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

 Great live zeppelin album May 31, 2008
This is another must-have for anyone who can't hear enough live Led Zeppelin.
This album seems a little less polished than the other live recordings; the tracks
are older and there are multiple versions of some of the classics. There is nothing
on this I don't enjoy listening to.

One should never question an album with Led Zeppelin on it. This one proves that they did it. They rocked the 60s into the 70s. These sessions are raw proof of their live abilities, stay away from the knobs, Satan! If you believe in real music, without overdone overdubs, but just real musicians getting it on at blues and rock, you cannot be wrong buying this one. For everybody else: buy this one and start getting a life!
 Overdubs... May 20, 2008
I absolutely love early Led Zeppelin, especially with regards to their live material when it still reflected their blues influence. This recording makes very good use of space while documenting an important transitional time in their career, ie You Shook Me through Stairway to Heaven. My most favorite part of the album is John Paul Jone's contributions. His organ and bass work really carry the band. He was extremely underrated for his ability. My biggest gripe about this disc is something that stands out sooo much, but isn't discussed, which is overdubbing. While Traveling Riverside Blues is excellent and many here agree, it has many overdubs over the open slide part, ie. solo at the end. Other tracks have them as well, but not as overbearing as "On Stage" by Chuck Berry, "Got Live if you Want it" by The Stones or "Skull and Roses" by the Grateful Dead. Overall, its a great album, but just be aware that even the best have to add a little extra to spice it up.
Best version of Led Zeppelin 2 Ever!! February 16, 2008
Led Zeppelin's second album was my "gateway Zeppelin" experience. That is what I like most about this studio/live recording.
While I have always loved the songs and sounds of II, the production values were HORRIBLE! It has a muddy, bottom heavy sound that never did the songs justice. On this BBC live in the studio double disc, the best of II are there with a dynamic, bright and inspired (LIVE) sound.
The original Led Zeppelin II can only be enjoyed at 1 or 2 o clock on the volume. This BBC studio set sounds great at 10 or 11 o clock!
Stop reading these reviews and BUY THIS DOUBLE CD!
Squeeze that Lemon February 16, 2008
My wife got this for me for Valentines. Not knowing anything about this collection I thought it was just going to be a rehash of songs I already had. From the minute I popped it in though I realized that the versions presented here (in fact duplicate but unique versions of some songs) really highlight what a great band Led Zeppelin was, as their songs could morph at any moment into something totally unexpected, yet still pound with the energy that they are known for. I'm going to enjoy listening to this one as it brings a new freshness to these songs, even though they were recorded almost 30 years ago.
