Led Zeppelin 1971 This Is A Good One Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, as you noble readers already know, I’m sure. I want to share an excellent Led Zeppelin concert from August 31, 1971. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are still at the top of their game (Robert’s voice on the Immigrant Song [...]
Prince Plays 21 Dates At The L.A. Forum His bands are always James Brown tight, and he plays guitar like a motherfucker. Prince recently began a 21 night stay at the Los Angeles Forum, to kick off his Welcome 2 America tour. He did something neat in that tickets were $25. That’s nice. He played [...]
Hello there, hominids. Yesterday in one of my Led Zeppelin forums, someone posted a link to an entire Led Zeppelin (audio) concert, on YouTube. The show is 8/31/71, Orlando, FL. It’s an excellent soundboard recording, that also captures the energy of the crowd. Jimmy Page (pbuh) is at top form, Robert Plant is still [...]
This is a very special Led Zeppelin show, Youdopia. This is one of the only (maybe the only) live performance of Four Sticks, and Gallows Pole. I’m talking Led Zeppelin, not the later versions played by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, during their Page/Plant tours. You don’t much better than Zeppelin in 1971. Robert Plant’s [...]
I shocked to see that Gary Moore passed away over the weekend. I never really got into his music, but I always liked his playing. From his days with Thin Lizzy, to his bluesy stuff, and even his solos on the second Traveling Wilburys album, he never seemed to play badly. I am most familiar [...]
I have a neat show to share with you, Youdopia. It is the first date of the ARMS Tour, and it features Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Joe Cocker, Paul Rodgers, Ronnie Lane, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Kenney Jones, and more. Quite a show! This tour happened because Ronnie Lane (bass player for the [...]
Happy Free Download Friday, my dear people of Youdopia. I haven’t had anything ready (ripped, tagged, converted to mp3, zipped, and uploaded) for a couple of weeks, so I let you starve. That’s how I am. The grey skies are gonna clear up, so put on a happy face. I have a great show for [...]
Happy Free Download Friday! This week we have another Pink Floyd type show (the last one for awhile, I promise) but it’s so new and fresh that it still sizzles on the plate. It’s Roger Waters live in Toronto, performing The Wall. It’s amazing. I only downloaded this show because someone requested it (it’s the [...]
Happy Free Download Friday, my dear people of Youdopia! This week I’m sharing a super funky, nasty, scary, brutal set from Miles Davis. It’s more than funky, it’s dirty. Not in an overtly sexy way, but in the way of danger. It’s not as dark as his stuff from 1975, but damn. It grooves, but [...]
Happy Free Download Friday! I’ve got another Pink Floyd show for you. This is on the heels of the live Dark Side of the Moon show i post a couple of weeks back. Live music is awesome, Youdopia, and I love sharing my music with you. Did you see the video of the Dave Gilmour/Roger [...]
Happy Friday, Youdopia. I offer for your enjoyment a wonderful Lou Reed concert, from 1989. It’s from his tour for the New York album, which was one of his best albums ever. A definite renaissance of Mr Reed’s career, preceding the super mega awesome 1993 Velvet Underground reunion and tour. This is a great choice [...]
Happy Free Download Friday Saturday! Sorry I’m late, Youdopia. It was a busy week with little sleep. It’s totally worth the wait, though, because I have the best, most accessible, mass appealing show I’ve ever shared. Pink Floyd performing Dark Side of the Moon, in 1974. Professionally recorded by the BBC is lush, stereo, this [...]
Happy Free Download Friday, Youdopia! Today I am sharing a concert by Rush, from just a couple of weeks ago. It’s from 8/11/10 in Los Angeles at the Gibson Amphitheater. I am posting this for a friend of mine. Hi, J! I haven’t found the show you went to, but this one sounds great, and [...]
Happy Free Download Friday! Sorry I’m late, Youdopia. Today’s show is an amazing, fantastic, perfect show by Page/Plant from their excellent 1996 tour of Japan. All of the shows on this tour are spectacular, and well worth owning. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant allowed soundboard recordings, and top notch amateur videos to be recorded, so [...]
Happy Free Download Friday! Today’s selection is one of the absolute best Led Zeppelin shows, of the latter days. Jimmy Page is playing like it’s 1973, and the sound quality is truly amazing. This recording was made with a Uher tape deck with Sennheiser mics, and it is considered one of the best, if not [...]
Happy Free Download Friday! This week I’m offering something special. This is a show by Camper Van Beethoven, from 1989, on their tour supporting Key Lime Pie. I love this album, Youdopia, and I love this concert. The main reason this show is so great, aside from the fantastic performance, and the stellar set list, [...]
It is Free Download time, again. Here’s another legendary Led Zeppelin show for you, Youdopia. I’m done with the esoteric stuff, for now. This is a straight up, amazing performance by Zep as they were rocketing to the peak of their powers. It’s been converted to excellent quality mp3 with LAME VBR. It’s about 124 [...]
Here’s a bit of an esoteric one, Youdopia. After the death of John Bonham, Led Zeppelin disbanded in December of 1980. In April of 1981, Jimmy Page met with his new neighbor, Chris Squire from Yes, about making some new music. Yes had fallen apart as well, after their Drama tour. Trevor Horn (from the [...]
It’s time for another free download, Youdopia. This one is very special because I was at this show. Front row, actually. My good friend, Television Sux, and I paid bank to a legal ticket vendor (Front Row Tickets, in Manchester, NH if memory serves) for these tickets. Why? Because it was Jimmy Page, and not [...]
This show was the first CD bootleg I ever bought, Youdopia. It was also the first Zeppelin CD bootleg. The show is a good one, especially since 1980 was not a good year for Bonzo and Jimmy. However, they were pulling themselves out of it, and had the fates been kinder, they might have recovered [...]
