1994 26 August On This Day Final recording session for Unledded Project for MTV

• 1966 The Yardbirds - San Leandro, CA at Rollarena
• 1967 The Yardbirds - Huntsville, Ontario, Canada at Hidden Valley Ski Resort
• 1970 Led Zeppelin - Cleveland, OH at Cleveland Public Auditorium

1994:

And then it was done. The practicing, the recording and filming outdoors in Wales and Morocco, and indoors with orchestras in front of an audience at the London Television Centre, was completed for the MTV Unledded telecast. The notion of "unplugged" had been given up in favor of "Unledded" and all that the name implied. 

And it was good.

Not a Communication Breakdown, hopefully, or even that I'm Dazed and Confused (or at least more than usual). That's The Way it is right now, is all. If you don't like it, I guess That's Nobody's Fault But Mine. 

You know, maybe one of these days I'll do a blog post that's entirely song titles - but not this time.
