''Listen To This, Eddie'' is a bootleg recording of a rock concert by English band Led Zeppelin, performed on June 21, 1977 at the Los Angeles Forum in Los Angeles, California.〔(Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary )〕 The first concert of a six night stint. It is often noted as one of the band's best (if not the best) performances. It is also distinguished by its clear sound. ==Overview== The concert was recorded by a member of the audience, Mike Millard, and was later released illegally on vinyl without the permission of the band or the taper. The original vinyl issue of the show was released on Rock Solid Records, and featured the first 60 minutes of the concert, from "The Song Remains the Same" through to "Ten Years Gone". The cover art for the album featured the same group image of the band member's faces from the back cover of ''Led Zeppelin III'', along with the mysterious obelisk from the cover of ''Presence''. The first pressing for the album was on colored (red) vinyl, numbered 1 of 500. In the 1990s the complete recording of the show became available on CD through various releases, with most of them using the same "Eddie" title. Millard's recording remains one of the best-known Led Zeppelin bootlegs. ''Listen To This, Eddie'' is highly regarded amongst collectors not only because of the highly energetic performance by the band but also because it was captured in exceptionally good audio quality.〔Rey, Luis (1997) ''Led Zeppelin Live: An Illustrated Exploration of Underground Tapes'', Ontario: The Hot Wacks Press. ISBN 4ISBN 0-9698080-7-0, p. 394.〕 This can largely be attributed to the dedication and experience of Millard, who by 1977 had already made several bootleg recordings of other concerts performed at the Los Angeles Forum. It is believed that he recorded this particular show from row six. The complete Millard recording lasts 190 minutes and includes the entire concert (including encores). It was the first of six shows at the Los Angeles Forum by Led Zeppelin, which came towards the end of its 1977 North American concert tour. Millard's recording of the opening number from this concert, "The Song Remains the Same", was included in the promos menu of the ''Led Zeppelin DVD''. The performance itself is regarded by some critics as being one of the best concerts of the 1977 tour,〔 with Jimmy Page performing lengthy solos and John Bonham playing drums heavily, yet with precision. Robert Plant is very talkative and despite the damage done to his voice and range from constant touring he sounds quite good for this point in the bands history. The band is also open for lengthy improvisations, as evidenced on "No Quarter", on which John Paul Jones guides the band to multiple instrumental jams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Listen to This Eddie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
