Live on Blueberry Hill


Live on Blueberry Hill is a bootleg recording of English rock group Led Zeppelin's performance at the Los Angeles Forum on September 4, 1970, which took place during their summer 1970 North American Tour.
The audience recording is one of the first Led Zeppelin bootlegs, and one of the first ever rock and roll bootlegs. It was released on the Blimp label. The album was reissued on the Trademark of Quality label and shipped to England. The album sold so many copies that many fans thought it was a legal release. The sleeve notes describe it as "One hundred and six minutes and fifty three seconds of pure alive rock."
Live on Blueberry Hill derives its name from Zeppelin's performance of Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill" as a final encore. The bootleg also features one of the few known live performances of "Out on the Tiles", from the group's third album, plus "Bron-Yr-Aur", which would not be released officially until five years later, on Physical Graffiti.
From the 1980s the bootleg became available on CD as a 2-disc set, often under the titles Blueberry Hill and The Final Statements.
Led Zeppelin parody cover band Dread Zeppelin released an album in 1995 entitled Live on Blueberry Cheesecake – a play on the title of this bootleg release.
"I actually prefer …Blueberry Hill to Pb," remarked photographer Ross Halfin, "even though it isn't such good sound quality, but because it includes the whole show."
In 2017, the Empress Valley bootleg label released the 9-CD Live On Blueberry Hill: The Complete 1970 L.A. Forum Tapes, which includes five different source recordings of the concert.
