Only weeks after fan-shot 1970 footage of Led Zeppelin in L.A. was unearthed — previously unseen pro-shot silent film of the band at the Bath Festival has popped up on YouTube. Loudersound.com reported the 30-minutes of outdoor footage comes from Zeppelin’s June 28th, 1970 performance at the Bath & West Showground in Shepton Mall and was captured by director Peter Whitehead — best known for his famed 1965 Rolling Stones tour documentary, Charlie Is My Darling.
Zeppelin’s performance was but part of an extensive weekend lineup that also featured such heavyweights as Pink Floyd, the Moody Blues, the Byrds, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention, Steppenwolf, Johnny Winter, Fairport Convention, Dr. John, and more.
SIDE NOTES
- Last month, seven minutes of amazingly clear fan-shot footage from Led Zeppelin‘s legendary September 4th, 1970 concert at The Forum in L.A. has been discovered.
- The footage, which is now up on YouTube, has been expertly synched with the classic bootleg of the show, titled On Blueberry Hill, and was shot by fan Eddie Vincent,who smuggled his family’s windup 8mm Kodak Brownie into the gig, which allowed him to record in 30-second bursts.
