12.27.68 - Seattle. Never 8.28.71 - New Orleans. Never 5.19.77 - Baton Rouge. Maybe one day

Hmm. I've always felt the ones from the 1972 USA tour were the best. Most of the recordings from that tour aren't great but hot musically and I think SIBLY was at its peak here.

Landover feb 10 1975 new soundboard. Sound quality is excellent and it's a fine performance. The concert starts out a bit rough and sluggish, particularly the vocals, by the time they hit the solo in OTHAFA, they seem to be hitting all cylinders. Still a ways away from the level theyd hit the following month but I'd say this is one of the better/more consistent of the early 75 gigs. Shame the rarities were dropped by this long so we still don't have those songs from 75 in board or excellent audience quality.

08.18.69 Toronto rockpile. Evening set.

Very difficult to name a single performance as the very best as I believe there's probably a couple dozen shows that can stake this claim. However, if I was forced to choose one as the best or at least my favorite it would be 9.19.1970 evening show in New York. This show, particularly the last hour or so is beyond description. A few other of my faves that don't seem to get as much hype as some shows are 01.10.69 Fillmore west 04.26.69 winterland 06.15.72 Long Island 07.13.73 Detroit 02.14.75 New York 03.12.75 long beach 05.30.77 landover

9.23.1971 Tokyo Great recording of a tremendous gig. The atmosphere and levels of improv displayed on this first Japanese tour go almost unrivalled in the annals of live Zep

June 12 1973 Detroit

Fighting Back At The Coliseum - 2/13/75 - Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale NY Good recording of a great show. The band was in great form for the final three NY shows of 1975, IMO.
