Source: Almost complete very good audience recording. 52 minutes.
Details: A really good sounding audience tape. Jimmy's guitar and Bonzo's loud drum tends to overshadow Robert's voice and Johnsey's bass but all the sounds are clearly discernible.

Bootleg LP Reference(s): Nineteen Sixtynine (The Swingin' Pig Records)

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Live At Whisky A Go-Go!! (Eelgrass), Live At Whiskey A Go-Go!! (Empress Valley Supreme Disc), & Things Began To Happen (Beelzebub Records CD-R)

Bootleg DVD Audio Reference(s): Live At Whiskey A Go-Go!!! (Empress Valley Supreme Disc) & Texas International Pop Festival (Empress Valley Supreme Disc)

Comments: We can certainly feel that the performance of the band captured by the tape is one of its earliest, since most of the tunes are played in more compact manner than they became in later stages. Here, improvisations are confined to minimum levels. However, the brutality of Bonzo's drum playing and the wide range of Robert's voice is incredible. Jimmy also seems to have been doing some experimental guitar works here. For Your Love rounds out this performance and the band play it as it should have been originally. It doesn’t get more psychedelic than this version.

JANUARY 9 - FILLMORE WEST, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA (THURSDAY, 2 SHOWS)
Taj Mahal opened the night, then Led Zeppelin took the stage prior to the headliners Country Joe & The Fish.

Recording Includes: The Train Kept A Rollin' [ 3:00 ].
Source: Incomplete good audience recording. 5 minutes.
Details: A bit overloaded tape with Page and Bonham out front and Plant in the back.

Bootleg CD Reference(s): For Your Love (Cyanine Records CD-R), Fresh Garbage (Scorpio), Twinight (Immigrant), & Whole Lotta For Your Love (Pirate Records)

Comments: A single song said to be from the band's San Francisco debut at the Fillmore West. The band played these shows with second billing underneath headliners Country Joe And The Fish. The opening act for these shows was Taj Mahal. Like most of the early 1969 shows that the band did, in San Francisco they played two sets each night. Which means that the nightly program during this run at the Fillmore West saw the Taj Mahal do two sets, Zeppelin do two sets, and Country Joe do two sets. As was customary at the Fillmore and Winterland during this era, the start of each of the opening sets by each band was typically introduced by Bill Graham himself. Unfortunetaly, for this Zeppelin remainder, these intros can't be heard on this tape. What is fascinating about this supposed January 9th tape is that it is just the one song. There are a few other instances of this in Zeppelin collecting. Could be that this song was tacked on to someone's trading tape as a bonus (or a tease) by the taper. Or perhaps the taper on this night had intended to tape Country Joe, so only decided to capture one of Zeppelin's songs for the night. Or, perhaps the complete tape exists somewhere, and like so many rumored others, has simply yet to circulate. In any case, we can be fairly confident that the setlist for this show included more than just the one song that circulates on this audience tape, and that it is likely that the band played their complete set. If it is from January 9th, it may have even featured a performance of For Your Love, considering that the date before it and the date after it the band playing the song. Anyway, this is all we have from this show. It's a great performance of the song, sure, but what does it tell us about that night? First, if this tape is from the first night in San Francisco, we can assume that it's from the beginning of the second set. The reason for this can be found in Plant's intro: "Good evening ... thank you very much. It's very nice to come back for a second time. And once again ... uh, it's really a pleasure to be back again." The key to his words is that he mentions coming back for "a second time". Sure, he could be speaking of a second night in town, but from the way that he is talking, it sounds more like a casual sentiment of being back on the stage on the same night. But, as we can't be sure that this tape isn't really from some other date on their first tour, here's a little examination ... If this song isn't from the second set of the first night, but is still from San Francisco, then it would have to be the first song of the second set, from the third night on January 11th. The reason being because the tape we have of that third show features songs from the first set of the night (see Plant's speech before Communication Breakdown about worrying that they wouldn't have time to do another set). And, for the fact that we have those aforementioned complete audience recordings from the second and fourth nights. The song couldn't be from the beginning of that January 11th tape, because coming back for "a second time" wouldn't make sense in regards to either the set (since it was the first set) or the night (since it was the third). Notice that on this supposed January 9th tape, after The Train Kept A Rollin' ends, Page does not go directly into I Can't Quit You Baby, instead pausing and plucking some notes on his guitar. This further supports that this song is from the second set. Because if one examines the setlists from 1969, as well as the shows from 1970 up through April, one will notice that I Can't Quit You Baby was always played as the second song in the first set. So, for them not to have gone straight into the song on this night means that they had likely already played it in the first set. Which, again makes it a possibility that this song could have been from the second set of the first or third night. So, which is it? The first or the third? I lean towards it being from the first. Why? Listen to Plant's voice on this tape when compared to his voice on the third night. He is in great early shape on both nights, but on the recording we have here, he is in very high range. Whereas, the recording we have of the third night has Plant with just a tad less "freshness" to his voice, typical for having sung for three nights in a row. Sure, not a case-closer, but significant nonetheless. Of course, the remaining option is that this tape is not from San Francisco at all, and instead from some other night on the tour. Of which, it could be from anywhere on the tour. Either where they played two sets in one night, or played multiple shows in the same city. Detroit and Boston come to mind. We can limit the search down to this first tour, again by listening to Plant's voice, as well as to Page's guitar. The sound of those Rickenbacker amps only used on that first tour is unmistakeable. We admit that we initially had reservations about this tape having been from such an early date. The crowd sound just a little too rowdy and too enthusiastic to have this be the opening (or second) night in any of the towns that the band played. Not to mention, besides the radio airplay and hype, the band were still relative unknowns, and the first album was not even out yet. But yet, on the beginning of this tape you can hear all sorts of crowd noise and bodies shuffling, with shouts of "Sit down!" and "There ain't no room!", the kinds of things you'd hear at a show where the crowd were getting anxious to see their favorite band. But, again, perhaps that goes back to the likelihood that this song was the start of the second set. Which would speak to the first set having been so good that it whipped the audience into a frenzy. To which, it wouldn't be that surprising that the audience was excited to hear more, and as such were pushing and yelling to get a good spot on the floor. Furthermore, in favor of it being from San Francisco, if one listen's to the recording of the show from the next night, on January 10th, one can hear this very same kind of crowd reaction. After every song there are yells and whistles from the audience. Just before White Summer, you can even hear someone near the taper yell "Sit down!". So, if the band were able to get that kind of enthusiasm on the second night, perhaps it's not such a stretch to imagine that they had already gotten it on the first one. Page has long since been quoted as saying that it was in San Francisco where the band's popularity began to spread like "wildfire", after all. So, there you have it. Either this song is from January 9th, 1969, or it's from some other date. Only more tape, or more information, will tell.

JANUARY 10 - FILLMORE WEST, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA (FRIDAY, 2 SHOWS)
Taj Mahal opened the night, then Led Zeppelin took the stage prior to the headliners Country Joe & The Fish.

Set 1 Includes: The Train Kept A Rollin' [ 3:00 - opening notes cut ] >> I Can't Quit You Baby [ 5:30 ], As Long As I Have You (<< Fresh Garbage, Shake..) [ 10:46 ], Dazed And Confused [ 10:22 - opening note or so cut ], [ tape cut - some chatter missing ], How Many More Times (<< Guitar Improvisation based on San Francisco theme, Dream Lower, The Hunter, Tobacco Road..) [ 14:19 ].
Set 2 Includes: White Summer (<< Black Mountain Side..)

[ 4:18 ], [ tape cut - some chatter missing ], You Shook Me [ 8:17 ], [ tape cut - some chatter missing ], Pat's Delight [ 9:50 ], [ tape cut - some chatter missing ], Babe I'm Gonna Leave You [ 5:43 - opening notes missing ], Communication Breakdown [ 3:41 ], For Your Love [ 7:30 ].
Source: Incomplete good audience recording. 95 minutes.
Details: The tape is a bit muffled with some hiss but clear enough to be enjoyable. Page and Plant are up front with the drums less discernible. The sound degrades during Pat's Delight, becoming more distorted and muffled with a lot of boomy low-end for the remainder of the show, clearing up a bit for For Your Love.

Comments: A classic, early, primitive monster show that is amazing from start to finish! Stand-outs, among this entirely excellent show, are the great riffing intro to The Train Kept A Rollin', the epic As Long As I Have You and How Many More Times medley, and an incredible, 10 minute version of For Your Love that surpasses the original version by leaps and bounds. The song was introduced by Plant as "a thing Keith Relf had something to do with. Do you remember him? Works for Hammersmith Council now!" (sic!).

JANUARY 11 - FILLMORE WEST, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA (concert married by Page's guitar problems) (SATURDAY, 2 SHOWS)
Taj Mahal opened the night, then Led Zeppelin took the stage prior to the headliners Country Joe & The Fish.

Set 1 Includes: [ supposed to be played: The Train Kept A Rollin' ] I Can't Quit You Baby [ 5:39 ], Dazed And Confused [ 12:16 ], You Shook Me [ 3:16 ], How Many More Times [ 7:13 - medley section cut ], Communication Breakdown [ 3:34 ].
Source: Incomplete excellent soundboard recording. 43 minutes.
Details: The sound quality is typical of 1969 soundboards. Vocals and drums up front. The original original tape or its low gen copy from which many bootlegs were made has listenable music by some other artist in the background and it can be easy detecting on quiet fragments (ie. when Plant speaking to the audience etc.) This possibly caused the original tape was either recorded directly over a tape that was previously used to record another band.

(Equinox), Birth Of The Gods (Balboa Productions), Fillmore East Vol. 2 (Mud Dogs), For Your Love (Cyanine Records CD-R), Fresh Garbage (Scorpio), How Many More Years ~ The Legendary Fillmore Series - West Volume 5 (Empress Valley Supreme Disc), Pb+ (Wild Card), Psycho A GoGo! (Led Note), Steel Mill Blues (Winston Remasters CD-R), Streets Of San Francisco (no label), Syonen Zep Zokango Tokubetsu Furoku (Akashic), & Whole Lotta For Your Love (Pirate Records)

Comments: This is all that is known to exist of this show, and it is a shame ... this is great one! Robert is hoarse with a sore throat but his singing is still gutsy and the band is unreal, especially on Dazed and Confused. The group experienced some of equipment problems which caused the long delays between the songs so Robert leading to request the audience, "Has anybody got a Les Paul? Jeff who? Tell him to bring it here then!" As the band took the stage for the encore, Plant saying "I tell you what! This is the third night and we've decided that we're gonna come and live here, 'cos you're so nice! If we don't make it, then the police in England would rather we'd stay there!" Communication Breakdown has Plant substituting his "banshee-scream" before the solo with a lion's growl.

Bootleg CD Reference(s): California '69 (Lemon Song), For Your Love (Cyanine Records CD-R), The Fourth Night - Legendary Fillmore Series ~ West Volume 6 (Empress Valley Supreme Disc), & Fresh Garbage (Scorpio)

Comments: A really raw and primitive show from early on; the playing is sheer inspiration and Robert's voice is throat tearing in the 2nd show especially. A classic early show when the band was young and every night was played with guts. This is also the earliest known live soundboard recording of Led Zeppelin and it's typical of the era, with the vocals and drums to the fore.

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Boston After Dark (Empress Valley Supreme Disc), Complete Boston Tea Party (ARMS), & Whisky And Tea Party (Ocean Recording Corporation)

Comments: This is all that is known to exist from this show. The band sunds really strong and Robert's voice is in its most primitive and powerful stage. Dazed And Confused is a very powerful and excting version. I only hope the rest of this great show comes out someday! The band stopped after The Train Kept A Rollin' because Jimmy Page had troubles with his guitar. "It's great to be in Boston. According to Jimmy it's one of the best places he's even played! I think, right now, in the shops there's an album called Led Zeppelin. I don't know whether it's out here yet. Is it out? You see, in one place it comes out one day and another place three weeks later. On this album we've tried to do a cross section of everything we've got into and we've included some blues because that's where it all comes from!" said Plant while Jimmy was preparing a guitar string.

Comments: An amazing show ... this could be quite possibly one of the the best Led Zeppelin concert from 1969. The sound is vibrant and crisp and the playing is amazing. Jimmy's soloing throughout is nothing short of breathtaking and Jones' thundering bass and Bonham's amazing drums only add to it, as does Robert's crystalline and wonderful voice. An incredible show ... one of the very best! Some sources reports that another set of rock 'n' roll medleys was performed but a big care must be taken with these statements.

Comments: Almost complete opening set for Iron Butterfly and a very intense and show stealing one at that! Zeppelin was infinitely better than the Butterfly as this set amply shows. Robert's voice in all of its high pitched, amazing 1969 glory and the band playing as well as ever thus far in their short time together. Jimmy is on fire!

FEBRUARY 1 - FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, NEW YORK (concert delayed caused by the band fogetting Jones' bass guitar) (SATURDAY 8pm and 11:30pm SHOWS)

[ 14:53 ], Communication Breakdown [ 3:04 ].
Source: Almost complete good audience recording. 45 minutes.
Details: The sound is rather distant and muddy with slight tape hiss. There are also an ocasional distortion due to bass/drum overloading here and there.

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Drive Me Insane (Scorpio), In The Heat Of The Night (Beelzebub Records CD-R), Legendary Fillmore Tapes Vol. 1 (Savage Beast Music), & New York In The Wind ~ The Legendary Fillmore Series - East Vol. 2 (Empress Valley Supreme Disc)

Comments: A really good, but uptight and confused gig. The show starts with an announcement from Robert Plant: "We're sorry about the delay but because we're all a bit stupid, we forgot the bass player's guitar! Would you believe that! So we're gonna open up without the bass player. We're gonna feature Jimmy Page. This is a thing that was very popular when he was with The Yardbirds." After a nice early version the band breaks into an extremely powerful The Train Kept A Rollin'. Then the show starts properly and is excellent, except they forget to play Dazed And Confused before the last song ... so they insert it in the middle of How Many More Times! A blistering show where the audience's reaction would mirror mine were I there: "Who gives a shit about the Butterfly?" This was an opening slot for Iron Butterfly ... and indeed who does give a shit?

King at Massey Hall on February 14th ... but right now ... their first Canadian appearance, and there's going to be a lot more of them ... Atlantic recording stars - Led Zeppelin!" The band is smoking and Robert's voice is unbelievable! The highest note he reaches in How Many More Times is simply amazing.

Comments: Two very high powered sets with different moods and feels to them. Both feature a band playing with fiery intensity! Robert hits some of the highest screams and is raw emotion, ranging from the primordial wails of How Many More Times and As Long As I Have You to the pain and suffering of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. The band's assault is relentless as well. This was the second to last show from the first US tour of 1969. Again, the group ended (?) with Bonham's drum solo.

Comments: An incredibly powerful concert! The band is really ripping through everything tonight. As Long As I Have You is a shortened, compact and brutal version. Dazed And Confused is missing here, only the second time known (so far, see February 1st, 1969 for the other). Page checks the guitar-tuning with a bossa nova riff, quickly followed by the other two instruments for a few seconds, Plant says: "We'll try to carry on despite Che Guevara" much to everyone's amusement. You Shook Me and Communication Breakdown are massive as well.

Comments: Another excellent and raw, powerful show in front of a small crowd. Robert's voice is a little sore but he makes up for it in passion and the band sounds very primitive, raw and powerful. The extended Dazed And Confused is the perfect example.

Comments: This is a great mini-show performed for a small television audience and the only chance to see the whole band live on TV screen until 1976 (except March 25th and 27th, 1969). There is an incredible amount of energy packed into this set and the improvisations showcase the immense talents of the band ... a great one to have! Few versions of this tape are available. The one used on "DVD" is possibly pre-broadcast tape from Denmark TV archives. Its length is 31 minutes (cut on "DVD" some seconds too early at the end of How Many More Times). The second version is known from BBC2 "Heavy Metal Arena" show from 1990 and this was the first occcassion to see this film after its premiere in 1969 on Denmark television. It clocks at 32 minutes (without introduction). The third version comes from French TV and length is 31 minutes.

Bootleg CD Reference(s) acetate source: Sunshine Woman (no label)

Comments: Probably one of the rarest Zeppelin studio recording ever discovered. What makes this tape more attractive is group's attempt to the song called Sunshine Woman. It shares the "I've got a mortgage on my body/I've got a lean on my soul" and "When she walks/she walks just like a willow tree" lyrics and is an interesting coincidence Plant recycles those lyrics since Rod Stewart was using them in the Jeff Beck Group at the same time. The tapes were wiped by BBC crew and supposedly the only remainder master copies are somewhere in Eastern Europe but if they really exists, they are in the hands of tape hoarders or persons who have no idea what they have! It is also reported that these masters have a complete version of Sunshine Woman and obviously a Polish pirate flexi-card must be sourced from one of low gen copies. What Is And What Should Never Be was commonly attributed to this date but it's really from June 16th, 1969 broadcast and was added later to this tape.

Comments: It remainded as a curiocity why the band decided to perform in television after as they were so dissapointed with "How Late It Is" show on March 21st, 1969. For sure the band didn't want to play it and this can be easily noticed, when Bonham just looking around dully while he's playing drums. Led Zeppelin performed Babe I'm Gonne Leave You and You Shook Me but the producers of Beat Club weren't really impressed by group's performance and did not broadcast the filmed material. Only in March 1970, when Whole Lotta Love became popular in Germany, the Beat Club producers used the previously filmed material to produce a video clip using the commercially released version of Whole Lotta Love for the clip's audio portion. The clip also features go-go female dancers. The originally recorded audio portions were not used. Newly rediscovered in Autumn of 2007 incomplete version of the previously unaired Babe I'm Gonna Leave You is captured from a recent broadcast of "Vinyl - RockPopGeschichte(n)".

Comments: We don't know if this recording comes from single ser or it's just a mix of both sets. The sound is so good it has been often mistaken as a soundboard. In fact it comes from PA monitors. Quite possibly the best version ever recorded of As Long As I Have You, competing madly with the April 27th, 1969 version. Halfway through the number, Jones' bass cabinet exploded and Plant ad-libed new lyrics: "I think we've got some trouble with our equipment, yeah ... I think we're gonna get it together, yeah ... I think we're gonna have a good time ... I think we'd better the right key!" After the song Plant commented: "We seem to have a cock-up every time we've been here!" Killing Floor contains some great bass/guitar/drum interplay and Robert's voice is in incredible shape.

Comments: Sounding very similar to the tape from January 9th at Fillmore West, this tape from the band's second gig of their second visit to the city (and their first performance at the Winterland Ballroom), is much longer in length, being just under 25 minutes. The taper was close to the stage, likely on the floor of the venue, and the resulting recording is a nice listen of an excellent performance. Unfortunately, the last song on the tape, As Long As I Have You, ends after only six minutes. Cuts are present between all four songs, which masks the fact that there are almost certainly songs missing in-between these cuts. This is a given for the simple reason that the entire tape is less than half an hour long, yet it starts with Bill Graham introducing the band, and ends with Plant giving the audience a sincere farewell for the evening. Whether or not the Graham introduction is from the beginning of the 1st set or the beginning of the 2nd set isn't known. But given Plant's farewell, we can assume that the taper was present from the start of at least one of the sets through to the end of the night, save for any additional encores the band may have done. Again, just like that January 9th Fillmore West tape, there is also confusion as to what the actual date of this recording is. And, again, the confusion here is caused by the words that Plant says to the audience. Just before that incomplete version of As Long As I Have You, he says the following: "Last time when we came here was the first ... it was the second gig we ever did in America ... and ... we'd been together about three months, and we were really pleased with the way we went down. If we hadn't have done well here I think we would've shitted ourselves and ran home. And you've done the same for us this time as you did last time. We'd like to say thank you very much, and good night." A simple fact-checking of his statement about the town being the second gig the band ever did in America would effectively rule out San Francisco. The first US gig was on December 26th, 1968 in Denver, with the second in Seattle on December 27th. After those first two, the band played Vancouver and Spokane, with Portland said to have been played as well during that week. From there, in the first week of the new year, the band headed south to California for four nights at the Whisky in Hollywood, before heading up to the Fillmore West in San Francisco the following week. So, unless this tape is from Seattle, Plant's words don't make sense. Thankfully, the mystery here is helped by the fact that this tape starts with that aforementioned introduction by Bill Graham: "...welcome them back from England, this is Led Zeppelin." Graham's introduction on the tape weighs in heavy on this debate. In fact, so heavy, that even though we can never be entirely sure about these types of things, it pretty much settles the date. During this era, Graham had yet to begin promoting concerts outside of his own venues in the Bay Area and New York. So, for his voice to appear on this tape immediately identifies San Francisco or New York as the location. However, the sound of Page's guitar on this tape matches with the echo-heavy and fuzzed-out sound he used in San Francisco in April. By the time the band reached New York in May, Page will have gotten rid of that constant echo and fuzz sound, and will have switched over exclusively to his Les Paul. So, that's two points for this tape being from San Francisco. Not definitive proof, but pretty close. As for which day in San Francisco, April 26th and 27th are automatically out due to the fact that we already have complete recordings from both nights. As well, the first night back in town, April 24th, is also out, as that show starts with As Long As I Have You, which the band can be heard playing on this tape from April 25th. Unlike shows at other venues on the tour, where the band played to separate audiences at separate early and late shows, at Fillmore West and Winterland, the band played to the same audience the entire night. And during this period, we have no record of them repeating any songs within the same night at any of the other dates they played in town. Which ultimately asks the question as to why Plant would make such statement. The easiest answer probably being that he was merely being sentimental and appreciative to the audience. San Francisco was an important town for the band during this period. The gigs that the band gave there, especially during that week of April, are among the finest that they ever gave. So, given that connection, what's wrong with a little white lie amongst friends? So, I think this recording is indeed from San Francisco, at Winterland, April 25th, 1969. Even though the recording is so short and fragmentary, it is still a wonderful slice, highlighting a caliber of playing that is right up there with the other nights of the run. Plant's voice is fantastic, in glorius high range, and Page's playing actually sounds even better than it would the next night. Hopefully, one day more of this tape will circulate (if there indeed is any more).

Source: Incomplete very good audience recording. 125 minutes.
Details: The sound is clear for the most part, slightly muffled in places and the drums are a little in the background of the mix. Overall one of the better audience recordings for the era.

Comments: This is Led Zeppelin as acid/psychedelic hard rock, pioneering a new, original sound in the process. The concert itself is a pure magic. Everything that made Led Zeppelin an amazing live act is here and these two sets were so revolutionary in their time that even now, I am dumbstruck by the power and performance. "I think last night we said that it was nice to be back. Well, there seems to be a lot more people here, so I hope the message is carrying on" said Plant after I Can't Quit You Baby. Jimmy plays like a man possessed, hitting everything with such fluency and accuracy and with such emotion. Bonham is thunderous, Jonesy is all over the place, inventing lead lines to counter Jimmy's, and Robert's voice is incredible, higher than any notes Jimmy can get on his guitar! The power and performance are staggering. Also, the first appearance of the Theremin (Dazed And Confused) and the first ever time Whole Lotta Love was played live! Hearing this first recorded version, it’s amazing how much the song had already been worked out. Plant’s lyrics are mostly the same as what would appear on the album, with the exception being that he doesn’t once sing the chorus "Wanna whole lotta love". That aside, the song remains pretty much the same as the one we all know and love. During the middle section, Page doesn't use the theremin. The spot where it would be featured in the song instead features Bonham doing the same steady high-hat and clicking accompaniment that he would do on the album, but with Page doing a slide solo, sounding pretty much like the one he had just done a few songs earlier in Killing Floor. After Bonham and Jones join in with a rushing beat and the song comes to a slow down, Page then plays some of the solo portions he had just played in As Long As I Have You. As Page keeps soloing, Jones jumps in with parts of the backing bass line from "You Shook Me", and then the band get into the formal return solo that would lead back to the main riff in the song. For Plant's last solo line, he hadn’t yet gone so far as to change the original Dixon lyric into "Woman, you need IT", so instead sings the original "You need love". As the band crash in and the song heads towards the ending, Plant then repeats the line "Baby you need love" over and over. And the song fades out.

Source: Incomplete very good audience recording. 122 minutes.
Details: The first set suffers from some form of distortion. There is a small amount of tape hiss during both sets. All the instruments come through clear. There are portions that get a little muddy as the volume crashes into the recorder.

Source: Incomplete excellent soundboard recording. Near 113 minutes.
Details: This tape does not favor drums and vocals over the rest of instruments as many other soundboards of 1969 era. It seems that all the instruments are balanced quite well although the clarity and separation is not still top notch. The tape hiss is large though.

Set 1 Includes: The Train Kept A Rollin' [ 3:03 - opening notes cut ] >> I Can't Quit You Baby [ 6:10 ], As Long As I Have You (<< Fresh Garbage [ tape cut during the song ], Shake, Cat's Squirrel, Cadillac No Money Down, I'm A Man..)

Source: Incomplete excellent FM radio broadcast recording. Almost 116 minutes.
Details: Seems to be a touch more dynamic and clear in some portions but nothing more than a very subjective feeling at all. The hiss is still present.

Bootleg DVD Audio Reference(s): The Devil's Blues (Genuine Masters)

Comments: This show is just blistering. The first set has the group firing on all cylinders and playing their hearts out. The second set is more bluesy and laid back, but that never means less enjoyable. The only live version of Sittin' and Thinkin', a Buddy Guy number, is here and the completely different song list for each set make this a great show to have. Dazed And Confused is really dark here. The group's excitement to be so anticipated by Californian audience found their way in Plant ad-libbed lyrics of I Can't Quit You Baby: "I'm so glad you came tonight ... but I think we're gonna leave this town for a little while ... I don't want to leave you people ... but I think we've got to leave San Francisco for a little while". Also some member of the audience is calling for You Shook Me, what makes a quick and quite funny response from Plant: "Right! Don't worry by that! Just one before that!"
