1971 Japanese
Tour
was the first in
Japan
by the
English
rock
band
. Commenced on 23 September and concluding on 29 September 1971, it was one of the first tours of Japan by a western rock band.
[1]
"It was the first time I'd been to such a sort of overpopulated place…" recalled guitarist
Jimmy Page
of Tokyo, where the tour began. "It was a city with such a new vision towards the future. The technology boom was really going on, even then… It seems odd now with
Nikon
everywhere, but at the time they were just really breaking the market, and you could get cameras over here really, really inexpensively, and hi-fi and little cine cameras… We came here and went away loaded with cameras and I started documenting the rest of my travels with Led Zeppelin for a bit."
[2]
One of the concerts from the short tour, at
Hiroshima
on 27 September,
[3]
was a benefit show. As an expression of thanks, the city of Hiroshima presented the band with a letter of appreciation and the city medal from the local mayor.
[1]
During the tour, singer
Robert Plant
allegedly punched drummer
John Bonham
before one of the shows.
[1]
This was not the only turbulent incident, as manager
Peter Grant
explained:
There were rows. One bloody amazing one happened in Japan when Robert came off stage with a split lip. It was over some dispute over some money from some tour. He still owed Bonzo some petrol money for 70 quid or something, but that's how it was!
[1]
The concerts were recorded at the insistence of the Japanese Warner Pioneer label, owned by the band's record company
Atlantic Records
. However, Page considered the audio quality so inferior that he decided to wipe the tapes and use them again.

1972 Japanese Tour
was the second and final
concert tour
of
Japan
by the
English
rock
band
. The tour commenced on 2 October and concluded on 10 October 1972.
This tour took place shortly following the recording of the band's fifth album,
Houses of the Holy
. Two tracks from the album were played live for first time, namely "
The Song Remains the Same
" and "
The Rain Song
". For these tracks,
Jimmy Page
used his characteristic
Gibson EDS-1275
double-neck guitar
. Other songs from the album were also played, but these had already been debuted on previous concert tours.
[1]
It was on this tour that
John Paul Jones
played his
mellotron
for the first time. He used it for the tracks "
Stairway to Heaven
", "The Rain Song" and "
Thank You
". He also introduced an arco
stand-up bass
, which he played during "
Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp
".
[1]
Some observers have noted that it was during this tour that the vocals of singer
Robert Plant
began to show signs of damage, as he arguably started to lose the extremely high-pitched wail which was evident on previous concert tours and album releases.
[2]
In particular, Plant strained to sing the song "
Rock and Roll
", leading him to change the melody of the song to a lower register on all future tours.
Whilst on this tour, Jones bought a traditional Japanese string instrument called a
Koto
. He later used this instrument on his solo album
Zooma
(1999).
