Notes:

This is a nice recording but the first 15 minutes has much crowd noise.
It doesn't interfere with the music but is distracting. This was taped from
the 8th row exactly between the 2 Speaker stacks.

Page was on fire this night, but it would have been nice to hear Plant better. The mixer kept
trying to make the vocals louder but the sound hog, Jimmy Page, definitely
dominated. Robert Plant was in great form, especially after his voice limbered up.
Agreat legandary band and a fine performance

One other thing: On disc 2 track 4, Plant makes reference to Schenectady, NY. He
even pronounces it correctly. Anyway, back in 1968 or '69, Zeppelin played a converted
bowling lane turned in a club called the Aerodrome in Schenectady and they totally bombed!
The audience wanted the R&B cover band which opened the show to get back out and play.
Zep was booed off and the other band did come back out. I was there and witnessed it
first hand. My, how times change. I don't thing Page wanted to be reminded of this!
Striking out in Schenectady!
