Led Zeppelin 04/09/1977 Chicago Stadium, Chicago

Full Show: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=8BEAE914C969B254

This is a very interesting concert I have been looking for and finally found. The concert lasts about an hour due to Jimmy Page getting sick. In the middle of Ten years Gone jimmy calls to his roadies to get his chair, he basically falls into it and continues playing in pain. After the song which he struggles to get through, the rest of the band run to his side. Apparently he was puking during the song as well. Plant tells everyone they need a break. Then shortly after Mr Richard Cole comes on to say that they are going to cancel the rest of the show. He explains how the tickets will be refunded or "honored". They reschedule the show at the end of the 77 tour. But unfortuantley the last couple concerts in 77 including the make up was canceled because Plants Son dies. So Cole decides they will add a concert in the 1980 US Tour for those who were at the 77 concert. But unfortunately Mr Bonham dies and we never see zep again.

Here is a great description of the concert from guy who was there:

t's now Saturday, April 9th,1977 and an infamous moment in Led Zeppelin's history is about to be made. The onstage collapse of Jimmy Page. It's the third show of four that Led Zeppelin performed that week at the Chicago Stadium. My tickets are identical in location to where I was seated at the Thursday evening show. First Balcony, front row, viewing Page and Bonham's side.
It'a a party night and the crowd's mood was raucus! I was with some of my football teamates that evening, so we were indulging a bit. Enjoying the Festivities! The lights go dead , but camera flashes illuminate Zeppelin as they take to the stage. Similarily dressed as in the first two shows. Page again wearing his white satin garb and notorious black and white zapatos. Jimmy plays a descending chord pattern prior to TSRTS and then charges right into opening. It's feels like a good night as Page, Bonham and Jones initiate proceedings. Robert moving boldly with the changes as Jimmy solos aggressively. A well- executed tandem of The Rover and Sick Again follow. I notice Page is not smoking cigarettes tonight and there are no Heinekens atop his Marshalls.
" Good Evening Chicago! " is Robert's greeting. Jimmy treats us to an A Cappella version of Since I've Been Loving You. My first thought was that they were shifting the set. But the band doesn't respond to Page! Robert covers for Jimmy by exclaiming " Tonight's a blues night!" In order Jimmy begins Nobody's Fault But Mine. Page remembers to engage his MXR Phase 90 pedal at the appropriate times. Jones and Bonham are hypnotically linked as they carry on. Plant's voice, here with a Arabic tinge, also tranlates into his body motion.
Now is the proper time for Since I've Been Loving You. Or is it Tea For One? It's a combination! Robert arrives in pain and can you feel it. The band's dynamics and chemistry come off well here. No Quarter crawls out at you next. The sound is ominous and dramatic. Jones solos regally with lasers in spectacular display behind him. Page and Bonham join him in a rock and roll boogie section more reminiscent of 1950's era rock + roll. The gears shift and it's into the meat of the solo section. Page bleeding his notes out in sustain and then unleashing a flurry of Django/ Les Paul mutated licks. Man! JPJ and Bonzo are kicking major ass! Jimmy's angular octave blocks lead back to Jones' sole piano. There are no obvious problems in Page's playing tonight. Not until the next song.
Firecrackers are going off abundantly and Robert's getting pissed off. Another plea to the fools lighting these things off. Ten Years Gone begins fine but then, as Page begins the middle solo, he turns back to his roadie, calling for something. His chair is brought forth and set up by his pedals. Jimmy thens drops back in his chair on a 45 degree angle. He jabs at his foot pedals from afar. What a bizarre sight! Page actually fumble- fingers his way to the conclusion of the the song. A Herculean effort indeed! Robert is immediately at Jimmy's side and the rest of the band huddle around him. I can see Jimmy shaking his head side to side, as if he was saying " No way!" His mates help him up and walk him off the stage. Things don't look too promising. About five minutes later there is an announcement over the P.A. -" Jimmy is ill and feels he cannot give his best. Retain your ticket and there will be a rescheduling." Wow! That was it? I triple -checked to make sure I had my ticket. As my buddies and I got up to vacate the stadium, a guy got up behind me and moaned " They ended it just as I'm peaking on Mescaline!" Sorry dude....
There was a ripple effect from this show's cancellation. August 2nd would be the rescheduled date and they would add an additional concert set for August 3rd. Something to really look forward to over the summer of 1977. More Zeppelin shows! My tickets for the 8/3 concert were incredible. On the main floor , 3rd row dead center. How I received those seats is another story. But, it was never to be. One week exactly before Zeppelin was return to Chicago, I received a phone call from one of my friends. He told me he had just heard on the radio that Robert Plant's son had died. My heart just fell. That's it. It's over. I felt deeply that the band would never be the same. Those type of tragedies alter you forever.
Easter Sunday will be the final date of Led Zeppelin's 1977 stay in Chicago. For this show, Jimmy Page has been digging around in his wardrobe for something very special to wear......

Led Zeppelin 03/21/75 Seattle Center Coliseum, Washington

Full Show:: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6566390D217FE708
Some Background info. This is a pretty interesting concert for a few things. It is one of only 3 1975 concerts where since I've Been Loving you is played. The other times it was played besides this concert was February 14th at Nassau Coliseum and March 27th at the LA Forum. So very rare to hear this. Also in Dazed and Confused during the part that sounds like Achilles, some call it the "San Fransisco" part or WoodStock. During this part he sings some of Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" then into "WoodStock" than Page does some Jamaican styled rhythm and he starts singing Bob Marley's I shot the Sherrif. VERY cool and rare concert.

Link for Show http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=66E0D650E00BCD40

This is the final and LAST show of 1973. It was a 3 part Concert at Madison Square Garden. YES parts of song were used in the making of The Song Remains The Same DVD/CD. It is very interesting to hear parts of a song you hear in this bootleg and hear them in the DVD/CD. For example the intro to this Since Ive Been Loving you is different than the movie, but most of the rest of the song was included in the Movie. Empress valley used mainly SoundBoards but please read the following for an important explanation:
*note: EV Means Empress Valley which is what we are listening to here. Missing Doll and Tarantura2000 is a different bootleg.

"7-29-73 soundboard and more
A 2 Last Nights (Tarantura), Grand Finale (Empress Valley, 4cd), Missing Doll (Tarantura2000), & MSG 1973 (Firepower)
"A 2 Last Nights" has the most tape before the show. It has 5 dropouts not found on the others and isn't cut after Since I've Been Loving You. This title and Firepower only contain the first two thirds of the show, up through most of Dazed and Confused.
The Empress Valley's release contains a 3cd soundboard plus a 1cd audience. The soundboard portion contains the same first two thirds of the show as the other titles plus Heartbreaker through the end of the show. The soundboard is missing the last part of Dazed, all of Stairway, and the beginning of The Ocean. To no surprise - and just like all of EV titles that feature an incomplete tape - they fill in the missing time by the same music from a different night altogether. This time, for the first time EVER, EV discloses the fact that they've switched shows, using the previous night. Still, they only note the change for Stairway and not the other two tracks. Even stranger, EV wanted us to hear those missing tracks that are found on the audience tape (and only those two songs) so they included a fourth disc featuring only Dazed and Stairway. However, the fact that they didn't use the audience tape of the 29th to complete the soundboard of the 29th and electing to use a different show entirely is not strange. It seems that any excuse to add an extra disc to a premium label release is all too commonplace.
Missing Doll fills in the soundboards gaps with an audience tape of the same night. It's splicing overlaps tapes and sometimes misses a little bit of the board.

All titles are cut after No Quarter and the sound worsens. The music drops down and the background noise increases. The original Tarantura doesn't sound as clear as the other titles. Empress Valley's tape has been amplified slightly. EV and Missing Doll both run a hair faster than the others, bringing them much closer to proper speed. Very surprisingly, Tarantura2000 doesn't have any hints of their horrible tweak jobs."
