Live on Blueberry Hill (also known as Blueberry Hill) is a bootleg recording of the English rock group Led Zeppelin's performance at the Los Angeles Forum on September 4, 1970, which took place during their summer 1970 North American Tour.[2]
The audience recording is one of the first Led Zeppelin bootlegs, and one of the first rock and roll bootlegs ever released. It was released on the Blimp label.[3] The album was subsequently pressed on the Trade Mark of Quality label and shipped to England. The album sold so many copies that many fans thought it was a legal record.[4] The sleeve notes described it as "One hundred and six minutes and fifty three seconds of pure alive rock."[5]
Live on Blueberry Hill derived its name from the fact that Led Zeppelin performed Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill" as a final encore. The bootleg also features one of the few known live performances of "Out on the Tiles", a track from the group's third album.[4][5] It also features "Bron-Yr-Aur", a song that would not be released officially until five years later, on Physical Graffiti.
From the 1980s the bootleg became available on CD as a 2-disc set, often under the alternative titles Blueberry Hill and The Final Statements.[4]
Led Zeppelin parody cover band Dread Zeppelin released an album in 1995 entitled Live on Blueberry Cheesecake as a play on words of this bootleg release.
