Led Zeppelin: 1971-11-11 Newcastle, UK (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

Here's another great show, this time from 41 years ago today.  I just got this version of the show myself today.  I hadn't noticed this before, but my copy from the snail mail trading CD-R days was a 1 CD, shorter version of this show.  I got it not long after it surfaced in the late 1990's originally and it was titled "Teddy Bears Picnic".

This show, which has tracks from Led Zeppelin's 4th LP, was a few days before the 4th LP was to be released.  So the lucky attendants not only got to see the band; they got to hear songs like "Stairway To Heaven" (amongst others) that hadn't even been released yet.

Unfortunately, unless another source surfaces, "Celebration Day" is the last track from the show that is known to exist.  How fitting considering that the 2007-12-10 Led Zeppelin reunion show (probably their last concert ever) is being released officially in one week and is titled "Celebration Day" :-)  Reportedly, the rest of the show was lost and even the master tapes were past the point of being able to be used due to time and deterioration.  But fortunately, the taper did (at some point) make a backup of the show and we now have most of the show (up through "Celebration Day").

As far as I can tell this is the most complete and best sounding version of the show available.

I hope you enjoy the show...
