Yes, both of those shows are worthy of mention.

Okay, I will 😁 

 

 I had seen the Free open for Blind Faith at MSG, & ELP recently headline at the Fillmore East. On the way to the Free show I was telling a buddy, who was lead vocal in a band, how Paul Rogers would swing the mike cord around stage like Roger Daltrey. On the way to ELP, was telling the gang how Keith Emerson will jump on top of his organ & rock it across the stage...Neither of which happened at the Carnegie Hall shows. LOL

 

ETA: It may have been the knife thing with Keith Emerson, where he jabs the Bowie knives into the organ keys. Memory is foggy 😵

Here is a transcribed excerpt of the Carnegie Hall audio recording that amazingly was finally released in early 2022 integrated with a "backstory" on the concert logistics for that night on October 17, 1969:

We’d like to with something off our first album written by Willie Dixon. This is called I Can’t Quit You…sorry about the delay”. The story went that the band was late getting into NYC and some of their gear was rented, certainly not Jimmy’s guitar. After a minute and a half they get it together for a crushing version of I Can’t Quit You, Jimmy rips into his leads, extremely fluent and quite fast. 

More tuning follows a devastating version of Heartbreaker that sounds quite like the studio version except with an incredible guitar solo and a small bit of tuning, Jimmy is taking no prisoners he is almost relentless in his attack. Once Jimmy gets tuned again, Dazed And Confused begins proper, the audience give his Wah effects pedal a massive ovation, they know what is coming, Jimmy’s Tour De Force. The song is well played, much has been said about his guitar tone in this recording, this song is one such example. There is just the right amount of distortion present that gives it a nasty yet ominous sound, late 1969 versions of Dazed are excellent, very focused with Page changing the mood at will. This version starts off rather standard, it does not end that way, Jimmy uses the light and shade concept to create a tense feel, your waiting for him to explode yet he keeps it toned back, the tension remains until the end.

Here's another photo of LZ attorney, Steve Weiss, with Peter Grant taken at some point well after (year unconfirmed) the Carnegie Hall concert in 1969.

There was some question as to who the person on the far right of this photo is.  He look s a lot like Bruce Harris of Cash Box.  Below is a photo of Bruce but without a mustache.

The picture immediately below was identified earlier as "Eddie Kramer" with Jimmy Page, but that can't be correct as Eddie looked much different in those days (see subsequent photo from similar time period).
