[edit] Tour set list
Some tracks from the band's second album, namely "Heartbreaker" and "What Is and What Should Never Be", made their live debuts during this tour. The album was released in late October 1969, just following the conclusion of this tour. During these shows, John Paul Jones used his Hammond organ for the first time on a regular basis.[1]
The fairly typical set list for the tour was:
- "Good Times, Bad Times" (Bonham, Jones, Page)
- "Communication Breakdown" (Bonham, Jones, Page)
- "I Can't Quit You Baby" (Dixon)
- "Heartbreaker" (Bonham, Page, Plant)
- "You Shook Me" (Dixon, Lenoir)
- "What Is and What Should Never Be" (Page, Plant)
- "Dazed and Confused" (Page)
- "How Many More Times" (Bonham, Jones, Page)
There were some set list substitutions, variations, and order switches during the tour.
