IMP-N-030 IDOL MIND PRODUCTION 3cds&1DVDR

This historic show begins with a moog synthesizer for soundcheck; then sam cutler thanking all the organizers for their tireless work to make this show possible; Santana opens with Savor heavy on keyboard tones and percussion; next is Jingo which shows the band in a good groove with Evil Ways following which is cut due to the crowd and the Hell’s Angels scuffling under the influence of acid mayhem; which builds during this concert. Jefferson Airplane follow woth The other Side of this Life with a nice harmony blend between grace slick,paul kantner and marty balin 3/5 of a mile is next with some nice bass runs by jack cassidy; greasy heart follows incorrectly listed as fat angel with a very tight rhythm groove and Jorma playing a solid lead; the angels and marty balin get into it during this time frame with balin being knocked out;order seems to be restored during white rabbit the trippy song accentuated by Grace’s smooth rendering of it; the Airplane set ends with Free Bird and a great groove on You&Me&Pooneil. The Flying Burrito Brothers follow with a nice laid back set of the country rock flavored tunes Six Days on the Road,High Fashion QueenCody Cody and the uptempo boogie number Lazy Day. Crosby, Stills,Nash&Young follow the Burrito set with Stephen Stills penned track Black Queen with some nice lead work by Stills; pre road downs is the next tune with some nice guitar interplay between stills & Neil Young with Graham Nash & David Crosby interwined on vocals with Stills gruff tones. Down By the River ends their pleasant set rather peacefully. As the Rolling Stones appear on stage Sam Cutler politely asks the Hell’s Angel’s to get off the stage; Cutler introduces the band followed by Mick Jagger saying “It’s so good to see you all” to the massive audience; Jumping Jack Flash opens with a rather sluggish beginning; the band picks it up with Carol & Sympathy for the Devil showcasing the newest Stone, Mick Taylor who had replaced the departed Brian Jones. Jagger imploring the crowd as the band stops during Sympathy for the Devil as the acid fused crowd and the Hell’s Angels, ripped out of their gords continue to scuffle; they resume finishing sympathy and the sun is shing begins with more mayhem in the crowd; a very pleasant Stray Cat Blues follows with love in vain next with Mick Taylor playing some very nice chops. Under my thumb is reportedly where the young black man Mereduth Hunter is killed and the band stops during under my thumb;Jagger unable to control the crowd looking more comical than menacing in his “Devil outfit” Cape and all ; Keith and an an angel about to come to blows,as the Angels seem to be so acid fueled they work several people in the crowd over with pool cues. Brown Sugar is next; with what i believe is it’s debut, pleasant good rgyth between Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts; Midnight Rambler follows which Jagger introduces as “A new one; which we hope yoi will dig” Some superb bass lines betweem Keith & Mick Taylor’s guitar interplay.Disc two ends with highly charged rockers Live With Me and Gimme Shelter.
Disc three starts with some more Jagger chat as to everyone needs to chill prior to the old Chuck Berry rocker Little Queenie.Satisfaction,Honkey Tonk Women and Street Fighting Man end the show on an ominous note as the Stones escape into the chilled california night. The bonus tracks are from a taper that was put on the radio with various tracks from the stones,santana,flying burrito brothers to conclude disc three. The DVDR subtiltled in Japanese is a commentary of an englishman narrating his journey into the United States to see the beach boys & the blonde haired babes on california beaches; following is a commentary with photos of the event and a desvription of the mayhem that transpired on this eventful day; the closing of the sixties on a note far from rhe peace & love generation with still photos as the various artists SantanamCSN&Y,Stones, Jefferson Airplane music is played. A rather mediocre DVDR as it is; although the summerization o f that day’s events is accurate.
All in all the sound is superb for the Stones show, with the Airplane.Santana,Flying Burrito Brothers having superb sound as well. Recommened for the historian as well as those who dig these particular bands.

‘California ‘69′ on the Lemon Song label has been upgraded by Empress Valley and Scorpio labels. For those that don’t know about these releases, they cover the January 12, 1969 Fillmore West show. It’s not a great recording on either of these titles however quite listenable considering the limited recording equipment available in 1969. “Lemon Song” releases are indeed of Japanese origin and I rarely see them being offered these days. I have no idea how many copies were pressed however there are completest like myself who have to have everything regardless if there’s upgrades available

According to the Illustrated Collector’s Guide To Led Zeppelin (CD Edition Volume Two) by Robert Godwin, there is no mention of it being rare; but that doesn’t mean it’s not. I’ve never seen it during all my years of collecting. I’m sure it would fetch quite a few bucks on Ebay, but of course, most unauthorized live Zep gets shut down on Ebay pretty quickly.

I have a Led Zeppelin cd titled ‘California ’69′ on the Lemon Song label. I know it is Japanese in origin. Can anyone shed any light on this cd as to how many were made and whether it is a rare item? I have been unable to find very much information on this cd and would be grateful for your assistance.
Do you think it is worth anything in today’s market?

I wasn’t sure where to post this question… Does anybody have an online inexpensive source for CD jewel cases? In particular I am looking for slim (not the fat boy type) double jewel cases with hinges on the center tray the hold the discs. Where the center part that is actually two prices. The part that is ‘connected’ to the case stays still so the tray inlay artwork doesn’t doesn’t get damaged.

Hi TJS. The series of reviews for Zeppelin et al on 4/5 to 4/7 are old reviews just reposted. They were lost while doing maintanence. I decided to just post them as new instead of figuring out where to backstamp them.

It is nice to revisit these old articles though.
