• Live FM broadcast recording from San Jose Arena, May 20th, 1995
  
  

⚠️ Note: This is an unofficial release.

Jimmy Page recorded this material during a 1995 FM broadcast at San Jose Arena in California, capturing a moment in the guitarist's solo career trajectory. Following his extensive work with Led Zeppelin and subsequent collaborations, Page's 1990s output found him revisiting and reinterpreting material from across his catalog. Going To California Vol 1 stands as a live document of these revisitations, offering insight into how Page approached his own compositions and influences in a mid-90s concert setting.

The setlist moves through essential Page repertoire with "Intro" setting the stage before diving into "Thank You" and "Bring It On Home," both numbers that allowed Page to stretch his playing across extended arrangements. "Ramble On" and "Shake My Tree" follow, each providing distinct textural and rhythmic territory. The FM broadcast capture preserves the raw energy of the performance, emphasizing Page's fluid lead work and the interplay between his guitar work and the supporting ensemble, creating an atmosphere that feels immediate and unpolished in the best sense.

This 2023 Detonate Records pressing presents the broadcast as a 2×LP package, delivering the full-length FM transmission in stereo. As an unofficial release, it circulates material that occupies a particular niche in Page's documented live archive—neither official tour documentation nor studio work, but rather a snapshot of his interpretive choices during this era. Vinyl remains the natural format for broadcast recordings of this vintage, where the warmth of the medium suits the character of the source material.
