So here’s a debate!
For years it was thought the largely best Led Zeppelin Bootleg EVER was the legendary “rare” Southampton University gig of 1973 often featured and spoken of in hushed tones as the 'long lost legendary' etc etc. Until it surfaced again some years ago. Now I went banging on about it when finally getting my hands on a fine quality download some time ago and was often on record as saying variously you only needed “one Led Zepp bootleg and this was it" to it actually being "better than the official release of Mothership" (it isn’t really but its awful close, quality leaves out a bit to Mothership but the actual singular performance is just Led Zeppelin in their absolute prime at the Southampton gig. There is a rumour and shared view that post 72 Plant's voice is shot well not on the Southampton gig - it wasn’t!
Now someone who is all over this is Paul at Albums That Should Exist who posted a new version treated by him of the University of Southampton gig the other week (see below) now he has just posted and done some work on the equally legendary Royal Albert Hall performance of 1970 and it is (as is always the case) worth reading Paul’s notes on this evening’s set (not least the bands awareness that John Lennon, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck all were reported to have tickets for this concert so they best be on their absolute best form!) and boy were they ever!? Despite the existing RAH performance having some clear flaws at least in my early versions some drop outs and missing tracks even, Paul has done himself and the rest of us proud here by finding matching clips to drop back in and tweaks to the existing quality so that this one now takes over the mantel of Best Led Zeppelin bootleg of all time in my humble opinion.
Down load both and see what you think!
They are both really worth having and if you had to have but two such ROIO’s these two would make it to the top of my list all day long!
Enjoy! Why, I nearly kissed the dog! Black or otherwise!
This concert is two hours and 28 minutes long.
