Current Recommendations

Pre-Zep Tree
An interesting look at what went on before the dirigible took to the skies.

Listen to This Luis
Very intense, very early show in great sound. The title refers to noted live Zep author Luis Rey, and is a takeoff on the title of the famous LA Forum 1977 boot, "Listen to This Eddie", which likely referred to Eddie Van Halen.

Cracker Jack Blues
Stunning quality, and there's no doubt that the band realizes the importance of the venue. The first in a string of legendary San Francisco concerts.

Experienced
The best available version of this often-booted and quite revelatory show. Remastered in a Boston studio by a real pro, with great results.

Plays Pure Blues/Bob
Raw and brutal tour-ending festival gig, from which a bit of film exists as seen on VH1. "Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the Led Zeppelin!"
