Led Zeppelin
"Listen To This Eddie"
Inglewood Forum, Los Angeles, California, USA
21st June 1977

"Listen To This Eddie" - one of the most famous bootleg titles of all time was supposedly prompted by Eddie Van Halen's uncomplimentary comments about Jimmy Page's guitar playing. Los Angeles was the favourite playground for the band and, on what was to prove a traumatic tour, provided six nights of shows which were easily the best of their 1977 North American visit. Three nights (21/23/25th) were certainly taped by the legendary Mike Millard - it captures the band in peak form right from the amazing drumming in the opening tracks, through the newly introduced material from "Presence".

The band run through their full repertoire, from blues, hard rock and even re-introduce the acoustic section to their US audience, something which they were happy to do in the UK but had previously abandoned in the States due to audiences literally being in no fit condition to listen (due to booze, downers and firecrackers).

John Paul Jones proved even more versatile than ever - the triple-neck guitar/mandolin/12 string combination was introduced and he even supplied backing vocals for "The Battle of Evermore". This concert featured an outstanding performance of "No Quarter" at it's centre and the whole concert has become essential listening for any Led Zeppelin afficionado.
