      A truly spectacular show, but the quality is less than mediocre. The band now opens each gig with Ben E King's We're Gonna Groove, and the impact is devastating. Robert's voice is in great shape, and they tear through the set including what is the first ever recorded rendition of an exciting Since I've Been Loving You, with different lyrics and a different arrangement with the opening line featuring “Working from seven to eleven every day / you make my life a drag / things happen that way” phrase. Thank You, along with a short organ intro, has also its debut here. “We've got an LP coming out in three months, and it's called Led Zeppelin 19. We're just gonna keep putting them out!“ Plant jokes to the audience while introducing a new material. The other highlight of the show is an absolutely brilliant razor sharp almost twelve minute version of White Summer/Black Mountain Side. The gutsy How Many More Times is the main set closer, where Page is introduced as Jimmy Hootchie Coochie Page, and where a now-standard medley of various blues and rock 'n' roll classics is assembled. The short string of encores follows, with a newly added Whole Lotta Love and dirty Communication Breakdown, completed with a short but great inset of Good Times Bad Times, to destroy the crowd for good.

JANUARY 9 - ROYAL ALBERT HALL, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM
DJ Gino introduced the band. Whole concert was professionally recorded and filmed. Fragments were used on "Whole Lotta Love" promo video in 1997. We're Gonna Groove, I Can't Quit You Baby, How Many More Times and Bring It On Home were mixed at The Sol Studio, Cookham, Berkshire, England. The overdubbed version of We're Gonna Groove was released on Coda album in 1982 (originally mixed on June 26, 1981), and the alternate mix 2 was released in 2015 as a part of companion disc (originally mixed on February 19, 1982). Finally, almost entire show was released on DVD in 2003.

      This show needs no recommendation. Playing is so hot and the band firing on all cylinders tonight ... it's Jimmy's 26th birthday party! A killer performance with totally mind-blowing energy. From the first notes of We're Gonna Groove up to the last hints of Long Tall Sally, this early concert is just exceptional. During one of the verses on Dazed And Confused, Plant changes the lyrics and sings, “Hey mama, won’t you come here quick / This old cocaine is makin’ me sick” from Reverend Gary Davis' repertoire. Amazing. So sad some tracks are still incomplete, Heartbreaker cuts out somewhere in the middle of the instrumental section, and both Since I've Been Loving You and Thank You are absent. But these factors cannot prevent from the opportunity to listening one of the best shows in their career. The bold and powerful I Can't Quit You Baby, gorgeous White Summer/Black Mountain Side, majestically epic How Many More Times, all of these featuring Zeppelin on the top of their game. It is such a contrast to everything else played, and Page comes across as a true virtuoso. His guitar abilities are mesmerizing, and it is easy to get lost in the eastern atmosphere of the music during some spots. The band is so focused that they simply don’t want to stop playing, stretching every song to the absolute limits. The long section of encores closes this memorable evening with incredibly energetic and strong versions of Whole Lotta Love and Communication Breakdown, probably the best ever Eddie Cochran's classics, C'mon Everybody and Something Else, another early and phenomenally performed Bring It On Home that has all the power and intensity of the album version, and riotous Little Richard's Long Tall Sally. It is clear why Zeppelin was called the best blues-rock group in the world. But this is not the end yet. When Page started producing Coda album, he fully remixed the opening track and added several guitar overdubs, from which the album version is made. The audience cheer and live reverb has been completely eliminated, making this tune sounding just like the studio outtake. A definitive must have!

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Fixin' To Die (Gold Standard), Tocatta & Fugue (no label & Tarantura), & Valhalla I am Coming (Mandala Records)

      A really good performance, the first concert of their first full-fledged European tour and the only one the band gave in Finland. Robert's voice is simply wonderful, Page's guitar sound comes to the fore, and the entire band just cooks throughout the whole set. The opening medley of We're Gonna Groove and I Can't Quit You Baby is sounding fairly, but Dazed And Confused is eerie and performed well despite some guitar issues. A solid Heartbreaker is next that adds a relish to the level of playing. White Summer is obscenely introduced as “white cock“ and Since I've Been Loving You sounds now much closer to the version on Led Zeppelin III than the previous version from London concert. The face-melting How Many More Times finds Jimmy in his own world while playing some improvisational licks at the beginning and later on. The medley has some really obscure and great references thrown in too, featuring rather rarely performed CC Rider from Elvis Presley's repertoire and Gene Vincent's Be-Bop-A-Lula that has been played only two times in the band's career. A rare but priceless insight into the band's constant evolution. What Is And What Should Never Be is temporarily dropped, and Whole Lotta Love is now a regular and tasty encore.

      The legendary Nobs gig and a treat at once. The band was prepared to play as The Nobs because an irate relative of the Zeppelin airship family, Eva Von Zeppelin, threatened to sue the band if they use their name in her home country, but this was finally found as not true and Led Zeppelin performed under its original, full name. The show is devastating ... the performance is complete except for the first two songs missing from the tape, but those are not available anywhere. Jimmy's playing is out of this world on Dazed And Confused and Heartbreaker, but this evening belongs to the rhythm section. Jones and Bonham are simply amazing throughout. The intensity of Jones organ and superb drumming from Bonham during Since I've Been Loving You and Thank You are well highlighted. The usually great How Many More Times starts in a wild ruckus, the medley is yet not so extended but full of great tunes, and the ending is a pure climax. What follows is a six-part batch of encores, including cocking Whole Lotta Love and fast Communication Breakdown, two great Eddie Cochran hits that are repeating the Royal Albert Hall epic finale, another early version of Bring It On Home with a jam featuring a short clip of Cream's Cat's Squirrel, and energetic Long Tall Sally. Just before the last encore, Plant said to the audience, “We'd like to say thank you very much for receiving us back again, after last time we came here with Country Joe And The Fish. We've gotta say that I don't think we've changed much, but an incredible change in playing. We'd like to dedicate this to the wonderful clubs in Copenhagen, and until we come back again this is how we'd like you to remember us.“

      One of the best and most energetic performances from the entire tour, available in great sounding audience and soundboard tapes. The loud audience is hyped out of their minds and the group feed off of this to offer a killer spectacle, with some of the best playing ever. The intensity of the rhythm section is breathtaking, as showed on We're Gonna Groove and I Can't Quit You Baby, which are delivered with guts. Dazed And Confused is still a psychedelic masterpiece and a stunning example of the band's "thigh but loose" virtuosity, and where Plant sings a unique second verse which introduces a bit of levity in the piece, “I’ve been wonderin’ and I’ve been wandering / tell me what can I do? / I’m in love with a sweet little girl / and she looks exactly like you. But baby let them / say what they will / It’s gonna work out fine now / nothing can change my mind … but I will.” This show surely produces the best live version of Heartbreaker ever played live, proceeded with a Rice Pudding introduction taken from just the released second album of the Jeff Beck Group. Since I've Been Loving You is perhaps one of the most powerful early recording of the piece, and Thank You is a real treasure here, it features a great guitar solo, and is preceded by an amazing short organ introduction that incorporates a bit of Tim Hardin's Hang On To A Dream in the middle. John Bonham almost crushes his drum kit during the long solo in Moby Dick and How Many More Times reaches more than twenty-five minutes, and is one of the most intense recordings of the medley available from this period full of classics. Two aggressive and high-energetic encores in the form of Whole Lotta Love and Communication Breakdown makes this concert a tremendously exciting document. A must-listen!

      This is simply not the best show, and Pagey seems to be a bit out of tune and this caused a lack of energy that is present on almost all other gigs from this tour. The start is just fair, with a good rendition of I Can't Quit You Baby. Dazed And Confused is notable for the malfunction during the violin bow episode in the middle. The Echoplex failed and after as Page plays around with it for a bit trying to get it to work on it again, he stops finally and apologizes to the audience and blames the road manager without batting an eye. With much surprise, a still fresh Heartbreaker has the groovy Rice Pudding introduction threw once again. Other notable moments are a nice version of White Summer and another early rendition of Since I've Been Loving You. What Is And What Should Never Be is again dropped from the setlist, or it was simply not taped this time. Some very interesting things are noted during How Many More Times medley, a short snippet of Willie Dixon's Woman You Need Love theme, from which the band adapted melody and lyrics for Whole Lotta Love, is played here only once in their career and is an undisputable gem. The encore has also never surfaced on any version of this show, and probably it has been not performed.

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Hamburg 1970 (Immigrant), Hamburg 1970 1st Night (no label), Lili Marleen (Tarantura), & Mystery European Gig (The Symbols)

      Another one of the really good gigs from the first European tour. Robert's voice is amazing as always and the band plays some really intense music, but Jimmy is out of tune at a few spots. We're Gonna Groove sounds solid, and a tasty and bluesy I Can't Quit You Baby follows next. Dazed And Confused is still evolving and is performed brilliantly, the playing is fast and fluid in front of the wall of rhythm created by Jones and Bonham. Page makes the Theremin just before the bow solo section, which sounds haunting. His quiet riff intro to Heartbreaker before leading the band in full force is quite dramatic, White Summer progresses day by day, and not yet recorded Since I've Been Loving You is very passionate and intense. Usually storming Moby Dick keeps the audience in excitement, and Plant has some fun time introducing the whole band at the start of How Many More Times, eventually managing to present “Johnny John Paul Jones, Jumping John Bonham, Jiving Jimmy Page, and Rocking Robert Plant.“ The long medley is great and Robert leads the band through a pastiche of great oldies and other obscure blues lyrics (and this including the original arrangement of Travelling Riverside Blues from Robert Johnson's repertoire as well as Muddy Waters' Long Distance Call classic) before closing the show with a great version of the sole encore Whole Lotta Love.

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Everybody Everybody (Image Quality), Hamburg 1970 2nd Night (no label), & Lili Marleen (Tarantura)

      The second Hamburg show and a really energetic one, played in front of a light-hearted crowd. Robert's voice is very strong, and Jimmy seems to be playing faster and better than he did even a week before. We're Gonna Groove is groovy, and the whole band play a tongue-in-cheek interlude after I Can't Quit You Baby while Plant tries in vain to get the house lights turned off. Jimmy makes his guitar squeal in pain and ecstasy during the epic journey of a solo in Dazed And Confused, and the masterful White Summer/Black Mountain Side medley is a very intense version. A couple of gigglers around the taper are continuously joking and laughing here and there, making some funny but also irritating comments between or during the songs. Since I've Been Loving You sounds dramatic and subtle, and Thank You provides some more exultation during an energetic guitar solo. Due to some cuts in the tape, What Is And What Should Never Be is either missing or not played on this night. The long How Many More Times has the whole band playing at the highest level, and the medley is again great and almost as interesting as the day prior, packed with lots of old blues references, it also features the first known rendition of Ravel's Bolero. Unfortunately, the end of the only encore Whole Lotta Love is missing.

      The last show of their first real European tour features a somewhat unusual setlist. This is also a bit of uneven performance beacuse of some sloppiness. The band cast aside the opening song We’re Gonna Groove in favour of Communication Breakdown that sounds almost fully improvised by Page at places. Bonzo still sounds confused after the first verse, trying to start the old opener, but the band continues on with a mediocre quality version of I Can't Quit You Baby. There are also some problems with the guitar at the beginning of the middle solo in Dazed And Confused that makes Plant trying to keep up but without any good results. On the contrary, Heartbreaker has a fascinating introduction and the song itself sounds quite powerful, and White Summer/Black Mountain Side is a real masterpiece, as usual during this period. Jimmy's fingers are incredibly nimble and fly across the fretboard effortlessly from tranquillity to a storm in seconds. Since I've Been Loving You is delicate and Moby Dick adds some required energy to the overal atmophere. A solid How Many More Times is preceded by an excellent short instrumental jam and includes a lot of humorous commentary by Robert on the lyrics he's singing, letting us all in on the joke, and has the audience in stitches. The medley is repeating a programme from other versions. The band ends the event with a blistering Whole Lotta Love, much to the excitement of the crowd.

      Perhaps the earliest Led Zeppelin bootleg to be produced was the forty-minute soundboard fragment from the first show of the fifth North American tour. A really raw, visceral performance, with Robert's voice immensely strong and the bass/guitar/drum interplay reaching exhilarating peaks like We're Gonna Groove. Heartbreaker is still raw but very dynamic and has already a unique introduction that soon evolve into a psychedelic opening played on Echoplex. The American premiere of Since I've Been Loving You is bluesy and soulful, and this version is absolutely fantastic as Thank You does. What Is And What Should Never Be is just as the album version, and the band are loose enough to quote a few bits from Neil Young's Cowgirl In The Sand, Buffalo Springfield's For What Its Worth, Barbra Streisand's People and their own Ramble On in an improvised middle section of Communication Breakdown played probably as the sole encore. The nature of the soundboard tape, which has all the songs out of proper sequence, strongly suggests it was edited for the initial vinyl release to fit onto one disc and raises the question about the rest of the soundboard. Since it has been more than fifty years, the rest is probably lost for good. Highly recommended!

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Denver 1970 (The Diagrams Of Led Zeppelin)

      A really explosive and energetic show with not yet unsettled setlist. If only the sound quality was better ... Robert's voice is excellent and the band plays with guts. Slow and steady is the pace, although the faster numbers have the band taking full flight, led by the amazing guitar of Jimmy Page. I Can't Quit You Baby is played here for the final time before being dropped from the regular set. Heartbreaker and Dazed And Confused are expressive and have sections that are ahead of their time, they wouldn't be regular additions for another year or so. Plant made some nice commentary as for their last visit in Denver, “About eighteen months ago, we played our very first ever gig in the United States in this Coliseum (sic!) and so much has happened since then. We'd like to say that we really are pleased to be back.“ The White Summer/Black Mountain Side medley is also absent, one make wonder what might happen. Since I've Been Loving You and Thank You are impressive. The already long How Many More Times medley is a killer, with a very rare reference to I Can't Be Satisfied of Muddy Waters tune, and a really psychedelic version of Whole Lotta Love caps the event.

      This is one of the best gigs from the tour and their first visit to the fabulous Forum. The band is on and Robert's voice is perfect, controlled and his entire range is used, resulting in one of his finest recorded vocal performances. “Good evening. Does everybody feel alright?! Tonight we intend to get everybody looser than anybody's ever been loose, even with cod liver oil. So you must help us, right?“ tells Plant just as the show starts. This is the first time when they play Dazed And Confused right after We're Gonna Groove and it rocks. Heartbreaker features now a great echo-heavy intro and some wonderful playing from Jimmy in his solo in the middle but Plant calmed down the audience after the song, which starting to be very rowdy. Since I've Been Loving You was dedicated to “the little men with the suits on who keep pushing everybody back down the aisle“ and is simply great and Thank You is very emotional and sounds magnificent. The audience going nuts with a twenty-minute drum solo in Moby Dick and is really crazy, when Robert humorously introduced the whole band at the beginning of a very extended and powerful How Many More Times as “the four survivors of the Graf Zeppelin“, John Bonham as “for the benefit of Mr Kite“ and Pagey as “the man who made rock, rock“. The long medley is wild and one of a kind, as it features lots of obscure classics as well as Plant's attempts to get the house lights turned off and keep the crowd from getting out of control. After that, two highly-energetic encores summarize the whole evening. Whole Lotta Love features a duel between Jimmy on the Theremin and Jonesy on a heavily distorted organ, and is followed by a very furious version of Communication Breakdown, which features a bit of Neil Young's Down By The River in the groovy breakdown section. A must-listen!

      This performance is not as intense as the previous show, but the playing is really good. Robert's voice seems a little creaky, but the band is in good health. We're Gonna Groove is an excellent opening track and then is a pregnant pause before the band go right into a dark and quite intense Dazed And Confused again. Page does inadvertently go into the fast part too early at one point, but it just makes for another very interesting version. The sound gives his bow solo a haunting feel, conjuring up sounds from the bowels of darkness. Heartbreaker features the spacey Echoplex introduction again, and this is an interesting contrast from the bombastic riff that follows. The segue into Bring It On Home was a right choice, hearing Plant switch from singing to blowing the harmonica is amazing. An emotional but rather average versions of Since I've Been Loving You and Thank You follows, but the recording cuts out during the long drum solo in Moby Dick. The rest of the show is missing, and all of How Many More Times and possibly at least one encore is gone. The story says that the taper only brought one tape to the concert.

      This is a very good clip from this date. White Summer/Black Mountain Side is a great virtuosic performance from Jimmy. His playing is just incredible, very fast and times quite aggressive and gentle at others. How Many More Times has a great introduction before it really gets kick-started. This medley is hot ... it features a rare references to Elvis Presley's I Feel So Bad and the Nashville Teens' Tobacco Road, and Page has an obsession with playing For What It's Worth during the whole song. Not only does he use it as an introduction, but reintroduces it after the first verse and includes it during the medley. Curiously, Plant doesn't sing any of its lyrics. A shame, complete recording would reveal another great performance.

      The playing in this show is very good but not stellar when compared to many others during this era, married also with rowdy audience and equipment problems. After a rather flaccid We're Gonna Groove, where Plant misses the final verse and where his microphone just cut out halfway through the middle, he apologizes and explains, “We've only had this PA for three nights.“ He also makes mention of the problem again during the first verses of Dazed And Confused before the PA briefly fails completely. This causes the rest of the song to be tentative on the band’s part, and Jimmy especially. Plant acknowledges this before a notable version of White Summer, where Page plays some inspiring solos. Since I've Been Loving You was dropped from the set - likely because of mentioned issues - and What Is And What Should Never Be is played earlier than usual. Moby Dick is just average this time, lacking some of its intensity known from many other versions from this tour. How Many More Times begins with a groovy drum intro to a funky jam, it also contains a sharp version of two Elvis classics, That's Alright Mama and My Baby Left Me that are played together (makes sense since they are the same composition), and a juicy reference to Honey Bee from Muddy Waters repertoire, the tune that soon will be a standard inset in the medley. To reward the audience, the band ends this gig with a cacophonous Whole Lotta Love.

(Empress Valley Supreme Disc, original 2005 & reissue 2013)

      An excellent performance captured in an exquisite sounding recording, and the whole band is simply outstanding and loose. We're Gonna Groove is a storming version and is certainly the funkiest version we have ever heard. Page seems to have some trouble with his equipment during the eriee bow solo in Dazed And Confused, and he completely disappears during the final verse, but it doesn't detract from the epic nature of the song. Heartbreaker has a fantastic, spacey-echo introduction, and this versions is really mind-blowing. Bring It On Home is probably the best version ever, featuring a great duel between Page and Bonham, and the White Summer and Black Mountain Side medley is simply out of this world. Jimmy is constantly experimenting with many new licks and themes, playing on the verge of genius. This can also be heard during the next tune, Since I've Been Loving You. Such an experimental mood gives a completely new opening notes to this fully emotional song. A short but beautiful organ solo links to a fantastic Thank You, but unfortunately the tape cuts out during an out of control soloing from Bonham during a thunderous Moby Dick. The rest is lost of what was arguably a stunning performance.

      A great and very energetic show, and Jimmy shines throughout the whole set. His playing is just as it became from another planet. The band is in top form right from the start of We're Gonna Groove, and Dazed And Confused has an extraordinary, frenzy jam in the middle, where Pagey is experiencing some tuning issues. He deals with them all in a rather seamless way. Plant treats the audience with some very funny comments while making the crowd announcement, “Will Carol Russell go to the front box office, please? Uh, hang on, I can't read this. Ha ha ha. Oh, I can't read that one. Anyway, Carol Russell to the front box office.“ White Summer is much extended now, and has some bars from a unique melody that is similar to still yet not released Bron-Yr-Aur, and the playing of Jimmy and the drumming by Bonham is just exceptional. It is quite easy to say this is one of the most delicious versions ever captured on tape. Since I've Been Loving You is another pre-record intense rendition, gorgeous Thank You has a well constructed guitar solo, and a thunderous Moby Dick leaving everyone without any hesitation. All of this is followed by tripped out and long How Many More Times that simply shines. Page adds a little Theremin to his intro and after a long lead in the band go full force into the song. The medley has a few excellent oldies thrown in, of which Elvis Presley's Mess O' The Blues marks its first known rendition here, and Robert's voice is great, and they blow everything out. The sole encore is wild and freaky Whole Lotta Love that has the whole audience at its feet. Highly recommended!

      A really good gig and newly surfaced recording comes from the radio broadcast, complete with numerously irritating comments over the music due to the fact that it was discussed to protect the tape from illegal copying back at the time. The playing is plagued by many PA issues, started with almost inaudible Robert for most part of We're Gonna Groove. He comments on this several times during the show, also injecting new lyrics at the last verse in Dazed And Confused, “Every day I work so hard bringing home my hard earned pay / I saved up my money I’m gonna buy me a new PA / I did all I could but this isn’t my PA." Jimmy is in great form, as almost always during this period. His workouts are sharp and dedicated all throughout the show, what is obviously noticeable in a muscular Heartbreaker and another excellent version of White Summer. Plant plays an exuberant harmonica during a duel in Bring It On Home. His vocal range is typical for the era, with a highly dramatic Since I've Been Loving You as a highlight. What Is And What Should Never Be is stopped abruptly just to be played again properly right after. Moby Dick follows, but because of earlier issues, How Many More Times is completely dropped in favour of two energetic and fast encores, Whole Lotta Love and Communication Breakdown, which features a great funky introduction.

      This is all that remains from this excellent, Pagey dominated show. About an hour is still missing with We’re Gonna Groove, What Is And What Should Never Be, Moby Dick and How Many More Times having yet to surface. Robert's voice is crystal clear and the band is slick and fluid, especially Page, who pushes it all to the limits. A frenzied Heartbreaker is competed with Echoplex introduction and Bring It On Home sounds like they have a lot of fun with the drums-harmonica-guitar battle, and the audience do too. Dazed And Confused features the fast jam after the bow solo that is very powerful, the entire song is just ferocious. White Summer is yet again a showcase of Page's skills and Since I've Been Loving You has been growing and becoming more dynamic musically and vocally, this attempt is sounding here more like the version that would be released later in the year.

      A phenomenal performance, the whole band is on fire, the jams are simply out of this world, and Robert's voice is amazing. This tape is the only known one to feature a bootlegger himself introducing and closing the tape with comments about the show. As it comes to the concert itself, the band is out to crush the crowd, and they certainly do. “We've waited for a long time to come to Memphis, in fact ever since we were born I think!“ said Plant. The bass/drum/guitar interplay is unreal and Page plays some breathtaking figures in Dazed And Confused and Heartbreaker, which also has a spaced-out intro and finale, and where he makes the Echoplex sound like a scratched record ... it's too much. He also plays a riff in Black Mountain Side that will later be developed into Kashmir five years later. During the epic, monstrous and longest How Many More Times ever all the things were out of control, so Plant tried to defuse the situation, “I want the policemen to put their hands together. Put those lights down! You're beautiful - even with the light on!“ And during the medley he tried to calm things down again, “All we wanna do is save our manager! Save Mr Peter Grant! Don't stand on the chairs 'cos they'll give you such shit! And also, please don't step on the rails, because your parents paid rates for them as well. They are yours but don't stand on them. They're for the hockey.“ ... “Everybody must get off those chairs - really must! They're taking our manager away! Please get off the chairs - it's no joke! ... Listen, you must respect the fact that we've come from England and everything and we weren't paid. Just please get off everything that might not be cool!“ It was reported that during as Robert tried to calm down the unruly audience, backstage the local promoter tried to coerce Peter Grant into pulling Zeppelin off the stage and when Grant refused, a gun was pulled and thrust at his stomach! The story goes that Grant response is blunt and to the point, “You can't shoot me, ya cunt. They've just given us the fucking keys to the city!“ They even found its way to treat the audience with the sole encore of an insanely psychedelic Whole Lotta Love with an exciting Theremin insertion. A must-have!

      A very good show, but also a very unexpected finish of their fifth North American escapade. The boys are in an excellent shape except for Robert - his voice is damaged, and he sang almost everything in much lower scale. This is also the last time, when We're Gonna Groove is played as the live song. Dazed And Confused is fantastic, followed by an excellent version of Heartbreaker. White Summer is very good and will be not played until the fatal last American tour, and Since I've Been Loving You is yet again dropped. At the start of Bring It On Home we can feel there's something wrong with Plant, as he tells the crowd “let me get my breath back“, avoiding the strain of the higher notes. A momentary indisposition turns out to be total exhaustion, Moby Dick is immediately followed by Whole Lotta Love, skipping How Many More Times and all the medley. Robert talks his way through the lyrics, it's obvious he's in bad shape already. He attempts a signature wail during Theremin freak-out, but gives up singing “I can't take it“. During the “way down inside“ section in Whole Lotta Love, he just quips “sometimes I don't feel so good“ before pushing himself to belt out the final “love!“ After the band leaves the stage, Page returns with an announcement that due to Plant's illness the show is over.

He was introduced by Julie Felix very kindly, “My next guest this evening is a member of certainly the most successful group to come out of Britain in the last couple of years. Led Zeppelin LPs top both the British and American charts and the lead guitarist in that group is definitely a very talented and special musician. Ladies and gentlemen ... Jimmy Page!“

      So sad these short video clips are the only fragments that survived. The legend tells the story that during this short visit to the cold island Plant had been inspiriting to write lyrics of Immigrant Song. So what did they play at the start of the show? What kind of setlist they performed that night? The long run of questions marks this date as a big mystery.

      One of the most legendary gig by Zeppelin ever certainly lives up to that, even in the average recording. Robert's voice is just amazing in its range and scope, and the band is in a blistering condition. There are two great previews: the embryonic version of Immigrant Song that features alternate lyrics that yet do not really fit the main melody, which was written just six days before, and That's The Way (still under the working title, The Boy Next Door) finds them playing acoustic ballad live for the very first time ever. Dazed And Confused is visceral and both bluesy tunes, Bring It On Home and Since I've Been Loving You, are pure delight to ears and strictly emotional. Moby Dick is long and has Bonham pounding on his drum kit with incredible force, and the much extended How Many More Times features lots of obscure oldies and the intensity of the playing is incredible. This is also the last time when they performed this song live, from all the future tours it was Whole Lotta Love that ends each of the concerts and incorporate all the medleys. An immensely powerful set of encores is married by Plant speaking to the audience prior to the final jam on the rock 'n' roll classic, “We’ve been playing a lot in America recently and we really thought that coming back here we might have a bit of a dodgy time, but we’re starting to get a bit. There are a lot of things going wrong in America at the moment, that are getting a bit sticky, and what not, and it’s really nice to come to an open air festival where there’s no really bad thing happening, and everything has carried on decently. On the news last night, on the television news. They said Shepton Mallet would never be the same, but I think it’s just added to everything that’s here already. So we’d like to do something that we probably owe to people who came a long time before. I think that every group on the scene’s got that a little bit every now and then.“ A historical document that finds the band in their most transitional period. Highly recommended!

      A really great show right after the Bath blowout, and the only one tape that surfaced from this short German tour. The performance is very intense and almost mysterious, and the band is on. Missing the beginning of Immigrant Song is a shame because what is left of the song reveals it to be played with sheer guts and excitement as is Heartbreaker. Seventeen minutes of Dazed And Confused find Page trying to take the song in several different directions. After the violin bow episode, the improvisation includes several intriguing and unique ideas. That's The Way is introduced under its title and sounds just like the album version, yet still assembling some alternate arrangements threw in, and Plant achieves the album cut's high and wailing vocals in Since I've Been Loving You with extreme ease. The main set closes with a long medley in Whole Lotta Love. This is the earliest example to document this, since they had just dropped How Many More Times. The medley is very intense, with Plant leads the band through the marathon of old blues classics., oh which the most interesting are Muddy Waters' Rollin' And Tumblin'', Jimmy Reed's Down In Virginia and another Muddy Waters classic, Hoochie Coochie Man. The tape cuts during the start of the Communication Breakdown, leaving us with just a brief snippet.

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Live In Hampton 1970 (The Diagrams Of Led Zeppelin)

      The first known performance of the sixth North American tour. It varies between great and average. The start is explosive, the guitar work in Immigrant Song sounds almost like a carbon copy of the studio version in some fragments. Instead of playing the flurry of notes, Page slows it down into a moody sustain sounding like a middle eastern funeral wail emanating from the minarets near the end, and Plant moans just like on the album version. Some unique dramatic effects can be heard in the early part of Dazed And Confused, which sounds like a sonic assault, and Bring It On Home still keeps the band in a great form. This cannot be said about the acoustic section, of which Bron-Yr-Aur is the worst, sounding like Jimmy tuning his guitar for two minutes, struggling to find the melody. The things progress within Since I've Been Loving You that sounds very dramatic and features a great guitar solo. The Whole Lotta Love medley is still quite basic and yet not so extended, and features a unique bluesy John Lee Hooker's Boogie Chillun with some alternate lyrics to it, as well as the first of two known renditions of Chuck Berry's Back In The USA. A strong encore in the form of Communication Breakdown starts with some psychedelic riffs and includes a jam based on Sly And The Family Stone's Sing A Simple Song and Good Times Bad Times in the middle.

Bootleg CD Reference(s) source mixes: New Haven 1970 (no label)

      This is a very powerful show with some amazing playing and with the whole band reaching unbelievable heights. However, the quality is just average and greatly diminishes the enjoyment of listening to this less popular recording. Immigrant Song is one big avalanche of sound, with the whole band firing on all cylinders. The massive Heartbreaker does not give a moment's rest, Page is literally present everywhere, playing with incredible finesse. Dazed And Confused is an epic version and features some amazing jams, and where the music is explored to the limits. Very unfortunately, all the middle part of the gig is taped fragmentary, leaving us with a great rendition of Bring It On Home, where we can hear their love of early Deep South blues, and a dramatic Since I've Been Loving You full of some of the best vocal licks from Plant. Moby Dick is also partial, Bonham is one of a hell drummer and his solo is breathtaking. Whole Lotta Love is yet again incomplete, and misses its opening verses and starting with the medley that is consistent and includes a great collection of old classics that squeezing the last sweat out of the listener. A great references to Elvis Presley's High Heeled Sneakers, Big Bill Broonzy's I Feel So Good, Otis Redding's Shake, and Hank Snow's I'm Moving On are among the rarest the band played so far. A raucous, long Communication Breakdown with a nearly complete Good Times Bad Times closes the event and is a killer.

      A really epic and virtuoso performance from the whole band, and Jimmy soloing is unique. Immigrant Song is very explosive, and has some excellent war cries from Plant, but as usual in America that time, crowd troubles threaten the gig. In the middle of his solo in Heartbreaker, which is one of the best ever, Jimmy stopped playing and Robert said to the members of the audience, “Actually you can turn down the house lights now. Turn the lights off! Everybody sit still. Before we carry on, the lights go down. No listen, if we're gonna have a good time and you are, we're gonna have to work hand in glove with the so-called authorities. So, you sit down and they'll be cool and turn the lights off. So let's wait for them to turn off the lights.“ But authorities obliged, so Plant added, “That's not a victory - that's common sense, so don't take it as a victory!“ Page quickly picks up where he left off and gets into the hoedown picking that leads into a blistering solo. Lots of little surprises are here, a rare snippet of White Summer and Black Mountain Side is played at the end of another incredible version of Dazed And Confused. Both Bring It On Home and Since I've Been Loving You are superb, the acoustic set is nice and mellow, and the short medley of Organ Solo and Thank You sounds idyllic but majestic at the same time. Whole Lotta Love is usually amazing, and the medley is fabulous, including the only known live reference to Carl Perkin's Matchbox. The standard encore of Communication Breakdown features a bit of Ike And Tina Turner Revue's Bold Soul Sister and a spacey Theremin bursts toward the end of the song.

      This is all that survived from this gig. It could have been another great performance, what is clearly listenable in the available fragment, but the recording is distorted and sounds terrible. A usual setlist and sheer power that stuck with big size of venue and the acoustic set is not as much anticipated as expected from noisy, hyped-up audience. Jimmy and the rest of the band are in top form, and the usual highlights featuring a great Heartbreaker and a massive and still evolving Dazed And Confused. A real treat here, it was taped by a few Mexican tourists walking around the city with a cassette tape recorder, they just went in to check it and left.

      This is one of those live shows where right from the beginning it is evident the band is on top form. Robert's war cries in Immigrant Song are chilling and incredibly high and powerful. This is one of the best gigs from that tour we have ever heard in terms of his vocals and its power and range. Heartbreaker sounds very expressive, making another stellar performance. Dazed And Confused is a unique version, which features Plant singing about ruling the world before Page gets into a funky stop-start riff that sounds very groovy, and the final verse has a completely different lyrics. The whole band is incredible during Bring It On Home and Since I've Been Loving You, turning them both into incredibly powerful and excellent examples of Zeppelin's early works. Robert is in a joy fool mood too, joking with the vivid audience, “What we're hoping to do is get on that Saturday morning children's television. Good rock groups should.“ The rest of the tape is missing.

      A really excellent performance, with an unusual and exciting string of encores. Robert is in incredible voice from start to finish, but the rest of the band never fails to deliver a spot-on performance worthy of an official release if it were available in pro quality. The opening blast of Immigrant Song is probably one of the most perfect live reproduction of this song ever, Dazed And Confused is an intense version with a haunting bow solo accompanied by spooky moans from Plant, and Bring It On Home makes the whole crowd going nuts. The acoustic set is greeted with impatience from them, which causes Robert to scold them a little bit, “We’ve got an album that is due for release in about three weeks time called Led Zeppelin III. And we’d like to do a couple of things from it tonight. The first one is an acoustic thing which requires us to sit down so give us two minutes.” Since I've Been Loving You is delivered with usual intimacy and dramaturgy, and the ending of the show is simply wild and spectacular, starting with a more than twenty-minute Whole Lotta Love that features lots of great surprises, of which Carl Perkins' Boppin' The Blues, the first version of For Worth It's Worth with lyrics, and the only known rendition of Benny Spellman's Fortune Teller are the good examples of the flexibility, and continuing with a visceral and extended Communication Breakdown as the first encore featuring once again Good Times Bad Times during an especially funky breakdown. The concert ends with three more rarities in a row. The Train Kept A Rollin' is played for the only time as an encore anywhere, moody Blueberry Hill from the repertoire of Fats Domino follows for the very first time, and an incredibly fast and riotous Long Tall Sally of Little Richard ends this spectacular evening. Highly recommended!

      Another excellent and wild show from this bunch of dates in California, unfortunately with just a poor quality. The band is harassed by a rowdy audience who seem to take pleasure in irritating them with shouting and lots of firecrackers, what resulting Plant to make a brief comments in between some songs. The opening salvo of Immigrant Song and Heartbreaker is breath-takingly fast and furious, and Dazed And Confused is an unquestionable highlight. The equipment problems with Page's acoustic guitar causes the group to abandon Bron-Yr-Aur from the set completely, so they get right into a beautiful Since I've Been Loving You. The organ solo before Thank You still evolves, this time brings some unique playing from Jonesy. Moby Dick is exciting and powerful, and the medley in Whole Lotta Love is usually a master class of musical history on the Blues, with rare renditions of Albert King's Crosscut Saw Blues and Little Walter's I've Got To Find My Baby. As we can expect, the sole encore is Communication Breakdown, played here without any medley during the funky breakdown.

      This show is the cornerstone of the band's bootleg discography. The original double disc vinyl set was released soon after the concert, and has been in print in one form or another for more than the past fifty years. It captures Zeppelin at their fun and most energetic best, and the quality is excellent, too. A great late DJ JJ Jackson made his appearance tonight introducing the band on stage. “Good evening! Nice to be back. This is gotta be about the sixth time.“ stated Plant after storming Immigrant Song and Heartbreaker medley. A kicking spectacle with a very Hendrix-inspired Dazed And Confused that features a mesmerizing middle jam can be heard next, and the vigorous Bring It On Home finds the whole building shakes during the middle section. That's The Way was introduced to the audience with much appreciation, so Plant commented that, “It gives us great pleasure to hear that. We've had a bit of abuse in the Midwest, every time you sit on a chair and pick up a mandolin.“ Since I've Been Loving You and Thank You are just gorgeous versions, with Plant and Page heightening the dramatic effect and where Jonesy is still dealing with his organ improvisations. A rowdy audience threw a few firecrackers onstage, what provoked the vocalist to ask, “Who throw that firecracker? You ought to be locked up!“ Whole Lotta Love is an explosion of atomic energy that ends with the best blues rendition of Muddy Waters' Honey Bee and The Lemon Song thus far, which includes the great Plant adlib, “I don't care how hard you squeeze it mama, just take your teeth out before you get into bed.“ Probably the best version of Communication Breakdown ever features an extended medley during the breakdown. Good Times Bad Times is followed by Sing A Simple Song of Sly And The Family Stone, then an almost full version of Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth links to a superb reference to I Saw Her Standing There from the Fab Four before the band join in for an explosive finale. To everyone's surprise, the first known recording of Out On The Tiles live is here, as well as Blueberry Hill that ends this historical event in the best way possible. Absolutely must have!

      A much abbreviated recording that is dominated by the amazing voice of Plant and Page's guitar. The band plays exceptionally well, and they blow everything off the stage with a great feeling. Due to some reasons, the set is much shortened and this is all that exist from the afternoon show. Jones leads the group right into Dazed And Confused after Immigrant Song, causing a really spontaneous change in the setlist. Then Plant introduced, “This is one from the second album. It's about a mean woman - as they usually are!“ and Heartbreaker is performed as well. This version is awesome, with a really nice Since I've Been Loving You being played next instead of Bring It On Home. Some equipment problems plague the show, what caused Robert to quite funny commentary, “The group's been renamed The Box Of Tricks - 'cos we don't know what these things really are, but they come with us everywhere we go.“ This is not a much better gig than the one two nights before, but has a quite different mood and is loaded with guts, power, and shorter, more focused versions of the songs. The evening performance is known only from a short video fragment, but reveals that Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and Out On The Tiles - as well as probably a full set - were played that night.

      Another stunning show in front of a really out of control crowd. DJ JJ Jackson again introduced the band. Before they play a note, Plant ask the audience, “We’re gonna be a couple of seconds while we change guitars. Yeah can … the police say can you move back out of the aisles for a few minutes? Just to be cool and everything, cause we want to make this a really good feeling. So let’s just clear the aisles for a while. Please, then everything’s alright.” His voice is simply amazing, hitting some of the highest screams and wails ever recorded to really pack an emotional wallop in Immigrant Song. He sometimes sings higher and stronger than on some of the album versions during this evening. He also gets the verses mixed up during Heartbreaker, getting a bit lost in the process. Jimmy plays some exceptional guitar licks, and Jones and Bonham are simply unstoppable during the long middle section in Dazed And Confused, where the whole band is locked into each other in a frenzied tempo. A restrained and well-behaved audience is well documented during the acoustic section too, and they give the band, and Page especially, a huge ovation. The string of more delicate compositions in such as Since I've Been Loving You and Thank You makes the audience a bit more respectful before they explode during Bonham's drum solo and within the opening bars of a visceral version of Whole Lotta Love. Usually great medley is a long section plenty of great references, with Ramble On and another version of Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth as a highlight, and a totally fast encore, Communication Breakdown closes the show in a trashing manner.

      The band ended a successful third year of activity by making their debut at Madison Square Garden with two sold-out shows, and this is the afternoon set. Immigrant Song is playing with fury, and a heavy Dazed And Confused has some tasty bluesy licks during the initial verses. You can hear a vendor selling binoculars passing near the taper during the bow solo, a taste of time. During Bring It On Home, the whole audience claps along to the guitar and drums duel. The acoustic section is performed in a fair constance and features a nice guitar workout from Page and Jones duo. Before What Is And What Should Never Be Plant paid tribute to Jimi Hendrix, who died only one day earlier in London, “I think it's really hard ever having to say something about something that's quite a delicate point. But yesterday something happened - Jimi Hendrix died and we're all very sorry because he contributed a lot to the current music thing, and we'd like to just hope that everybody thinks it's a real shame ... Jimi Hendrix!“ A bit strange organ solo and dramatic Thank You making this concert interesting and Robert once again attempts to prevent a confrontation between the crowd and the authorities just before another great Whole Lotta Love and Communication Breakdown played as the only encore, but just listen to the evening set.

      Great audience recording for this era of technology, and of Zep live, pleasure to listen to. The performance is a monster, likely the best from the entire tour, at the outset seems to take a while to get going ... the opening salvo of Immigrant Song is just devastating and gets the whole building into a shake, and Robert improvises a "sit down, sit down" lyric for the first verse of Dazed And Confused. Bring It On Home is really intense and from this point the band seems to have "won the audience over". Plant again pays tribute to Jimi Hendrix, who had died the day prior, and Since I've Been Loving You has some unique ensemble improvisation and a great guitar solo. Jonesy is really stretching out in his organ solo, with what sounds like pitch-bending/shifting, and the crowd seems to love it. Thank You is sublime, and Bonham plays to the last drop of sweat in Moby Dick. The unique version of Whole Lotta Love does make it a strong "holy grail" candidate - it even briefly includes The Train Kept A Rollin’ and Cinnamon Girl from Neil Young's second album, among plenty of other great references. The rest of the medley is jaw-dropping and worth of every single penny. Before as the song starts, Robert says: “What we want to do is try to choose a good number to go on with.” The rest of the show is utterly devastating. Out On The Tiles is a raved-up, rhythm-move-along version, and the last time when they performed it live. It links directly to Communication Breakdown that is visceral and includes Gallows Pole verses performed for the very first time live, and the crowd is going nuts. Spontaneous Girl Can't Help It, Talking 'Bout You and Twenty Flight Rock encore medley is priceless, and we're lucky to have it captured on tape. If this wasn't enough, the band want to keep ensuring that their audience has a good time, so How Many More Times, along with an excellent and long medley of odd tunes follows. A must-have!
