mojoman282 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I'm a huge fan of the Destroyer bootleg - I was wondering what everyone's favorite led zep bootleg apart from Destroyer is? I need to start getting more bootlegs, and not sure where to start! Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmtomh Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Oh boy. First I'd recommend searching these forums - there are several threads on this. By all means don't just pay attention to me, but here's a list of many of my favorite available shows, with some recommendations on specific boots/sources: http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/17415-what-is-the-best-bootleg/page__view__findpost__p__569051 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef free Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Which ever one I'm listening to right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 The O2 show is still my favorite bootleg because there is nothing else quite like it in existence. There are tons of better performances available but there is something different about this show than from the official releases and the 1968-1980 bootlegs.

Yeah Bobbys voice is shite and Bonham junoir is bashing the skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Dounim Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 EVSD's "When We Were Kings" or "Demand Unprecedented in the History of Rock Music" DVD of the same show (5/25/75), or Winston Remaster's "Mike the Mike 6-21-77, 6-25-77, and 6-27-77" Also would recommend nearly any version of 9/29/71, Winston Remaster's "The Great Love Affair".(9/4/70), 7/24/79, and 7/17/73.

jgerbracht Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I'm partial to the UK Nov/Dec 1971 shows. Bournemouth and Manchester are just fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glyn Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 St. Valentine's Day Massacre and 929 (or any of the Japan shows really). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-o-S-o Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) I would recommend you to start with the easily downloadable and listenable (in terms of sound quality) ones like: Live on Blueberry Hill Listen To This Eddie Any version of Earl's Court May 24 1975 And of course the raw Bath soundboard.

Paul Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 If you want clarity, you can't beat the '75 sbd shows. But if you want to hear some of their best playing, my faves are the '73 European shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-o-S-o Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Ok sorry guys I thought on a Led Zeppelin message board any reference to a Bath SB would immediatly be picked up as an inside joke, I'm sorry and I don't want to offend anyone if it may seem like I'm trolling.

Ok. But next time try using a smiley or maybe an lol. You made it look as though you really thought that there was a Bath sbd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reswati Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It is a very secret soundboard that was directly pulled from the 16 mm film. Only 2 persons do have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 And at least one of those copies is under someones bed. Am I the only one who doesn't think that the Bath show is that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bath rocks. Btw: On further review, apparently the EVSD Otoko Doahou 929 release is the same as their Live in Japan 1971 - which name, however, has also been applied to their You Were There in Spirits release (the last of which I own).

Mojoman282, I’m also looking to get some new bootlegs myself my old 8 tracks and cassettes that I got years ago from “ROCKAWAY RECORDS” have pretty much seen better days. Looking for some of the LA Forum dates in 1977. Anyone help you yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melcórë Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Can you please direct me to download some of these shows? Thank you Those first two can be found on just about every torrent tracker there is - the last is (slightly) more difficult to find, at least in unaltered/complete form.

If you weren't impressed by their performance at Bath, you're clearly a difficult person to please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
