: Live On Blueberry Hill (Genuine Masters GM-LZ-04.09.1970-DVD-A-04) 1DVD-R Picture Disc. DVD/Image montage concept. NTSC All Regions. Linear PCM Audio
4th September 1970, The Forum, Inglewood, Los Angeles, CA

This concert is quite rightly regarded as one of the very best in Led Zeppelin's Live career. There have been countless releases on CD by numerous labels, and it is unlikely this release will be the last. what one can say about this release however is first and foremost it is in really excellent mono sound (with a little bit of the stereo audience recording to make it more complete). The main source is a first generation mono audience recording (the source of the classic Blimp/Trade Mark of Quality original vinyl release Live On Blueberry Hill, the same source as used by Neutral Zone in their pioneering 2 CD release way back in 1989, also called Live On Blueberry Hill. The sound is wonderful, and no EQ was applied to the tape, so an incredible achievement by the intrepid taper on that early September evening in 1970 at the Forum in Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles. The mono sound on this new release is very well balanced and mixed between vocals and instruments, it really is a joy to hear this concert in the very best possible sound. Each song is indexed at the beginning of the DVD Audio, and every song is nicely introduced with its title superimposed on the very famous William Stout original TMOQ vinyl cover. This is of course the famous painting entitled "Gabrielle d' Estrйes And One Of Her Sisters", which is in the Louvre in Paris. However, what is particularily striking on this DVD is the use of many art images (which took some months to gather together) from the 14th to16th Centuries, from English, Flemish, Italian and Dutch Masters. Who says that listening to and watching a Led Zeppelin boot DVD is not both instructive and educational! It really makes a very nice change, and is in keeping with the William Stout artwork (surely the finest boot artwork ever created, by a superb and very highly talented artist). This release is a credit to Genuine Masters, who have pioneered a most innovative and unusual way of marrying sound and image. I thoroughly enjoyed their Sydney and Brisbane releases, and this superb release of the historic Blueberry Hill concert deserves a wide circulation with all fans. Highly recommended. The DVD is a beautifully printed full colour disc, and the DVD case art is also of a very high quality. (Jules McTrainspotter May 04).

September 4, 1970, The Forum, Inglewood, Los Angeles, CA

Many, if not all, of us are familiar with the landmark and unforgettable performance Led Zeppelin gave to that lucky audience in Inglewood on September 4, 1970. We are fortunate that enterprising souls were there to record it for posterity - very fortunate indeed. I submit that we are now that much more fortunate for what Genuine Masters has produced with this DVD, and it’s a definite keeper. Unlike Rovers Return, there is not a single picture of Zeppelin, or even something Zeppelin related, anywhere in the performance portion of this disc (there are shots from the concert in the menus, though, for those who also like to see that). What makes this disc so special is how images from the High Renaissance and Baroque periods are juxtaposed to the power and emotion of this great concert. Exaggerated, naked images from centuries ago are shuffled along while listening to a 1970 Zeppelin show in excellent quality. As a result, when watching this I don't want to be transported back to Australia in 1972, but, instead, find myself getting pulled deeper and deeper into the performance as these seemingly out-of-place pictures offer a surprising complement to the music. This is a brilliant contrast and idea. And the audio, to my ears, is by far the finest sounding release ever of this show (I do not have all possible releases if this show, though). Bonzo's snare sounds like a snare and not like it's under water, a nagging presence on the other Blueberry Hill recordings I've heard. Dazed, BIOH, OOTT, etc., are all powerful and clear. The artwork for the case is beautiful, and the disc is adorned consistent with the artwork shuffled during the performance. All in all, an extremely enjoyable item that could've only been created after many, many hours of dedicated and thoughtful work. While I have no idea if this product is a truly "limited edition," I am happy to have obtained one for myself. If you're able, get a copy of this while they're still available.

Live On Blueberry Hill - Genuine Masters DVD A

This is probably my favourite show . I already had titles by Sanctuary , Cobla Premium and Last Stand. When I placed my order for this title, whilst I would be interested with the DVD presentation, I was primarily loooking forward to hearing the CDR package. The sound quality of the CDRs for Rovers Return was, in my opinion, miles better that what I had ( including Ayers Rock ). I was not disappointed. The sound quality is wonderful. So clear. Extremely well balanced. The accoustic set being particularily enjoyable. I have no understanding whatsoever what goes into producing the sound on a title , but to achieve such an upgrade on such a famous title, where others have tried, well I can only take my hat off . This is not just another rehash of what has gone before . Buy this title and you can put your other copy(ies) off to the back of the shelf . You will not bother to play them again . I wholeheartedly endorse Mr McTrainspotter's comments . The DVD is excellent . I really enjoyed the introductory piece - a crashing Zeppelin. The artwork is first class. I understand Genuine Masters are due to release yet another 21st June 197. If their title in terms of sound quality improves on what is currently available ,then I will be one happy chap.

In the past thirty-something years of Zeppelin bootlegging there have emerged perhaps two or three titles that have the luxury of repeating themselves without causing the usual grief associated with multiple re-releases. This is a wonderful thing indeed because more than anything else it pays homage to the pioneering tapers and artists who made it all happen. Whenever the names of Mike Millard or William Stout are recalled it is always with the utmost respect, admiration and amazement at the level of passion and foresight demonstrated by their forging of what has now become a new art-form in itself. Like any new art-form bootlegging requires emulation in order that the skills are preserved for posterity. The more the art-form is repeated, improved and improvised by new practitioners, the more chance it has of surviving. BlackDog’s Live On Blueberry Hill is a tribute to William Stout’s original concept – Stout’s concept was to provide a parallel between sexual liberation in the sixteenth century and Zeppelin’s hedonistic music and lifestyle. Building on Stout’s brilliant idea, BlackDog provides an ingenious montage of an un-eq’d version of the famous September show with a series of paintings and sculptures associated with personal liberation and disdain for traditional forms of authority. The result is sheer magnificence! All the mental images and sense of historical importance conjured by Stout’s original work are developed and taken to a new level as the show unfolds. What we get then is a great idea of not only this period of art, but also of the importance of both Zeppelin’s early career and the resulting genesis of a new art-form, which we have subsequently come to love so dearly. To top this off there is a definite upgrade in the quality of the mono source, as mentioned by the previous reviewers, and the missing segments are filled with the excellent stereo source used on the Cobla standard. Genuine Masters are doing more than any other to keep this art-form alive and healthy. (Liam Stone May 04)

Live On Blueberry Hill (Genuine Masters GM-LZ-04.09.1970-DVD-A-04)

Well I was excited to hear the release of this offering from the team at Genuine Masters, following on the concept from Sydney 1972. The sound offering on this is near excellent and the best to date given the limited capabilities of the DVD player. The music like other releases has a photo slide show in the background, however in my opinion rather pointless. The photographs are from an old fashioned porno show in memory to William Stout and are quite off putting. I would imagine that the time to put this together must have took a considerable amount of time. Full marks to the sound quality, this really does sound excellent, but as for the pictures, not too my taste. It would have been nice to have seen photographs and memorabilia from the 1970 US Tour era similar to the Sydney 1972 offering which was quite enjoyable. However you pays your money and you takes your chance. (Lee Henley - Sept 04)

Live On Blueberry Hill (Genuine Masters DVD and CDR)

Like other reviewers, I have this show from multiple issuers: 4 different bootleg CD labels and 7 bootleg LP releases. One of my fav shows, one of my first bootleg purchases back in 1990. Why Zeppelin hasn't officially released this show will forever be mystery to me. Genuine Masters has released a superb-sounding audio backed by fantastic old European renaissance art in honor of William Stout's original TMOQ LP cover art. You will never look at a coffee-table artbook or visit a museum exhibition of 14th century paintings without humming music from this concert! I don't know what Black Dog's plan are for future GM releases, but I think this title is the perfect blend of art & music, sound & image, that will be hard to top. Naked female (primarily) bodies and the music of Led Zeppelin are a perfect combination, IMHO. I highly recommend this DVD to all zep fans, share it with your local museum/art gallery owner, show them the proper way to present fine art! As an aside, I would love to know the opinions of Mr.'s Page/Plant/Jones of this release's interpretation. (David Smith, Jr May 04)

I recently started collecting Genuine Master’s titles, because, despite my searching around for some time, I was unable to find any of its titles at any shops in Tokyo or from the lists of any Japanese Internet dealers. But I finally found the way to get them, thanks to the information from the community! As everyone who has ever purchased any of GM’s titles would probably agree, I have by now been fascinated by both the sound quality and the artistic presentation of each and every of its productions. In my opinion, this title “Live On Blueberry Hill” is so far one of the best examples evidencing the specialness of GM’s titles. The “mono” audience recording of this famous concert featured in this title is probably as good as it can be and is almost of official quality, very clean and well-balanced, but still sounds powerful. Moreover, what is amazing is the manner in which GM presented this title. GM has assembled and presented, as visual images accompanying the sound, a countless number of beautiful slides of medieval arts. This is definitely something very special that we would not be able to get from anywhere else than a dedicated producer such as Mr. Black Dog at GM who has the great energy and passion to nail it! It is a very thoughtful tribute to William Stout who painted the famous cover art for the original analog boot of the same title, as well as to the master painters of older times. A real gem and “must have” for any serious collector! (Takemi Hiramatsu Feb 05)
