LED ZEPPELIN - 12/30/68 GOZANGA UNIVERSITY A REAL RARITY, THE ONLY CONFIRMED 1968 SHOW. THIS SINGLE DISC INCOMPLETE AUDIENCE RECORDING IS FROM GONZAGA UNIVERSITY, SPOKANE, WASHINGTON ON DECEMBER 30. THE END OF DAZED IS CUT AND A FADE OUT OCCURS AS THE BAND RETURNS FOLLOWING THE PAT'S DELIGHT DRUM SOLO. OVERALL THE SOUND IS MUFFLED AND DISTORTED, WITH SOME BASS OVERLOAD. FORTUNATELY THE VOCALS ARE CLEAR IF A LITTLE DISTANT AND THE GUITAR BECOMES MORE AUDIBLE AT THE START OF I CAN QUIT YOU. PLANT VOICE IS SUPERB, REALLY GRABBING THOSE HIGH NOTES AND WHITE SUMMER DESPITE A BIT OF HISS SOUNDS FRESH AND INVENTIVE. AN EXCELLENT VERSION OF DAZED IS VERY CLOSE TO THE ARRANGEMENT ON THE FIRST ALBUM. PROBABLY ONE FOR THE MORE SERIOUS COLLECTOR

LED ZEPPELIN - 01/10/69 (2CDS) FOR YOUR LOVE. 93M SET FROM THE FILLMORE WEST, SAN FRANCISCO ON JANUARY 10, 1969. THIS IS THE FIRST ALMOST COMPLETE SHOW THAT HAS SURFACED SO FAR. THIS AUDIENCE RECORDING HAS A CUT IN DAZED AND CONFUSED AND THE BEGINNING OF BABE I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU IS MISSING. THE SOUND IS GOOD FOR THE ERA, WELL BALANCED AND ONLY SLIGHTLY MUFFLED, WITH THE VOCALS CAUSING OVERLOADING IN PLACES. EVERY NUMBER IS RAW AND AGGRESSIVE, THE STANDOUT ONES ARE AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU AND DAZED. WHITE SUMMER ETC. SOUND FRESH AND INVENTIVE.

LED ZEPPELIN - 01/11/69 BIRTH OF THE GODS (2 CDS)

LED ZEPPELIN - 01/11/69 FILLMORE WEST 1/11/69 SAN FRANCISCO 30M A PREVIOUSLY RELEASED IN BALBOA'S SINGLE CD "BIRTH OF THE GODS", THIS RECORDING IS ALMOST PERFECT, THERE'S HISS AND THE LOW FREQUENCIES ARE NOT VERY CLEAR, THE WORST PART COMES IN DAZED WHERE THERE ARE CLICKS (SUCCESSIVE DROPOUTS) DURING THE BOW SOLO AND PART OF THE INSTRUMENTAL PASSAGE THAT FOLLOWS;NONE OF THIS DEFICIENCIES ARE PRESENT IN BALBOA'S OFFERING,WHICH SOUNDS SHARPER AND THE BASS AND THE DRUMS SOUND FATTER AND LOUDER.THE SOURCE IS IDENTICAL,THEY BOTH SHARE THE SAME BALANCE WHICH IS THE ONLY DRAWBACK TO THIS RECORDING:VOCALS TO THE FORE WITH THE REST OF THE INSTRUMENTS "ROTATING" IN THE MIX.THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD PERFORMANCE,IT'S REMARKABLE HOW EVERY SINGLE VERSION OF I CAN'T QUIT YOU HAS A SPECIALNESS TO IT;DAZED IS GREAT,BONZO AND JONESY ACCOMPANY PAGE DURING THE BOW SOLO AND ALTHOUGH PLANT SOUNDS AS SUFFERING FROM FLU,HE DELIVERS POWERFULLY.PAGE PLAYS A BIT FROM THE BOOGIE WOOGIE RIFF IN THE FAST SOLO.THE FRAGMENT OF HOW MANY MORE TIMES PRESENT IN BALBOA'S RELEASE IS NOT INCLUDED.

LED ZEPPELIN - 01/26/69 BOSTON (2 CDS) AKA THE KILLING FLOOR PAGEY VERY MUCH TO THE FORE BUT JUST AS WELL BECAUSE HIS PLAYING IS SUPERB! THERE IS SOME DISTORTION AND PLANT CAN BE MADE OUT SCREECHING IN THE BACKGROUND. SOUND QUALITY PRETTY TYPICAL FOR THE ERA; FAIR TO GOOD. WORTH HAVING IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE THIS SHOW

LED ZEPPELIN - 02/01/69 FILLMORE FIRST TIME ON DISC FOR THIS UNUSUAL SHOW FROM THE FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK ON FEBRUARY 1 1969. THERE ARE NO CUTS IN THE SONGS FROM THIS AUDIENCE SOURCE BUT THE SOUND IS DISTANT AND MUDDY WITH SLIGHT HISS. THIS SINGLE DISC SET SHOWS SIGNS OF NOISE REDUCTION. THE BASS/DRUMS ENTRY IN TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN' OVERLOADS THE RECORDER AND RESULTS IN THE RECORDING BECOMING PARTICULARLY MUSHY WITH HOW MANY MORE TIMES BRINGING A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT. HAVING BEEN FORCED TO START WITH WHITE SUMMER/BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE IN THE TEMPORARY ABSENCE OF JONES' BASS, PAGE PLAYS THIS NUMBER NEATLY AND CONCISELY. I CAN'T QUIT YOU IS ALSO WORTHY OF NOTE. DAZED IS MISSED IN IT'S NORMAL PLACE AND ENDS UP IN PART INSIDE HOW MANY MORE TIMES! CASUAL COLLECTORS SHOULD PASS THIS ONE BY.

LED ZEPPELIN - 02/02/69 TORONTO THIS NEWLY DISCOVERED AUDIENCE RECORDING OF THE FIRST LED ZEPPELIN SHOW IN CANADA IS GOOD AND CLEAR. THERE IS THE EXPECTANT TAPE HISS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VOLUME HAS TO BE INCREASED DURING I CAN'T QUIT YOU. BUT IT'S MANAGEABLE. AS FOR THE PERFORMANCE, NOTHING IS HELD BACK, ESPECIALLY PLANT'S VOCALS DURING HOW MANY MORE TIMES. THERE AREN'T ANY SURPRISES DURING THIS SHOW AND THIS RECORDING IS NOT THE ENTIRE SHOW. PLUS THE ANNOUNCER NOTES THEY WILL BE DOING TWO SETS TONIGHT (THIS BEING THE FIRST). THE OLYMPIC STUDIO'S MATERIAL IS THE SAME AS WHAT'S BEEN OUT BEFORE, BUT WITH MORE TAPE HISS.

LED ZEPPELIN - 02/14/69 MIAMI (2 CDS) THE IMAGE CLUB (RDM-942002A, 942002B RAG DOLL MUSIC)CD 1: (43:15) TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN' (BEGINNING FADES IN), I CAN'T QUIT YOU BABY, DAZED & CONFUSED, KILLING FLOOR (INCLUDES LEMON SONG, NEEDLE BLUES, YOU'LL BE MINE), BABE I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU (INCLUDES REFLECTIONS ON MY MIND), HOW MANY MORE TIMES (INCLUDES ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN) (ENDING CUT)CD 2: (44:34) WHITE SUMMER/BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE (BEGINNING FADES IN), AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU (INCLUDES FRESH GARBAGE, HUSH LITTLE BABY, SHAKE), YOU SHOOK ME, PAT'S DELIGHT BOTH SETS ARE FROM THE SAME TAPER. EACH RECORDING IS GOOD AND CLEAR. THE VOLUME IS CONSISTENT WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE TAPE HISS. THE SOUND QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS A BIT DATED THOUGH. THE RECORDING OF THE FIRST SET ENDS DURING HOW MANY MORE TIMES' BOW SECTION

LED ZEPPELIN - 03/14/69 GLADSAXE

LED ZEPPELIN - 03/14/69 KICKS - STOCKHOLM SOURCE TAPE IS IDENTICAL TO "MANY MORE EARLY TIMES" (CD) AND "STOCKHOLM" (CD). BUT SOUND QUALITY IS INFERIOR TO "STOCKHOLM" AND ALMOST EQUAL TO "MANY MORE EARLY TIMES". THE ONLY ONE ADVANTAGE OVER THIS PREVIOUSLY RELEASED STUFF IS THAT IT CONTAINS A DJ COMMENT JUST AFTER HMMT (INCOMPLETE).

LED ZEPPELIN - 03/14/69 STOCKHOLM AUDIENCE TAPE INTERESTING COMPILATION OF MATERIAL PRESENTED IN AMAZING QUALITY FROM TDOLZ - THE BEST AVAILABLE VERSIONS THUS FAR. THE FIRST FOUR TRACKS FROM STOCKHOLM WERE RECORDED FROM THE SOUNDBOARD ON MARCH 14, 1969 (THE EXACT DATE MAY STILL BE IN DISPUTE). AS THE CD BACK COVER CLAIMS, THIS STOCKHOLM MATERIAL WAS "TAKEN FROM THE MASTER REEL TO REEL". STATEMENTS LIKE THAT ARE ALWAYS QUESTIONABLE, BUT THERE'S NO DOUBT THIS IS A CLEAN AND NEAR EXCELLENT RECORDING. THIS MATERIAL HAS ALSO BEEN AVAILABLE ON TARANTURA'S "KICKS" - WHICH USED TO BE THE BEST AVAILABLE VERSION OF THIS SHOW

LED ZEPPELIN - 03/19/69 MAIDA VALE THIRTEEN PLUS MINUTES OF THE "LOST" BBC SESSION FROM MARCH 19 1969,IN VERY CLEAR AND DETAILED, ALTHOUGH DULL, SOUND QUALITY. REAL DRAGON'S CDR RELEASE "THE CRUNGE" INCLUDED SUNSHINE WOMAN INDIVIDUALLY AS A "HIDDEN" BONUS TRACK IN FAIR QUALITY,THERE'S A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE HERE,ONLY THE SOUND WAS SLIGHTLY BRIGHTER IN THE OTHER RELEASE.THE INTRODUCTION TO YOU SHOOK ME,AS DESCRIBED BY MR.LEWIS IN TBL 13,IS NOT PRESENT. I CAN'T QUIT YOU IS EXCELLENT;A STANDARD YOU SHOOK ME HAS JONESY ON ORGAN AND CUTS OUT AFTER FOUR MINUTES WITHOUT A GUITAR SOLO.SUNSHINE WOMAN SOUNDS LIKE A MID SIXTIES BRITISH BLUES,PERHAPS PLAYED IN MR.KORNER'S HONOR, A THE ALL-STARS FEATURING THE NEW YARDBIRDS KIND OF JAM,IF YOU WILL.HOWEVER THE RARITY OF THIS TRACK,IT IS I CAN'T QUIT YOU THE OUTSTANDING TRACK OF THIS SESSION.

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You  6.Pat's Delight 7.Dazed and Confused (Edit)

LED ZEPPELIN - 04/26/69 WINTERLAND (2CDS) THE SOUND QUALITY FOR BOTH SETS IS VERY GOOD PLUS. THE INSTRUMENTS ARE VERY CLEAR IN BOTH SETS. TAPE HISS IS PRESENT UP TO THE FIRST TWO MINUTES OF I CAN'T QUIT YOU, BUT VANISHES AFTERWARDS. THIS SHOW WAS PREVIOUSLY RELEASED ON PSYCHEDELIC EXPLOSION (TDOLZ). GRAHAM'S SUPERB VOL 1 HAS A FEW ADVANTAGES OVER PSYCHEDELIC EXPLOSION. PSYCHEDELIC EXPLOSION'S INTRODUCTIONS ARE SHORTER, IT HAS A SMALL CUT NEAR THE END OF DAZED & CONFUSED, and THERE IS MORE NOTICEABLE TAPE HISS AND IT RUNS 3-4% SLOWER. THE ONLY ADVANTAGE IT HAS OVER GRAHAM'S SUPERB VOL 1 IS THE LACK OF THE CUT NEAR THE END OF WHOLE LOTTA LOVE.

LED ZEPPELIN - 07/21/69 SCHAEFER SINGLE DISC FROM THE SHOW AT THE SCHAEFER MUSIC FESTIVAL, CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK ON JULY 21, 1969. PREVIOUSLY RELEASED AS SUPERSTARS ON TNT STUDIO, WHICH MISSED THE OPENING TRACK THIS IS THE COMPLETE AUDIENCE RECORDING. ALL INSTRUMENTS ARE CLEAR, WITH THE VOCALS SOMETIMES A LITTLE OVERPOWERING RESULTING IN SOME DISTORTION. A FAST, NO FRILLS TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN' IS A BIT OVERLOADED BUT THE SOUND IMPROVES AFTERWARDS. I CAN'T QUIT YOU FEATURES A FAST AND FURIOUS STELLAR GUITAR WORKOUT AND THE VOCALS ON YOU SHOCK ME ARE OUTSTANDING. DAZED AND CONFUSED IS A REAL BLAST! RECOMMENDED

LED ZEPPELIN - 07/25/69 WISCONSIN SOURCE TAPE IS IDENTICAL TO THAT OF "STATE FAIR" AND "SECRET HISTORY OF LED ZEPPELIN". ("SECRET---" CONTAINS ONLY TRAIN---.) BUT I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE IDENTICAL. SOUND QUALITY OF THIS NEW STUFF FROM THE DIAGRAMS OF LZ IS A MAJOR UPGRADE FROM THAT OF BOTH "STATE FAIR" AND "SECRET---"!! IN TERMS OF COMPLETENESS AS WELL, THERE STILL IS CUT AT THE BEGINNING OF HMMT AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LEMON SONG DURING THE HMMT MEDLEY, BUT THE DROP OUT AT THE ENDING OF HMMT, WHICH WAS IN "STATE FAIR", IS NOT ON THIS ONE. I'M AFRAID I COULD NOT COMPARE THIS ONE WITH "NEVER HEALED" (LP) NOR "THE BIG DOPE PARTY '69" (LP), SINCE I DO NOT OWN THEM, BUT ONCE I HEARD THAT THEY ARE INFERIOR TO "STATE FAIR" IN SOUND QUALITY AND COMPLETENESS. IF SO, "STROLL ON" IS THE BEST BOOT OF THIS SHOW.

LED ZEPPELIN - 08/18/69 TORONTO SET (1CD) TORONTO (ACTUALLY 02/02/69) SET 2 (2CDS) THE THREE ROCKPILE SHOWS FROM 69 ARE PRESENTED HERE BY THE SANCTUARY BOYS. THE FIRST, 2/2/69 WAS PREVIOUSLY OUT ON THE TOTONKA LABEL BUT WAS MISSING KILLING FLOOR (AS WAS THE TAPE THAT CIRCULATED AT THE TIME). KILLING FLOOR IS COMPLETE HERE AND THE SANCTUARY RELEASE IS SLIGHTLY BETTER IN TERMS OF SOUND QUALITY AS IT IS FROM A LOWER GEN TAPE (AS IS THE TAPE CURRENTLY CIRCULATING).THE SECOND AND THIRD DISCS CONTAIN BOTH SETS, COMPLETE, FROM AUGUST IN BETTER QUALITY THAN EITHER HIDEAWAY (NEINERWALD) OR THE COMPLETE ROCKPILE SHOW. IN PARTICULAR, THE FIRST SET HAS ONLY PREVIOUSLY BEEN OUT ON THE SYMBOLS RELEASE BUT THAT USED NOISE REDUCTION TO REMOVE THE HISS PRESENT ON THE TAPE WHICH FLATTENED THE SOUND MAKING IT INFERIOR TO THE SANCTUARY VERSION.THE ROCKPILE, TORONTO, CANADA (SECOND SHOW), AUGUST 18, 1969CD 1: INTRODUCTION/ THE TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN', I CAN'T QUIT YOU, DAZED & CONFUSED, WHITE SUMMER/ BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE, YOU SHOOK ME (CONTAINS A CUT IN THE MIDDLE), HOW MANY MORE TIMES (INCLUDES FEEL SO FINE, THE HUNTER, TRUCKIN' LITTLE MAMA, NEEDLE BLUES, THE LEMON SONG, LOVE ME) CD 2: COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN (INCLUDES THERE IS A MOUNTAIN),THE ROCKPILE, TORONTO, CANADA (FIRST SHOW), AUGUST 18, 1969 THE TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN' (SMALL CUT IN BEGINNING), I CAN'T QUIT YOU, DAZED & CONFUSED (CONTAINS A CUT DURING THE BOW SOLO), YOU SHOOK ME, HOW MANY MORE TIMES (INCLUDES THE HUNTER, THE LEMON SONG)THE AUDIENCE RECORDING FROM THE SECOND SHOW IS GOOD TO VERY GOOD AND CLEAR. THE FIRST 2 AND LAST 2 TRACKS ARE VERY BASS HEAVY TO THE POINT OF OVERPOWERING THE TAPE. THIS RELEASE CONTAINS LESS TAPE HISS THAN THE RELEASE HIDEAWAY (NIENERWALD MUZICA CORP.). BOTH HAVE THE SAME CUT DURING YOU SHOOK ME. THE FIRST SHOW FILLS OUT THE SECOND CD. IT IS FAIR AND LISTENABLE AT BEST, POOR AND DISAPPOINTING AT WORST. THE RECORDING IS MUFFLED, DISTANT AND VERY HISSY AT ITS WORST. IT ALSO CONTAINS NUMEROUS VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS. THE ONLY DECENT SECTIONS ARE DAZED & CONFUSED (UP TO THE CUT), MOST OF YOU SHOOK ME AND HOW MANY MORE TIMES (EXCEPT THE LAST 2 MINUTES WHICH ARE HEAVILY DISTORTED BY THE BASS).

(IMAGE QUALITY) 68:40.TRACK LIST: GOOD TIMES,BAD TIMES-COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN/I CAN'T QUIT YOU HEARTBREAKER/DAZED/WHITE SUMMER- BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE/BABE I'M GOING TO LEAVEYOU /MOBY DICK.AUDIENCE RECORDING FROM THE O'KEEFE CENTRE IN TORONTO CANADA,ON NOVEMBER 2 1969.THE RECORDER WAS FAIRLY CLOSE TO JONESY'S AMPLIFIERS,THEREFORE THE BASS IS UPFRONT,BUT THERE IS NO DISTORTION,AT LEAST NOT ON THIS EXCELLENT RELEASE.VOCALS,GUITAR AND DRUMS FOLLOW IN THE MIX,BONZO IS A BIT DISTANT BUT VERY DISCERNABLE,PERHAPS THE EVENT WAS RECORDED FROM ONE SIDE OF THE STAGE, CONSEQUENTLY THE SOUND DOESN'T "HIT" DIRECTLY IN THE MICROPHONE,IT SEEMS TO "BOUNCE" BACK TO IT.BECAUSE OF THIS,THE VOCALS SOUND A LITTLE DISTORTED AND ECHOEY .THE RECORDING IS VIRTUALLY FREE OF HISS,SHARP AND VERY DETAILED,A VERY LOW GENERATION SOURCE WAS PROBABLY USED,AUDIENCE NOISE IS PRACTICALLY NON-EXISTENT,EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THERE ARE MICROPHONE-HANDLING NOISES.THE ONLY COMPLAINTS ARE THE VERY LOW VOLUME DURING THE QUIETER MOMENTS,ESPECIALLY ON WHITE SUMMER-BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE AND BABE I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU,AS WELL AS THE INCOMPLETENESS OF THE SET,SO THE LABEL MADE A SUPERB JOB IN PRESENTING THIS SH! OW AS NONE OF THESE FLAWS ARE MASTERING FAULTS BUT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TAPE SOURCE.IT'S PREFERABLE TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL VOLUME THAN TO HAVE IT ARTIFICIALLY MANIPULATED.THE PERFORMANCE IS EXCELLENT,THE CONTRASTS BETWEEN THE HEAVY AND DELICATE PASSAGES AND THE CONTROL OF THE DYNAMICS ARE PERFECTLY EXECUTED,THE BAND IS INCEREDIBLY TIGHT.THIS RELEASE OWES ITS TITLE TO THE SET OF LYRICS USED BY PLANT DURING COMMUNICATION,WHERE THE BEAT CHANGES,THIS IS AS FAR AS THIS NUMBER IS RELATED TO THE BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD'S ORIGINAL.EVERYONE IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND INSPIRED,DAZED WHITE SUMMER AND BABE ARE AWESOME.THE "RAGAH" SECTION AFTER THE BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE EPISODE IS PARTICULARLY FRENZIED.PAGE PLAYS A SUPERB GIG IN SPITE OF HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH FAST SCALES ON WHITE SUMMER AND ON HEARTBREAKER'S UNACCOMPANIED SOLO,UNDETERRED,HE GOES BACK TO THE STARTING POINT AND BEGINS ONCE OR TWICE UNTIL HE IS SATISFIED WITH HIS PLAYING.PAGE PLAYS SOME IMPROVISED PICKING ON BABE.THE TAPER SEEMS TO BE SAVING THE TAPE SO THERE ARE MANY CUTS BETWEEN SONGS AND PROBABLY SKIPPED WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER BE,THE ONLY NOTICEABLE CUTS ARE ON MOBY DICK,ONE AT AROUND 4'30" AND ANOTHER AT AROUND 8'05".A BETTER IDEA WOULD HAVE BEEN TO SKIP MOBY DICK IN FAVOR OF THE FINALE OR THE ENCORE.ALL PRAISES TO THIS RELEASE.

LED ZEPPELIN - 11/07/69 WINTERLAND BALLROOM, SAN FRANCISCO (2CDS) THE AUDIENCE TAPE USED FOR THE NOVEMBER 7TH SHOW IS FROM ONE SOURCE AND IS RATED GOOD AT BEST. IT TOO SUFFERS FROM TAPE HISS. THE INSTRUMENTS ARE ALSO UNBALANCED IN THE MIX. THE GUITAR IS MOSTLY UP-FRONT WHILE THE VOCALS ARE IN THE BACKGROUND. PLANT'S VOCALS ARE BARELY AUDIBLE DURING COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN. THERE ARE ALSO NUMEROUS SPEED PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT AND THE VOLUME DISTORTS THE TAPE AT THE END OF ITS RUN. PAGE PLAYS SUZIE Q AS PART OF THE INSTRUMENTAL WARMUP TO HOW MANY MORE TIMES

THIS AUDIENCE RECORDING STARTS OFF IN WE'RE GONNA GROOVE AS VERY MUFFLED, DISTORTED AND DISTANT BUT DOES AFTERWARD BECOME CLEARER EVEN IF TAPE WOBBLE IS HEARD IN PLACES. MOBY DICK IS SEVERELY CUT AND THERE ARE DROP OUTS IN DAZED. MOST SONGS ARE PLAYED IN SHORT BUT INTENSE ARRANGEMENTS, ESPECIALLY I CAN'T QUIT YOU AND COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN. GOOD GUITAR WORK ON HEARTBREAKER, WHITE SUMMER AND HOW MANY MORE TIMES.

SIDE, SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU, ORGAN SOLO~THANK YOU, MOBY DICK, HOW MANY MORE TIMES, WHOLE LOTTA LOVE, COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN, C'MON EVERYBODY, SOMETHING ELSE, BRING IT ON HOME, LONG TALL SALLY. NOT A GREAT DEAL NEEDS TO BE SAID ABOUT THIS RELEASE. IT IS BASICALLY A RE-ISSUE OF PREVIOUS RELEASES OF THIS SHOW (RIOT GOING ON, THE NOBS). THE NOBS IS SLIGHTLY INFERIOR. THE PERFORMANCE IS DEVASTATING AS MOST WILL ATTEST. THE RECORDING IS PERHAPS *SLIGHTLY* ABOVE AVERAGE, THOUGH AT TIMES (WITH THE INCESSANT CLAPPING ETC... IT IS ALMOST UNLISTENABLE). DISTANCE, DISTORTION AND SOME AUDIENCE DISTURBANCE DETER FROM THE ENJOYMENT OF THIS RECORDING. THESE NOTWITHSTANDING, IT IS DEFINITELY A QUITE LISTENABLE SHOW. THAT SAID, THE PERFORMANCE IS PERHAPS THE BEST OF THE 1970 EURO - TOUR RECORDINGS. "DAZED" IS PERFORMED AT A FEVERED PITCH. BONHAM IS IN A THRASHING MOOD THROUGHOUT "DAZED" AS WELL AS A FRANTIC "HEARTBREAKER". "WHITE SUMMER" IS A DRASTIC CHANGE OF PACE. ANOTHER EARLY LIVE VERSION OF "SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU" EMOTES RAW ENERGY, BUT LACKS THE REFINED DRAMATIC QUALITY OF LATER LIVE VERSIONS. EARLY VERSION OF THE ORGAN SOLO INTRO TO "THANK YOU" IS EXTREMELY BRIEF; JONES HAS YET TO TRANSFORM IT INTO A PIECE WORTHY OF SCRUTINY. THE DISTANCE OF PAGE'S GUITAR DETERS FROM THE ENJOYMENT OF A CONCISE, BEAUTIFUL SOLO IN "THANK YOU". PLANT HAS NOT YET DEVELOPED HIS "BUM, BA, BUM, BA, BUM, BA, BUM" FOR THE CONCLUSION, BUT HE HINTS AT IT. FEW PAGE FANFARES AS WELL. "HOW MANY MORE TIMES", AS USUAL, IS THE SHOWSTOPPER. THE BAND IS HOUNDED BY THE INCESSANT CLAPPING AT THE OUTSET. SAME DRAMATIC INTRO RIFFS AS THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL SHOW FROM JUST OVER A MONTH EARLIER. THIS IS THE REAL "RIOT GOING ON" PORTION OF THE SHOW... WITH ROBERT EXHORTING THE CROWD, AND SOME '69 STYLE CALL AND RESPONSE. THE RARE ENCORES "C'MON EVERYBODY", "SOMETHING ELSE", "BRING IT ON HOME" AND "LONG TALL SALLY" MAKE THIS SHOW A CLASSIC.SUMMARY: IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO GET A COPY OF THIS SHOW, DUE TO THE GREAT PERFORMANCE, THE RARITIES, AND THE HISTORICAL VALUE (THIS IS "THE NOBS" SHOW AFTERALL).

LED ZEPPELIN - 03/10/70 HAMBURG (FRANKFURT) (2CDS)MYSTERY EUROPEAN GIG MUSIKHALLE, HAMBURG, GERMANY MARCH 10TH, 1970DISC 1: WERE GONNA GROOVE, I CANT QUIT YOU BABY, DAZED AND CONFUSED, HEARTBREAKER, WHITE SUMMER/BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE, SINCE IVE BEEN LOVING YOU, ORGAN SOLO/THANK YOU (FADES OUT)DISC 2: WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER BE, MOBY DICK (SLIGHTLY CUT), HOW MANY MORE TIMES (INC.

THERE HAS BEEN LOT OF SPECULATION ABOUT THE PLACE WHERE THIS GIG IS RECORDED. SOME PEOPLE SAY ITS HAMBURG, SOME PEOPLE (AND BACK COVER OF THE CD) SAY ITS FRANKFURT. PERSONALLY, I PLACE THIS SHOW TO HAMBURG, AS PLANT CLEARLY MENTIONS HAMBURG IN THE BEGINNING OF HOW MANY MORE TIMES. ANYWAY, NOW TO THE SHOW ITSELF. WERE GONNA GROOVE KICKS OFF THE SHOW. AT THIS POINT, SOUND QUALITY IS STILL LITTLE MURKY BUT IN I CANT QUIT YOU BABY IT HAS GET BETTER. DAZED AND CONFUSED HAS GROWN ITSELF ALMOST A 20-MINUTE LONG EPIC AND HEARTBEAKER HAS A VERY QUIET INTRO. AND IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY, YOU CAN HEAR PLANT STARTING TO SING FIRST LINES FROM LIVING LOVING MAID (SHES A WOMAN) AFTER THE SONG IS FINISHED. WHITE SUMMER/BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE IS ON TURN NEXT AND BEFORE THE SONG STARTS, SOMEBODY FROM THE AUDIENCE SHOUTS SOMETHING IN GERMAN (SOMETHING FUNNY, I GUESS, `CAUSE THE AUDIENCE STARTS TO LAUGH). NEXT THE PREVIEW FROM LED ZEPPELIN III (RELEASED IN OCTOBER 1970), THE SLOW BLUES SINCE IVE BEEN LOVING YOU. AS THIS PIECE IS FINISHED, JONES STARTS HIS ORGAN SOLO (HE IS DOING A GREAT JOB AGAIN), WHICH IS FOLLOWED BY THANK YOU (PERSONALLY, I THINK THIS VERSION IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST THEY EVER PLAYED LIVE). UNFORTUNATELY THIS BRILLIANT PIECE FADES OUT JUST BEFORE THE FINAL VERSE IS ABOUT TO BEGIN. DISC 2 STARTS WITH WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER BE FROM THE SECOND ALBUM. THEN ITS TIME FOR JOHN BONHAM AND MOBY DICK. BONHAM PLAYS THIS PIECE LIKE HE HAS ALWAYS PLAYED AND VERY POLITE AUDIENCE APPLAUSES FOR HIM AFTER HE HAS FINISHED HIS PLAYING. THE LONG (ONE OF THE LONGEST EVER PLAYED) HOW MANY MORE TIMES MEDLEY FOLLOWS AND PLANT INTRODUCES THE BAND MEMBERS. THEN ITS THE FINAL TRACK WHOLE LOTTA LOVE AND ANOTHER AMAZING NIGHT IS OVER.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-03-11 (2CDS) Hamburg Musikhalle, Hamburg, Germany March 11, 1970 The recording is overloaded by the bass which distorts the tape a little. We're Gonna Groove sounds cluttered and the instruments lack definition. There is also tape hiss in the upper frequencies. A good equalizer will temper the tape hiss. The tapers talk around the recorder in places, but it's minor. The recording clears up a bit by I Can't Quit You, but the bass still overloads the tape in places. The quality of the recording ranks somewhere between good and very good from this point on. The recording does drop back a notch from How Many More Times to the end of the tape as the bass gets a little heavy and the instruments lose clarity. Whole Lotta Love is not cued separately. The tape ends shortly after the *looove* portion of Whole Lotta Love.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-03-25-Denver (2CDS) Two disc audience sourced set out for the first time from the Denver Coliseum on March 25 1970. Starting off distant, muddy and hissy the sound brightens up after a while allowing more detail to be discernible, but there are volume fluctuations later on. Also, in Thank You some tape print-through can be heard in the left channel, which does clear towards the end of the show. A very upbeat performance all-round, Dazed has good Page/Plant interaction, Thank You is very dramatic featuring an intense guitar solo and Robert Plant really goes for the high notes. Worth putting up with average sound quality for the musical delights!

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-03-27 (2CDS) Inglewood LA Jive & Rambling Mind (Holy Grail)Upgraded version from the original Mud Dogs release D'Ya Feel Alright?, this is the audience source from The Forum, Inglewood show on March 27, 1970. The sound starts off muffled and a little distant, the drums overpowering the guitar. A few numbers in, it's gets clearer but has more hiss. There are cuts in Dazed and the beginning of Moby Dick. Also there are occasional dropouts and the odd bits of tape wobble. This is a great gig; How Many More Times is epic, good guitar work in Heartbreaker, White Summer, Since I've Been Loving You and an impressive Jones' Organ intro to Thank You. Plants vocals are convincing throughout. Included as a bonus at the end of the second CD is Communication Breakdown from the Boston Gardens show on September 9, 1970. The performance overcomes the occasional sonic deficiency, giving this release general appeal.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-03-28 (2CDS) Dallas Memorial Auditorium, Dallas, Texas, March 28, 1970 The recording from the 28th is from a good to very good, clear, slightly distant audience tape. The sound is slightly flat and tape hiss is very noticeable. Equalizing the tape hiss out only dulls the sound more. The balance shifts to one channel for a few seconds during Heartbreaker's guitar solo which contains only Bouree. Heartbreaker goes directly into Bring It On Home. The audience does get a little talkative during White Summer. It's minor, but annoying. The cut at the end of White Summer occurs after Page finishes his soloing. Dead silence follows the cut with audience clapping fading in. Even though its ending is cut, Moby Dick is still 19 minutes long!

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-03-29 (2CDS)Houston The recording from the 29th is very good, clear and significantly brighter than the recording from the 28th (probably a result of being closer to the stage). It also has less tape hiss. There is some initial distortion during White Summer when the drums enter. Page has an obsession with playing For What It's Worth during How Many More Times. Not only does he use it as an introduction, but reintroduces it after the first verse and includes it during the medley. Curiously, Plant doesn't sing any of its lyrics. The tape ends as they are getting into Tobacco Road.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-04-05-Baltimore (2CDS)

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-04-07-Raleigh (2CDS) This 2 CD set is no longer than previous versions of this audience source from the Dorten Auditorium, Raleigh, North Carolina on April 7, 1970. All instruments are clear, with a slight bias to the bass frequencies and a bit of hiss audible in the quieter moments. The taper missed the very start of We're Gonna Groove and as Moby Dick starts to fade towards the end, the track is cut. Virtually every track is excellent, always lively and technically proficient. Page is fast and fluent on Dazed and Confused, inspired on White Summer. Jones gives a good intro. to Thank You on the organ and check out Plant's harmonica work on Bring It On Home. Although not the complete gig, this set is worth seeking out.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-04-09 (2CDS) Tampa Well represented on disc before this 2 CD set is from the Curtis Hickson Hall, Tampa on April 1970. The audience recording starts with the end section only of Bring It On Home and misses the first part of What Is And What Should Never Be. Generally good quality listening with the instruments being clear and in reasonable balance. There is some slight hiss with occasional channel level changes and mike handling noise. How Many More Times has 1 cut, and tape disturbances in two places as does Whole Lotta Love. White Summer is well paced and inventive. Jones plays a good intro for Thank You and Page lets rip with a burning solo. How Many More Times features excellent Plant vocals with the audience pushing the band along in the medley. Worth adding to any collection of the fifth American tour.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-04-12-St.Paul (2CDS)

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-04-14-Ottawa This CD also includes some of the "lost" March 19 1969, BBC session. Ottawa, Canada April 14 1970.Sixty minutes approximately. A disturbing recording, stunningly detailed. The first striking factor of this document is the proximity of the recorder to the instruments, the audience sounds very far away as in a soundboard tape, but this is not the case. The taper is probably behind the stage, seemingly walking about, carelessly handling the microphone, so there are constant changes in balance and unpleasant noises. The volume also fluctuates almost constantly and so does the brightness, perhaps a digital processing system was used to eliminate the hiss. There are cuts and edits beyond the bounds of comprehension: large portions of White Summer and Dazed are cut, on the latter track the bow episode goes in and out every few seconds(the taper chooses the quiet moments to discuss, probably the optimum location of the equipment ,and even coughs),Whole Lotta Love is captured seconds before the theremin portion and cuts out. The other tracks are fairly complete, only they cut in and out ,the taper could not wait for the final notes to be played before stopping the recorder. On the positive side, the true value of this document is the details it offers and the excellence of the performance. Hearbreaker is furious, Jonesy's bass guitar chords are very clear and so are the echo and theremin effects; every drum head and cymbal can be heard during the Bring It On Home battle of Page and Bonzo;the fragments of White Summer are illuminating; the passionate delivery of Since I've Been Loving You is awesome, Dazed is frantic, it's a pity that the excellent bow solo is so shamelessly edited.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-06-28 Bath Alt An interesting compilation of material presented in amazing quality, the best available versions thus far. Two tracks from the groundbreaking show at the Bath Festival on June 28, 1970 are "Taken From The Legendary Analogue LP On KRISHNA Label". This entire show is available on many different titles, but the sound quality has always been regarded as very poor to fair, at best. These two tracks do provide a significantly cleaner but still slightly distorted sound from the SAME source tape used, for example, on the 2CD title "Bath 1970" from Le-Mon Recordings. Some claim this is recorded off the soundboard. Definitely a very good release by any standard, and highly recommended to the collector who already has almost everything.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-06-28-Bath (2CDS)

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-08-15 (2CDS) New Haven Rare Short I recollect wondering aloud a few months back why, despite the fragmentary nature of this source, there had not been a CD release of this show. Well, here it is. As the first show of the 6th U.S. Tour, this is very much a transitional show. Outside of the legendary Bath show and a handful of July shows in Germany, the band is coming off its longest layoff without touring since its inception. None of the enthusiasm has been lost in the intermission: no rust here! Elements of earlier tours as well as the new direction Zep was taking are evident in this show. 50 days after Bath and 20 days before Blueberry Hill, this is Zep at their best. The opener "Immigrant Song" is distorted and drifts in and out as the tapers discuss where to position their equipment. By Page's solo they have decided, and the recording improves accordingly. Although the band has settled on the traditional arrangement of "Immigrant Song" this track still has an *experimental* feel to it, reminiscent of the Bath festival (in fact the whole show has a great outdoor atmosphere feel to it). "Heartbreaker", the already familiar set standard, receives a warm reception from the crowd. The whole band, led by Page, is particularly frantic after the quiet section. The first few seconds of "Dazed" is cut, a recurring phenomenon of this well-known source is the edits between tracks. The bow solo transcends description (one of the tapers compares it to being in the "twilight zone"). Great interplay between Page and Bonham during the fast solo section (some low end rumble distorts this portion of the tape, but after this section the recording quickly recovers). Some fun call and response between Page and Plant here (above and beyond the usual). "Bring It On Home", worth the price of admission alone, has Plant doing some great harmonica work in the intro and in an extended improv section working the crowd into a frenzy (one of the best "BIOH" in its short set life). Page rains cascades of fast-paced notes down on the audience, even snatches of "Poor Tom" can be heard in this section. "Since I've Been Loving You" has come a long way from early '70 versions, and its evolution into a much more dramatic piece is apparent here. Slow and drawn out is the method (the antithesis of the '73 versions). Plant's vocal range is dynamic: his "Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" at the start of the second verse send chills down the spine. Some new lyrics for the last verse as well, include: "You're the worst woman that I ever saw, I don't want to boogie with you no more!" Unfortunately, what was shaping up as a great finale is cut short. "WIAWSNB" is marred by cuts. The centerpiece of the concert is one of the best ever WLL medleys (despite the fact that the recording does not pick it up until near the start of the boogie section). After the Bath Festival, "How Many More Times" had been dropped, and now "Whole Lotta Love" contains the medley. Played with guts and unparalleled enthusiasm, this medley features some great rarities. Plant works the audience into a frenzy until all of the tension is released by the explicit lyrics of the "Lemon Song" and "Needle Blues", voraciously received by the crowd. The hysteric chants of "more!" are answered by a "Communication Breakdown" encore. Summary: A great and historic performance. The recording is good, but certainly not exceptional. Some distortion and hiss are evident throughout, as well as occasional low end rumble. The IQ 2CD release is roughly the equivalent of the tape I have of this show. As this is only an 85 minute tape, it is rather paltry for a 2 CD set. The edits detract from the show as well. Nonetheless, I still recommend it.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-08-17 (2CDS)Hampton Roads Debut on a 2 CD set for the complete audience source from the Hampton Roads Coliseum, Hampton show on August 17, 1970. It's uncut, but not a particularly good recording. It starts out distant, overloaded with only the voice clear in the general mush. The instruments do clear on occasions but there are some dropouts, volume/channel changes and recorder handling noise in various places. Tape disturbance affects Dazed And Confused and Thank You. Not a outstanding show by any means, the best spots are the Heartbreaker guitar solo, and the epic organ intro to Thank You.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-08-21 (2CDS)Tulsa The Lights Go Down Tulsa, Oklahoma, August 21, 1970. The quality of this audience recording starts off somewhere between good and very good. The main drawback is the balance of the instrumentation. The vocals and guitar come through very clear. But the rhythm section is at the bottom of the mix, giving it a slightly distant sound. This is due to a recorder, and audience, still looking for their seats. The sound becomes brighter and louder after the recorder gets better positioned a minute into Immigrant Song. But the rhythm section is still at the bottom of the mix. The muffled sound during Heartbreaker "phases" the guitar sound and drops the sound quality down to good. Page and Plant's protests about the lights being turned on during Heartbreaker results in the audience settling down around the recorder. This in turn helps with the clarity of the recording and the rhythm section comes through better (the snare drum is distinguishable). The vocals and guitar are still at the top of the mix. But the recording from this point on is close to very good. There is barely any noticeable tape hiss on this release. Most likely due to the use of a very low generation tape. The inclusion of White Summer at the ending section of Dazed & Confused is unexpected, but very welcomed and fits surprisingly well. If only Plant had not vocalized over it, maybe Page would have extended further. Luis Rey asserts Tulsa Hillbilly was played before Thats the Way. But this is not true. Page does play a couple bars of something while he tunes up for Bron-Yr-Aur. He and Plant also play a couple bars of something before Since Ive Been Loving You. I'm not sure which is Tulsa Hillbilly. Plant makes an attempt at Whole Lotta Love's finale after Lemon Song. But changes his mind when feedback interrupts him. Plant, "woman". Audience, "woman" <feedback>. Plant, "PA. Everybody say PA". Audience, "PA". Plant, "is crap". Audience, "is crap". Page's guitar is absent for 10 seconds at the beginning of Communication Breakdown. The volume of the guitar is also significantly lower during Communication Breakdown, especially during the solo. But Page makes up for it by reintroducing the theremin during the bass solo and at the end of the song.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-08-31-Milwaukee This release uses a newly discovered audience tape. It is a near excellent source; clear and up close with very little audience disturbance or tape hiss. All the instruments are well balanced. As would be expected for an early date, the band is in top form. The good natured audience allows both Page and Plant to be more adventurous with their performances. After Page plays a quick ditty prior to Since I've Been Loving You, Plant tells the audience maybe they could get on that "Saturday morning children's television". Plant freely changes the lyrics to Dazed & Confused. During the tune up for Bron-Yr-Aur, Plant asks the audience if they remembered the festival (July 25, 1969). Judging by the response, they do. During Bron-Yr-Aur, prior to the cut, the recording picks up a "heartbeat" sound. This was probably produced by the tape reaching its end. It goes away after the cut. Unfortunately this appears to be all that is available from this show.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-09-02-Oakland Live on Blueberry Hill II (2CD, OAK-1/2), Oakland, 2/9/70 Two versions of source tapes are surfaced from this show. One is once used on "Get Loose" (2CD), and the other is used on "Two Days Before". The latter is better in sound quality. This newly released boot uses the latter. Sound quality is almost the same as "Two Days Before", but hiss noise is reduced a bit. Still contains some cuts, but maybe more complete than "Two Days Before".

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-09-03-San Diego

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-09-06-Honolulu International Center, Honolulu, Hawaii, September 6, 1970 A very good audience recording of a newly "discovered" show. The vocals are very up front in this recording while the drums are pushed to the rear. Distortion is also present throughout the recording (I don't think the recorder was ready for the volume of this performance) but it does lessen significantly after Heartbreaker. There is a cut between Heartbreaker and Since I've Been Loving You. Possibly more exists of this show between those two numbers.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-09-04-Blueberry Hill

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-09-09-Boston Two source tapes are surfaced from this show. One is used for "207.19" (2LP). The other is the one used for "No Licence, No Festival" (2CD). Among these stuff, "No Licence, No Festival" is most complete and (maybe) contains all songs which was performed on that day. But strictly speaking, WLL on NLNF and "214/207.19" (4CD) contains as many as 6 drop outs, while this song is complete and uncut on "207.19" (2LP). In terms of sound quality, IMHO, both "No Licence, No Festival" (2CD) and "214/207.19" are almost the same and better than "207.19" (2LP).Obviously the bootlegger who released this one had researched into these previously released stuff. This newly released stuff uses both 2 source tapes!! The complete version which was used for NLNF and "214/207.19" (4CD) is mainly used, but the alternate version is used for WLL and CB. So needless to say, this one contains all songs and WLL is uncut. Sound quality is almost the same as NLNF. Strictly speaking, treble range is enhanced on "Come Back to Boston", while bass range enhanced on NLNF. It's the matter of ones preference

LED ZEPPELIN - 1970-09-19-MSG (2 CDS) This release uses a good, clear, slightly distant audience recording. Because of the distance, the rhythm section's sound does get lost in places. Something happens before Heartbreaker's guitar solo that forces the relocation of the recorder. Fortunately the new location improves the sound to very good. The sound does drop to fair after the first cut near the end of Bring It On Home but returns to very good before That's the Way. The source tape used for this release is the same as the one previously used on Maui Wowie (Missing Link). However, this new release does have a few advantages over Maui Wowie. It doesn't have the speed up during Immigrant Song. The small dropout during Since I've Been Loving You is more pronounced on Maui Wowie with a second of non-concert chatter over it. Both have songs cut in the same spots, but the songs on American Woman are a few seconds longer with more between song chatter. American Woman includes Whole Lotta Love and Communication Breakdown. Unfortunately their sound drops to good with more noticeable tape hiss. In terms of overall sound, Maui Wowie runs a tad faster and its high ends were brought up along with a fair amount of tape hiss.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-01-Headley Grange I

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-01-Headley Grange II

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-03-06-Dublin Crazed Attack (Crazy Dream) Dublin, Ireland March 6, 71 (2 CD) This recording begins as an average, fairly distorted recording. However, the sound quality improves significantly by "Since I've Been Loving You". Unfortunately it soon reverts to the previous distortion. The equipment used by the bootleggers was seemingly overwhelmed by the Zep wall of sound. A certain amount of surface and crowd noise is evident throughout the tape. While the sound quality fluctuates constantly, some segments of this recording are above average and fairly clear. All of the instruments are discernable, though not as upfront as Plant's voice. Despite Plant's claim that the band needs some time "to get back on our feet" after a 6 month absence from touring, this performance is, as most know, quite devastating. "GTC" is cut very early, and the recording recommences with a distorted last few seconds of "WIAWSNB", which means "That's the Way" is likely missing as well. The WLL medley is one of the best ever performed. Unfortunately the sound quality has by this time regressed into distortion and an abundance of surface/crowd noise. As is the case with all of this source, at times the sound improves during this medley, and at times it slips back to below average. Robert explains the delay before "Black Dog" by saying the band had lost the "piece of toilet paper" they had written the set list on. An extremely violent version of "Black Dog" has Bonham trashing everything and Plant throwing in some new lyrics in an amazingly high pitch. The bootleggers are the Irish equivalent of the MSG '71 tapers, and at times ruin their own recording with obnoxious, unintelligible screams and ear piercing whistles; particularly early in the show. At one point in the show one of the bootleggers mentions "Johnny Kidd is down there". The packaging is a testament to cheapness. A plain white paper slip case contains the two discs. Creased in the middle and folded around the slip case (not even attached to it!) is a xeroxed photo of Page consisting of the set list and venue, which smells like someone spilled bong water on it. Likely an intricate part of the "Crazy Dream" label production process. Certain portions of this show are very enjoyable, but more often than not the sound quality is distorted and somewhat unclear. This is unfortunate, as this is an exceptional performance from a period of little to no live documentation. Interestingly (for those who do not have a copy of this show) prior to "SIBLY" Plant says "we'd like to do something off our third album", to which a member of the audience yells "Gallows Pole". Plant responds "Yeah, eventually". Prior to "Stairway" the same audience member is still requesting "Gallows Pole" to which Plant apparently responds, "Oh, we aren't going to forget that" to which there is a pocket of applause. Perhaps it was played in the missing acoustic section after GTC is cut? The controversy lives.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-04-01-Paris Theatre Return to Paris Theatre 1971 (2CDS), BBC, 1/4/71 "BBC ZEP" is told to be the most complete (but still contains one cut in WLL medley) and most excellent in sound quality, so this one is also recommendable. But I don't know why, but one surprising thing about this newly released one is that sound quality of Communication Breakdown is almost equal to the rest of the part, while on "BBC ZEP", is it slightly but inferior to the rest. So even though it is the knock- off, Scorpio made effort to EQ the inferior portion of the original, I guess. One interesting thing is the message from the bootlegger on the back cover of "BBC ZEP" is also printed on the inlay card of "Return to---". In that massage, bootlegger proudly said, "Now twenty three years later this release is the 'Final Statement'"

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-05-03-Copenhagen (2CDS) This release uses the very good plus audience tape source that has been used on several CD releases of this show. The recording is clear, but a little distant. This results in the rhythm section getting pushed slightly to the rear with Plant's vocals up-front and Page's guitar somewhere in the middle of the mix. There is almost no tape hiss on this release. The last two tracks drop a little in sound quality, but remain clear. Previous releases of this show include: Poles and Sticks (Black Cat), Loove (Tarantura), The Second European Tour (Whole Lotta Live) and Copenhagen 1971 (Cobla). Poles and Sticks does not have the cut in Dazed & Confused (its only advantage) but runs 5% too slow. Loove, and its CD clone The Second European Tour, are very similar in sound quality to K, b. The cut in Dazed & Confused is handled better on Loove, but a couple more seconds of material are lost to accomplish the splice. Copenhagen 1971 does not have the cut in Dazed & Confused and runs at the correct speed. Unfortunately, Cobla destroyed that release by over indulging it with too much high end equalization.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-07-05-Milan Short Cuts (Image Quality 1CD) VIGORELLI STADIUM, Milan Italy, July 5 1971.17 mins.Approximately.Track listing: Since/Black Dog/Dazed. Filler material ,the recording used is very distant but quite clear, distortion occurs when Plant shrieks. Honoring the title of this release, fragments of the riot at Milan are presented in a way that the listener hardly notices anything other than excellent playing to a quiet, appreciative crowd. A cut in Dazed preceded by some protests is the only evidence. The recording resumes and cuts out after a while. The fragment of Dazed is some eight minutes shorter than the one described in Luis Rey's book, the sleeve's date is incorrect.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-08-23 (2CDS) Fort Worth A recent find, a previously uncirculated audience recording of Fort Worth, Texas. This 2 CD set has the middle section of the show, starting at the Dazed And Confused violin bow solo, and ending a few seconds into Communication Breakdown. The end of Moby Dick is cut and there is a possible drop out in the Whole Lotta Love medley. The sound is superb, bright, mostly well balanced and only lacking in bass occasionally. The guitar/keyboard detail in Stairway is fully exposed; shame the guitar solo is a little cluttered with too many undeveloped ideas fighting for space. Celebration Day is fast with a manic solo and Page also lets rip in the Whole Lotta love medley section. Good Page/Jones interplay in That's The Way and What Is And What Should Never Be is a brilliant version. Definitely one to seek out.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-08-21-Los Angeles (2CDS)Wild Weekend From the show at The Forum, Inglewood, California on August 21, 1971. This audience source is almost the complete concert and is bright with some overloading and a little background hiss - the distortion increases at the end of the show. The drums are upfront, followed by the vocals and then the guitar and bass are more buried in the mix. The beginning of That's The Way is cut and the Whole Lotta love medley has a couple of dropouts in it. Virtually every track is played in overdrive, Dazed And Confused, Rock And Roll and Communication Breakdown especially. Even the organ chords in the intro to Thank You are played as 'stabs' rather than sustained. Everybody is on top form here, Plant is pushing his vocals to the limit and seems to be singing an octave higher than in the years to come. This set comes in a nice double pack called Double Clutch with the next night at The Forum.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-08-22-Los Angeles (2CDS)22-Aug-71 L.A. Freak Out From the show at The Forum, Inglewood, California on August 22, 1971. This audience source is the complete concert with only a small dropout at the end of What Is And What Should Never Be. The sound is clear, with a treble emphasis, some overloading and background hiss - the end of the show is more distorted when the audience is at it's most frenzied. The drums and vocals are upfront, and the guitar and bass are further back in the mix. Outstanding versions of Heartbreaker, Since I've Been Loving You, Dazed And Confused and Stairway To Heaven. Page does the business in Immigrant Song and Black Dog. The extended bass solo in Communication Breakdown is worth close attention.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-08-31-Orlando

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-03-MSG How've Ya Been? Riot At The Garden 1971 (3CDS) The recording used for this release is very good and clear with very little noticeable tape hiss. Unfortunately every comment made near the recorder is picked up too. Including the New York City method of asking someone to sit down and get off the stage. The recording sounds slightly more distant part way through Celebration Day. It brightens up after the cut in That's The Way. It also sounds slightly more distant from What Is & What Should Never Be through Whole Lotta Love. It brightens up after that song. This release sounds better than Mad Screaming Gallery (Lemon Song). Both are from the same tape source, but Mad Screaming Gallery contains a lot of artificially induced tape hiss. Each have cuts in the same places, but Mad Screaming Gallery has a cut during Moby Dick. The tape used for Mad Screaming Gallery also drags at the end of Moby Dick and during most of Whole Lotta Love. Immigrant Song and Thank You are better balanced on How've Ya Been. In terms of value, Mad Screaming Gallery did provide bonus material from what may be the missing section to the September 11, 1971 show in Rochester, New York to fill out the third CD.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-04-Toronto Maple Leaf (2CDS) This release uses a near excellent audience tape source for the entire show. The sound is a little flat, but is well balanced, near the stage and contains very little audience noise. Unfortunately all the between song chatter has been edited out. To make matters worse, due to the editing, all songs (except Heartbreaker) start at, near or right after their first note. This release also contains some tape hiss in the upper frequencies. But unlike previous releases from the same series (Cobra and Lemon Song), Maple Leaf's sound is not destroyed by heavy equalization. Part of this show is available from the soundboard (Celebration Day through Moby Dick). It would be a true day of celebration if the rest of that tape were made available.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-06-Boston

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-09-Hampton I don't know how this show compares to others, but this is very good, I would say even excellent. Immigrant Song's solos are exciting (for lack of better words, d'oh) but Heartbreaker is nearly Spectacular. Without inflating all the praise words, I have to comment Since I've Been Loving You. Usually live this won't make it up par with the studio version, which is packed with great "blue mood" and energy, especially the solo. Here it takes a bit of a relaxed side. This is where the songs come alive. Nearly like organic creatures, the stuctures of this song move and twiggle. I wouldn't say this was so very good version of this song musically, but the feel is there. The quality of the tape even more adds to the fact that this is pure fan stuff. Truly an underground tape!

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-11-Rochester

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-13-Berkeley Going to California II (2CDS) This is a very good to near excellent, slightly distant, clear audience recording. The snare drum does get lost in the mix because of the distance and the mastering is slightly bass heavy. But it's nothing that a good equalizer can't fix. There is also very little tape hiss. It's great to hear Plant hitting all the high notes including Stairway to Heaven's last section.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-14-Berkeley Going To California (2CDS) This version that appeared some time earlier (GTCA-7194CD 1/2) used a much better preserved vinyl source with hardly any evidence of a crack or pop throughout, whereas Shout To The Top's offering has its fair share of surface noise. Shout To The Top's version was EQ'd to avoid the original toppy sound quality of the recording causing a bit of dullness

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-23-Budokan (3CDS) From the first date on the brilliant Japan 1971 tour, the almost complete show on 3CD's at the Tokyo Budokan on September 23. New audience source for this show has better sound to all previous releases, sounding bright, clear and balanced, but the bass is a little indistinct. There are cuts in Stairway (at the very end) and the Whole Lotta Love medley, while What Is has some slight tape disturbance. The audience is very noisy and claps along to a lot of numbers and also joins in the vocals on Whole Lotta Love. Heartbreaker is storming and Black Dog one of the heaviest ever played. Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp is cut by the band and continues as That's The Way in a lower key and slower than usual. Whole Lotta Love features a superb medley and is nearly 40 minutes long. Communication Breakdown is stopped by Plant because of the audience getting out of hand and is quickly finished off by Page. Plant is in good voice throughout this excellent release.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-24-Budokan (3 CDS) set from the second show of the storming 1971 Japan tour at the Tokyo Budokan on September 24. New audience source for this show is superior to all previous releases, sounding bright and clear, only let down in places by some bass frequency overload distortion. There is one cut in Moby Dick. The audience clapping along is audible in a few numbers, and tends to make the frenzied Whole Lotta Love medley a bit difficult to hear. Plant is in good voice during Since I've Been Loving You, and Page really let rip in Immigrant Song, Since I've Been and Black Dog. Going to California features a long mandolin solo in the intro and Your Time Is Gonna Come makes its on stage debut in the Whole Lotta Love medley.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-27-Hiroshima . (2CDS) This uses the only source tape available, and is the only disappointment in the box set. The tape and therefore the CD runs about 4% fast, and is missing the three encore songs, so clocks in at only 137 mins.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-28-Osaka (3CDS) Two audience recordings comprise this release. The first tape sources the majority of the show running through Whole Lotta Love. The second tape source contains the last three tracks. The first tape source is clear, fairly well balanced and contains very little tape hiss. The instrumentation does get cluttered (not distorted) in places where sonic chaos ensues. Those places include the beginning of Immigrant Song, the return from the guitar solo in Heartbreaker and portions of Dazed & Confused. As a whole, the first tape can be considered very good. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the second tape source. Its sound is thin, hissy and wishy-washy. Fair at best. It is clear, but sounds like it's coming through a funnel. The sound improves slightly by Communication Breakdown. In an attempt to enliven a "dishonorably quiet" audience, the band plays a few cover tunes. Please Please Me and From Me to You consists of only 30 seconds of each song. Page quietly strums a few bars of an unfamiliar melody that Plant faintly starts its lyrics to before abandoning it as soon as he starts singing and doing We Shall Overcome instead. Two minutes of Down by the Riverside excites the audience the most. A cut after Down by the Riverside may have contained more cover tunes. Something different finishes right before What Is & What Should Never Be. Plant introduces Phil Carson on bass and Clive Coulson on vocals after C'mon Everybody. Certainly sounds like Plant singing C'mon Everybody. Perhaps Plant sang offstage while Clive Coulson impersonated him on stage as a joke. A small portion of the instrumental melody of Communication Breakdown does share some similarity to a small portion of the As Long As I Have You medley from April 27, 1969.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-09-29-Osaka (3 CDS) The sound is generally clear and upfront, starting off with a few crackles and there are cuts/drop-outs in Black Dog, Dazed, What Is And What Should Never Be, Whole Lotta Love and Thank You. It's maybe unfair to pick out tasty morsels in such a feast - but check out the guitar work in Since I've Been Loving You, Celebration Day, Communication Breakdown and the acoustic playing in That's The Way and Going To California. Well worth getting.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-11-16-Ipswich (3CDS) This release unearths another new audience tape. It is very good and clear with very little audience noise. It also contains very little tape hiss. The quality of the tape drops significantly at the end of Rock & Roll (alternate tape source?). It does gradually improve toward very good, but is slightly muffled and never as bright. Tape hiss becomes more prevalent too. The quality returns back to very good and clear near the beginning of That's the Way and stays that way for the rest of the tape. Plant's voice is in very good shape. His voice does crack in places, but he handles the ending of Stairway to Heaven without problem. Page plays a few bars of Black Country Woman as he tunes up for Tangerine. The tape does "crackle" in a few spots during Whole Lotta Love as notes approaching canine-hearing-only are reached. The tape ends during the guitar portion of Honey Bee. This release may use the same tape source as the one used for Two Penny Upright (Antrabata). I do not own that release but am aware of its cuts. They coincide with the cuts on this release. That release was missing the sonically inferior section between the end of Rock & Roll and the beginning of That's the Way. Plus it ended in the same spot as the cut in Dazed & Confused. However, that release claimed to be from the Birmingham show the next day.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-11-11-Newcastle First time out on CD for the show from Newcastle City Hall, Newcastle on November 11, 1971. The single disk covers the first part of the show to almost the end of the acoustic set. The vocals are upfront in the recording, with the instruments more distant and a bit more muffled - hiss is present in quieter moments. This mix coupled with a lack of top end means the detail in the guitar solos is lost in places. In Heartbreaker the guitar solo section features fast and fluid playing, and the solos in Since I've Been Loving You and Stairway To Heaven are played with passion. Plant's vocals are good throughout the show and the three acoustic numbers are excellent. Just about worth investigation by the general collector.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-11-20-Empire Pool

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-11-24 (2CDS) Manchester This release uses a good audience tape. It is clear and free of any close up audience noise. However, the sound is mono and positioned mostly in the middle frequencies with low end tape hiss. The instruments are not that well balanced. The vocals and drums are up front with the bass and keyboards in the middle and the guitar slightly in the background. The bass occasionally distorts the recording too. Plant's vocals are at their highest throughout this show. Page quickly plays the opening riff to Black Country Woman as he tunes up for Going to California. Though it is hard to tell, I believe there is a cut in the middle of That's the Way and Dazed & Confused. Page's acoustic guitar comes through very clear during Bron-Yr-Stomp as he demonstrates his control of the instrument. The sound drops to fair from What Is & What Should Never Be to the end. It is still clear, but the sound is very thin

LED ZEPPELIN - 1971-12-02-Bournemouth Heartbeat The recording is a fair, slightly distant audience recording that has balance problems in places (not to mention tape hiss). Only Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, What Is & What Should Never Be and Rock & Roll lack any audio problems. Plant is in excellent voice. For some reason he's left singing acappella after the Rock & Roll's guitar solo for a couple of verses.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-02-19-Adelaide Oooh My Ears, Man (2CDS) The first show from the 1972 Australian tour, at Memorial Drive, Adelaide. This 2 CD set is the best recorded of this tour being a bright, clear and balanced audience recording, obviously from close to the stage. Only the first parts of Tangerine and Moby Dick are present. The beginning of Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is missing and there are two cuts in the Whole Lotta Love medley which then end during Going Down Slow. Most tracks start with the classic tape speed up sound of the tape recorder being switched on/off. Some mains hum is detectable during the quieter numbers. The first 3 numbers up to Since I've been Loving You are very heavy, aggressively played which carries on into Since I've Been giving it a not very subtle feel. Page plays storming solos in Black Dog and Dazed, where Bonzo's drumming is superb. Despite complaining about 'Aussie Flu' Plant only has problems in hitting the upper end of his vocal range. Recommended for those who like the 'hammer of the gods' side of Zeppelin.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-02-29-Brisbane Alt 2 CDr set for the last ever Australian show at the Festival Hall, Brisbane on February 29, 1972. The audience source is a little distant, muddy with not much bass end - the drums are difficult to hear. What Is And What Should Never Be has a cut and at other points there are tape disturbances and what sound like clicks and even little jumps normally heard on damaged vinyl - Heartbreaker and Stairway are particularly affected. Immigrant Song provides a storming start, Since I've Been Loving You is very elegant, and That's The Way has to be restarted due to the unruly audience. Difficult to recommend over the Adelaide or even Melbourne shows from this tour

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-05-27-Amersterdam Dancing Bear (2CDS) As far as I know, the only previous boot of this show is "Running Bear" (2CD) from Gold Standard. Source tape of this new Tarantura release is identical to that of "Running Bear". Sound quality of this Tarantura release is better than that of "Running Bear", since bass range is stronger. In terms of the completeness, there are no difference between them, i.e. the last part of StH and the first part of BYA Stomp are missing, and there is a cut on MD.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-05-28-Brussels Burning Ticket (2CDS) This newly discovered audience tape starts off good and clear, but a little distant and flat sounding. Additionally, because of the mono recording, the sound is not dynamic. The instruments are each discernible, except when nearby clapping muffles their sound slightly. This occurs during Immigrant Song, the beginning of Heartbreaker and where noted. Up to a tape change after Black Dog, there is noticeable tape hiss in an upper frequency. This tape hiss can be tempered quite easily. The tape hiss, for the most part, dissipates after the tape change. The tape change and the omission of clapping around the recorder improve the sound to very good. The clapping does return for the beginning of Whole Lotta Love. It muffles the sound slightly. Page plays a few bars of Knees Up Mother Brown before Since I've Been Loving You. Plant stops Going to California right as hes about to start its vocals. He complains about the noise and the audience not sitting down. They then restart the song. A firecracker explodes during Dazed & Confuseds bow solo. Page stops soon after. This is followed by a cut in the recording during which he resumes his solo. When the rest of the instrumentation joins back in, Plant announces "Big Deal".

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-06-07-Montreal Red Snapper Deluxe (2CDS) Red Snapper Deluxe Montreal June 7 1972, Oakdale Theater Wallingford CT Aug 17 1969, and Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbus MD May 25 1969. The Montreal set includes Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, Black Dog, SIBLY, STH Going to California, That's the Way, Tangerine, Dazed and Confused, WIAWSNB, Moby Dick, Whole Lotta Love. Mono audience ( a bit harsh sounding). The Connecticut set includes Train Kept a Rollin' and I Can't Quit You. The Maryland set includes Whole Lotta Love.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-06-09-Charlotte The audience tape used for this release is very good and clear. There is some tape hiss, but it is minor and for the most part, dissipates by disc two. The balance of the instruments does favor the bass and drums slightly more than Page's guitar, but it is nothing that distracts from or distorts the recording. Plant's still high vocals lie somewhere in the middle of the instrumentation. He has no problems with Stairway to Heaven's ending. The recorder was obviously positioned close to the stage and away from the general audience since the only comments or nearby cheers picked up are those made by the tapers. They make some observational comments between acoustical numbers and discuss which tapes to use prior to and during the beginning of Dazed & Confused. At least they understood their craft. The group plays a few bars of Knees Up Mother Brown prior to Stairway to Heaven. A prior release of this show, Don't Do It If You Don't Want To (Holy Grail), used the same tape source. Don't Do It If You Don't Want To does not contain the cut at the beginning of Immigrant Song, but does contain the other tape flaws. It also contains most of Dazed & Confused on disc one then repeats it in its entirety on disc two. Its sound quality pales next to the IQ release. Holy Grail remastered the sound for the worse. Tape hiss is very noticeable throughout that release and the bass overpowers the rest of the instruments making the sound very muddy. Knees Up Mother Brown may sound thinner next to Don't Do It If You Don't Want To, but it is a cleaner and clearer sound.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-06-11-Baltimore The Axeman Of Cometh (4CDs) Supposed to be a lower generation source tape (audience) of the above show. In addition it includes a 'bonus' CD featuring part of the Seattle show held a week later. The recording is reasonably clear though marred by a noticeable hiss throughout. Whilst Plant's vocals pre-dominate, all the instruments are fairly distinct with the exception of the acoustic set, where they sound very distant. At times the audience is quite loud, especially during the acoustic set and a fair amount of general noise and chatter is picked up. Sometimes the taper seems a little exasperated! This is a great performance with a slightly unusual intro by Page to SIBLY and an overwhelming version of STH. The band is very tight and the audience loves every moment of it. Usually the LA Forum gig gets all the recommendations, but this is a worthwhile addition to any collector's catalogue and in my opinion every bit as enjoyable.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-06-14-Nassau (3CDS) First appearance on a triple CD set of the audience tape from the Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, New York on June 14, 1972. Disappointingly the listener is faced with a hissy. distant, muddy, compressed and sometimes distorted sound source. This makes parts of the acoustic section hard going. Also the occasional tape disturbance is picked up. There is a cut in Dazed, the end of Moby Dick and also Bring It On Home is missing, However the detail that can be made out indicates good Page/Plant interplay in Since I've Been Loving You and an emotional guitar solo, a great solo in Stairway, an epic That's The Way with vocal ad lib's, and an intense Dazed And Confused with an early version of The Crunge. This was obviously a great show but the less than idea sound quality makes it one for the hard core collector only.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-06-15-Nassau Long Island Line (2CDS) A double CD set to cover what was reputedly a staggering 4 hour show from the Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, New York on June 15, 1972. The audience source starts off a little distant, muffled and slightly 'phased'. The sound starts to become clearer during the Heartbreaker solo and then becomes muddy in places towards the end of the recording. The audience is very noisy apart from during the final two acoustic numbers, the start of Stairway particularly suffering. The tapes themselves seem to be the main culprits. The vocals are a little in the background for the first three numbers. There is a cut in Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, most of the Moby Dick drum solo is missing and there is a cut in the Whole Lotta Love medley, followed a bit of the outro chorus before a final end cut. From a generally excellent performance, Since I've Been Loving You and Stairway have epic guitar solos and the whole band make Dazed And Confused absolutely overwhelming. A classic from the eighth US tour.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-06-18-Seattle Sub Zep Another excellent audience recording from Seattle but from June 18 1972.The balance is perfect but the level of hiss is high in some places.The sharpness is again an issue here but not an inhibiting factor from the enjoyment in general.The playing is great but begins a little cold. By Black Dog things get really powerful;Since I've Been Loving You is very passionate and so is Stairway.Plant gets nostalgic in Going to California and includes many comments on how the ideals had been lost in his spoken introduction.He also ad-libs lyrics in reference to that matter.Worth having two incomplete tapes on one disc,with very enjoyable quality and at an average price.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-06-19-Seattle The Evergreen (3CDS) The quality of the audience recording used for this release varies in places. For the most part, the recording up to Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is good to very good. The instruments are all clear, but the bass and keyboards distort the recording up to Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. Tape hiss is also present. The audience gets talkative around the recorder in places, but respectfully quiets down for Stairway to Heaven. Plant's vocals hold up quite well at the ending of Stairway to Heaven. Slightly better than they will at The Forum a few days later. In fact, his voice still retains its upper range. An interesting conversation precedes Tangerine. "Is that a tape recorder?", passerby. "Yeah", taper. "Out of site", passerby. My feelings exactly. The taper also asks his partner to light a match so he can see "how much there is". I'm assuming he was talking about tape length and not about other popular items available at concerts in the early 70's. This would explain the cut at the beginning of Tangerine. The tape was probably flipped at this point. After the cut during Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, the sound quality drops to fair. The recorder has obviously been poorly repositioned. The volume and clarity (i.e. brightness) drop and tape hiss become more noticeable as the sound becomes muffled. The repositioning of the recorder will continue throughout the rest of the concert. The recording picks up a fair amount of audience screams for most of Dazed & Confused. They dissipate, for the most part, during the bow solo. The sound quality improves to good after the recorder is repositioned during What Is & What Should Never Be. The taper comments during Moby Dick that he hates drum solos, he "hates 'em a lot". The recording improves slightly during the drum solo but will vary for the rest of the show and never get better than very good. Plant's vocals are barely audible during Everybody Needs Somebody to Love. Boogie Woogie starts at a slow, deliberate pace then changes to a faster tempo. After the tape disturbance at the beginning of Heartbreak Hotel, tape hiss becomes more noticeable as it "breathes" in and out. The tape was probably changed at this point. The tape hiss eventually stops "breathing". The instrumental introduction to Money sounds like an attempt at the beginning of How Many More Times. The organ solo medleys will be better arranged at The Forum, but they are very effective and great to hear at this show. The sound of the second Dancing Days is very heavy in the upper frequencies due to the repositioning of the recorder.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-06-25-LA Forum This is from the famous LA concert from June 25, 1972. For some reason, this show has not been bootlegged very much. As far as I know the best version before this (and the only complete one) was "Burn Like A Candle". The performance is good, but not my type of thing, really. Plant's vocals are too high and too clean (I prefer the 'rough' vocal years ['73-75]) and they almost sound ridiculous during "Over the hills...". The whole band is in good form, though, but Page seems a little too 'plain' and refined. One of the best versions (that I've heard) of "Immigrant song". Good versions of "WIAWSNB", "Dancing days", "The ocean", and "Communication breakdown". The sound, on the other hand, is spectacular stereo (with good balance), but is a little muddy at times. Overall, a recommendation.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-06-27-Long Beach (2CDS) This a composite of audience sources, the first disc's sound quality is clear, discernible but distant. Still, the instruments come through quite well, with very good balance. Some quiet passages are barely audible, the acoustic set in particular, and yet Bonzo's castanets are clear during The Stomp. There's some audience restlessness during these moments but nothing that hurts the performance.CD2 has Dazed sounding muffled, only ten minutes worth of this piece, probably from another source. For What Is And What Should Never Be the sound quality returns to the first disc's standard, up to the end of the theremin section in the Whole Lotta Love Medley, where there's an abrupt change in brightness,balance,stereo separation and volume, all for the better. The sound travels occasionally. A poor quality source is used for Rock'nRoll.The performance is awesome, Page plays outrageous solos throughout the concert and Plant ad-libs more than usual, as the title suggest this is a wild event. Page plays The Tarantella(traditional Italian melody)prior to Since; superb Page/Plant exchanges in this piece. Plant is in excellent voice, he is particularly impressive in Blueberry Hill.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-11-30-Newcastle

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-10-02 (2CDS) Dancing Days The instruments are clear and well balanced except where PA problems reduce the volume in two locations. Plant makes several attempts for those high notes. For the most part, he is successful. He will have better success at the October 3rd performance. There have been a couple of prior releases of this show using the first tape source. Those include: Eastern Front (Great Dane Records) and Budokan Oct 2, 1972 (Patriot). The first tape source is slightly closer to the stage. It contains a minor shift in the balance for one second during Since Ive Been Loving You's guitar solo. But it does not contain the cut during Dazed & Confused. Eastern Front edited out all the between song chatter. The edit before Dazed & Confused does come close to clipping the opening bass note. The Patriot label release is the most complete with no edits. It is also brighter sounding than Eastern Front. But this is due to Great Dane Records use of noise reduction. It flattens the sound slightly, but is acceptable. Without any noise reduction, the Patriot release does contain noticeable tape hiss. But it is in a high frequency that can be tempered. The TDOLZ release also contains the same amount of tape hiss as the Patriot release. But it is in a lower frequency. Communication Breakdown, from a second tape source, has also been released on Wild West Side (Zosos Company). That tape source contains very little noticeable tape hiss and is very close to the stage with all the instruments well balanced. It is similar in sound quality to the Patriot label release. Its biggest advantage over the other two tape sources is the lack of anyone clapping over the recorder (at least for that song).

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-10-03-Budokan (2CDS) This audience tape source starts off clear, but bass heavy. The bass muddies the sound for the first 40 seconds of Rock & Roll until the volume of Plant's vocals increase in the mix. The bass does not distort the tape, but it outweighs the guitar in the mix during Rock & Roll. The mix changes for the better prior to Black Dog. The recording can be considered very good from this point on. There is also very little noticeable tape hiss. Each instrument is discernable and a quiet audience around the recorder helps with the clarity. The "nearby-clappers" join in for the beginning of Misty Mountain Hop (up to the vocals), Whole Lotta Love (beginning only), Immigrant Song and The Ocean. But surprisingly, only a little bit during Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp. The bass enters a little heavy for Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, but lessens. Plant introduces Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp with, "features the rather shatteredah transvestite vocal chords of John Bonham." Plant throws in a few lines from Blue Suede Shoes prior to Whole Lotta Love. The sound quality flattens slightly after the cut in Whole Lotta Love. It does improve during Immigrant Song, but it is never as bright as it was prior to the cut. A prior release of this show, Live In Tokyo (Amsterdam), used a different tape source. Both tape sources are clear and very good. But Live In Tokyo emits a high pitched hiss from one channel. It also doesn't have the amount of bass found on the TDOLZ release. This gives it an edge in sound quality for Rock & Roll, but for the most part, the sound is too thin. Live In Tokyo doesn't have the cuts found on the TDOLZ release. Instead it has two small cuts during Dazed & Confused. Each tape source sounds about the same distance from the stage (fairly close) and the amount of clapping over the recorder is about the same. The difference between the two releases is the sound quality of the encores. The TDOLZ release's sound better. Live In Tokyo drops in sound quality for Immigrant Song. This may have been the result of a relocated recorder coupled with a tape change as evidenced by a cut after Whole Lotta Love. The Ocean may have come from another, third, tape source altogether. There is a cut between it and Immigrant Song, a major difference in sound quality (more bass than the TDOLZ release) and increased distance from the stage. But it is not the TDOLZ tape source. What little audience chatter there is around the recorder prior to The Ocean differs between the two

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-10-04-Osaka Wild West Side (2CDS) A near excellent audience recording. All the instruments are up front and well balanced with the audience in the background. Plant's vocals are definitely showing signs of wear from the previous night's performance. Dazed & Confused is taken out of sequence and should have followed The Rain Song. The version of Stand By Me is a few generations better than the one on Let Me Get Back To 1972 (H Bomb). Communication Breakdown is from another tape source than the one used on Eastern Front (Great Dane), No Use Greco (Tarantura) and others. It's closer to the stage and doesn't contain any of the clapping and screaming over the recorder found on those releases. It would be great if the tapes used for the bonus dates were released in their entirety since they sound better.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-10-05-Nagoya (2CDS) Finally, the release of an alternate tape source for this show. This audience tape source is very good with the instruments clear in the mix. The bass is initially heavy and Plant's vocals in the background for the first 30 seconds of Rock & Roll as the PA is adjusted. But after the adjustments, the sound is very similar to other recordings from this tour. The audience is respectfully quiet during the songs. This helps the clarity since the recorder is a little distant from the stage. Tape hiss is almost non-existent on this release. Tape sources switch back to the original for the encore of Sakura Sakura and Thank You. It is thinner sounding than the alternate, but still clear and very good. There is a constant bump sound during the organ solo and the beginning of Thank You. Perhaps produced by the take up reel on the recorder. It is minor and goes away somewhere in the beginning of Thank You. A prior release of this show, Live in Nagoya (TOE), only used the original tape source. Its sound was fair at best and Thank You was incomplete. There is no evidence in terms of cuts or Plant's comments that indicate Over the Hills and Far Away was played at this show.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-10-09-Osaka Magical Dreams (3CDS) Two audience source tapes were used for the previously released boots of this show. One is used in very famous LP called "Live"(LP), its reissued title called "My Brain Hurts" (LP), "Stand By Me" (2CD), "Tapes from the Darkside" (3CD), and its reissued title from the same bootlegger, called "Let Me Get Back To 1972" (3CD). And the other is the one once used for the most part of "Live" (2CD, Tarantura). Among these boots, "Live" (LP) is the best in terms of the sound quality, but contains only 7 tracks. "Live" (2CD) from Tarantura is the second best. But regarding encore tunes (i.e. Stand By Me and Immigrant Song), "Tapes from the Darkside" and its self-reissue are better than Tarantura. In terms of the completeness, both Tarantura and "Tapes from --" are the same and both are almost complete (All songs are complete and uncut except WLL, whose ending a few seconds were missing). Strictly speaking, WLL on "Tapes from --" is only one or two seconds longer, but contains some wavering of the pitch in the middle. This newly released boots from Wyvern, partially uses the third source tape.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-10-10-Kyoto The Last Night In Japan (2CDS) This is the usual audience source from the last date of the 1972 Japanese tour at the Koseinenkin Kaikan, Kyoto on October 10. This time the 2 disc set is in no label CDr format and available far more cheaply than previous titles. The sound starts off a little distant, muddy, with bass distortion and some hiss. By the time The Song Remains The Same is reached the quality has improved and is clearer. The only cut is in Stairway up to the solo, where the sound becomes muddy again. A short gig, the highlights are Misty Mountain Hop and Since I've been Loving You, excellent versions of Song Remains and Dazed and also a heavy finisher Immigrant Song. However the rather cheap packaging and hurried nature of the performances pushes this release into the more dedicated collector's area.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-12-01-Newcastle

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-12-04-Glasgow Stuck On You First time on disc for the audience source from Green's Playhouse, Glasgow on December 4, 1972. The sound on this two CD set starts off distant, muffled, and well overloaded. The distortion does decrease after a while and there are occasional tape disturbances and volume fluctuations. There is a cut in the Whole Lotta Love medley. This is a hot show well receive by an enthusiastic audience. This is a Page's showcase , from the solo's in I Can't Quit You in the medley, Stairway To Heaven, Since I've Been Loving You to some very different lines in Over The Hills. The versions of Dazed and Black Dog are excellent. Shame the sound quality on this set limits it's overall appeal.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-12-08-Manchester

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-12-12-Cardiff

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-12-17-Birmingham Four Cards First appearance of this very good, clear and well-balanced audience source fragment, with some tape hiss. The playing is impeccable, foreshadowing the upcoming technically-excellent European tour of early 1973. Plant doesnt push his luck with his newly-lowered range, and obtains good results, although he (and, less frequently, the instrumental jackhammer) still overloads the tapers mic, strangely enhancing the impact. Page is totally in the pocket for this performance, accomplishing fully-realized vibrato, bends, slides and hammering, all with great sustain, just like on the records. The transition from MMH to SIBLY is both abrupt and seamless, and absolutely perfect. Minor audience chatter is audible during the more quiet parts, detracting from our enjoyment of a brilliant rendition of this favorite. It is also marred by strange sounds at various points - not digital errors, but perhaps the clicking sound of an articulated mic stand? After a classic ending, a heckler starts in, but Plant feigns misunderstanding, choosing to shill the new album that "has been finished for a long time... these silly record companies". As Page tunes down, Plant introduces a "very spirited little song and were lurching happily along into Dancing Days. Plant screams "high school!" right before the ending modulation, to great effect. A cut, and Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp is offered as an acoustic mini-interlude, at the end of which Plant plaintively calls Strider!. Plant introduces TSRTS, a song for whistling John Bonham, to no applause whatsoever - tough crowd! A flawless reading, but without the amazing introductory syncopation of drums, guitar and bass that will commence in 1973 and later be recorded most notably on the Listen to this Eddie boot. After the frenzy of TSRTS, the tranquil opening of RS is dramatic and welcome, but still no reaction from the frozen audience other than polite applause at the end. More shouting from disgruntled members of the audience, and in response Plant solemnly announces a police message: John Paul Jones. D&C, their evolving masterpiece, shows the band at their best, incorporating a super-fast interpretation of Rollin and Tumblin before drifting into the San Francisco segment. Our heckler destroys the quiet part of the bow section, shouting boring!. The tape fades out at 11:36 into D&C, just after the bow-slapping section. It will be nice to hear the rest of this show in 5 years or thereabouts. This release, a limited edition of 200 which might be subtitled No. 72 Live Special, is housed in an attractive, full-color bifold digipack; the theme for the artwork (by "Mrs. Stout") depicting the band as face cards of the suit of spades, with Plant the King, Jones as Queen (New Orleans?), Bonham as the Jack and Page, of course, the Joker Beelzebuth, astride a giant bee and wielding star-tipped wand.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-12-22-London Riot House (3CDS) This release from IQ uses a very good, clear audience recording. It is slightly distant, which dulls the sound a little, but the volume of the show and a settled audience make up for it in clarity. After the cut in the Whole Lotta Love medley, the sound brightens a little. There is the expectant tape hiss, but it is minor. Tape sources change for Thank You. The second tape source is from a very good recording taken closer to the stage. Thank You sounds thinner and contains very noticeable tape hiss. There are two prior releases of this show. Riot House (CHAD) and Riot Show (Cobla). The Cobla release is identical to Flawless Performance in terms of cuts and tape sources used. However, Cobla's release contains a very high pitched hiss during every song. It disappears between songs and during quiet passages. Obviously a poor mastering job on the part of Cobla. They also economized their release by switching Stairway to Heaven with Dazed & Confused in order to fit it on two discs. The CHAD release uses the second tape source. It only contains Stairway to Heaven to the end of the show. That entire release contains very little tape hiss and is more dynamic sounding than the first tape source. Thank You sounds better on the CHAD release. However, the more dynamic sound comes at a price. The tape is slightly overloaded from being closer to the stage. This occurs primarily during Stairway to Heaven and at the beginning of Whole Lotta Love. It lessens during the Whole Lotta Love medley. There is also some minor tape garble during Everybody Needs Somebody to Love, but no cut during Let's Have A Party or anywhere else. The audience around the second tape source is also more vocal. But most of their comments are reserved for between songs. The CHAD release also contains Bring It On Home from April 7, 1970 as a bonus track. Its sound quality rivals that of Groove

LED ZEPPELIN - 1972-12-23-London Xmas Mr. Jimmy (2CDS) Taken as a whole, not an outstanding performance by the band, they sound a little plodding on occasions. The solos in Over The Hills and Black Dog are good and the I Can't You section of the Whole Lotta Love medley is the highlight.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-01-02-Sheffield

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-01-07-Oxford (2CDS) The soundboard tape used for this release is excellent and contains very little noticeable tape hiss. The balance of the instruments does favor the vocals and percussion. But the guitars are not completely lost in the mix. There are 2 cue stops for Rock & Roll. Plant's vocals are in the process of healing. This prevents him from hitting those high notes at every attempt. He skips a few lines at the beginning of Whole Lotta Love (possible PA problems) and barely makes through the ending of Stairway to Heaven.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-01-14-Liverpool (2CDS) This is a very good stereo soundboard recording. The mix is bass heavy in places with the guitar pushed to the rear most of the time. The tape does run a tad slow and hiss is present throughout. The cue for The Rain Song is at the end of The Song Remains the Same. The Rain Song is repeated twice in differing lengths. The ending of Baby I Don't Care, after the cut, is garbled. It clears up at the beginning of Let's Have a Party. This is where a tape splice was made. A prior release of part of this show, Elvis Presley Has Just Left the Building (no label), has less tape hiss and bass in the mix and does sound a little brighter. Perhaps a better mastering job

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-01-15-Stoke On Trent Broken Fingers (2CDS) From the board tape, "Live in Stoke, England, volume one/two" (2CD, LZ 07/8), its re-issues, and Nasty Music (3CD) from Tarantura were previously released. "Nasty Music" was the better in sound quality, but from BYA Stomp to WLL were only on "Live in Stoke, England, volume one/two". Finally Tarantura decided to release full length version of this show from their own master, which was used for "Nasty Music". So, of source, sound quality is equivalent to that of "Nasty Music" and the best. In terms of the completeness as well, though a few songs such as TSRTS, TRS, and StH are still incomplete, missing portions are shorter than that of any other previously released stuffs. BUT I think "Best Boot Award" of this show will move to other forthcoming boot from other labels very soon, since much more excellent source tape is largely circulated now.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-01-18-Bradford (2CDS) First time on CD for the audience source of the early UK 73 tour date in Bradford on January 18. Without the evidence of the soundboard recording it would be difficult to tell from this 2 CD set that this is a standout 73 gig. The sound is dull, distant and distorted with only the guitar being vaguely clear in places. Nice to have the complete audience source on CD, but one for completists only.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-01-28-Edinburgh

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-03-06-Stockholm (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (3CDS) This release uses a good to very good, clear audience recording. It is distant, but not terrible. There is some reverberation in the recording due to the distance. Dancing Days sounds cluttered because of it. Page plays hints of That's The Way during Bron-Yr-Stomp. There are also feedback problems during Bron-Yr-Stomp. The Satisfaction introduction is only the beginning riff. The audience starts foot-stomping during the bowed section of Dazed & Confused. It becomes obvious that the recorder was on the floor during the concert. Page starts Whole Lotta Love with a familiar, light-hearted guitar introduction and starts Heartbreaker with a more "rocking" introduction. The Heartbreaker introduction almost sounds like a primitive version of Over Now from the Coverdale/ Page union. The Ocean sounds "thinner" than the rest of the recording.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-03-11-Rotterdam (3CDS) First time out as a 3 CD set for the audience source from an uncertain date/place. Diagrams have gone for March 11, 1973 at the Ahoyhallen, Rotterdam - but this date is still under investigation. The sound quality is distant, very muddy and distorted with signs of compression and a little background hum. The middle portion is a little clearer but during the Whole Lotta Love medley, right to the end there are severe sound problems with dropouts and long muffled sections. Good versions of Dazed and Confused and Heartbreaker, with some great guitar work on Black Dog, Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, Song Remains and Stairway. Also Plant's vocals are solid throughout. There are better sounding and played shows from this period on disc.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-03-14-Nuremburg (2CDS) Average-good audience recording, same as the complete tape in circulation but I wouldn't necessarily give it the 'poor' rating that Luis gives in his book. The CDs are from the same source as the tape I've had for years which runs slow. The CD recording runs very slightly fast and seems slightly compressed.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-From Boleskine To The Alamo

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-03-16-Vienna (2CDS) Aud This is a further attempt at presenting the complete show from the Stadthalle, Vienna on March 16, 1973. The two disc set uses two audience sources which start alternating at the end of the first disc. The first source starts off overloaded and bass heavy with some balance problems. This does clear after a while leaving the bass and drums prominent. The second source is more muffled and quite hissy in places and has a few minor cuts, with tape wobbles towards the end of the show. This is another classic concert from the 1973 European tour. Dazed and Confused is incredible with breathtaking guitar and drums interplay. Stairway To Heaven is another epic, and the vocals in Whole Lotta Love are very strong. This release is slightly better than Cobla's Led Poisoning and well worth investigating.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-03-17-Munich Sturm Und Drang. (2CDS) (Led Note Label) Audience recording. Two-CD set from Cobra's Led Note label containing almost the complete show at the Olympiahalle in Munich,Germany,on March 17 1973.This recording is almost excellent, taped fairly close to the stage with very little audience noise and virtually no hiss, the only negative points are: a couple of minor drop outs at the end of Rock'n'Roll as well as an unfortunate cut during a frenzied guitar solo after the bow episode in Dazed; overall the balance is very good but a little chaotic at times and has Jonesy low in the mix; this is a mono recording, consequently the sound is not very dynamic. On the other hand the proximity to the stage and the high quality of the recording make for a thoroughly enjoyable listening experience, as the band really plays out of this world with Bonzo and Page on killer form. Page's whimsical genius is at his best and plays unexpected interludes during Dazed and spontaneously adds Going Down Slow to the blues medley.Jonesy and Bonzo follow him without sweating, the latter gives his customary devastating performance. Plant is just a spectator. This is my kind of bootleg: unpretentious with great quality of both sound and performance no extra charge.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-03-19-Berlin

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-03-21-Hamburg Aud (2CDS)Suspended Animation This release uses the available audience tape source. The recording is good and there is very little noticeable tape hiss at its start. The sound would have been better but the recorder was a bit distant from the stage. The distance creates a slight echo that clutters the sound. The instruments come through loud and clear, but lack definition. A settled audience around the recorder does help with the clarity of the recording. The beginning of Black Dog and Whole Lotta Love are particularly effected by the cluttered sound, but they do clear up slightly. Plant's vocals are also effected by the cluttered sound. His phrasings get lost in the instrumentation. The mix also favors the instruments over the vocals. The mix changes for the better prior to The Song Remains the Same. The sound is also a little flat, but improves slightly after a tape change prior to Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp. Some noticeable tape hiss accompanies the tape change. As he had been doing for most of the European tour, Page plays a few bars of That's The Way during Bron-Yr-Stomp. It almost sounds like Page played a few bars of Layla as he tuned up for The Song Remains the Same. Plant throws in a few shouts of Cold Sweat prior to San Francisco (and later before the Whole Lotta Love melodies). Bonham tries shifting into The Crunge during Dazed & Confused, but no one else follows his lead. Not to be denied his efforts, he then launches into a battle with Page. It progresses into an exchange not heard since Bring It On Home. Furthermore, at the end of the battle, Page plays the chords that would have lead back to Bring It On Home's main theme. A classic in a classic! The theramin gets switched on (accidentally?) during the beginning of Whole Lotta Love. It's minor and lasts for the second half of the beginning section. But it does add an interesting effect. The D'yer Mak'er part of Everybody Needs Somebody To Love amounts to nothing but a few "Oh"s from Plant. Rock & Roll, Over the Hills and Far Away and Stairway to Heaven are absent from this recording. The inclusion of the partial Stairway to Heaven from the soundboard tape would have bettered this release

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-03-22-Essen Aud (2CDS) This is a good, mono audience recording of a really good show. The sound is very compressed and requires some tweaking of the surround sound to make it sound "fatter". Tape hiss is also present.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-03-24-Offenbach Custard Pie This release contains the entire show in amazing stereo. There are minor channel problems in Dazed & Confused, but that is minor. This is the last show in Germany on their European tour, and is considered by many to be their best. This is an amazing, slick, performance. The only negative is that Dancing Days wasn't perfomed at this show. All in all, this is the best edition of this show (so far).

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-03-26-Lyon

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-04-01-Paris Viva La France (2CDS) First time on CD for the April 1, 1973 show at the Palais Des Sports, Paris. This 2 CD set requires careful listening as it is distant, muddy, echoed and detail is often difficult to hear. There are occasions when the sound clears and the source sound closer. The starts of Over The Hills And Far Away, Stairway To Heaven are cut, as are the majority of the Moby Dick drums solo and a section in the Whole Lotta Love medley. This latter track suffers from a lot of overloading and volume fluctuations. However, the guitar work in the Song Remains The Same, Stairway To Heaven and I Can't Quit You (medley) is great as is the vocals on Since I've Been Loving You. The whole band makes The Rain Song and Dazed into excellent renditions but overall one for the committed collector only.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-April Fools Day

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-Led Poisoning

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-04-02-Paris

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-05-05 Tampa Stadium (2CDS) Taken from a very low generation tape, this is a near excellent audience recording from very close to the monitors with very little audience noise and tape hiss. The sound is a bit "tinny", but all the instruments are clear and well balanced. No cue stop is provided for Communication Breakdown. A prior release of this show from the same tape source, First Choice (Sugarcane Records), contained Rock & Roll through Since I've Been Loving You as bonus material for its April 9, 1970 release. Its sound quality is very good, but not as bright as First Day.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-05-13-Mobile Goin' Mobile (2CDS) Source tape is identical to "Upwardly Mobile"/"Mobile Dick", but has the following advantages: 1. Pitch is more accurate. ("Upwardly Mobile"/"Mobile Dick" runs too fast)2. Contains more chat (e.g. Bonzo's off-mike comment: "You ready, Jonsey?", just before R&R) In terms of the sound quality, I can hardly tell which one is better. "Upwardly Mobile"/"Mobile Dick" sound a little bit distant, which add "live concert" atmosphere effectively. On the contrary, audio of "Goin' Mobile" is very "raw" and the guitar and the vocal is clearer. When compared the violin bow section of Dazed, "Goin' Mobile" is more excellent in terms of channel separation. But it sound just like recorded in the studio. Both high and low frequency is more enhanced on "Upwardly Mobile"/"Mobile Dick". Since both of the CDs contains cut in the exactly same portion of The Rain Song, source tape is without doubt identical, but they may be differently mixed.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-05-14-New Orleans (3CDS) Johnny Piston & the Dogs New Orleans Municipal Auditorium, New Orleans, Louisiana, May 14, 1973.This release is taken from a very good plus to excellent stereo soundboard source. The manufacturer moved the finale to the beginning of disc one so this release could fit on 2 CD's. The remainder of the show is in the correct running order. There is a minor amount of tape hiss on this release too.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-05-16-Houston Snafu (3CDS)First CD release of this show. Page is brilliant, and Jones/Bonham are loaded for bear. Plants voice retains many of the pre-73 qualities that made him such a great singer - certainly better than his delivery captured on the official release TSRTS. Unfortunately, while listenable, the recording is distant, murky and the instruments bleed together; many details are obliterated. Also evident are occasional but unmistakable digital errors - very disappointing. Little tape hiss, however. Dazed & Confused stands out here, partly because great portions of the song exhibit stark instrumental separation or individual soloing by Page, unlike, for instance, The Song Remains The Same, which is rendered mushy on this tape by virtue of its complex sonic tapestry. Ive always wanted to hear what Rey refers to as the audience squeals during the transition between San Francisco and the violent bow solo [sounding] like they're begging for mercy under a rain of drums. Squeals abound but the dominant reactions are enthusiastic, guttural shouts for more of the mind-bending bowed necromancy. The crowd is rewarded with the trademark bow solo and an endless series of sledgehammer riffs, capped off by an insanely extended coda. The sound quality takes a turn for the worse during the Heartbreaker solo. Whole Lotta Love incorporates into the medley a rare, crushing version of the much- covered Im Going Down, featuring an outrageous Page solo that, because of the crudity and distortion of the tape by this point, conjures the fractured, Frippian guitar tones of Bowies Fashion. Overall: an essential addition to the complete collection, but there are a multitude of better-sounding 1973 shows for the generalist.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-05-18-Dallas (2CDS)Four For Texas Reissue of one of a group of 1973 soundboards, this is the show up to Moby Dick on a 2CD set from the Memorial Auditorium, Dallas on May 18. The usual excellent but compressed and clinical sound of a board recording has the bass and drums more prominent than the guitar for the most part. Celebration Day has slight tape disturbance, there is a small cut in The Rain Song and a long drop out in Dazed And Confused. By 1973 standards this is not a classic show, with rather mechanical playing and short versions of a lot of the usual epics. Since I've Been Loving You, Over The Hills and Stairway have some good guitar work., Celebration Day does not! As it's soundboard quality, just about worth getting.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-05-19-Fort Worth Tympani for the butter queen (2CDS) SBD Source tape is identical to "A worthwhile Experience"/"From Boleskine to the Alamo". Song List of the "Tympani---" is exactly the same as these previously released items. ("Tympani---" does not contains Dundee materials, which is on "From---". However, ""Tympani---"" has the following advantages. 1. Pitch is more accurate. ("A worthwhile ---"/"From ---" runs too fast) 2. Contains more chat (e.g. RP's "Good Evening!", just before Stairway)In terms of the sound quality, I can hardly tell which one is better. "A worthwhile ---"/"From ---" sound a little bit distant, which add "live concert" atmosphere effectively. On the contrary, audio of "Tympani---" is very "raw" and the guitar and the vocal is clearer. When compared the violin bow section of Dazed, "Goin' Mobile" is more excellent in terms of channel separation. But it sound just like recorded in the studio. Both high and low frequency is more enhanced on "A worthwhile ---"/"From ---". Since both of the CDs contains cut in the exactly same portion of Dazed, source tape is without doubt identical, but they may be differently mixed.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-05-31-Los Angeles (3CDS) Bonzo's Birthday Party The Forum, Los Angeles, California. This release uses a good, complete audience tape source. For some strange reason, the bootlegger altered the playing order of Communication Breakdown and The Ocean. They also wrecked this release by overindulging it with too much high-end equalization. This in turn increased the tape hiss. This only occurs during the songs. It is turned off between songs and during quiet passages. Except during the volume drop in Dazed & Confused where the tape hiss is louder than the music. If the tape had been left alone, the sound of this release would have been very good.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-05-31-Los Angeles SB Bonzo's Birthday Presents In what is surely a must have release, this 54 (almost) minute soundboard tape, is a great one. The artwork is a take-off on the original, altering the original title into "Bonzo's B-day Presents". On the CD (not CD-R) the image remains the same.The only gripe i have is that the disc is short, and there is a small drop out in SIBLY.This comes from a label that I have never heard before: Celebration Definitive Masters.All I can say is that if you've never heard a Zep boot, than this is a good initiation. If you're a jaded veteran, you will not be dissapointed. Sound is very very nice. Where's The Rest??

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-06-02-Kezar Who's Next (3CDS) Kezar Stadium, San Francisco, California, June 2, 1973. This release uses the now common audience recording that has been sourced for numerous new releases. The recording is very good to near excellent and from very close to the stage with very little audience noise near the recorder. It is an outdoor concert, so the sound does "breathe" a little. Tape hiss is also present on this release, but it's manageable. The show doesn't start right away. Equipment problems cause an initial delay. The equipment problems destroy the ending of The Rain Song with distortion (Plant apologizes for it). The beginning of Stairway to Heaven contains a "hum" from the PA system that eventually goes away. Comparing this release to The Vibes Are Real (Continental Sounds), Who's Next sounds better and has fewer cuts. The Vibes Are Real contains the same cuts as noted above plus the opening notes to Misty Mountain Hop are cut. The beginning of Heartbreaker fades up with the drums because Moby Dick was taken out of sequence. Stairway to Heaven also fades up. The Vibes Are Real used fairly high generation tapes that ran 3% too slow. I also compared Who's Next to first generation copies from the master tape. The two are virtually identical. Both contain tape hiss and have cuts in the same locations. The tapes do run 2% faster though. They're too close to tell which is correct.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-06-03-Los Angeles (3CDS) The Forum, Inglewood, California, June 3, 1973. The 1973 material is from a mostly excellent audience recording from very close to the stage. Some annoying audience comments are picked up, but they are minor. Most of the tape problems are bearable when compared to the portions that have speed problems which are unlistenable. Curiously, the speed problem nearly vanishes between No Quarter and The Song Remains the Same making Plant's comments the only listenable portion for the last 20 minutes of disc one.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-06-Chicago Second City Showdown (3CDS) This is an excellent, three dimensional stereo soundboard recording. This is one of the best soundboards available. The show itself is very rusty. As Robert says, "This is the first show of the second leg of our tour...we're a bit nervous." What makes it worse, the band are distracted by the rowdy audience, with many fights breaking out in front of them. Things get so bad that police (or security) begin to stand in the aisles before Moby Dick. Worse yet, Robert's voice is shot from the beginning of the show. In only a couple places does he try to stretch his voice. This is definitely a mediocre gig. It is worth getting for the historical value, and to hear the excellent soundboard recording

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-12-Detroit Detroit Rock City (3CDS) Three disc set featuring the Cobo Hall, Detroit show of July 12, 1973 and adding a small part of the Capital Club, Cardiff gig of December 12 1972 as a filler for the third disc, both from audience sources. Detroit is clear, very upfront and with a slight bass emphasis. Most of Rock And Roll and the drum solo in the middle of Moby Dick are missing. There is slight overloading in The Song Remains The Same and elsewhere in the louder parts and also occasional mike handling noise. This show is one of Zep's greatest ever, the playing and singing excellent. Page especially shines in Black Dog, Over The Hills, Since I've been Loving You, Dazed, Stairway and Heartbreaker. Jones features in The Rain Song and Whole Lotta Love. While Bonham is impressive in Since I've Been, Dazed and forcing a funky beat in Communication Breakdown. Plant has obviously recovered from vocal problems at Chicago a few days before. The Cardiff fragment is distant, muffled, distorted and bassy. The sound improves slightly for the Immigrant Song, but only Jones' Mellotron solo before Thank You has any clarity. However, this release is all about Detroit and on that score an essential purchase.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-13-Detroit Song of Detroit (2CDS) Detroit July 13th. The SQ's less flat than the old Babe I'm Gonna Leave You release on Dynamite Studios, but new source is longer at 96' compared to 53' for Babe... Dazed has the first minute or so missing, (this and STH are the only new tracks from this show). Dancing Days is just as incomplete as One More Daze, although Plant's intro spiel does confirm it as being from this show.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-15-Buffalo In Concert & Beyond (2CDS) Both soundboard tape and audience tape are available from this show, but this boot uses soundboard version. Sound quality is almost the same as "Misty Mountain Crop" (CD), but slightly superior, or clearer to "Outrageous Live!" (2CD). This one is recommendable because as far as I know, this is the first release of Dazed and Stairway from this show. But I wonder where the rest of the sound board tape is??

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-17-Seattle (3CDS) This is a very good to near excellent SBD source which is from Seattle 7/17/73 and 7/13/73. The performance is OK, except for "Dazed" which is GREAT (not the best, but still a killer). The Detroit fragment doesn't contain the one min. of Dancing days which is on the complete SBD tape. WLL is really cool, and is probably the best thing on this 3CD set. As for sound, it's not the worst board tape that I've heard, but it doesn't come close to a good audience recording, in my opinion.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-18-Vancouver Canada Dry This is a good sounding recording with a performance on par with most of the '73 shows. The sound is somewhat wrecked by the overabundance of tape hiss. A 14 minute version of No Quarter is the only highlight on this piece. Plant's voice holds up fairly well in this show.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-21 (2CDS) On the Rhode Again Civic Center, Providence, Rhode Island July 21, 1973 This release uses a very good to very good plus audience tape. It sounds like the tape had been digitally processed with too much reverberation (the audio "shakes" in places). At least the cuts in the tape are so well pieced together you don't lose the beat. A minor amount of high end tape hiss is also present. As for the performance, it ranks right up there with the LA shows. Plant's voice is in very good shape and the rest of the band delivers right behind him. The recording is clear enough (only a small amount of audience chatter is picked up) that each instrument can be heard.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-23-Baltimore

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-24-Pittsburgh (2CDS) This release from Pittsburgh July 24 1973 uses at least two audience sources which change throughout the show. The first starts off distorted, muddy and distant but does improve during Celebration Day with the drums now quite faint. The second source kicks in for Since I've Been and is clearer, better balanced and less bass heavy. Later the first source apparently returns with more tape disturbances and changes in volume levels. Dazed is faded out at the end. However, even with the CDr type track separation giving the listener a bit of a rough ride this is a good '73 show. The features are powerful versions of Since I've Been and Black Dog. Page's bow work in Dazed is outstanding as is Bonham's drumming in Song Remains The Same. The hidden song is that rarity Sunshine Woman. The slightly dodgy cover art - pseudo William Blake drawings of Plant/Page surrounded by flames, incorrect concert date and difficult listening in places makes this one for the more serious '73 collector only.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-27 The Safecracker's Show (2CDS) sbd.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-27 The Out of Song Remains (2CD) MSG, NY, Aud Audience version is also released recently. Song list is as follows: The Rain Song (fade in), Dazed, Stairway, Moby Dick, Heartbreaker-WLL, and The Ocean. Somehow distorted, just like the Houston tape of the same year, but obviously recorded from very near the stage. Comparing this one with "The Safecracker's Show" in terms of the completeness, WLL is complete and uncut on "The Out of Song Remains". But Moby Dick contains a cut, while it's uncut on "The Safecracker's Show".

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-28-MSG

LED ZEPPELIN - 1973-07-29-A2 ( 2CDS) The complete soundboard source from the final night of the 1973 US tour in New York on July 29. The 2 CD set covers the show up to Dazed which is truncated towards the end of the number. The sound is clear and upfront, with good guitar detail and the bass being particularly prominent. A little hiss is present in the quieter moments. On a few tracks the effect of tape compression causes the solo guitar volume to drop dramatically when the bass enters. Plant's vocals start off a bit shaky but improve. Page's solos on Black Dog, Over The Hills and Since I've Been Loving You are inventive with a slight raw edge. The bass work on Over The Hills, Misty Mountain Hop and the Song Remains The Same by Mr Jones is excellent. Dazed and Confused features skilful interlocking bass and drums and there are variations within in the usual sections. An illuminating document.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-01-12-Brussels It's Time To Travel Again (2CDS) Double CD set from the Voorst National, Brussels on January 12 1975, one of two European dates as a warm-up for the big American tour of that year. This audience source starts off very muddy and distorted with only the vocals and guitar solos being discernible, but does improve after a few numbers. However, there are disturbing changes of volume at unexpected times and Rock and Roll, Kashmir and Whole Lotta Love have drop outs. More distortion occurs on Trampled Underfoot and renders the Stairway solo too difficult to hear clearly. The performance sounds very rusty after the long layoff with more than a few mistakes occurring. Plant is not going for any high notes and Page struggles on the Black Dog solo but does play some nice wah wah flutters on No Quarter and a good solo on Communication Breakdown. Kashmir is very messy. Part of the blame may lie with the cold sounding and echoey venue. Bonham starts off When The Levee Breaks before Over The Hills incorrectly, but delivers the goods afterwards with Page apparently playing Steel Guitar. The short show with Moby Dick and Dazed not played is only really worth having as a curiosity.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-01-21-Chicago (2CDS) Live at the Chicago Stadium This is the best recording of the first weeks of the 1975 American tour. We hear the band trying very hard to put on an effective show. They were fighting many ailments: Page's strained finger (for which he developed the "three-finger technique") and Plant's flu, which he mentions several times in the recording. Also working against them is the cold reception made by the crowd, who were served a generous, but under rehearsed, from the soon to be released Physical Graffiti. After "The Wanton Song" Plant asks the crowd "Is there anybody there?" All that aside, I recommend this title for the rarities in the show. This is the final show in which they played "When The Levee Breaks", and it is a shame because the track was very effective live. My only criticism of this release is the placing of the tracks from the 20th at the end as bonus tracks. Couldn't they preserve the integrity of the sequence by placing them after "Moby Dick"?

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-01-22-ChicagoVideo

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-01-24-Cleveland Ultraviolence (3CDS) Premier release on a 3 CD set for the show at Richfield Coliseum, Cleveland, Ohio on January 24, 1975. This audience source is the complete show apart from a cut at the end of How Many More Times and the very end of Black Dog.. However the sound is distant, muffled, and distorted in the louder sections. There are tape disturbances in Trampled Underfoot and How Many More Times. The crowd noise is a bit overpowering on occasions. On the plus side this is a very good show, with excellent versions of The Rain Song, the rarely played Wanton Song and How Many More Times. Among the good guitar spots are the solos on Sick Again, Over The Hills, Stairway To Heaven and Communication Breakdown. Also the wah wah playing in the meandering guitar solo in No Quarter is outstanding. Unfortunately, the poor to average sound quality places this set in the hard core collector category.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-01-25-Indianapolis (2CDS ) Condition Breakdown Fragmentary audience source of the Market Square Arena, Indianapolis gig on January 25, 1975. The sound for the most part is top heavy, with some treble distortion but reasonable well balanced. A fair number of cuts/fades are present - end of Song Remain The Same, start of the Rain Song, beginning of No Quarter and also fading out both Page's and Jones' solos in that number, the middle of Moby Dick, Page's main solo in How Many More Times and the very start of Stairway. Plant's vocals are pretty poor and the guitar work on the start of Over The Hills and the start of the Stairway solo is pretty shaky. On the plus side there are good versions of Kashmir - despite volume fluctuations, and Rock and Roll. The guitar solos on No Quarter, Trampled, and Black Dog are worth catching and the Wanton Song could be said to be interesting! Unfortunately this release is unlikely to encourage others to explore this under-represented early part 1975 with it's reputation for 'performance difficulties'

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-04-Nassau

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-01-29-Greensboro A Quick Get Away (2CDS) January 29th, 1975 show in Greensboro, North Carolina. Is this the worst ever?? Listening to this show, one is reminded John Paul Jones' quote in the introduction to The Concert File: "At our worst we were still better than most. At our best we could just wipe the floor with the lot of them. It was just a very good live band." One can be charitable when listening to this show, and understand the state of the band in the opening weeks of the 1975 U.S. tour. The beginning of the show is very sluggish, and Plant's voice is very poor. But the show does liven up with an excellent Trampled Underfoot. How Many More Times is not that bad at all. It is a very literal 1969 reading except for the Dazed And Confused call and response section played BEFORE the violin bow. But Page impresses the crowed with his very fast riffs. Stairway To Heaven is very good (as with all of the 1975 shows), and the encores are also very strong. This title is definitely recommended. The tape is a bit distant, but very clear and powerful.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-01-31-Detroit

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-03 (3CDS) Heavy Metal Hullabaloo Madison Square Garden, New York, New York, February 3, 1975. The audience tape utilized for this release was recorded by the same team that taped the Madison Square Garden show on September 3, 1971 (How've Ya Been? Riot At The Garden 1971 (TDOLZ)) and the Nassau County Coliseum show on June 15, 1972 (Long Island Line (IQ)). This time around, their taping techniques have improved. The recorder is closer to the stage, the sound is steady and clear and there is sufficient amount of tape for the entire show. However, they constantly talk, yell, scream, laugh and produce strange noises directly over the recorder during most of the songs (noted as audience disturbances above). Rock & Roll is muffled and fair sounding. The muffled sound may have been due to low output from the PA system (someone yells out "louder" during Rock & Roll). The volume and clarity improve to very good by the middle of Sick Again. There is only a minor amount of noticeable tape hiss and the sound is very dynamic (similar to the June 15, 1972 recording). There is plenty of bass in this recording. But not enough to distort the tape. Plant's vocals are fair at best for most of the show. He does handle Communication Breakdown, the toughest song of the evening, with noticeable improvement. But he doesn't push his efforts.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-06-Montreal (3CDS) Three-CDs containing the whole of the show at the Montreal Forum on 6th Feb.' 75.The recording is nigh on excellent, occasionally there's a weird panning effect, some bass distortion at the beginning, variable stereo separation that makes some portions sound flat(particularly on disc two),mild hiss on occasion and audience noise. The show was taped very close to the stage so there's a great amount of detail to be heard. Fortunately, there are no apparent cuts in the pieces, only some between numbers. The tapers are noisy but restrain themselves while the band is playing; still some of their comments are annoying especially prior to Stairway, where they salute the piece with profanity and a "classy" round of burps. The performance is great with Page almost at his peak,Jonesy and Bonzo are awesome and although Plant is in poor shape he delivers cleverly with what's left of his vocal cords.Heartbreaker is played as an encore. Very enjoyable and worth getting.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-07-MSG (3CDS) First appearance on a triple CD set for the audience recording from Madison Square Garden, New York on February 7, 1975. The sound is bright and clear for the most part, but is a little distant and lacks bottom end. Although there are no obvious cuts there seems to be another source inserted into Dazed which has more bass and hiss with some tape disturbances, dropouts and speed variations. The first source comes back in Stairway then disappears again in Whole Lotta Love. On the plus side there are excellent solos in Over The Hills, Trampled Under Foot, Dazed and Stairway. On the minus side is Plant's rough voice and then Jones sounding uninspired in the No Quarter solo and Page running out of steam during his section in the same number. Overall a better than average show by early 1975 standards.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-08-Philadelphia (2CDS) Philadelphia Special The Spectrum, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, February 8, 1975. This is a good to very good plus, clear audience recording of a surprisingly good '75 show. Rock & Roll, Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog and Heartbreaker sound more distant than the rest of the recording (most likely due to the recorder being blocked by an ecstatic audience jumping to their feet). The recorder is also knocked around in spots (i.e. garbled). The sound does clear up during Sick Again as the recorder is better positioned. There is a minor amount of tape hiss in this release too. All in all, this is an upgrade to the tape Luis Rey reviewed in his book. There are a few spots with annoying amounts of nearby audience "discussions". What could anyone possibly talk about during a Zep show that couldn't wait until afterwards? As for the performance, Plant's voice has pretty much healed while Page's finger has definitely healed! The performance doesn't crawl like other '75 shows, it runs! Trampled Underfoot is proof of this. Plant adds a few new lyrics to The Song Remains the Same and at the start of The Rain Song. He sings "Take it easy" as something happening in the audience grabs his attention. Page enters late for the bow section in Dazed & Confused but ends the song with a new riff. Whole Lotta Love is an abbreviated version without the middle section. It goes straight into Black Dog with Plant singing most of its original lyrics.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-10-MSG

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-12-MSG (3CDS) New version of audience source tape from the classic Madison Square Gardens gig on February 12 1975. This 3CD set has a bright, clear sound with the instruments being well balanced - the sympathetic stings ringing on Page's double neck during Song Remains are perfectly audible as is every drum stroke in Moby Dick. The only drawback with this release is a little top end distortion on occasion and a cut in Moby Dick. The band play very well throughout the concert, with the overall pace being faster than a lot of the early 75 gigs - a feature being the impromptu version of That's Alright during Page's Heartbreaker solo spot. However, the sound of the bottom string on Page's guitar not quite tuned to D in the Moby Dick intro shouldn't put anyone off from seeking out this superb set!

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-13 (3CDS) Trampled Underwood Nassau County Coliseum, Uniondale, New York, February 13, 1975. The audience tapes used for this release are clear and push very good for overall sound quality. The sound for the first tape source is a little flat though. This becomes evident when tape sources change for the encore. All the instruments are discernable. Jone's bass does comes through a little heavy in places. But not enough to distort the tape. There is some noticeable high frequency tape hiss. It pretty much dissipates at the start of The Song Remains the Same where tapes are changed. Unfortunately the new tape drags and is not as bright. The speed problem runs through The Rain Song. It is hard to tell because of the instrumentation, but Kashmir may also have speed problems. The tape returns back to the same quality it was prior to The Song Remains the Same at the start of No Quarter. The high frequency tape hiss also returns. Tape speed problems are also evident during Stairway to Heaven. They go away after a cut between Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love. Communication Breakdown (announced as an old Led Faces number) comes from a brighter tape source. It too contains some high frequency tape hiss. Communication Breakdown is also available on Gems and Jams (no label). It comes from a higher generation tape and consequently is not as bright.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-14-Nassau (3CDS) St.Tangerine's Day This release uses a second audience tape source for this show. It contains the complete show and includes more than what is listed in Luis Rey's book. It is slightly better than very good. The recording is clear and fairly close to the stage with very little audience disturbance. There is also very little noticeable tape hiss. The biggest drawback to this tape source is the recorder's proximity to Jone's amplifiers. The bass distorts the first two tracks. It lessen by Over the Hills and Far Away, but is still noticeable. The keyboards also distort the tape when certain notes are hit. The distortion increases slightly during the last two tracks. Tangerine consists of Plant singing a few of its lyrics. He admits he can't remember them. The first audience tape source is good to very good, but slightly distant. It contains only Rock & Roll through the beginning of Moby Dick (minus Kashmir). It was released on St. Valentine's Day Massacre (Off Beat Records). St. Valentine's Day Massacre deleted Since I've Been Loving You and the available Moby Dick fragment to fit it on one disc. It contains some noticeable tape hiss and a small cut during Trampled Underfoot's guitar solo. But does not have any bass distortion and all the instruments are clear. And so is the person between songs demanding Gallows Pole, Tangerine and When the Levee Breaks.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-16-StLouis

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-02-28 (3CDS) Hang on to Your Heads Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, February 28, 1975. This release uses a near excellent audience tape source with very little noticeable tape hiss. The recorder is very close to the stage and all the instruments are well balanced. There is a fair amount of bass in the mix that produces a low rumbling sound at certain points. But it does not distort the tape and can be easily reduced. Someone nearby blows a whistle at the beginning and end of the show. Its only interference during the show occurs once at the beginning of Stairway to Heaven. For the most part, the audience is quiet around the recorder. Some muffled conversations can be heard during Moby Dick. Plant's vocals are at their worst for the first two tracks. He does improve during the show, but does not push himself.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-03-04-Dallas Solid Guitar (2CDS) I must point out that this is the best sounding unmixed board tape that I've heard (although still nothing spectacular). The performance, as I always thought (well, what remains of it anyway) is not too bad. The opening three tracks are delivered well as is TSRTS (great bass from JPJ here). The only real problem is Plant's voice which still seems to be recovering. Recommended if you like '75.

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-03-05 Live in Dallas (3CDS) Source tape for this newly released boot is identical to that of "Dallas Second Night". In terms of sound quality, these are almost the same, but "Live in Dallas" is slightly better and clearer, and moreover, pitch is more accurate. In terms of the completeness, "Live in Dallas" contains all songs, since it's the 3CD set, while "Dallas Second Night" is the 2CD set and does not contain Stairway, WLL, and BD. There are some cut in such as, The Rain Song, No Quarter, and Moby Dick on both of them. But the dropout during No Quarter is only on "Live in Dallas".

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-03-10-San Diego Symphony In a Thousand Parts (3CDS)The audience tape used for this release starts off fair and distant. Not until Rock & Roll's guitar solo does it clear up. From this point on the recording is good and clear, but still distant. The bass produces a constant low-end rumble to the recording. It can be easily reduced with any equalizer. This helps the clarity of the instruments; which are only discernable with the bass reduced. There is some noticeable tape hiss up through The Rain Song. It lessens with a tape change after that song. The audience is rowdy at this show. But those around the recorder are mostly quiet. This helps with the clarity of many of the songs. Plant is in good voice for this show. He still can't reach those high registers, but he makes up for it with his effort. The start of The Crunge is forced by Bonham and is not as smooth as it will be at later shows. Plant throws in a couple phrases from an unknown song after the theremin section of Whole Lotta Love (referred to as Feel So Good).

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975-03-12-Long Beach (3CDS) Trampled Under Jimmy's Foot A 3 CD set from the show at the Civic Arena, Long Beach on March 12, 1975. A basically reasonable recording which does have prominent bass distortion at various points i.e. Rock And Roll, Kashmir, No Quarter, Stairway and Whole Lotta Love. The Song Remains The Same after a restart has cuts at the beginning, middle and end, The Rain Song has a slight cut at the start, No Quarter has a cut after the last solo piano section then the end is cut and Moby Dick has a cut in the middle. The Song Remains is a storming version, Kashmir a triumph, Black Dog is intense and Trampled Underfoot a head banging treat. In No Quarter a good Jones solo inspires Page in his solo and the guitar work in Stairway and Over The Hills is excellent. An exceptional 1975 show even if the audience source has a few faults

LED ZEPPELIN - 1977-06-21-Forum Listen To This Eddie This is quite an outstanding recording. The audience can be heard very well, but they're not distracting at all. Actually, they bring energy to the show and really "live" up the whole sound. Oh yeah, the show is good. The beginning, the middle and the end. The acoustic set in the middle gives a little time to breath and observe what's going on. Plant's playing with the audience and it's very different from other shows. They're not distant, but there, on the stage, playing for the audience. Usually with soundboards the audience can't be heard at all so it gives quite aimless sound, like the performance didn't have any meaning at all. In audience recordings the show is distant or distinguished by the audience itself, like the music and the people wouldn't react to each other. But this, especially the acoustic set, has a really intime feel to it. The audience and Zep vibrate with each other.

Tangerine is played too slow which ruins the whole song, if you are wondering about this rare song. Dazed and Confused is great!
