Sound:

This a tight, no nonsense performance and an excellent, enjoyable recording for its vintage. Everything seems balanced, even if it is ever so slightly distant. A very light mastering was done to attenuate some of the hiss and fix some minor dropouts in the recording. None of the music was affected and no lossy processing has been done. The backstory behind this reel is Bill received this from Bob Whitfield in 1980. It doesn't have the tuneups prior to TKAR that is present on some of the other copies.

Bill was gracious enough to lend me this reel to transfer. The backstory behind this reel is Bill received this from Bob Whitfield back in 1980. This reel didn't have the tuneups prior to Train Kept A Rollin' that is present on some of the other copies. This is an excellent recording of a young zeppelin band just beginning to make their mark on the music world. This a tight, no nonsense performance. This also happens to be the first show they ever played in New York as Led Zeppelin. A very light mastering was done to attenuate some of the hiss and fix some minor dropouts in the recording. None of the music was affected and no lossy processing was done period.

Bootradr:
Led Zeppelin played two sets (or shows) at the Fillmore East on 1969-01-31 and 1969-02-01. The first set would be played, a break would be taken, then the second set or half of the show was played. However, on this night John Paul Jones had left an instrument in the hotel room and the show was being delayed. So the first set started off with Jimmy Page playing "White Summer" while Jones' instrument was retrieved.

Some video, about a 30 second clip, of the 1969-01-31 show surfaced a few years back and it did not match this recording being shared here. While there is no concrete proof this date in this upload is February 1st, it is nearly proven and definitely makes the most sense.
