Music’s to be shared, and today you need it to get away from the crazy world. I know a lot of collectors and traders that don’t give their stuff away, and that’s a shame to me. Waters added, “To write ourselves into a little bit of Led Zeppelin history is an honor. A few days later, the reels arrive and the magic unfolds.” Waters told Classic Rock, “My collectors heart was racing. Waters was blown away by the quality of Vincent’s film and asked if he had any more, and that’s when Vincent revealed he had the Led Zeppelin tape.” He reached out to video bootleg trader John Waters, and asked if he could help transfer his own footage into digital files. The outlet noted, “Vincent didn’t do anything with the film, and so it gathered dust for the best part of half a century, until he came across some live footage on the internet of The Who shot at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim in 1970, and noticed its similarity to some Who footage of his own. The footage was restored by John Waters, who Classic Rockreports is a notable bootleg trader. But a few others, along with that 8mm film, survived.” Led Zeppelin – Restored Bootleg Footage from Septemat the L.A. He concluded, “Those pictures came out worthless, unfortunately. he even posed twice for my still camera, and both times the flash failed to go off. During the acoustic set, John ducked behind the gong to smoke a cigarette and very gracefully acknowledged our slavish praise. We were behind John Bonham’s gong, so you couldn’t really see him much, but the sound was great. The seats were excellent: First row behind the stage. There weren’t any problems at the door in those days. Vincent continued, “When my friends and I got to the Forum, I tucked it under my jacket. It was a little wind-up 8mm Kodak Brownie.”

This time, I decided to take the family movie camera with me. Like a lot of other people in L.A., when I heard Led Zeppelin was going to play another show at the Forum in September, I knew I had to be there. There were some set list substitutions, variations, and order switches during the tour.Vincent says, “I was a teenager back in 1970.
The fairly typical set list for the tour was: Īll concerts from this tour are available on unofficial CDs except for the Perth concert, and show the band in fine form.Īll track written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, except where noted.

He had the beard at Led Zeppelin's concert in Melbourne 20 February, but is clean shaven at the band's press party two days later. Part way through this tour, Jimmy Page shaved off his trademark beard, a look he adopted nearly two years before while recording Led Zeppelin III. Some of this footage was later made available on the Led Zeppelin DVD, released in 2003. Led Zeppelin received generally good press coverage for this tour and black-and-white footage of some of their concert at Sydney on 27 February, along with a press party, were filmed by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and shown to a national audience. The original plan for this tour was for the group to stop off en route at Singapore for a concert on 14 February, but the local authorities refused their entry due to local laws banning males from wearing long hair.
