Thanks! Couple of newspaper pieces in there I'd never seen before...

Some utter BS, though, such as:

<begin quote>
Though the three-hour set always begins with ³The Song Remains the Same,²
and closes with ³Stairway To Heaven,² the band changes each show¹s line-up
of about 15 songs.  ³It keeps things interesting,² Plant explains, ³You can
picture what a drag it would be to do the same set night after night.  I
think that¹s why so many bands get sick of touring.²
<end quote>

Makes it sound as if they completely shuffled the set from night to night!
Come on! What real variations were there in '77, aside from alternating
OtHaFA and IMToD starting with the NYC shows, an extra encore here and
there, or an impromptu Dancing Days or Mystery Train during the acoustic
set?

Oh, wait, there was that four-song set in Tampa on June 3...
