May 13, 1969
Honolulu, HI US
Led Zeppelin at Civic Auditorium (Honolulu)
Setlist:
Songs performed during this period include: Train Kept a Rollin', I Can't Quit You Baby, Dazed and Confused, As Long As I Have You, Killing Floor, White Summer / Black Mountainside, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, You Shook Me, How Many More Times, Communication Breakdown, Pat's Delight

Notes:
Press Review: Led Zeppelin was the first major British rock group to appear in Hawaii and I think most people at the Civic Auditorium last Tuesday night will agree that we want more.

The showmanship exceeded any rock performance here to date. I wondered before the concert if Led Zeppelin could sound as good as their Atlantic album – they sounded better. Honolulu Advertiser, May 1969. (transcription: LZ The Press Reports, 1997).
