Taboo?!?!?! Surely you jest...

 The infamous Listen to This Eddie set is from June 21, 1977 LA Forum.

"Silvers" is a common way of referring to cd bootlegs that are genuine 
pressed cd's as opposed to dye based cdr recordings. Even though I 
haven't tried anything yet, but I've seen some "silver" cdr's on the market.

Seems like the latest trend is to sit back and wait for someone to put 
up a show on a bitorrent site. But of course, someone still has to fork 
out the dough in the first place to get at least one copy from a label!
Or so you would think... I still like to trade.

There are many sites that list all of the above. Most of the links for 
these can all be found on Buckeye's Best of Zeppelin on the Net page:

 Some of the more popular ones are of course UU, Bootledz, ALS.

FBO-ers Duncan Watson has even put together an absolutely fab access DB 
you can download on your PC/laptop/cuniform tablet that gives you all 
sorts of ways to cross references shows, titles, setlists, songs... I'm 
pretty sure he even has it up to date to even include the almost up to 
the latest solo stuff from each member. Sadly, he hasn't had to update 
JP or JPJ in awhile. : (

There are lots of torrents sites out there as well that you've probably 
seen mentioned in the past few days.
