Lossless Album - CD Box Set

Recorded: May 31st 1973 Inglewood, California, LA Forum
“Bonzo’s Birthday Matrix” – A combination of:
Bonzo’s Birthday Party Definitive Edition [EVSD]
Bonzo’s Birthday Party [Cobla]
and Bonzo’s Birthday Party [TDOLZ]

Robert Plant himself calls this show “magic” and it is given how loose everyone is and in the mood to party. Jimmy Page hurt his finger several days before when they were throwing beer bottles out of the hotel window (so the story goes) and the first LA date on May 30th was canceled. His injured finger is noticeable with some bum notes in “Rock And Roll” and especially “Celebration Day”, but with “Black Dog” he hits his stride.
“Is everybody sufficiently in the state of mind to have a good time?” Plant asks afterwards, and when they finish “Over The Hills And Far Away” suggests the name of the recording and says he had known Bonzo for fifteen years “and he’s been a regular bastard.”
