New York Taper Artie


Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone 

In my 37 years of buying or acquiring Led Zeppelin shows I've noticed a gentleman named Artie taped shows at Madison Square Garden in 1971, 1975, and 1977 as well as a Who show in March of 1976. I guess he did not attend, or record Zeppelin shows at the Nassau Coliseum in 1972 or 1975. Since he has taped Zeppelin as early as 1971, To my knowledge I'm puzzled no recording from Artie has shown up of Zeppelin's July of 1973 shows. Has anybody wonder the same thing, or did I miss something?

did any of artie's recordings fall into the clutches of commercial bootleggers ? if so can they be identified ? just wondering if I have any 

Absolutely. If you have a halfway decent collection of bootlegs, especially 1975, then odds are you have an Artie tape in your collection.

His 1975 tapes were available long before the soundboards came out. The first Artie tape I acquired was the famous Montreal 1975 bootleg. First issued on the Amazing Kornyfone label in 1975 (TAKRL 2960), then reissued on Phoenix Records and other labels in the 1980s.

I don’t believe Artie recorded the Montreal show. Those are some French Canadians working the recorder. Also, Artie never mentions Montreal in the podcast with Mark. But I could be wrong.

I haven't listened to the podcast yet. I always thought the tapers voices on Montreal were Artie and his pals. Oh well.

This is the very first bootleg by Led Zeppelin I acquired in a local independent record store. The sound quality is quite good, but the album cover to mine is different. It's quite cool and unfortunately with a Google search, I couldn't locate it.  I got this probably around Spring of 1980. I had only been into Led Zeppelin around 6 months ago, when I got my first bootleg and so many more to follow!

That is my recollection as well. I have the vinyl bootleg too but haven't listened to it in 30 years. The recording is undoubtedly on the internet.

If you bought it in 1980 you probably got the same one I got around the same time at a record shop in Killeen, Texas in 1981...the Phoenix Records release with the HR Giger cover.

That's the one I have! Definitely a very bizarre and unique cover!
