1977
Led Zeppelin spent January and February 1977 at Manticore Studios preparing for the next US Tour. The band's first show was to be Ft. Worth TX on February 27 but Plant came down with laryngitis.  The tour's actual start was in April. But then on 26 July 1977, Robert Plant's son Karac died, and Led Zeppelin did not perform again until 23 July 1979 in Copenhagen for a warmup for Knebworth.

1977
While Jimmy Page may admire the music of Yma Sumac, it does nothing for me, so if you want to look at it you'll have to either go to Jimmy Page's website today while it's still there, or hunt for it on the web.

Aside from scattered guest appearances of individual members of the band, Led Zeppelin did not perform between 26 July 1977, the date of the death of Robert Plant's son, Karac, and 23 July 1979 in Copenhagen for a warmup for Knebworth.
