Comments: The only known recording of Zeppelin available from 1968. The recording itself is very good for the era and gives a glimpse of the raw power of the group 3 days into their first ever US Tour. Robert's voice is absolutely amazing...he hits the highest notes imagined with no effort! JPJ and Bonham are incredible and Jimmy's playing is wonderful too. The songs are played shortly and compactly, meaning more energy. Train Kept A Rollin' sounds like the Yardbird's version before it evolved into the blistering Zeppelin version. I can only imagine the audience seeing this then-unknown group for the first time.
