Live on Blueberry Hill (also known as Blueberry Hill) is a bootleg recording of English rock group Led Zeppelin's performance at the Los Angeles Forum on September 4, 1970, which took place during their summer 1970 North American Tour.[1]

The audience recording is one of the first Led Zeppelin bootlegs, and one of the first ever rock and roll bootlegs. It was released on the Blimp label.[2] The album was reissued on the Trademark of Quality label and shipped to England. The album sold so many copies that many fans thought it was a legal release.[3] The sleeve notes describe it as "One hundred and six minutes and fifty three seconds of pure alive rock."[4]

Live on Blueberry Hill derives its name from Zeppelin's performance of Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill" as a final encore. The bootleg also features one of the few known live performances of "Out on the Tiles", from the group's third album,[3][4] plus "Bron-Yr-Aur", which would not be released officially until five years later, on Physical Graffiti.

From the 1980s the bootleg became available on CD as a two-disc set, often under the titles Blueberry Hill and The Final Statements.[3]

Led Zeppelin parody cover band Dread Zeppelin released an album in 1995 entitled Live on Blueberry Cheesecake – a play on the title of this bootleg release.

"I actually prefer …Blueberry Hill to [pioneering Zeppelin bootleg] Pb," remarked photographer (and Jimmy Page's friend) Ross Halfin, "even though it isn't such good sound quality, but because it includes the whole show."[5]

In 2017, the Empress Valley bootleg label released the nine-CD, Live On Blueberry Hill: The Complete 1970 L.A. Forum Tapes, which includes five different source recordings of the concert.
