Notes:
Over the years, there's been much speculation regarding the validity of Led Zeppelin's appearance at Ecole Centrale's Piston 70 - despite a review in the French magazine Best in February 1970 and a publication of the programme in the book Hexagonal Experiences. The first clue was the photographs of the gig taken by Gilles Château, which were published on the LedZeppelin.com website.
But now, more than 40 years later, there's no doubt that it really happened since this recording has been dig out! A 40 years old master tape that has never been circulated before. It must have a few glitches from times to times, but it's a miracle that it was not completely gone after all this time.
I first heard about the Châtenay-Malabry show through the website of Jean-Claude Bellamy (a former Centrale student who operated as a lighting engineer that night). Having done an engineer school myself, I always remained curious to find a copy of the show, but quickly realized it was a controversial date. But I kept believing in it, and basically always asked about it when Led Zeppelin came into the discussion. I'm finally so glad that I managed to find it and was able to restore it. Nowadays, it'd likely have just been rubbishly ripped onto mp3 and shared onto a blog as if it was an evident download. A shame because such a new Led Zep find is a very big deal. I've spent many hours on the editing just for the sake of all the fans who hoped to hear it as well.
Just a few last notes:
The very begining of the intro may be missing, but it really seems that 'Good Times Bad Times'
was not played as a song, but just as an intro:
a) This webpage: http://www.ledzepconcerts.com/concer...?id=lz19691206
sates it was only the intro played
b) Another part of the song was played into 'How Many More Times'
Additionaly, 'How Many More Times' features another Led Zeppelin II song which, to my knowledge, had never been played as part of this song. I don't give the answer here, but it must be something unique to this show!
