The first bootleg I heard was Mudslide, which a friend picked up and 
played for me. The first boot, I actually bought was a 2-LP white 
covered release from the May 24, Earls Court gig. This was followed by 
the black-covered, white Zoso Copenhagen Warm-ups Second night set.

Your mention of radio recordings brought a warm memory of a radio show I 
taped with my dinky little mono cassette recorder in high school. It was 
some sort of radio special covering Led Zeppelin and featured all their 
studio recordings to that point (just after TSRTS was released so no 
ITTOD stuff). This was before I owned any of their albums besides TSRTS, 
so it was the first time I heard songs like Heartbreaker, Over the 
Hills, Since, Nobody's Fault. They even started with the Yardbirds' For 
Your Love which seemed a cool intro with those stark, dark chords. It 
definitely fit with Zeppelin. I think I still have the cassette around 
here somewhere.
