Sweet Brummy Roll- Empress Valley EVSD-243 ~
245
3CDs in a double jewel
case.
Birmingham Odeon, Birmingham 16 December 1972, with
Brighton Dome ,
Brighton, 20 December
1972
Two completely new shows that have recently surfaced,
pulled out of the
hat by Empress Valley once again, how do they manage to
release so many
exciting new shows I wonder. The sound quality for
Birmingham is almost
very good, with Plant's voice talking in between songs
sounding slightly
distant. This source is from the master tape. Empress
Valley have done a
very good job in beefing up this tape, and the CDs sound
louder and
punchier than the master tape. There is a lot of tape
wobble during
Stairway To Heaven and the beginning of the Whole Lotta
Love Medley. One
point of great interest is that early on in The Rain Song
John Paul Jones
has big problems with the Mellotron, which goes out of
tune, and he had to
scurry across to the organ and play that instrument for the
rest of the
song. The first and only time I think in a Led Zeppelin
concert, most
surprising considering what a precocious instrument the
Mellotron is.
Brighton is a real gem, sadly only a fragment, taken from a
first
generation copy. It was recorded by a teenager who had
little money for
cassettes, and he recorded over much of this concert later
at a Rory
Gallagher concert. What a terrible shame as it was an
amazing concert by
all accounts. The sound on this is very good indeed. (Jules

Sweet Brummy Roll 3CD Empress Valley Supreme Discs EVSD
243-245
Birmingham Odeon 16th December 1972/Brighton Dome 20th
December 1972
The latest offering from the premiere Japanese label is 2
shows from the
late '72/early '73 UK tour, I was looking forward to
hearing this release
as it's the first appearance of these two shows which were
played only 4
days apart. The tape starts off with a few words from the
venue MC telling
every one that the show is about to start. The band take
the stage to a
comment of "Strike a light!" from one of the
tapers. The tape overloads
for a few seconds as Rock & Roll starts but soon
settles down to a
reasonable audience recording with Bonzo's drums a little
down in the mix.
Plant's voice is in relatively good shape for this show as
he hits those
high notes during the verse to Over The Hills And Far
Away.
Unfortunately, none of Plant's between song comments the
his home crowd
can be made out due to the taper being up in the stalls,
this lack of
volume also affects the bow solo in Dazed And Confused and
the beginning
of Stairway To Heaven. The Rain Song contains a garbled
section of tape
which also affects the other side of the C120 cassette
during Dazed And
Confused. Dazed And Confused interestingly contains a
snippet of the
descending riff from 'In The Light' during the final
section. The Brighton
tape is clearer than that from Birmingham and all
instruments are well
defined, unfortunately we only have 50 minutes of this show
containing
Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop, Since I've Been Loving You
(only 3 minute's
worth), Whole Lotta Love and an encore of Heartbreaker.
Some sources state
that the band played a medley of Christmas songs during the
encore, well
if they did, it's not here folks. Top marks to EVSD for
finding these two
new shows, it's just a pity that the shows weren't swopped
around, eg the
full Brighton show and 50 minutes of Birmingham because the
Brighton show
is a corker! (Yage 2003 September
