It wasn't recorded by the BBC to my knowledge. There are several different titles for this show out there but I haven't seen this label being used before. But there may be others here who know more than I do.
What I do know is that I was at the show.

Trentham Gardens Stoke on Trent UK, I saw my first Zeppelin show here in 1973. The ballroom is in the top right of the first photo, it was demolished a few years ago replaced by a garden centre. The estate remains part of the garden centre.

Trentham Hall on Victorian Society's top ten list of threatened buildings
By The Sentinel | Posted: October 08, 2014
PRESERVATION experts say one of Staffordshire most prestigious properties is under 'severe threat'.
Trentham Hall has been voted onto the Victorian Society's list of Top 10 Most Endangered Victorian and Edwardian Buildings in England and Wales for 2014.
Last year's top 10 included Fenton Town Hall, which still remains under threat, and the entry of Trentham Hall onto the list raises further concerns over its future.
The building, which dates back to the 1830s, was formerly the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland.
It passed out of the family's possession in the early 20th century, and later served as a concert venue for bands such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Who in the 1960s and 70s, before falling into disrepair.
It was bought, along with the rest of the Trentham Estate, by developers St Modwen in 1998, but has remained in a poor condition since then.
James Hughes, conservation adviser with the Victorian Society, said the hall's place on the list highlighted concerns.
He said: "We always get a large number of nominations for the list, and we always make sure that any building that makes the list has a lot of quality, is of national interest and is under a significant threat.
"Trentham Hall has been on the English Heritage list for a while now, and various projects to try and turn it into a hotel or other businesses over recent years have failed, so we're very concerned about its future."
Mike Herbert, regional director at St Modwen, said the company had been examining proposals to redevelop Trentham Hall for more than 10 years, but efforts to renovate it had been stymied by the recent economic downturn.
He said: "Virtually all the hall was demolished in 1911/12 and previous owners had left the remaining buildings in very poor condition, which we have pro tected from further deterioration until the time was right to progress. We recognise the importance that Trentham Hall has locally and we are committed to preserving this building for the future.
"However, the restoration must be commercially viable in its own right and the significant economic downturn over the last six or seven years has had a considerable impact on the plans to restore it".
Historian Fred Hughes said he was very hopeful St Modwen would be able to save Trentham Hall and preserve it for future generations.
"There is an urgent need to do something about it, and I'm fairly certain that St Modwen are looking at it very closely and there will be some good news imminently," he said.
"For many years since the Sutherlands quit the premises, the hall and the many outbuildings have fallen into disrepair – these kinds of things do happen at old buildings, but I think it's very important that we save the hall, because it's very important for local heritage.
"The Victorian Society has highlighted how serious it is, and hopefully we will see some improvements soon."
Sam, the building in the picture was used over the past few decades as a magistrates court in Stoke on Trent. It has ceased being used as one now. The main part of the Trentham estate is about 4 miles away, Zeppelin played at the concert hall there in 1971 and 1973. I have some photos of the hall which I will root out later and add to this.
