Does anyone have a link for the rare Zep live album Live At Royal Albert Hall. I've been looking for it for a long time and would appreciate some help. I'd prefer a digital download or maybe a free file.

John Lennon's lyric appeared in 1967, but the question how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall also ocurrs in the 1965 film "The Knack: And How to Get It". My question is whether the latter is the first reference or is there something historical which both refer to? A Brit will know.
Bear: I read that on the internet about the potholes but that refers to the holes in Blackburn Lancashire--it doesn't explain the holes in Albert Hall. The Knack--if you see it--definitely makes this reference in 1965, two years earlier. But what I have always wondered is whether it refers to something else earlier which is not known to Americans?
I also found this: 'Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.' It was a nonsense verse really, but for some reason I couldn't think of the verb. What did the holes do to the Albert Hall? It was Terry (Doran) who said 'fill' the Albert Hall."
John Lennon
Wo-momma--now I'm up against The Man himself?? Can I now challenge this-- continue with my suspicion that the reference to filling the holes in Albert Hall is not simply the product of Lennon's eye-magination in 1967 when he wrote the song? Yeah, what they hey. These LSD'd pot-heads will say anything, especially when they get bored with the interviewer. But I digress...

Dear Kerrvert:
The British vaudeville possibility sounds like about what I was expecting which proves nothing so far. I wouldn't doubt that the film differs from the play but the film was made in 1965 while the song came out in 1967--and the reference is definitely in the film and unambiguous. Of course it could be Lennon was simply thinking about the film but the reference does seem like it hearkens back to something. But the cat is not on the table? Sounds like you value your cat.
...
Does someone have a copy of 'Rolf Harris at the royal albert hall', that I can have a copy of? It was on a BBC channel in 2003. I dont mind either DVD or Video tape. I would be truly grateful.

Garyomega, your explanation sounds good but I wonder about its historicity. Another suggestion I like is it relates back to old vaudeville comments. The UK itself however is conspicuously ignoring the question--which may--or may not-- indicate there is no obvious answer. Since the film maker and Lennon were probably friends, he may be the common link despite the difference in release dates. Therefore it might amount to chasing down a personal bit of John Lennon's--a self-declared Freak!
But, Gary, lacking better participation by the Brits, I have devised for your benefit a Test Question to estimate your capacity for fabrication. Since you knew the true and correct explanation of the hole question, answer me this:
If:"Hitler has only got one ball,
The other is in the Albert Hall
His mother, the dirty bugger,
Cut it off when he was only small"--
How then did Hilter's ball end up in the Albert Hall? Find that out and then we find out everything.

Sorry but i cant get Luther Vandross' VCDs in my country. He is very handsome in that video. If anyone can help me with that or "Live 2003 At Radio City Music Hall", will be grateful. His voice is the best. None can come close to him. Cheers!
