Recordings from 1972 are believed to have been lost

They were forgotten for nearly 50 years – now unseen shots of the Hand Zeppelin appeared. Photographer Lloyd Goodman recently rated his group and found a shot of Led Zeppelin’s performance on February 25, 1972 at Western Springs Stadium in Oakland. “I knew I had this movie roll in the shed, so I sent it away to digitize it. I knew there was a tape on it, but I didn’t know what it was. … it came back and there was a Zueblin movie,” he said, “Radio New Zealand“.

Although the material is loved according to age, the photographer was very happy to discover it, as it contains many close-ups of the musicians. He also explains that in the end there were only six recordings that the promoter chose and that have since disappeared. He added, “So finding this was really like finding gold.”

After some Goodman recordings were posted online, he was contacted by a US archive official. He told the cameraman he had audio recordings of the same show. This was followed by a five-minute YouTube clip.
