This show was recorded for the BBC to broadcast the entire show, and here it all is. An incredible, compact, tight show that features some of the best playing ever, with Jones and Bonham shining throughout and quite possibly the best recording of Plant's voice ever. Add Jimmy's dazzling guitar work and you have a classic show.


Clive Woodward Said:
I attended the June 1969 Playhouse Theatre concert as a young 14 year old. As I was waiting in the queue outside the band came out and talked to us. My memory of them is of crushed velvet flares, grandad t-shirts and lots of hair! Inside the theatre I remember seeing plenty of afghan coats even though it was a summer's evening! As for the music, it was the loudest I had ever heard and my ears were still ringing the following morning. Jimmy's guitar and Robert's voice totally blew me away. 40 years later it is as vivid in my mind as if it were yesterday - quite simply the most memorable concert I have been to. If only there were film of it...
