Led Zeppelin - Intimidator (1970)

Not only another Led Zeppelin bootleg, but a very good one !

This was the first concert at Montreux (more concerts was following the next years).

Led Zeppelin played at the Casino in Montreux in the middle of their first tour of Europe of the new decade.  A year and a half before some stupid with a flare gun burned down the venue, Zeppelin played one of their tightest and most intense sets of the year.  Most of the show was recorded from the audience.  The tape is rich, deep, powerful and one of the most vivid documents of the band basking in the success of Led Zeppelin II.  It is unfortunately incomplete, with minor cuts and with most of “How Many More Times” and “Whole Lotta Love” missing. 
It´s an mix between excellent audience and soundboard quality and shows how damn good this band was in their early days !
