A weird Zebra show as it's mostly Led Zeppelin covers, plus covers by Rush, Montrose, and The Moody Blues, and only four originals. I assume this is a Led Zeppelin tribute show.

Someone (I assume Randy Jackson) mentions The Hatter.

The setlist.fm entry says it's 1980-02-02:
https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/zebra/1980/madhatter-new-york-ny-63fbcabb.html
But the e-tree entry that is referenced has no date:
http://db.etree.org/lookup_show.php?shows_key=393721
Note that someone (again, I assume Randy Jackson) mentions people from Suffolk in the audience gave him something for his birthday. Randy's birthday is 28th of February. It doesn't have to be the day of his birthday but I assume it was at least close, so February or March would be very likely. During the introduction to Don't Walk Away he dedicates it to someone named Karen for her 21st birthday.

The original poster claims this was a soundboard file but I doubt that very much. It sounds more like a good audience or FM recording. Still a nice show and what a storming rendition of Immigrant Song!

There are hardly any introductions between the songs. I can't tell if that was how it was played or that someone edited those out. I hear a few drop-outs that could have been edited out, though. This is how I got the files, I didn't change anything. I doubt I will hold on to it as it's not really a Zebra show.

Enjoy!

Tape flip in the beginning of Immigrant Song. I used Cool Edit to make it as seemless as possible.
