Led Zeppelin European Tour 1973
A month of European dates in spring 1973, just before Houses of the Holy came out.
Led Zeppelin's 1973 European Tour ran from 2 March to 2 April 1973, starting four weeks after the band's previous tour of the United Kingdom. It is remembered partly for crowd trouble: riots by fans at earlier shows in France led to the cancellation of the concerts in Marseille and Lille.
The tour took place shortly before the release of the band's fifth album, and several of its songs were already in the set, among them "Over the Hills and Far Away", "Dancing Days", "The Song Remains the Same", "The Rain Song" and "The Ocean". Some critics regard these shows as Led Zeppelin at their technical best.
