A Skull Crushing Pre-FM Soundboard @flac

Reel Master>dat>flac

BBC recording session at the Paris Cinema Studio on 4/01/1971, for John Peel's In Concert show on Radio One, in front of a lucky crowd of 400. The group was originally booked on 3/25, but were forced to reschedule due to Robert Plant experiencing throat problems.

**** 

The reason why "BBC IN CONCERT"(2CD)(PEOPLE'S CHOICE/FSS 99-005) was selected as No.1 is that it contains "Whole Lotta Love" medley, which had been cut from every boot and official "BBC SESSIONS" (including the FM broadcast in Japan in 1995 or 1996). The "Whole Lotta Love" medley, which had been cut in every "BBC SESSIONS" (including the FM broadcast in Japan in 1995 or 1996), was recorded without any cuts.

Even if this was a pseudo-completed version that had been edited together (the editor-in-chief of Boot Poisoning, who has probably listened to this medley the most in the world, could not find any trace of editing even after thoroughly investigating the suspicious parts and had to admit that it was uncut), it is such an amazing editing, It was also recognized as the first complete recording of the most famous and most booted live performance in ZEP boot history in its 28th year.

Now we have discussed Led Zepp boots at length I think and I have maintained that the long Lost legendary Bootleg of the Southampton University gig was long the holy grail of bootlegs sought and I maintained it was even better than the official live album Mothership . . . . . . and then comes this!

BBC Paris Theatre pre-FM broadcast quality so this is simply indispensable and staggering quality from the Boss over at HQ

. . . . . what you gonna do!? Listen, share, download and for pity’s sake 

TURN IT UP!

so it frightens the neighbours!


note available as FLAC or playback at MP3 quality (see below)




Now I should perhaps point out that the version Silent Way has posted links to today is way above the quality of this video here IMHO and this above should be thought of as just a taster only and should you wish you can also stream it at this superior quality here on The ARCHIVE
