‘Destroyer’
one of best
Led bootlegs
Led Zeppelin
“Destroyer” (Bootleg)
Swingin’ Pig Records
Tweniy-thrce years ago, Keith
Moon of the Who gave Yardbirds’
guitarist Jimmy Page a name for the
new band Page wanted to form. Moon
suggested that Page’s blues-based
group would go over like a lead zep
pelin.
Moon, obviously, was wrong. Even
11 years after the demise of the band,
Led Zeppelin has attained a status
uncqualcd by any band except the
Beatles and perhaps the Rolling Stones.
One of the signs of the intense
popularity of Led Zcp over the years
has been the underground release of
nearly 500 bootleg recordings from
the band’s 12-ycar career.
The vast majority of these are
complete rip-offs. Extremely poor
recordings arc the norm. There arc, of
course, exceptions to every rule. And
one such exception is the latest re
lease of the “Destroyer” concert re
corded in Cleveland on April 27,1977.
The release of this material by Swingin’
Pig Records from Germany is unoffi
cially the sixth release of this famous
concert over the years.
The Cleveland concert is well
known by Zeppelin enthusiasts. It is
widely sought after because of a rare
combination of elements: The sound
quality is superb, and the perform
ance is exceptional and very long.
The show was recorded midway
through Led Zeppelin’s 1977 U.S.
tour at Cleveland’s Richfield Coli
seum. It was the band’s first tour
since 1975 and featured the first live
performances of the material from
the “Presence” album released in 1976.
The amazing thing to appreciate
when listening to this concert is that
since it was never intended for public
release, there were no attempts made
to clean up the mistakes that occa
sionally arise in live performances.
Many critics complained that the
band’s official live release, “The Song
Remains The Same,” had no real
impact because of track overdubs and
intensive editing that went into its
production. It is remarkable that the
Cleveland recording contains as few
mistakes as it does considering that
the band was on stage for more than 2
1/2 hours.
The highlight of the two disc set is
undoubtedly the version of “Sick
Again,” which first appeared on the
“Wiysical Graffiti” album in 1975.
The song begins with the opening
bars of “The Rover” and then blasts
into the classic rock song. This ver
sion is far more powerful than the
original and almost makes the whole
album worth owning.
However, “Sick Again” isn’t the
only shining moment on “Destroyer.”
Zep also blazes on memorable tracks
like “Nobody’s Fault But Mine,” “In
My Time Of Dying,” “Achilles Last
Stand,” “Kashmir” and “No Quar
ter,” which features a spectacular free
form jam by Page, drummer John
Bonham, and bassist/keyboardist John
Paul Jones.
The album also gives fans a rare
chance to hear Jimmy Page sing as he
backs up vocalist Robert Plant on the
Tolkien-inspired talc — “The Battle
of Evermore.”
The only flaws with this bootleg,
and even the best boots have flaws,
arc the following: Two songs, “The
Song Remains The Same” and “Rock
and Roll,” arc incomplete at the be
ginning and faded in after several
bars. Also, it seems that at the end of
the second disc, most notably on
“Achilles Last Stand,” the treble fades
out a bit. Presumably this is because
of the effects of the noise-reduction
system used tt> improve the 15-ycar
old tapes.
Also, the band’s version of John
Bonham’s famous “Moby Dick,”
which was performed that night in a
medley with “Out On The Tiles,” is
not included here. Fortunately, the
total running time of two hours and
20 minutes for the two discs leaves
little room for complaining.
When compared to the rest of the
heap, “Destroyer” stands among the
very best of the Led Zep bootleg
catalog. It’s unfortunate that the re
cording is so hard to find and so
expensive — expect to pay S40-S60.
But true enthusiasts should still be
able to hunt down a copy.
