LED ZEPPELIN
1969 Scandinavian Tour...The Audience Recordings

CD 1:
KONSERTHUSET, STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, March 14, 1969
1st gen>DAT>CDR
1. Train Kept A-Rollin'
2. I Gotta Move
3. I Can't Quit You
4. Dazed & Confused
5. White Summer / Black Mountain Side
6. How Many More Times

The audience tape begins with a lengthy introduction of the band. 
The levels fluctuate wildly during Train Kept a Rollin'. 
Plant, Jones, and Bonzo play an excellent bluesy jam, in which Jones shows off his chops, 
while Page changes a broken string. Bonzo loses the snares from his snare drum during I Can't Quit You Baby.

It sounds as if the band is about to play Communication Breakdown right after the bow solo in Dazed and Confused. 
There's something wrong with Page's equipment near the end of the song, causing his guitar to drop out for the last verse. 
How Many More Times includes an extended jam/guitar solo, but the band seems to get lost a few times. 
The audience tape ends with another lengthy stage announcement.

The soundboard tape is a great, if a bit bass-heavy, broadcast master. 
The audience tape is terribly hissy and muffled. What a contrast.

CD 2 - March 15, 1969

1. The Train Kept A Rollin'    
2. I Can't Quit You
3. As Long As I Have You
4. You Shook Me
5. Communication Breakdown

The tape starts with Plant mentioning a forty-five minute delay. 
His voice breaks a couple times in Train Kept a Rollin', 
but it doesn't slow him down. 
He's warmed up by I Can't Quit You Baby, which draws shouts from the crowd. 
Page's fingers get a bit sticky in the last solo.

As Long as I Have You has a frantic intro. Bonzo is attacking his drums nonstop. 
Page's playing is aggressive in the solo. Plant is going wild, telling the audience to "sock it to me." 
An excellent version of I Just Want to Make Love to You is included before the last verse. 
There's a tongue in cheek intermission jam before Plant introduces You Shook Me, "despite Che Guevara." 
Page's guitar tone is very loud and abrasive. The short show ends with Communication Breakdown, which has a Hendrix-inspired intro.

The tape is noisy, but clear with Page and Plant again up front and Bonzo and Jones buried somewhere in the back.

6. The Train Kept A Rollin'    
7. I Can't Quit You
8. Dazed And Confused
9. You Shook Me

Plant thanks the audience for their patience before Train Kept a Rollin'. 
Page's guitar licks sound like razor blades in I Can't Quit You Baby. Dazed and Confused is dedicated to "the young ladies working the strobes." 
Page slaps the strings aggressively during the bow solo. His guitar tone is dirty and gritty in You Shook Me.

The tape is hissy and a bit muddy with Page overpowering the rest of the band.
