Concerts
These pages contain summary concert lists for Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones solo years. The table contains a full listing of all known concert dates (which is as complete as I am able to ascertain), with the cells colour coded as per table below. In depth information can be found in the Bootleg database application.
| No shading = show definitely exists on bootleg tape |
Green shading = not known to exist on bootleg tape (probably not recorded) |
Orange shading =show may exist on uncirculated bootleg tape |
e = Show known to exist (but I don't have it)
Y = Show definitely exists
Please treat these listings as summary information, and refer to the Bootleg database for greater accuracy. It is worth noting that:
- Yardbirds - very few shows were taped.
- Led Zeppelin - most bootleg tapes are known. Those graded Orange are unsubstantiated rumours and any tapes claiming to be from these dates have most likely been confused with other dates. I'm open-minded to reports of new shows, but skeptical. For example, there have been constant rumours about Bath Festival 1970 on video, but nobody has ever seen it.
- Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones solo years - many shows were taped but have not been widely traded. New shows are regularly turning up.
- Page/Plant - the vast majority of shows were both taped and video'd.
The other columns in the tables should be self-explanatory:
- Video - some or all of this show exists on bootleg video
- Photos - photos exist for this show
- Artwork - CD artwork has been created for this show. See also ZeppelinArt.
Note that sometimes video exists but audio of the show does not - some shows in the early 70's were filmed with silent cine film. There may be photos for a show, but no bootleg tape. My primary interest is in a complete audio recording for the entire show.

Trading
The primary purpose of these tables is to provide other collectors with some reference information. My main interest is in audio and video material, and these columns in the table should provide a good indication on the shows that exist. The photo and artwork columns are less complete, and there is probably a lot more photo material in existence.
I am interested in trading for any shows that are shaded in Green or Orange in these tables.
