Show

 * Name
 * John Peel's Sunday Show


 * Station
 * BBC Radio One


 * YYYY-MM-DD
 * 1971-04-01


 * Comments
 * The one-hour programme was devoted to the Led Zeppelin live set, which was officially released as the second CD of the band's BBC Sessions compilation. Tracklisting below is taken from the CD, although the final track on the album ('Thank You') was not broadcast. According to Wikipedia (see above link for album), the band's performance also included versions of 'Communication Breakdown' and 'What Is And What Should Never Be', although their respective positions in the set are not known.
 * As noted by Ken Garner in The Peel Sessions (pg. 71), the available recording shows the audience to be unfamiliar with 'Stairway To Heaven', which the band had only started performing live the previous month. The song, released seven months later on the band's fourth album, would take top spot in the inaugural 1976 Festive Fifty.
 * The official release includes a short introduction from Peel: "This is something we've waited for a long time on this show, and I know it is all going to be well worth the wait. So would you welcome please, Led Zeppelin!"
