jsj Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I recently dug out my cassette bootlegs out of the attic, that I acquired in in the 80s. I have just one of two tapes tiled Destroyer but I don’t know which of the two night they played in Cleveland the only clues I can give you are two plantations.. before BYAS he mentions JPJ buying the stand up bass for £18 (I think), and before TYG in the delay getting the stage set he says “soon to be named eleven years gone” any ideas anyone? And of the two nights they played, which is regarded as the better? thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zep Hed Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 You've got the first night April 27. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveZ98 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Just now, Zep Hed said: You've got the first night April 27. The second night is generally regarded as the better performance of the two, but it is only available as an audience recording so the sound quality is noticeably different than the soundboard from the 27th.

The Only Way To Fly Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 One of the first boots I got was Destroyer. Kashmir had a bunch of drop outs, but man what a show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeppcollect Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Hi! Are you sure you got a 77 recording? "Soon to named Eleven Years Gone" was said by Robert in Copenhagen 23/7/1979? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tapes have the songs "Hot Dog" or "In The Evening", the recording is from this Copenhagen show and not one of the 1977 Ohio shows.

Strider Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 There is only one "Destroyer" show I consider canon: April 27, 1977 Cleveland. Just like only September 4, 1970 is "Blueberry Hill". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walesdad Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 First bit of illicit live Led Zeppelin I ever had. It was a tape swap, older readers might remember those, and the show was recorded on two 90minute cassette's which I've still got in my home made cover. Not really the best recording, some of the soundboard/mixing desk tapes can have a very dry, almost dead sound and I much prefer the ambience of a good audience recording. Nevertheless, it was Led Zeppelin live with no overdubs or studio making good and was exactly what was played on the night in Cleveland. I suspect a lot of older fans would have got into the listening and collecting of live shows by the band through titles like 'Destroyer', 'Mudslide' and 'Going To California", etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
