun Saturday, leaving fans from as far as Michigan and New York holding "rain or shine" ticket stubs. The British band played for 20 minutes before the thunderstorm hit. About 45 minutes later the concert was called off. The cry "We want Zeppelin. We want Zeppelin" came from the 70,000 fans as rocks and bottles began flying onto the stage. "There were between 3,000 and 4,000 people who were unruly and disorderly," Tampa Police spokesman Johnny Barker said. About 250 police officers, all in riot gear and using billy clubs, broke up the rioting and herded the fans out of the stadium."The cops didn't give any warning," one teen-aged girl said. The melee left an estimated 100 fans with injuries. Eight were arrested. Shift Commander Tom Wilson said "in the neighborhood a dozen officers were treated for injuries.” Persons holding ticket stubs can get refunds, but we are encouraging them to mail in their refund requests," Barker said.

Could've been the best show of the tour. What we have is fantastic. The Song Remains the Same might be the best version of the year (yes, it's even better than the listen to this Eddie version), Sick Again is brutally heavy with Page nailing the solos and Plant sounding great. Nobody's Fault But Mine is fantastic. Not quite a top 5 version like the previous two songs but still a great one nonetheless. If you have some spare time, check out this show. You can easily find on YouTube and trust me, you're not gonna be disappointed.
