The earliest tape in the set is the radio broadcast of the afternoon show from the Tivolis Koncertsal in Copenhagen,Denmark
on March 16th, 1969.
Confusion has always circulated about this tape with many releases,including this one,attributing it to March 14th early show
in the Konserthuset in Stockholm.
The twenty minute tape was broadcast on radio on “Rock fran underjorden” (”Rock From Underground”) in 1982 and 1985.
The tape contains complete renditions of “I Can’t Quit You,” “Dazed And Confused” and an improvisation called “I Gotta Move.
” It has been featured on numerous releases including Missing Links (The Diagrams Of Led Zeppelin TDOLZ Vol. 081) and
Super Session At Tivolis Koncertsal (Empress Valley EVSD-445), which is a very nice edit of the radio broadcast and an
audience tape from the show
Plays Gothic Blues contains only the twenty minute radio broadcast in excellent sound quality.
The radio station apparently didn’t record the first song “Train Kept A Rollin’.”The broadcast then begins with
“I Can’t Quit You” which is actually the third song of the night. Page broke a string during the first song and Plant,
Jones and Bonham improvise on “I Gotta Move” which is “a thing from Otis Rush” according to Robert.
Truth is, there is no Otis Rush song called “I Gotta Move.” This is a simple jam on a common blues theme.
The highlight of the short broadcast is a pristine version of the early 1969 “Dazed And Confused” which by this time already
has been expanded past the boundaries of the studio version. The tape ends with Plant’s introduction in “How Many More Times”
before the end. The first disc has a nice bonus, excerpts from the twenty-five minute excellent audience recording of the
April 25th Winterland show from the Good Old Led Zeppelin (Tarantura TCD-89~92).
