I'm a huge fan of the Destroyer bootleg - I was wondering what everyone's favorite led zep bootleg apart from Destroyer is? I need to start getting more bootlegs, and not sure where to start! Thanks...

Oh boy. First I'd recommend searching these forums - there are several threads on this. By all means don't just pay attention to me, but here's a list of many of my favorite available shows, with some recommendations on specific boots/sources:

Which ever one I'm listening to right now!

The O2 show is still my favorite bootleg because there is nothing else quite like it in existence. There are tons of better performances available but there is something different about this show than from the official releases and the 1968-1980 bootlegs.

Yeah Bobbys voice is shite and Bonham junoir is bashing the skins.

EVSD's "When We Were Kings" or "Demand Unprecedented in the History of Rock Music" DVD of the same show
(5/25/75), or Winston Remaster's "Mike the Mike 6-21-77, 6-25-77, and 6-27-77" Also would recommend nearly any version of 9/29/71, Winston Remaster's "The Great Love Affair".(9/4/70), 7/24/79, and 7/17/73.

I'm partial to the UK Nov/Dec 1971 shows. Bournemouth and Manchester are just fabulous.

[TheStairwayRemainsTheSame]

Southampton 1973

[publicenemy3]

St. Valentine's Day Massacre and 929 (or any of the Japan shows really).

[Z-o-S-o]

I would recommend you to start with the easily downloadable and listenable (in terms of sound quality) ones like:

Live on Blueberry Hill
Listen To This Eddie
Any version of Earl's Court May 24 1975

And of course the raw Bath soundboard.

There is no Bath SBD.

If you want clarity, you can't beat the '75 sbd shows. But if you want to hear some of their best playing, my faves are the '73 European shows.

[Z-o-S-o]

There is no Bath SBD.

NO SHIT

Ok sorry guys I thought on a Led Zeppelin message board any reference to a Bath SB would immediatly be picked up as an inside joke, I'm sorry and I don't want to offend anyone if it may seem like I'm trolling.

Ok. But next time try using a smiley or maybe an lol. You made it look as though you really thought that there was a Bath sbd.

^ There is, but it's not widely circulating.

It is a very secret soundboard that was directly pulled from the 16 mm film.
Only 2 persons do have it.
