September 4, 1970. One of the GREATEST nights in Los Angeles music history.

Led Zeppelin Live at the Fabulous Forum of Inglewood, recorded for posterity on Blimp's "Live On Blueberry Hill"...

At the same time, Fairport Convention was beginning their three-night stand(Sept. 4-6) at Doug Weston's Troubadour Club in West Hollywood. Also recorded for posterity with a full-on mobile recording truck...officially released as "House Full". At present, the only live Fairport Convention release with Richard Thompson.

The Troubadour Club is around 11-13 miles from the Forum, depending on which route you take...roughly a half-hour or so drive. After Led Zeppelin finished their Forum concert, they went to the Troubadour where they joined Fairport Convention around midnight or so to jam. The tape was rolling and exists somewhere...it's just that nobody seems to remember where it is now. Producer Joe Boyd mentions it in his liner notes on the back of the Hannibal Records release of "House Full" in 1986, which uses better takes and artwork than Island Records dismal 1977 release. Joe also writes about the night in his book "White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s".

"Hey Joe", "Morning Dew", "That's Alright Mama", "Banks of Sweet Primroses" were some of the songs performed during the Fairport Zeppelin or Led Convention.
