This is part question, part request.

I know about the 75 Minnesota and LA Forum soundboards that have surfaced, but can anyone tell me if any other Zeppelin soundboards from any era (68-80) have surfaced in the past few years, especially from Empress Valley? I've been out of the game for several years and wanted to catch up.

Here's the request, and it's a big one: would anyone be willing to post the known Led Zeppelin soundboards as a reference? Maybe there's a list already, in which case would someone direct me to it?

Thanks to any and all for your help! 🤞

My suggestion would be to find a copy of Luis Rey's excellent "Led Zeppelin Tape Documentary" book. Although they're almost impossible to find these days. Hopefully he will put out a new edition someday. Another book of interest is "Evenings with Led Zeppelin" by Dave Lewis/Mike Tremaglio---a new edition is coming out this September.

Newman1998 I hear ya. That book by Luis Rey was amazing but it would be really out of date. It completely misses the tranche of tapes from EVSD, and others. The :Evenings" book, is more story as i recall it rather than boot info. Guess I gotta hunting and recheck.

Couple ideas none of them good.

1)Long Live Led Zeppelin a VERY long running Zep bootleg blog. There is some view of the new stuff, and the guy who runs it is a walking encylopedia.
2) Browse By Date to the best of knowledge a dead blog. The links are still active. This is a good source. The guy who ran it is the same guy who runs purplehippies.com
3) Your guess is as a good as mine. Been collecting for years, and i still get surprised. I find stuff all together too often that is done by people I do not know, on shows I did not know exist as SBD. I just keep my eyes on some of the better sites, and start to figure things out when I see something. Or at least further ruin my hearing when something new comes out.
4) Edge one of the MODS from this site, runs another T.U.B.E. that is an awesome source for everything.
