John Bonham's brother Mick recalled the night in his book 'My Brother John':
"I mused on the thought of putting a heavy rock band on stage in a venue such as Trentham Gardens. Set in 1000 acres of woodlands and beautiful gardens... John kick-started the kit into life, making it sound like a pneumatic hammer pounding the snare. The audience knew it was time to rock and Jacko (father) and I stood proudly watching as the boys yet again gave their all in a show that moulded talent with sheer magic."
First, the sound here is exceptional. Secondly, even though the entire band is playing incredibly well, Bonham is amazing, using different and unique fills and playing in every song. Black Dog receibed very confusing introduction from the side of Plant: "This is a song about a Labrador that used to come with when we went shooting people ... we don't shot animals!" Whole Lotta Love includes Hendrix's Voodoo Chile and contains some really different playing, singing, and drumming, making it one of the best! Overall, even though Robert's voice is still recovering from the flu, this show is wonderful and relaxed, and the band makes some great music here.
Plant continues to grow more comfortable with his new vocal dynamics with every show. He introduces Misty Mountain Hop as "a song about what happens if you walk through the park and there's a load of hairies sittin' in a circle" before adding "dedicated to rizzlers." The band is extremely tight and professional tonight. Bonzo continues to assert himself as an outstanding performer. Since I've Been Loving You starts out beautifully calm and restrained, slowly building toward the powerful climax. An excellent performance.
Page plays a bit of That's the Way during the instrumental breakdown in Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. Bonzo is absolutely on fire during The Song Remains the Same. Unfortunately, there is a cut in the tape just before the transition to The Rain Song. Bonzo transforms the lead-in to the bow solo during Dazed and Confused into a frantic shuffle. The San Francisco interlude is like a thunderous earthquake. Page shreds through the guitar solos with amazing precision. As the song ends, Plant comments "well that wasn't a bad twenty minutes, was it?"
Stairway to Heaven is introduced as "something that came in a moment of clear white light." There is a cut in the tape during the final line. Page plays a bit of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) during a funky jam prior to the theramin freakout. There are some tape disturbances during the Everybody Needs Somebody to Love section. The medley includes Boogie Chillen', an excellent rendition of Elvis Presley's (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care, and Let's Have a Party, omitting the usual blues numbers.
