This year has proven to be a good one if you're into live Top. A number of improved lineages of existing shows and several uncirculated concerts have made an appearance this year. Live ZZ is something of an enigma, there is a lot out there but it is much harder to find than say Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones.
Look for torrent cites online that only share unreleased live music. Don't download official recordings, support the bands. There are a lot of traders out there too.
Recently an uncirculated (to my knowledge anyway) recording of ZZ in Alpine Valley, Troy WI (09/03/1983) came out. It has renditions of both "I Need You Tonight" and "Fool For Your Stockings", two blockbuster blues tunes in the band's catalogue. I haven't yet had an opportunity to listen to it, but I will soon.
ZZ live can be very routine and predictable (especially in the post 1997 to today period). But there are a great number of shows where rarely played songs or extended jams take place. I'll try to hit on these unique shows as the blog progresses.
