Introduction

Hello and welcome to my site/blog. My name is Pieter and i live in Germany and Holland. I work as a buyer in a very large cd/multimedia store. My site started as a link to present my trading list instead of sending people a Word document. I was getting really inspired by all the great sites that are out there. I will mainly focus on bootlegs as there are many equally great sites concerning all the latest news, mainly TBL .

This site is for informational/entertainment purpose only. These are my favourite Led Zeppelin concerts/bootlegs. Nothing is for sale,see my tradelist for more info.

I got infected with Led Zeppelin by a very good friend of mine (Ridder Maert,you're to blame !) who had the Remasters 2cd set. Bought all the legal material and where do you go next ? The wonderful, but sometimes frustrating world of collecting live shows. A few years back i started trading, first for B&P and when i got a burner it was getting a little bit out of hand, see trading page for result. When cash flow allowed (and sometimes not) i also purchased original silvers at record fairs or in Japan. I've mellowed down a bit in trading, because as i said, it was getting a bit out of hand. On the other hand, downloading increased a lot !!!

Little post script (Januari 2007), since the start of my site a lot has happened. Made some incredibly good friends and also found out a few times that the hardcore lowgen Zeppelin world is in some cases a shady one, best to be avoided at all times. Good things come to those who wait and if they don't come i won't lose sleep over it.

Further musical interests are Soundgarden, Johnny Cash, Opeth and The Black Crowes to name a few.

So, i hope you like my site and if you do and are inspired to grab a live show because of it it's mission accomplished for me !

All the best and take care,
Pieter
