  3. There was some question as to who the person on the far right of this photo is. He look s a lot like Bruce Harris of Cash Box. Below is a photo of Bruce but without a mustache.
  4. The commentary keeps on coming about this October 1969 Carnegie Hall LZ concert that just blew away the fans!
  5. A Japanese issue of the Led Zeppelin October 17, 1969 Carnegie Hall live concert recording features concert photos from this LZ Forum website:
  6. Here is a transcribed excerpt of the Carnegie Hall audio recording that amazingly was finally released in early 2022 integrated with a "backstory" on the concert logistics for that night on October 17, 1969: We’d like to with something off our first album written by Willie Dixon. This is called I Can’t Quit You…sorry about the delay”. The story went that the band was late getting into NYC and some of their gear was rented, certainly not Jimmy’s guitar. After a minute and a half they get it together for a crushing version of I Can’t Quit You, Jimmy rips into his leads, extremely fluent and quite fast. More tuning follows a devastating version of Heartbreaker that sounds quite like the studio version except with an incredible guitar solo and a small bit of tuning, Jimmy is taking no prisoners he is almost relentless in his attack. Once Jimmy gets tuned again, Dazed And Confused begins proper, the audience give his Wah effects pedal a massive ovation, they know what is coming, Jimmy’s Tour De Force. The song is well played, much has been said about his guitar tone in this recording, this song is one such example. There is just the right amount of distortion present that gives it a nasty yet ominous sound, late 1969 versions of Dazed are excellent, very focused with Page changing the mood at will. This version starts off rather standard, it does not end that way, Jimmy uses the light and shade concept to create a tense feel, your waiting for him to explode yet he keeps it toned back, the tension remains until the end.
