  1. I think the September Scandinavian shows would have more closely resembled a late period Yardbird's show not necessarily in terms of a set list but rather in the approach to the material. The tour was intended to fulfill previous booked Yardbird's dates. I would imagine the first shows would include the Train Kept A-Rollin', one of the blues covers, White Summer, a John Bonham drum solo, How Many More Times, As Long As I Have You, For Your Love, and of course, Dazed and Confused. I don't think its unreasonable to think that an embryonic version of Communication Breakdown emerged into the set during the tour. Most of the tracks on Led Zeppelin I reflected what was performed during the September '68 gigs. As much as it would be great to have a recording from this tour, I think the possibility of an audience recording being captured is unlikely because I don't think the interest in a reconfigured version of the Yardbirds was very high at the time to the degree that someone would have taped on the shows. If a recording existed, it would certainly be fascinating to hear what the band sounded like and to hear their approach to the material.

  2. I've been wondering about the lack of activity myself. Aside from the forthcoming book and re-release of "The Song Remains The Same", so far its turned out to be a very underwhelming 50th Anniversary celebration to say the least. I was hoping for a live release of a 1968 show, but that's probably a pipe dream on my part.

    What about the soundboard recordings from the Fillmore West (January 11th and April 27th)?

    Thanks for the clarification. Given the quality of these recordings (two track recordings, not withstanding), I don't see any reason why either or both of these recordings couldn't be released in their entirety. The quality is certainly better than the 1969 Paris FM Radio broadcast that was included with the most recent release of "Led Zeppelin I".

  4. I know it's a pipe dream to think that soundboard recordings exist in this case, but I would love to hear something from the Second American tour in May 1969 when the band was absolutely performing at its improvisational peak and taking American by storm.
