Hear the only known soundboard recording of Led Zeppelin playing “When the Levee Breaks” live.
“When the Levee Breaks” wraps up Led Zeppelin IV and became an instant fan favorite, but it was the only song from the LP that the band didn’t even attempt on their initial tour behind it. It’s unclear exactly why they stayed away from it, but it’s possible they felt the sound they achieved on the master recording was a result of the unique environment at Headley Grange and recreating it would be very difficult.
They finally attempted to play “When the Levee Breaks” in January 1975 when they went on tour shortly beforecame out. The most likely reason seems to be that Jimmy Page broke his ring finger in a subway door and had to briefly play with just three fingers, causing them to rejigger the show a bit to accommodate him. There are five known live versions of “When the Levee Breaks” and they all come from January 1975.
For the past five decades, the only available versions of the January 1975 “When the Levee Breaks” performances were found on shoddy audience tapes. But just last year, a clean soundboard of the band’s Jan. 18th, 1975, show in Bloomington, Minnesota, surfaced online. Here’s audio of “When the Levee Breaks” from that night.
Recordings like this are yet more evidence that Led Zeppelin are desperately in need of an official Bootleg Series. They are one of the best live bands in rock history, but they’ve released pathetically few concert albums. These circumstances have created a thriving market for bootlegs, but why exactly aren’t they simply doing this themselves? They’ve remastered the catalog time and time again. It’s time to break into their concert vault and start sharing it with the world.
