  1. Like a lot of the posters and viewers here, I am a huge led zeppelin fan. I am the youngest of my family and a bit too young to have seen them live. But the thing that keeps the flame alive, for me, is the quantity and quality of the live recordings/bootlegs out there. I remember getting cd bootlegs from a local record store in the early 90s. It's great that technology has allowed it so that some of them could be cleaned up. It also amazes me that something like Chicago 75 could just pop up out of nowhere. Unfortunately, we have probably seen the end of any real activity from the living members. My question is this. Back in the day, it was reported that the band actively fought bootlegger. Peter Grant was very protective of the band and the money. The bootlegs seem to come out, in some cases like Blueberry Hill, not long after they were performed. Do you really think the band was looking to stop this? In hindsight, it seems like a brilliant move to have them around since the live shows and recordings keep everything fresh and offers so many different looks at the band after the studio catalog. Just a thought. Without them, I am sure we would have much to talk about or look forward too.
