Now as for the show, the excitement from the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary show across the Hudson River shifted to the first of two sold out New York area shows on the Jersey side at Brendan Byrne Arena. The hype was huge. Even though Robert played with his band at the Atlantic Records show earlier in the evening before Zep took the stage, he only did three songs from the new album Now and Zen, Heaven Knows (which was the single on the radio), Ship of Fools and Tall Cool One, all of those songs would become radio singles. Now it was the moment where he would be doing Zep songs and play the NY/NJ area for the first time officially on this Non Stop Go tour. I thought I was the only one in the building filming as no one else was really filming in the NY area (I thought). Well, as it turns out, when I was contacting the guy who was selling the Van Halen, Scorpions, and Metallica shows on eBay that were Grey’s tapes, and had posted on DIME an Albert King or BB King show in May 1988 from a club in NJ, and a Stevie Ray Vaughan show from the Meadowlands Arena 5-17-88. So I asked the guy if he had any other shows and he said he had the corresponding Robert Plant Meadowlands 5-17-88 show. Not just one master tape, but 2 and each one was the complete show. I was like, ‘what?!!’ Turns out, on the notes Grey wrote on the paper insert to the tapes, which was always somewhat detailed on each of the tapes, he stated that he lent his point and shoot camera to a friend Bill to film the show also and that was the other tape. Bill filmed from like a 45 degree angle from the rear of the stage in the back turn corner on the 2st level. There was no zoom on his camera, but it adds a unique view to the mix. Grey mentions on the insert that he is giving one song of SRV to his friend Bill for recording the Plant show for him and that this will be the first time he gives anything he filmed to anyone. One song. So from this fact, I am assuming all these tapes were taken from Grey. They are all from May-June in 1988…the King show, the SRV and Plants, the VH/Scorps/Metallica all from then. Like a block was taken from that time period. Either way, I bought the Plant tapes for $100 apiece along with the VH and Scopions tapes. Grey ended up moving a couple times as he filmed because he probably had problems with the seat he had. He ended up on the left side and I was on the right side. So my intent was to have these angles mixed into a multicam. So now, I told you all before that the Van Halen & Scorpions June 1988 Monsters of Rock shows were the oldest known multicam mixes that would exist of multiple cams filming the same show, made 25 years later, but this show is a month before the VH and Scorps shows. So this Robert Plant show would be the oldest known private mix (as of now…hint hint). Enjoy Robert's first NY area gig from the Non Stop Go Tour!
