6/18/1980 Cologne, Germany Live OmegaTrain Kept a Rollin', Nobody's Fault But Mine, Black Dog, In the Evening, The Rain Song, Hot Dog, All My Love, Trampled Underfoot, Since I've Been Loving You, Achilles Last Stand, White Summer/Black Mountain Side, Kashmir, Stairway to Heaven, Rock and Roll, Communication Breakdown
The tape begins with a brief soundcheck as Plant greets the crowd with a gravelly "good evenin'!" Train Kept a Rollin' is a chaotic explosion of energy. Page's fingers are like razor blades as he slashes and shreds through the guitar solo. Black Dog is once again introduced as "schwarzhund" by a suddenly talkative Page. The band gets a bit lost at times during Trampled Underfoot, unsure of the changes. Page shreds wildly through an erratic guitar solo. Since I've Been Loving You is a mess. Page's playing is sloppy and out of tune throughout. The crowd can be heard chanting "Rock and Roll!" as the song comes to a close. The band hammers through an urgent Kashmir. Bonzo pummels the crowd with his thunderous fills. As the song ends, Plant jokes "there's quite a lot to be said for dinosaurs." The band races through a riotous Rock and Roll before closing the show with a violently aggressive Communication Breakdown, played at lightning speed. An explosive finale to a somewhat lackluster performance.
The tape is a matrix of another bare bones soundboard recording and a noisy audience source.
