Ian Smith Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 Saw on Twitter that Zeppelin played a 45 minute set at some place called Behan's in (West Park?) New Jersey in 1975. First of all can't believe I would have missed this and second of all has someone got the recording, if it exists? I would so love to hear it. Searched all my usual haunts and can not find it anywhere. Many thanks. Quote
SuperDave Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 Perhaps, it never happened. Especially, when it comes from a social media post. I'd have my doubts about it. Quote
Zep Hed Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 This was on the Isle of Jersey, a British tax exile, in late 75 after Robert's accident. They'd already recorded the Presence album in Munich and were on sabbatical. They visited Behan's and ultimately hopped on stage with the house band. No known recording. Quote

Too bad no one had the tapes rolling....... Quote

Wed, December 10, 1975: Behan's West Park in St. Helier, Jersey Led Zeppelin join resident pianist Norman Hale for an impromptu 45-minute set, making good on a promise made Dec 3rd to return. No known recordings exist, but there are photographs. Quote
JohnOsbourne Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Bonham looks like he spent the last half of '75 training for a pie-eating contest. Quote

My apologies mate, looking back that was a rather rude post of mine. I am afflicted by dreaded Covid at the moment and not in the best of moods. Quote
