I have a few you can buy off me... if the price is right!

The ones I can remember are:

Ticket to Heaven (Basel 92, my first ever bootleg  :) )
Swinging Golden Hearts (Most of one of the Albert Hall concerts from 96, plus some tracks from ANIL)
Boston 79
Australian Dream (the famous last show of the BiA tour, though not a very good sounding version. Comes in a big white cardboard case thing)

Let me know if you don't have any of these!

oh, a big "gray area" that really upsets the "old school" tapers (1970s/80s) and of course the band too...

(Yea, I know that was the only method to obtain these recordings back in the day though.)

It really is amazing how much better things are now. Back in the day, the only way I could get these bootlegs was from the "record fairs" that they held in Aberdeen a couple of times a year.

Even then I had to trawl boxes for the handful of DS releases, while there were massive amounts of Dylan/Floyd/Springsteen etc.

And the prices were ridiculous, the Ticket to Heaven 2CD set cost me

I captured a few on ebay before even silvers were banned.   They are pretty special in my collection.   I missed a couple back in the early days, for which I could give myself a swift kick. ::)

So I guess none of you know where to purchase them? I mean online stores, as its a bit difficult to travel around the world chasing bootlegs  ;)

...in that case, start with Japan- Akihabara area. You might find Jimmy Page there too though...

Jimmy Page actually went to court in Scotland to give evidence against a guy who was selling bootlegs, funny stuff.  :)
