Product Description
Amazon.ca
Frequently bootlegged and now digitally remastered by Jimmy Page, these tapes capture a 25-month (1969 to 1971) arc in which Zep's sound grew to encompass the speed rush and jazz/blues festival stuff of their 1969 debut, the fully developed folkie musings of "Going to California" (in which Plant vowed to make a hejira right up to Joni Mitchell's front door), and the band's modestly popular multilayered epic "Stairway to Heaven." The Sessions also give a glimpse of nearly off-the-cuff invention in an intense take on Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues". Most other white blues musicians would've rushed to get this on vinyl; Page and Plant instead used it for parts, most notably taking its profound acoustic freneticism for Led Zeppelin III. --Rickey Wright

I have all three Zeppelin live CDs. "The Song Remains The Same" (Very underrated, and unappreciated in my opinion), "How The West Was Won", and "BBC Sessions", and this CD, is by FAR is the best of the bunch (I would rank it only behind Zeppelin 4 and "Physical Grafitti" as far as overall Zeppelin CDs are concerned). First off, it has unreleased Zeppelin songs such as "Girl I Love She Got Black Wavy Hair". Next it has the FIRST performance of "Stairway To Heaven" (This was performed BEFORE Zeppelin 4 was released). And finally, it has the most neglected Zeppelin song of all time: "What Is And What Should Never Be" from Zeppelin 2. Simply put, for now, it is the best live Zeppelin CD to date, and a must have for ANYONE who likes Zeppelin at all.

It always amazes me how great bands were great live. If you listen to the Beatles at the BBC, you realize that George Martin didn't really have to do anything except turn the microphones on. (Okay, that's an exaggeration, but not by much.) Same with these performances at the BBC of Led Zeppelin at the height of their powers, yet before they were megastars. Effortlessly fine blues rock. Nobody does it better and nobody recorded them live better than the BBC.
Format:Audio CD
Led Zeppelin where one of the greatest live rock n roll bands in the history of rock n roll. When they played the BBC they where very young all seeking to write songs. On the CD their are alot of blues jams in the process. Their are the same old songs as well as Communication Breakdown, and Dazed And Confused. I think this CD really is a great studio (live) recording. Their are alot of repheats of songs like Dazed And Confused thats the only downfall other then that here is four stars.

I think this is the best Zeppelin release to date. While How The West Was Won is nice, I prefer the BBC Sessions. I am however alittle disappointed at this release. Read more

Best White Blues I've Ever Heard
This cd is an example of Led Zeppelin's deeply rooted blues origins. The first cd contains 3 very different versions of Communication Breakdown, the 1st is a little more bluesy and... Read more

Finally off the scratchy old radio cassette
I taped a good portion of this off, I think, The King Biscuit Flour Hour in 1984 or '85. It was the only time it was broadcast in many, many years. Read more

>!!!!<*BEST LIVE LED ZEPPELIN ALBUM* >!!!!<
Why this was so easily forget when promoting the 2003 release of "How the West was won" is puzzling. Pagey & crew are amply represented in the recordings for BBC sessions. Read more

Once is enough!
I like Zeppelin, and the selection of songs on these CDs is pretty good. However, as much as I love Dazed and Confused & Communication Breakdown, do we really have to hear them... Read more

Outstanding.
Can't add much more to what's already been said. However, I will say that while Zep BBC is one of the best things I've heard in years, you should also look into any number of other... Read more

THE BEST ZEP LIVE AND MORE
I still prefer this to "How the West was Won" - superior sound recording (if a little quiet on the audience side). This is a devastating band ascending its peak. Read more

Worthwhile addition to a Zeppelin collection
Enough people have written about this CD so I can't add much more. I will however, ask the listener to imagine you've never heard Led Zeppelin before, and then listen to this... Read more

Raw energy and intensity from the early days
Led Zeppelin's "BBC Sessions" captures much of the group's energy from their early period, before they became heavy metal gods. Read more
