Frequently bootlegged and now digitally remastered by Jimmy Page, these tapes capture a 25-month (1969 to 1971) arc in which Zep's sound grew to encompass the speed rush and jazz/blues festival stuff of their 1969 debut, the fully developed folkie musings of "Going to California" (in which Plant vowed to make a hejira right up to Joni Mitchell's front door), and the band's modestly popular multilayered epic "Stairway to Heaven." The Sessions also give a glimpse of nearly off-the-cuff invention in an intense take on Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues." Most other white blues musicians would've rushed to get this on vinyl; Page and Plant instead used it for parts, most notably taking its profound acoustic freneticism for Led Zeppelin III. --Rickey Wright

 Could Have Been 5 Stars, But........ August 30, 2008
I like this album for the most part, I own every recording by LZ (except some rare imports), including DVD versions and DVD-A (5.1). The second disc is recorded with reasonably good sound for that period. The first disc is MONO not stereo, which ruins it for me. Still a good purchase for any true Zepp fan.
A great live album August 29, 2008
I first heard this album while hanging with a buddy of mine. I didn't get it right away but with I would have. Since purchasing it I bet I have listened to it dozens of times. I think it is their best live album.
 Great live zeppelin album May 31, 2008
This is another must-have for anyone who can't hear enough live Led Zeppelin.
This album seems a little less polished than the other live recordings; the tracks
are older and there are multiple versions of some of the classics. There is nothing
on this I don't enjoy listening to.

One should never question an album with Led Zeppelin on it. This one proves that they did it. They rocked the 60s into the 70s. These sessions are raw proof of their live abilities, stay away from the knobs, Satan! If you believe in real music, without overdone overdubs, but just real musicians getting it on at blues and rock, you cannot be wrong buying this one. For everybody else: buy this one and start getting a life!
 Overdubs... May 20, 2008
I absolutely love early Led Zeppelin, especially with regards to their live material when it still reflected their blues influence. This recording makes very good use of space while documenting an important transitional time in their career, ie You Shook Me through Stairway to Heaven. My most favorite part of the album is John Paul Jone's contributions. His organ and bass work really carry the band. He was extremely underrated for his ability. My biggest gripe about this disc is something that stands out sooo much, but isn't discussed, which is overdubbing. While Traveling Riverside Blues is excellent and many here agree, it has many overdubs over the open slide part, ie. solo at the end. Other tracks have them as well, but not as overbearing as "On Stage" by Chuck Berry, "Got Live if you Want it" by The Stones or "Skull and Roses" by the Grateful Dead. Overall, its a great album, but just be aware that even the best have to add a little extra to spice it up.
