Back cover of "Boogie Mama" version, previous release.

"I was in the first 10 rows -- that is, from about the middle of "Immigrant Song." When that song started, I was in the 83rd row. "

"When I made the cassette-to-reel transfer, I had the daft idea of trying to simulate the spatial effects I heard at the concert during some of Page's solos, and during the Page/Plant call and response sections. I know -- hey, I was 16, and this wasn't for general consumption."

"In 1972, some moron at a party erased a few seconds of the solo in Heartbreaker."
