Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Japanese reissue of 2000 compilation is packaged in a miniature heavy quality LP gatefold sleeve. 24 tracks including the 13-minute plus 'Whole Lotta Love' (Medley) featuring 'Boogie Chillun'/Fixin' To Die/That's Alright Mama/A Mess Of Blues'. Includes credits & lyric booklet. Atlantic. 2003.

Amazon.com:
Frequently bootlegged and now digitally remastered by Jimmy Page, these tapes capture a 25-month (1969 to 1971) arc in which Zep's sound grew to encompass the speed rush and jazz/blues festival stuff of their 1969 debut, the fully developed folkie musings of 'Going to California' (in which Plant vowed to make a hejira right up to Joni Mitchell's front door), and the band's modestly popular multilayered epic 'Stairway to Heaven.' The Sessions also give a glimpse of nearly off-the-cuff invention in an intense take on Robert Johnson's 'Traveling Riverside Blues.' Most other white blues musicians would've rushed to get this on vinyl; Page and Plant instead used it for parts, most notably taking its profound acoustic freneticism for Led Zeppelin III. --Rickey Wright

I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan and never knew this existed until I heard a song on Pandora radio. I had to have it and bought through them which went to you.
Thanks

Rating: - Could Have Been 5 Stars, But........
I like this album for the most part, I own every recording by LZ (except some rare imports), including DVD versions and DVD-A (5.1). The second disc is recorded with reasonably good sound for that period. The first disc is MONO not stereo, which ruins it for me. Still a good purchase for any true Zepp fan.

Rating: - A great live album
I first heard this album while hanging with a buddy of mine. I didn't get it right away but with I would have. Since purchasing it I bet I have listened to it dozens of times. I think it is their best live album.

Rating: - Great live zeppelin album
This is another must-have for anyone who can't hear enough live Led Zeppelin.
This album seems a little less polished than the other live recordings; the tracks
are older and there are multiple versions of some of the classics. There is nothing
on this I don't enjoy listening to.

One should never question an album with Led Zeppelin on it. This one proves that they did it. They rocked the 60s into the 70s. These sessions are raw proof of their live abilities, stay away from the knobs, Satan! If you believe in real music, without overdone overdubs, but just real musicians getting it on at blues and rock, you cannot be wrong buying this one. For everybody else: buy this one and start getting a life!
