Led Zeppelin BBC Rock Hour (Playhouse Theatre London, June 1969)
The June 27th, 1969 In Concert appearance has had releases dating back to the Neolithic era. On vinyl it was released well over a dozen times with the better titles being Complete BBC Performances on Toasted, Dazed And Confused on Royal Sound (RS009), Hot London (Kolne), and Four Symbols (Accord). The version on Accord was reissued this twice.  White Summer (TSPCD019) on The Swingin’ Pig, How Many More Times (QCP 69008) on the Korean Quality label, and Classics Off The Air Vol. 2 (NZCD 005) on Neutral Zone are among the earliest compact disc releases. About the time Antrabata released Rock Hour, which was copied onto BBC 69 (BBC Transcription Series), the complete broadcast with interview and the Liverpool Scene sketch became the norm.

Several months ago Empress Valley released a great version on disc two of their four disc Complete British Broadcasting Corporation Radio Sessions. This new release on Bumble Bee is in similar excellent quality. It isn’t as loud as the Empress Valley. However, older releases have a fifteen second cut in “White Summer” at 2:53 into the track, but BBC Rock Hour does not have the cut making it the most complete and as close to definitive as possible.

Alan Black introduces the format which gives the band an opportunity to give a true statement about their music with “complete creative freedom and a chance to communicate”. Ironically the first song is “Communication Breakdown”, the normal encore. This version includes Page playing a funk riff over which Plant sings “I wanna do little mama babe yeah but I don’t seem to mind / I can’t stop the feelin’, baby mama, I’m givin’ you a ride” before quoting from the Isley Brothers “It’s Your Thing”. The song segues perfectly into “I Can’t Quit You Babe”.

The interview following this song is conducted by the host with Plant and Page, speaking about the popularity of underground groups like them and Jethro Tull. At the end Black encourages the band to play one of their longer numbers. John Paul Jones can be heard in the background replying “Oh really?” and Page, for some reason, says “Jim Morrison?” before Plant says, “when we finish that, we’ll be well out of breath”.

What follows is an excellent eleven and a half minute version of the piece. The late Adrian Henri, Andy Roberts and Mike Evans of the band The Liverpool Scene who released their first album Incredible New Liverpool Scene on CBS in 1967 and broke up in 1970 perform the following sketch. They were a band that wove together music, poetry and satirical humor. This faux commercial is done for the “next great war” in which they advertise PAD meat (Prolongs Active Death), BOMB (the international passport for smoking ruins), and FALLOUT.

The mc introduces Jimmy Page to play “White Summer/Black Mountain Side”, one of the most perfect versions on tape. “You Shook Me” is a rare version which has John Paul Jones playing the Hammond organ. The opening notes are still much louder than the rest of the track, probably due to the engineer not expecting the loud volume. The finale “How Many More Times” lasts for thirteen minutes and includes snippets of “Smokestack Lightening” before the first verse. This recording is one of the best sounding and played of the early Led Zeppelin which accounts for all of the editions available.

June 27, 1969 - London, UK - Playhouse Theatre
What you will read is only the personal judgment of the writer. But led Zeppelins' 1969 tour is one of their best. A live band that was noisy, maybe too loud. In 1969, however, the band gave a lot of space to improvisation, almost as if it were a preparation for Led Zeppelin II which would be released in a few months; a calibrated, perfect, file-worked job. The blues was still the fundamental element around which the whole sound of the band revolved. This bootleg is highly recommended. It circulated for years before being published in the BBC Sessions. The audio quality is excellent and the band was in top shape. Few other bands have been able to revolutionize the blues in this way. A band that made school. And this is further proof of this, if there was a need for it. 

 Led Zeppelin had many appearances on the BBC during their first year of existence. This one has always stood out from the others because it is the only one to be taped in front of a live audience. They sound very raw and it captures the excitement of their early live show. Up until June they were finding ways of expanding their sets to ninety minutes to two hours long, but the summer was filled with appearances at festivals beginning the following day at the Bath Festival on June 28th. This gives a glimpse into their stripped down, hour long festival set.

Communication Breakdown (incl. It's Your Thing), I Can't Quit You Baby, Page & Plant interview, Dazed and Confused, White Summer / Black Mountainside, You Shook Me, How Many More Times (incl. "Lemon Song"). Studio - Playhouse Theatre, Northumberland Avenue BBC live session for "Radio One In Concert". Released on the BBC Sessions cd in 1997. Producer - Jeff Griffin; Engineer - Tony Wilson https://www.ledzeppelin.com/show/june-27-1969

Ed Sullivan Theater, New York (NY), 17th September 1967
50 years ago on September 17, 1967, Jim Morrison​ solidified his place as a poetic rebel. Things did not go as smoothly as the producers may have hoped. Fronted by their charismatic-but-unpredictable singer Jim Morrison, the group had recently scored its first No. 1 hit with "Light My Fire," and Sullivan's show -- which had made instant superstars of Elvis Presley and the Beatles -- was a choice booking. But the Doors' performance that night would live on in a very different way, resulting in the group being banned from the show in perpetuity.

According to the official Ed Sullivan Show website, rehearsals for the show went well, and with 15 minutes to air time, Sullivan went to see the band in their dressing room, telling them, "You boys look great, [but] you ought to smile a little more." Shortly after, a producer from the show came by to inform the band that they needed to change the line "Girl, we couldn't get much higher" to "Girl, we couldn't get much better" when performing "Light My Fire," ostensibly because the line might be construed as referring to drugs.

Band members have given varying accounts of whether they ever agreed to change the line or not, but there's no denying what happened live on the air. After a strong, but unremarkable performance of "People Are Strange," the band launched into "Light My Fire," and as the video shows, Jim Morrison sang the original lyric instead of making the suggested change.
After the show, producers said they had hoped to book them six more times, but had decided instead to ban the Doors from the show in the future. TheDoors would go on to other television appearances, and a career that encompassed hit albums like Strange Days and L.A. Woman, but they never played Sullivan's show again.

As Robby Krieger​ explains, “We thought they were joking – who were they kidding? Wanting us to change the lyrics on the number one song in America? We decided to just do the song as-is and maybe they would forget all about it. What could they do? After all, it was live television! So, yeah, we never played the Ed Sullivan show again. But we didn’t care.”
John Densmore​ added that Ed fumed, “’You will never do this show again,’ after we’d directly disobeyed his censorship requirements. Jim turned to him and remarked, ‘Hey, that’s okay – we just did the Ed Sullivan show.’” And the rest is Rock N Roll history.

The show is re-broadcast on July 7, 1968 and clips can be seen throughout various modern video compilations. Original 16mm prints tend to feature unedited performances with quality sound. Also performing on this show are comedians Rodney Dangerfield and Flip Wilson, with musical performances by Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme, Yul Brynner, and The Kessler Twins. This appearance on Ed Sullivan has never seen a complete and uncut official release.

Jonathan Winters Show, CBS TV Studios, Los Angeles (CA), 27th December 1967
This show originally airs on CBS in New York and San Francisco at 10:00pm on December 27th, 1967. This is the national premiere of The Jonathan Winters Show, and is the band's last U.S. television performance for a year. This special features a performance of Moonlight Drive accompanied by Horse Latitudes for an introduction, and Light My Fire. Due to the incident in New Haven five days after the taping of this show, a network cancels The Doors next appearance, and they do not appear on television again until September while on tour in Europe.

During the broadcast of this show on December 27th, The Doors interrupt their live performance at Winterland in San Francisco to watch themselves on a TV brought out onto the stage. The complete episode exists in broadcast quality in CBS' archives as well as on a black and white kinescope. The performance of Moonlight Drive was released on the video Dance on Fire with the original audio replaced with the studio version and additional unrelated footage added in.

The Smothers Brothers, CBS Television City, Los Angeles (CA), 4th December 1968
In December of 1968, the Doors make an appearance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Of all the television shows that The Doors appeared on, this may have been the one the band was looking forward to most. This was due to the fact that the Smothers Brothers were politically very active, especially in their stance against the Vietnam War and their support for the “anti-establishment” youth movement. They were not afraid to use their television monologues to challenge people’s thinking, and The Doors loved that! For this appearance, The Doors would play live versions of “Wild Child” and “Touch Me”.

“Touch Me” featured an orchestra section and Curtis Amy on saxophone. Two additional notes from this performanIn December of 1968, the Doors make an appearance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

The Doors rehearse the Smother Brothers Comedy Hour television performance on the 5th of December, and record on the 6th. Filmed in color, the band performs Wild Child and Touch Me featuring Curtis Amy and the Smothers Brothers Orchestra. Robby is sporting a black eye during the filming, and Tom O'Neal is on site photographing the rehearsals and recording session. Broadcast on December 15th, George Carlin and The Committee are also guests on this episode. CBS cancelled this show on June 8th, 1969.

Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood (CA), 5th July 1968
Live at the Hollywood Bowl is the third official live album by the American rock band the Doors, released in May 1987 on Elektra Records. The concert was recorded on July 5, 1968, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, the Doors' hometown. The 1987 LP release of this album is the Doors' shortest official release, at just 22 minutes and 19 seconds. A VHS video of the concert was also released containing 14 songs.

The full version of the concert entitled Live at the Bowl '68 was released in October 2012 on CD, LP and Blu-ray Disc. A shortened version of the concert is on The Doors - 30 Years Commemorative Edition DVD.The entire concert was recorded using several cameras and is one of only two professionally recorded live performances of the band in color (the other being Live at The Isle of Wight Festival 1970). The Doors long-time sound engineer Bruce Botnick recorded the concert direct from the soundboard onto an 8-track machine. The recording of The End was used in film project Feast of Friends which was not released until November 2014.

Initial sound problem's with Morrison's microphone made the first songs - "Hello, I Love You", "The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)" and "Spanish Caravan" somewhat distorted. This was digitally rectified for the 2012 release by Bruce Botnick. The 2012 DVD also made use of different cameras used at the concert from that released on video in 1987.

The Ed Sullivan Show
Between 1964 and 1969, the Rolling Stones stopped by the iconic Ed Sullivan Show six times. The first time the Stones played the variety show was October 25, 1964, when they delivered "Time Is on My Side." They followed up that appearance in May 2, 1965, to perform "The Last Time," "Little Red Rooster," "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" and, over the end credits, "2120 South Michigan Avenue."

Starting in 1966, the Stones' Sullivan stopovers were broadcast in colour. Those appearances were originally broadcast on February 13, 1966 ("(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "As Tears Go By," "19th Nervous Breakdown"); September 11,1966 ("Paint It, Black," "Lady Jane," "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadows?"); January 15, 1967 ("Ruby Tuesday" and a reworded "Let's Spend the Night Together" titled "Let's Spend Some Time Together"); November 23, 1969 ("Gimme Shelter," "Love in Vain" and "Honky Tonk Woman").

The abridged version features the shows from 1965 to 1967. The Rolling Stones last appearance on the program in 1969 was their first without founding guitarist Brian Jones, who had died a few months earlier. He was replaced by six-stringer Mick Taylor.

When The Rolling Stones Debuted On The Ed Sullivan Show
In the summer of 1964, The Rolling Stones had been gaining momentum in the UK with their hard driving, blues sound and had cultivated a devoted following among the new youth-oriented scene known as “Swinging London.”  With their popularity growing in their home country, The Stones set off across the Atlantic to embark on a US tour. Upon their arrival, it seemed word about the band hadn’t made it out of London yet and as Stones bassist Bill Wyman put it, “[It was] a disaster. When we arrived, we didn’t have a hit record or anything going for us.”

However just a few months later, following the release of their second US album “12 X 5,” record sales for the band started to pick up and their single “Time Is On My Side” reached #6 on the US charts. With their popularity starting to grow in the United States, The Rolling Stones took a page from the Beatles book and were scheduled on The Ed Sullivan Show.  The Stones’ manager responsible for the booking, Andrew Loog Oldham, had previously worked as a publicist for The Beatles and understood the power of The Ed Sullivan Show and the impact the band’s appearance would have on record sales.

On the evening of October 25, 1964, Mick, Keith, Brian, Bill and Charlie awaited their time backstage, taking in some of the eclectic performances that made up a Sullivan variety hour, including the husband wife comedy duo of Stiller and Meara and a sensational nineteen year old Israeli violinist named Itzhak Perlman.  Then, about halfway through the show Ed Sullivan introduced The Rolling Stones to an audience of raucous, screaming fans.   As the curtain lifted, the shaggy-haired band mates stepped into their places and dove right into the Chuck Berry blues classic, “Around & Around.” A young Mick Jagger, flanked by the innocent looking pair of Keith Richards and Brian Jones, did his best to sing over screams from the audience as he wriggled around the stage.  Right as the song ended, the curtain dropped over the band to the dismay of all of the teenage girls watching in living rooms across the nation.

As Ed went on to introduce the next act, the shrieks for The Rolling Stones wouldn’t subside.  The host grew impatient and appeared like an angry father as he demanded the audience to “Quiet!” multiple times. According to Mick, “Ed told us that it was the wildest, most enthusiastic audience he’d seen any artiste get in the history of his show. We got a message from him a few days later, saying, ‘Received hundreds of letters from parents complaining about you, but thousands from teenagers saying how much they enjoyed your performance.'”The audience eventually complied and then tried to remain on their best behavior as they awaited the Stones return through the acts of The Kim Sisters and the acrobatic Berosini family.

The Rolling Stones were back to close the evening’s show with their hit, “Time Is on My Side.” The boys ran right to their spots on stage and rumbled through the hit song as Mick knowingly drove the audience wild with engaging looks.  He seemed to be coming of age in front of the audience’s eyes, fully understanding the power this platform could give him.  At the end of the performance, Ed made the mistake of encouraging the audience saying, “Come on, let them hear it!” The young crowd accepted the host’s challenge and ended up screaming so loud that Ed’s short conversation with Mick Jagger was completely inaudible.

That evening’s show brought The Rolling Stones national attention – both good and bad.  The appearance helped generate over a million dollars in ticket sales for the band’s fall concert tour, but also brought the ire of conservative adults who didn’t care for the band’s unkempt appearance.  One of the many Western Union telegrams received by the show the following week read, “Should be ashamed of yourself putting on such trash as The Rolling Stones. A Disappointed Viewer” One thing was for sure – The Rolling Stones had finally captured the attention of the American audience.

Despite the controversy, The Rolling Stones returned to Sullivan stage the following spring and eventually went on to make 6 epic appearances on the show throughout the end of the decade.   These appearances showcased many of the band’s best-known hits including “Satisfaction,” “Gimme Shelter,” “Paint It, Black,” “Let’s Spend The Night (Some Time) Together,” “Time Is On My Side,” “Honky Tonk Women,” and countless others.

Now for the first time in history, you can own all of these Stones’ performances and the full Sullivan episodes the band appeared on, with the November 1st release of the collector’s edition The Ed Sullivan Show Starring The Rolling Stones.  The DVD collection also features never before seen rare documents and photos.

OIL WELL RSC CD - PROJECT

Many times collecting appears to be strongly linked to a need for knowledge, for a deepening of a particular group, other times instead it is limited to being a sterile "possessing", setting aside without ever listening, without comparing, buying maybe the same product several times. This blog has a different purpose instead. Not so much to inform the reader about all the outputs of the Oil Well label (you can use Discogs for this) but to know through researches, more sources and official publications the material published by it. In fact many times listening, as well as reading something, if released from its context, appears completely meaningless or at least less interesting.

Surely what unites the great collectors of the old generation is the prevailing will of a cultural end, “certainly characterized by personal ambitions, but not by directly economic interests. Some might define this work as anthropological and perhaps it would not be wrong. But the goal is only , to share the fruit of years of passion and research with the rest of the users.

More than six years have passed since I decided to really collect and reconstruct the history of this label: looking for information, mp3s, different sources, photographs and scans. After all, behind this work there is a great passion but also something purely affective. Cream's Stepping Out was my first album, one of the first works that I listened to as a child. Already at the time I was fantasizing about reading the titles of the other releases of the label. Years later I continue to listen to that record struck by the beauty of those performances and the charm of that music - with the same intensity of the first days. Now the work is complete and I am very proud of it.
Good surfing and good listening!

The bootleg CDs have appeared on the market since the end of the 80s, produced especially in Italy and Germany, whose legislation allowed to freely print live recordings making hypothetical payments of royalties to favor of the artists. This situation has contributed to the birth of dozens of labels operating in this sector, with sometimes amazing results: rare etchings of excellent quality, combined with very rich booklets, more accurate than many official editions. But the market has also ended up with bad quality CDs, lacking the minimum accompanying note.

In the mid-1990s, as a result of pressure from other nations such as the United States and Great Britain, copyright laws were amended to block these "legal" bootlegs. The production of actual bootlegs began, especially in Italy and Japan, very expensive and difficult to find. The proliferation of burned CDs has created a great deal of confusion and has often been misled and it is no longer so easy to recognize one another. In recent years, the production of bootlegs with new recordings seems to be falling  while always very strong is the piracy itself that makes illegal copies of regular CDs, almost always recordable CDs.

Oil Well was an italian unofficial record label that published between 1993 and 1995 a series of audience and broadcast recordings. Some of its publications are clones, copies of other bootlegs of the period. Bob Dylan's The Genuine Basement Tapes;  The Doors' Complete Matrix Club Tapes;  The Rolling Stones' Philadelphia Special I and II are just some examples.

In some cases, the quality of the selected recordings is very high often as regards the audio quality to witness a careful selection by the label. These bootlegs often offer an excellent image of the various bands - in some cases better than the official material of the time. It is not a case that many of its bootlegs have been released officially in different moments: Ladies And Gentlemen The Grateful Dead, Cream’s BBC Sessions; Pink Floyd’s The Early Years 1965-1972, Led Zeppelin’s BBC Sessions and Jimi Hendrix’s Experience’s – Electric Ladyland 50th Edition.

Very often, as with unofficial publications, the associated dates are incorrect. Here we tried to report the correct recording date and the correct location for each bootleg-concert all inserted in the information file attached to each album with, where possibile, a different and complete audio source – official or not. Using only Google drive links you will be free to select and decide what to download: if only the bootleg or also the different source we have shared.

As said there are numerous publications in common with The Swingin 'Pig Label. "Oil Well" company bought out "Swingin' Pig Records". In particular some Pink Floyd's bootlegs appeared under the "Oil Well" label but some of them were in fact digital copies of old "Swingin' Pig". Some examples: "Echoes" is a reissue of "One Of These Days", "Green Is The Colour" is a reissue of "Amsterdam 69", "Black Wizard" and "White Witch" are a reissue of "Live In Montreux". Other albums are in common with Oh Boy label and with Fabbri Editori’s series "I Miti del Rock Live" (another interesting project released in Italy and Spain simultaneously) here published with a different name and different artwork.

Some bootlegs are very rare and have been published with an alternate coloured cover (The Doors Touch Me;  Pink Floyd - Green is the colour;  The Beatles - Get Back; Jethro Tull - Back to the family;  Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile; Lou Reed - Streets of Berlin; Otis Redding  - Try a Little Tenderness; Pink Floyd – Echoes; Rod Stewart & The Faces – Maggie Mae; The Who – Pinball Wizard) and some (1 to 15, 17 to 20, 30, 35 to 39, 42, 43, 46, 47) have been published with  an OBI - a piece of paper  wrapped around the spine of Japanese CDs. 

Many publications of the label appear to be unknown. In any case, our project starts with Rolling Stones’s As Tears Go By (RSC CD 001) and ends with Eagles & Little Feat – Sailin’ Shoes (RSC CD 149).
