SCARCE LONG GONE 2xLP COLLECTIBLE!
LONDON LIVE
(PRIVATE PRESS)
IN 1969 Led Zeppelin stormed London’s Lyceum with a marathon action packed show. A capacity crowd cheered them to the echo of a raving rock finale in which backstage fans were seen dancing in the wings.
The group was in tremendous form. Robert Plant offered screaming vocals and Jimmy Page offered screaming guitar – a combination guaranteed to send audiences wild. The set begins with devastating power that remains throughout the show as ZEP was trying to achieve the most overwhelming sound they could muster.
The New Musical Express, in reviewing the gig, stated that “over 2,000 people at £1 a head packed the famous ballroom to see Led Zeppelin” but called the performance “less than inspiring.” (Among the crowd was a young Freddie Mercury who, just a month before, sang “Communication Breakdown” with his band Ibex in a gig in Liverpool). While there are a few rough edges, it is ultimately a very good gig for the time. The MC announces the band before the come on stage and play the opening bars of “Good Times, Bad Times” and, instead of playing the song, segue right into “Communication Breakdown” instead. It’s played much like the studio recording except for a short instrumental interlude before it segues right into “I Can’t Quit You.” The Willie Dixon cover served as the second number of the set since their first show in Copenhagen (and would survive until the spring tour of the US), and it sounds like a sledgehammer attacking the stage. Plant then says, “I don’t know what to say. It was a long drive down from Birmingham. We’d like to continue with something off the new, the Led Zeppelin II thing that’s been running into a lot of difficulties just lately.” The new song probably had its live premier the previous week in Holland and, much like the Paris performance, closely follows the studio recording (including the solo). “You Shook Me” is introduced as a song from an old EP called Muddy Waters Twist. The Led Zeppelin track was still one of the main vehicles in the set to showcase Page’s improvisational talent in conjuring the heaviest riffs imaginable. It is one of the songs that really whips the audience into a frenzy. The second new song is “What Is And What Should Never Be.” Plant’s introduction rambles on a bit, saying that “we fiddled about with in a bar in Vancouver. If you’ve ever been to Vancouver, it’s something like … let’s see, if you ever get lucky, don’t go to Vancouver. I can’t tell you about without a tent whistle. Anyway, this is a thing that John Peel said people were having a lot of trouble getting into, and Liverpool wound up beating the [Wolverhampton] Wolves…” The set continues with “How Many More Times” which, Plant complains, “they won’t let us do it on the radio.” Like the Paris performance, there is a reference to Holst’s Mars and The Yardbirds’ “Over Under Sideways Down,” among others...Led Zeppelin don’t do anything that is so revolutionary or new. They just play heavy rock the best, and no arguing! (A) Good Times Bad Times / Communication Breakdown I Can’t Quit You Heartbreaker (B) You Shook Me What Is And What Should Never Be (C) Dazed And Confused (D) How Many More Times Eyesight To The Blind Let That Boy Boogie WoogieThe Cover: The deluxe color cover is VG++ there is a small shelf wear starting but nothing to cause anyone interested to turn it down.
