For Badgeholders Only

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For Badgeholders Only is a bootleg recording of a rock concert by English band Led Zeppelin, performed on June 23, 1977 at the Los Angeles Forum in Los Angeles, California, a show which came towards the end of the band's 1977 North American concert tour.

Like the better-known Listen to This Eddie this concert was recorded by a member of the audience, Mike Millard, and was later released illegally on vinyl and CD without the permission of the band.

The title For Badgeholders Only most likely comes from Robert Plant's numerous references to "Badgeholders" throughout the concert. For example, before performing "Trampled Under Foot", Plant asks "Is there anybody on the spotlights who could find us a badgeholder?"

The release is notable not only for the band's strong performance and superb sound quality recording, but also for the surprise guest, Keith Moon from The Who. Moon plays throughout the nearly 20 minute drum solo and returns later for the encores. There is another release of the show called "SGT Pages Badgeholder Club" with better sound and more complete.
