3/19/1969 London, England The Complete BBC Radio SessionsI Can't Quit You Baby, You Shook Me, Sunshine Woman
The band's second BBC appearance starts with an introduction by Alexis Korner. Plant's low voice develops into a growl during I Can't Quit You Baby. The songs are separated by more talk from Korner. You Shook Me is followed by the oddity Sunshine Woman, featuring Jones on piano.
The tape is a noisy, slightly muffled recording of a radio broadcast.

*- the version of What is and What Should Never Be commonly included with this tape is actually from the band's third BBC appearance on 6/16/1969.

ReplyDeleteA bit uneven recording, dropping in and out a bit, but enjoyable anyway. Though the first album just came out a few months earlier, the show starts with a song that will be on the second album, What Is and What Should Never Be, in a form that is very similar to the final album version. They then do I Can't Quit You Baby and You Shook me that are from the first album, then wrap up with Sunshine Woman. A fairly subdue performance, a bit hissy, but enjoyable.
