Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: A great star, But Robert did it all backwards Wednesday night. Reviewer Henry Mietkiewicz says he started out at a blistering pace and ended up with his weakest numbers, bringing the show to a crawl. At first it looked as if Plant would conquer the stage as skilfully as he was carved a solo recording career for himself since 1981.
