Jimmy Page
Superstar Concert Series
Westwood One CO 89-17 for broadcast the weekend of July 21, 1989
This one's for our good pal, Anonymous. :) Thanks for the link you added below, btw...and I hope you like this!
This show was first broadcast as 88-25 on Nov. 25, 1988. The first three tracks were repeated on Stars Of The Superstars ‘88 broadcast on the weekend of Dec. 23-25 1988, along with other artists. This syndication (CO 89-17) is the last appearance of the tracks on Westwood One and is the same show as 88-25, but with different commercials.
There's a version at Guitars 101 posted as "JIMMY PAGE, Public Hall Cleveland, Ohio; October 19, 1988 Westwood One Super Stars Rock Concert Series FM Broadcast FROM THE JOE MALONEY ARCHIVE TRANSFERRED AND PRESENTED BY KRW&CO." This is from an off-the-air recording. While the headline says Cleveland only, the post also says:
Tracks 1 - 7 are from 1988-10-19 Cleveland Public Hall, Cleveland, Ohio
Track 8 - 13 are from 1988-10-21 Hara Arena, Dayton, Ohio, USA
The Guitars 101 set is the source of the 2017 Japanese bootleg "Ohio 1988" "Therefore, this time, the air check sound source owned by the familiar Joe Maloney on the net is converted to a CD based on the version that the familiar "KRW & CO" has been carefully transferred on the net recently."
There's a gray market CD on Goldfish Records "Ohio - Cleveland Broadcast 1988" that attributes the entire show to Cleveland.
There's also a 1992 silver CD bootleg named "Moonlight Midnight" on the famous The Swingin' Pig label that says it's "Live in New York, October 22, 1988" (TSP-CD-113) Page was playing in Detroit on that date, so that's not it... This Swingin' Pig version was re-booted as "USA 1988" by Live Storm (LSCD51253) in 1994, attributing it to "Live In The U.S.A" with no date other than the year.
Now....there's specific information over on https://forums.ledzeppelin.com/ This is supposed to have been determined by comparing the Westwood One tracks with audience tapes. It seems very likely that this is the correct information. They're a Zep board, so they ought to know.... Westwood One OFTEN mixed in tracks from multiple sources, but the "first half from one show, second half from another" does not sound right to me. WW1 usually sliced n' diced these things up in the manner claimed on the Zep board. However, not having done the comparison myself, I can't vouch for it 100%. I'm going to tag the files in the "comments" field with this information, though, as it's the most likely to be true.

The last time we visited Hara Arena was for a Point Blank 1981 "In Concert" show, and we noted at the time that it's not REALLY in Dayton, but in Trotwood, OH (a separate city).
So....you get FLAC files of wavs, digitized directly from the 3 LP set. You get 300 dpi scans of the box cover, the six disc labels, the cue sheet, and a WW1 satellite schedule. I used Newspapers.com to track down two stories from the Dayton Daily News about the show, including a concert review. I couldn't find anything from Cleveland, unfortunately.
