Question
I was seeing the dvd and I enjoyed those two songs that they played so where can I find the entire show (especcialy the professional recorded version if possible) online, and also at which time of the day did the concert start and finish and also to which crowd did they play there?
Answer
Yes, it was a great performance, but to date, all that had ever been available were fragments of "Let's Have a Party", "Whole Lotta Love", "Immigrant Song" and "Rock and Roll". These were clips filmed by local Australian news media, with only two cameras. Don't plan on seeing the entire show - Peter Grant made sure that those cameras weren't going to film an entire concert.
You won't find professional recordings of the complete show, period. Jimmy Page might have a home-brew soundboard recording in his archives, but for now, nope. There are more lengthy recordings of the show, made from the audience, such as that from http://yearofledzeppelin.blogspot.com/2008/04/day-99-2271972-sydney-australia.ht... but I don't much follow where to download such things except from perhaps tapecity.org.
They started around 3pm, played for slightly over 2 hours, thus ending after 5pm. The formally tabulated audience attendance for the Sydney Showground concert was of 28,000, but according to various informal accounts from the NSW, it may have been more. There are additional show details at http://www.nsw.nationaltrust.org.au/properties/gallery/exhibitions/ledzeppelin/d...
