Destroyer (Led Zeppelin bootleg recording)

Destroyer is a bootleg recording from the English rock group Led Zeppelin’s performance at Richfield Coliseum, Cleveland, Ohio, on 27 April 1977.

The soundboard recording is from the first show of two nights at the venue, which were part of the band’s 1977 North American Tour.

Initial vinyl pressings of the bootleg incorrectly credited Seattle, Washington, as the location of this show.

The later three-CD sets fixed these errors, and eventually versions remastered from lower-generation source tapes surfaced.

Though marred by poorer sound quality, and incomplete as a result of using 60-minute (instead of the longer 90-minute) cassette tapes for the recording, many critics consider this second performance better than the more famous first Destroyer gig.
