Led Zeppelin Knebworth 1979 (Both Shows)

After a 2 year layoff Led Zeppelin emerged with a new record, In Through the Out Door.  The 2 years had not been kind to Zeppeling which included the death of the son of Robert Plant, Page's heroin addiction, and a general consensus that time was passing them by.  Still hugely popular, they were fresh off of 2 warm up gigs, which were generally well received by fans and press, in Copenhagen.  That said, Knebworth was a whole nother animal with crowds expected well above 100,000 at each of the shows.  In reality, there almost 200,000 at the first one on 8/9 and well over 100,000 at the 8/11 performance.

These 2 soundboards still constitute a great historical document of one of the biggest bands in rock history.

FREE Sunderland and Croydon 1970

 Most FREE fans would agree that 1970 was the band's pinnacle because after a flurry of releases they released their opus Fire and Water which included their mega-hit All Right Now.  While touring relentlessly would cost them dearly their performances were drawing larger crowds and a devoted legion of fans.  1970 ended with the band splitting primarily because of guitarist Paul Kossoff's heroin addiction and road exhaustion.  Before the year was over they made appearances at the now famous 1970 Isle of Wight festival along side such groups The Who, The Doors, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Santana, and The Miles Davis Group.

Island Records were very supportive of the band and remain that way to this day.  Many of the shows from the 1970 were recorded and have been released in shortened versions on such releases as the Live album.  This download is a collection of all of the unreleased tracks from that album and constitute the bulk of what Island has in their vaults from the Sunderland and Croydon shows.  I hope you enjoy the show
