FEBRUARY 14 - RAINBOW THEATRE, LONDON, ENGLAND (THURSDAY)
Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Bonham attended Roy Harper's Valentine's Day concert as part of the all-star band, The Intergalactic Elephant Band, with Roy Harper on vocals and guitar, Ronnie Lane on bass, Max Middleton and David Bedford on keyboards, and Keith Moon and John Bonham on drums. Robert Plant acted as MC. The Same Old Rock and Male Chauvinist Pig Blues were also performed and profesionally recorded but both haen't been released yet.

Recording Includes: Male Chauvinist Pig Blues [ 4:31 ], Too Many Movies [ 6:11 ], Home [ 5:18 ].
Source: Incomplete very good audience recording. Near 20 minutes.
Details: The tape has very nice, wide, clear spectrum with only some hiss and very small distortion. The depth of recording could be more prominent though, however it's not a big issue judging overall quality.

Recording Includes: Too Many Movies, Home.
Source: Incomplete superb soundboard recording.
Details: The recording is a fully professional mixdown of multitrack.

Bootleg CD Reference(s) audience: Bizarre (Tarantura)

Official LP Reference(s) soundboard: Flashes From The Archives Of Oblivion (Harvest) & Stormcock (Harvest)

Comments: A really weird but fantastic, rare example of three members of the band jamming on-stage with their very good friend, Roy Harper. Home featuring cameo appearance of John Bonham, who came on strumming acoustic guitar. The perfomance itself is kinda much influenced by Harper's style but it's top playing - very climatic and loose.

Comments: Well, all three songs explains everything - the almighty Zepp meets one of the Godfathers of British rock, the Macca nd his Wings band. A truly outstanding and remarkable piece of music history, gathering one of the most exciting line-up we can only wish to see! The music itself is just a rock standard medley, nothing close to what we could expect from the Zeppelin but still a gem.

Comments: This was the first official reunion show of Led Zeppelin and is not as bad as might be reported. But Plant's voice was shot, Jimmy had trouble with the monitors and the drummers were out of sync what caused of a rather chaotic and uneven performance. Robert teased the crowd with "Any requests?" line and they played Stairway To Heaven for delight of the large crowd.

Comments: This could be a great concert but was totally destroyed by Jason, who completely missed the power and energy, especially on Kashmir. Plant also mixed up some lyrics to that song what caused of a complete lack of power that characterizing this Led Zeppelin classic. On Heartbreaker, Page almost totally missed his solo and the whole band rushed into a short and compact version of Whole Lotta Love, similar to Copenhagen July 24th, 1979 version. Stairway To Heaven found both Plant and Page missing some lyrics and solo.

Comments: A historic gem! After two uneven reunions this was a really strong show with some great jams throughout. In fact, this concert is a kind of jam session rather than usual Zeppelin set. For the first time they decided to perform For Your Love from Presence album live! When The Levee Breaks has its appearance here too and is very long. A bunch of special guest stars making this recording very interesting and well worth listening.

Bootleg Visual Reference(s) professional movie:

Comments: This show is hot! Simply the best of all four documented reunion concerts they played! From the opening bars of Good Times Bad Times it's obvious the band rehearsed so long that caused of a near perfect playing through the whole show. Jason sounds really fantastic and his playing is very similar to his great late dad, John. Jimmy is in a peak form - his solos are tight, full of energy and he didn't miss anything tonight! Just listen to In My Time Of Dying - a pure genius. For Your Life is played live before large audience for the first time in its entirety here as well as Ramble On. Dazed And Confused and No Quarter are playing in a more compact, shortened versions but it doesn't means lack of magic. Kashmir is bombastic and two heavy encores closing this spiritual event.
