Funeral For A Friend is a Led Zeppelin bootleg taken from a live show on 19 September, 1970 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The group played two shows that day, one at 2pm and another at 8pm. This CD is taken from the late show at 8pm. The audience recording was taped the day after the death of guitarist Jimi Hendrix, and Robert Plant offers condolences. This was performed a little over two weeks before the release of Led Zeppelin III, so it is quite pleasant to hear the reaction to the new material that includes "That's The Way", "Gallows Pole", "Since I've Been Loving You" and "Immigrant Song".
This one is a great audience recording for this era of technology, and of Zep live, pleasure to listen to. The performance is definitely a best-of-1970, at outset seems to take a while to get going … there are some crowd issues, Plant improvises a "sit down, sit down" lyric for the 1st verse of Dazed And Confused. Bring It On Home is really intense and from this point the band seems to have "won the audience over". Since I've Been Loving You has some unique ensemble improv and a great guitar solo. Jonesy is really stretching out in his organ solo, with what sounds like pitch-bending/shifting and the crowd seems to enjoy it. This show's utterly unique Whole Lotta Love does make it a strong "holy grail" candidate - it even briefly includes The Train Kept A Rollin’. Before as song starts, Plant says: “What we want to do is try to choose a good number to go on with.” Out On The Tiles is a raved-up "rhythm move along" version and the last time ver when they performed it live! Communication Breakdown includes Gallows Pole verses. Spontaneous Girl Can't Help It, Talking 'Bout You and Twenty Flight Rock encore medley is priceless and we're lucky to have it captured on tape. The band want to keep ensuring that their audience has a good time, so How Many More Times includes another excellent medley of odd tunes. What could we ask for more?
