With some exception, Led Zeppelin never played as good as they did as when they played in Los Angeles. From 1970 on, the Forum in Inglewood became the site of some of the group’s biggest triumphs, including the vaunted show in 1972 that resulted in the triple-disc collection ‘How the West Was Won.’ In 1977, Zeppelin played an astounding six-night run at the Forum, all of which produced bootlegs of notable acclaim. It was the first night of their residency, however, that not only produced the best quality recording, but also the best overall performance resulting in what many consider to be the best live bootleg of any artist from that era.
