This day in music history.

June 17, 1980, Led Zeppelin began their last tour at Westfallenhalle in Dortmund. The tour would end in Berlin, Germany on July 7 after only 14 shows. The band would never play together again.
Fool In The Rain by Led Zeppelin
Oh, baby
Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for the night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts a burning
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why can't you show up, make it all right?
Yeah. It's all right.
And if you promise your love so completely
and you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me baby
What ever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
Hey
It ain't the first time believe me baby
I'm standin here feeling blue
Yeah I'm blue
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around
The clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found
Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I've got no reason to doubt you baby
It's all a terrible mess
I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block
Light of the love that I found
