Description
Led Zeppelin. Blueberry Hill. 4 September 1970. Los Angeles Forum. Titanic Records 9001.
1970.09.04 Inglewood, LA Forum - The show which yielded probably the most famous Led Zeppelin bootleg of them all: "Live on Blueberry Hill," named on account of the final encore of this classic show. The second Led Zeppelin show ever to be bootlegged, and even then, back in late 1970, two different recordings circulated. By now, numerous AUD recordings of this show circulate, and various combinations of them allow for the complete show.
Noted for rare performances of Zep songs:
Side 1: Immigrant Song/Heartbreaker medley incl. Bouree/Dazed And Confused (26:14)
Side 2: What Is And What Should Never Be/Moby Dick/Communication Breakdown medley incl. Good Times Bad Times, For What It's Worth, I Saw Her Standing There, She Was Just Seventeen (26:53) ? Side 3: Since I've Been Loving You/Organ Improvisation/Thank You/Out On The Tiles/Blueberry Hill (27:00)
Side 4: Bring It On Home/Whole Lotta Love medley incl. Boogie Chillun, I'm Moving On, Redhouse, Some Other Guy, Think It Over, Honey Bee, The Lemon Song (26:46)?Recording: Fair-Good mono audience. Source: The Forum, Inglewood, Los Angeles, California Sept. 4 '70.

I'm having a cathartic clear out which I'll probably regret. Here is a copy of 'Blueberry Hill' by Led Zep which I bought in the early eighties.
I recorded it to tape and played the tape in order to save playing the vinyl much. It has not been played more than ten times and has been stored away for years. A search on the internet reveals it is one of the 'must-have' bootlegs largely due to its rare playlist and medleys. Wikipedia reveals it is an 'audience capture' bootleg rather than a soundboard one.
You can see the vinyl in the photographs. The recording has some static crackles and pops though there are no skips or jumps. It is a mono sound from an audience derived recording and you should note that this is nothing like the quality of an official Jimmy Page produced record! On my good hi-fi it sounds a little like it's coming out of a box - I suspect it always did - I just didn't used to notice in my blind enthusiasm! I think this is what they mean when they say the sound quality of the audience recording is fair to good (see above). I'm being honest to encourage you to buy this for the interest and fabulous playlist rather than recording quality. Happy to offer full refund (you pay postage) if you are not happy.
The cover colour is wearing on the left, and there is a slight fold crease across the top left corner.
However if you are interested in classic vinyl bootlegs this will be of fantastic interest. I still find the version of 'Since I've been loving you' and the 'Whole Lotta Love Medley' astonishing.
Watch out for my four album 'Destroyer' coming up which is soundboard recording and has fantastic sound. See my other items for Zep stuff like a rare recording (vinyl single) of Travelling Riverside Blues, Signed Robert Plant record, Jimmy Page single etc.
I'm starting this at £0.99 so you can decide. Grab a bargain and let that boy b, b, b, boogie.
