Don't get me wrong The Stones are a great band in their own right, but at the end of the day The Stones could not even hold Zepplins equipment as rodies.
Holy FREAKIN A! This is the best god damn version I've heard of Heartbreaker! They KILLED it! I'm so happy they gave this level of performance there. And yes 4:38-4:50 was so neat. The crowd gave out a pleasing cry! What an audience.
Here's a list of their albums and the year those albums were released so no one makes this mistake again: Led Zeppelin: 1969 Led Zeppelin II: 1969 Led Zeppelin III: 1970 "IV": 1971 Houses Of The Holy: 1973 Physical Graffiti: 1975 Presence: 1976 The Song Remains The Same: 1976 but the concert is from 1973. In Through the Out Door: 1979 (The year I was born.) Coda: 1982 but the songs on there were recorded before the 80's. Led Zeppelin formed in 1968 and ended in 1980. Amen
They really need to release a recording of their performances from 1971... They were so good then. (I know BBC sessions has parts from '71, but it doesn't rock has hard as other shows they did from the same year). I believe this is around the time they were in their prime as musicians.
IV wasn't released in 1974, but Physical Graffiti was, if that's what you're thinking of. Remember, "The Song Remains the Same" contains Black Dog, as does "How the West Was Won," which were from 1973 and 1972 respectively. IV was released on November 8, 1971. Also, mind you that they would have written the songs and probably performed them before they were released on album as promotion. I know they did that for Stairway.
Bluesbreaking, Jimmy Page has said that most of the stuff he put on Zeppelin records was already written by 1970, mostly from improv during gigs and writing on the road. Also, Zeppelin always had complications with their albums' releases. For example Led Zeppelin IV has no writing on it, which was (and is to this day) unheard of to not put at least the bands name. The only hint of it being Zeppelin was that it credited Page as producer in the inside sleeve. With Houses of the Holy they.....
(cont.).. had complications with the album cover art with the naked children. Atlantic hated the idea but legally had to do it (their contract stated Zeppelin had complete control of what was released and artwork and such courtesy of Peter Grant). So yes, Zeppelin always played their songs months before the album was released. Even their first album, it represented a typical gig for them at the time.
@WolfCoalition ~ good ear, the first part around 4:40 is 'feeling groovy' by simon and grafunkel, the second part around 4:50 is 'bouree in e minor' by j. s. bach. led zeppelin was about 2 years old in this. brilliant eh?
I love the early Led Zep bootlegs:)

@Pagedrixton I agree. Early Zeppelin is my favourite. It all got a bit bloated after 73'. Still amazing though.

Agreed! 70 and 71, Like SIBLY from The Vancouver Show 1970. Orgasmic!

This can't have been in 1971 can it? Led Zep IV was only released in '74 so stuff like black dog an STH won't even have been written in 1971
no1gret 2 years ago
yeah it fits, IV was released at the tail end of 1971. they had probably started playing the songs at gigs before they recorded it.
they formed in 68 and had two albums out by the end of 69, they were a busy band at the beginning!

You should find Moby Dick from this show where Bonzo does the military drum beats, it is my favorite version of the song.

at 4:40 sounds like Feeling Groovy - Simon & Garfunkel (1966) and then, obviosly, the Bourree in e-minor (JS Bach)
