I wonder if the “Bagism” stuff they did for awhile had something to do with “we just want to be smacked out today on heroin”. Maybe the bag was a way to hide themselves, in case they were visibly messed up, nodding out, drooling, not able to speak, etc. 😂 Wouldn’t surprise me if that was their inside joke.

No one outside San Francisco would buy their shit studio albums . They toured and played concerts relentlessly , that how they made their money Easy enough for them when they could have stayed in California (wealth, population size ) and play the same clubs 30-40-50 times in a period of 4-6 years (when they started out ) and wouldn’t have need for cross state or cross country travel . I’m referring tot the early years . Imagine looking at the monthly schedule for the Fillmore , or Fillmore west or Winterland and various colleagues around the San Francisco area … Grateful Dead on 2-3 times a week in the same club …boring European bands and major US acts had a lot of expenses when travelling around the US and didn’t have the luxury of being generous thieves who developed ridiculous nothings that music should be free and “by god, I’m not paying to get into this concert, lets riot and break down the barrier fences because I have rights and fuck the artists trying to make a living “

GD did that with the hope that people would honestly be recording for their own personal use rather than try and sell it on in big numbers. It generated some trust between bands and their hardcore fans . Huge difference GD were not a commercial band. Sure, their concerts became huge deal later, but back in the 1960s and 1970s they sold nothing like The Beatles or Led Zeppelin. There’s no May that opportunists were going to go to a LZ concert , record it and not sell it in mass bulk . There would have been fuck all mass demand for GD bootleg compared to the major selling bands .
@gavintuesday4959Күн бұрын
If GD were commercially successful and assessable to the general record buying audience they probably wouldn’t have taken that stance. If they learned that members of their hardcore fans were abusing the trust that GD placed on them and went off to press several thousand of records FOR PROFIT , you can be that GD would not have been so generous - the motive (not happy that people are making money off them or they not getting a cut ) is irrelevant.

This is essentially a monopoly, or duopoly, where a few companies have got together, bribe some regulators through lobbying, and given themselves a huge cash advantage.

Have you seen the costs for even a small sized gig ? As for stadiums ? I know that the Americans are use to paying well over 200 dollars for a gig , but it’s creeped into Europe too . Yes, inflation has a lot to do with it ,likewise all the other issues that are out of the control of the promoter and band , but sweet Jesus , back in 2002 -2010 you could have gone to a weekend festival with all of the top top festival bands for about €150 (mayne an extra 10 or 20 for camping or all included ) . Now you’d be lucky to get that for one day stadium gig with one main act . Over 30€ for a small venue gig . It’s not cocaine I’m trying to buy Part of me preferred to get up at silly o’clock in the morning and que outside the record store for tickets to big events (yeah, tickmaster was still involved ) least it wasn’t as expensive snd there were less hidden charges The bands barely get a fraction of the cost of the ticket and they are the ones who the crowd expect a big sound system , lights and stage , not ticketmaster . That costs a lot

I want to put in a word for bootlegs. I know they are not approved by the band and there is no revenue going back to the artist but as a Pink Floyd fan (you hear Pink Floyd in the background of this documentary) I have bought many Pink Floyd bootlegs on record and CD but I already have a full collection of their official catalogue. The value of the bootleg album gives the listener an insight to the live performance of a band and Pink Floyd improvised a lot on their live performances which makes the bootlegs really amazing to listen to. Fat Old Sun, a track on the 1970 album Atom Heart Mother becomes a 20 minute epic masterpiece on the John Peel Paris Theatre sessions. Oakland May 9th 1977, Hollywood Bowl September 22 1972 are but a few of really defining Pink Floyd moments that would be lost forever if it not for the bootleggers.

Peter Grant....greatest manager in rock and roll. Guy did so many things right. But I think his only major folly was going after people recording Zep shows. It's unfortunate that Zep didn't take the approach that the Grateful Dead did. Let people record their shows but ask them to not sell bootlegs. Nearly every Zep show is available after a certain point, but some of the recording quality of the shows are atrocious. It would be nice for those of us who were too young to have been there to be able to hear more Zep. It's not like there's a lot of official live Zep available. Half dozen shows or so? I don't think the concert bootlegs would have interfered with Zeps money making abilities when it came to selling records. If anything, boots would make the band more desirable and more people would buy their official releases. Now, bootlegging official albums.....that's bad news. I'm glad he was after people that did that. The story of the Beatles record that was stolen is a bad one. People can be real scummy.

Peter Grant's biggest mistake in my opinion was not taking the route of having Led Zeppelin recorded live professionally and subsequently releasing an official live album sooner than "The Song Remains the Same". Jimmy Page ultimately rectified that with "The Way the West Was Won", but the time that had elapsed before this occurred dampened the immediacy of the impact.

innocent days, now they would realise all we wanted was a magic moment where we can hear the musicians playing their instruments, if anything now it's funny, they are paid by live performance, rather than recordings, and yes we are interested in their recording rather than bootlegs that we can make ourselves anyhow.
The ironic thing is that although Peter Grant was so much against bootlegging, he did make deals for Zeppelin which meant they got a decent amount of money and weren't exploited. This was unusual in the music industry where labels and managers often fleeced the artists. For the first few years Queen were on £50 a week whilst their manager was buying flash cars. I was born in the year this video was made. It's a different world now.

I seriously doubt that bootlegging hurts the musicians financially. They feel artistically slighted, I'm sure - the sound quality ranges from pretty good to absolutely awful - but I'm sure that those who buy bootlegs are the ones that have all of the legit releases, yours truly included. So there is nothing else to buy from the artist, plus I/they know that it wasn't produced using proper industry methodology/techniques so we know how to listen through rough sound. I/they just wanted the legendary Listen To This Eddie set from LA 1977. Both the performance (especially Bonham) and the sound quality (for a 1970's audience recording) are both A+. I have a few from Zeppelin and a few from Elton. Ever heard anything from his tours with just him and the piano? Incredible. We are all well aware of his fabulous voice and fantastic songwriting, but with out a backing band he simply plays more piano - A LOT MORE PIANO! Then one remembers "oh yeah, he attended The Royal Academy of Music."

So here Grant says that Blueberry Hill, the Zep bootleg was recorded through radio transmitters that went to a mobile recoding truck, which tells me that it was professional recorded by the mobile truck equipment

I think he was being a wise ass with that one. Doesn't look like there was recording gear set up that night. You can usually tell by the microphones on the drumkit at shows in those days

Mike Millard was famous for bootlegging Zeppelin, among other artists. He put his recording equipment on the bottom of a wheelchair, and rolled himself into the show. . .en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Millard

Only serious fans buy bootlegs....because they love the artists so much, and bought all the official releases....they'll buy bootlegs also....hasn't ever taken a dime from an artist....imo. Edit....I'm talking strictly live, audience recorded bootlegs, not stolen masters or private demos.....

I agree with you and also chances are if somebody wants some Master Tracks to get a better listen to isolated tracks which is why most of us desire those certainly those people myself included have bought dozens of the original copies of all their albums anyway so this really was much to do about nothing because to be honest most of the bootleg so I bought cost much more than the original albums anyway live or Studio recordings by the labels so this thing really is and has taken on a life of its own I understand somebody stealing Master Tracks as an artist I would be outraged that's pretty messed up if you're the artist but it would be nice if artists were a little more generous and sharing things like this for the people who really love and follow them and made them rich to begin with...

J'Mac ! Dumbfuck, the artist's own their music, so selling illegal recording''s of said music is fucking stealing you illiterate imbecillic moron, plus the quality of the product usually damages their status as artists. So basically STFU about what you know nothing about fool
@obbor45 жыл бұрын
Very True. In, fact, I thought the segment with Yoko saying, "Power to the people!" was kind of cool. Artists lose nothing by the sale of bootlegs, if anything, they may gain fans who may later go out and buy the official releases of the product. Like KZbin videos, it's basically free advertisement. I'm strictly speaking of live concerts, though. Stealing from the master tapes is most definitely piracy!

Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video on Peter Grant 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on KZbin. 😀

If a band never plays the same way and only sells albums, I think it's only right that the boots bloom and I thank all the boots because since the royalties are strong and Zep's career is over, only the boots give us oxygen and I don't care how much it costs the band members, I think they are rich enough.

What these clowns were doing is treating counterfeit STUDIO recordings the same as LIVE GIG recordings, when they are completely different things. A live gig comes and goes, any bootlegs will be nowhere as good as a pro recording. If an artist then releases a pro recording of that gig, then any bootlegs will be redundant and unsellable. This was the route Frank Zappa took with his "Beat The Boots" series of releases. Frank realised the demand was there, so, instead of constantly griping about it, he did the smart thing and filled it!
