Led Zeppelin's 1977 North American Tour was the eleventh and final concert tour of North America by the English rock band. The tour was divided into three legs, with performances commencing on 1 April and concluding on 24 July 1977. The tour was originally intended to finish on 13 August, but was cut short following the death of vocalist Robert Plant's son. t least three indoor concerts from this tour (at Pontiac on 30 April, Houston on 21 May and Seattle on 17 July) were professionally filmed by the TV International company for the band and projected live on to a giant video screen.[4] None of these performances have been officially released, and to date, only the Seattle video has been made available on unofficial Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings. When reviewing material for the Led Zeppelin DVD in 2003, some 1977 footage was considered, but ultimately only a small clip of Bonham's drumming from the Seattle show is shown during the DVD credits.
