  1. I think we could get all the top shows that Jimmy still has tapes for if, definitely if, Jimmy would be willing to let other producers have a sniff of what's in the vaults. Considering that there's nothing after 1972(?) been officially released, stuff from 73, 74, 75 and 77 would be a goldmine.
  2. Hi Steve, could I get a copy of the link please? Many thanks, Dave
  3. Many thanks for the link Steve. As has been mentioned here, such a shame that When The Levee Breaks was played so few times. Every time I hear In My Time Of Dying played live I think 'if only'.
  4. I look at it like this, whilst there's collectors willing to fork out a $1,000 for a set then it's probably still worth groups like Tarantura's time to release these sets even knowing that they'll be all over the net in just a few days. So a big thank you to those with big wallets. Much appreciated.
  5. Hey Steve, can I get a copy of the link too please? Hard to believe that Jimmy's finger was still screwed listening that sample. Great stuff.
  6. This copied from the Led Zeppelin Newsletter. Hope it's OK to do this. Anyway... http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/630aa3cf5a3abeecdfa4ed28e7707a90?s=50&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D50&r=G Led Zeppelin isn’t releasing live recordings because the band members can’t agree about them by ledzepnews There's "no point" releasing Led Zeppelin live recordings because the band's surviving members "don't all agree" about them, according to Jimmy Page. Page spoke to Uncut Magazine for its its May 2022 issue. In the interview, Page confirmed the December LedZepNews report that Led Zeppelin has been working on an official exhibition, but revealed that the project has ended because the band members disagreed about that as well. When asked whether Led Zeppelin has considered holding its own exhibition, Page said that "there was something at one point. But all the members and people around the band couldn't agree. I was much happier doing my book and the exhibition with the Met." LedZepNews broke the story in December that Led Zeppelin's surviving members along with John Bonham's widow Patricia Bonham registered a business in the UK in 2018 as part of a plan to hold a Led Zeppelin exhibition, potentially using the name "The Led Zeppelin Experience." Now it seems that has been scrapped. Later on in the Uncut Magazine interview, Page was asked about plans to officially release Led Zeppelin live recordings. "Obviously, there is source material that could come out – but it seems the band don't all agree so there's no point," Page said. "I'd rather do my own stuff." Page also told Uncut Magazine that he hopes to continue his solo career. "I have got ideas and projects in mind – several possible things I could do – but I won't discuss them, because if you give one sentence of something that might turn into a lengthy project then people start asking when it's coming out," he said. "I keep my cards close to my chest with what I am doing, because I don't want to let the fans down." You can order the magazine here to read the full interview. Page and Plant both spoke about plans to release Led Zeppelin music in the past Page has spoken in multiple interviews about his hopes to release archival Led Zeppelin music. In 2017, Page hinted that recordings would be released in 2018. "There'll be Led Zeppelin product coming out, for sure, that people haven't heard,” he told the Academy of Achievement, "because I'm working on that. Next year will be the fiftieth year so there's all manner of surprises coming out." In February 2018, he told Planet Rock Magazine that "there's a recording that's another multi-track that we'll release. It's so different to all the other things that are out there. It's another view compared to How The West Was Won or The Song Remains The Same. I'm looking forward to people hearing that." In that interview, Page said he planned to continue releasing Led Zeppelin material over the next 10 years. "There's a lot of stuff to come out, a number of releases," he said. "I'd like to say that they'll be coming out over the next 10 years. There's more to come for sure." Asked around the same time about potential Led Zeppelin releases, Robert Plant was less committal. "There's a lot of stuff rolling around," he told The Toronto Sun. "It's a bit like water in the bottom of a paddle boat." Page again mentioned plans for Led Zeppelin releases in an interview with Sirius XM that was broadcast in December 2018. By that point, it sounded like the plans were more uncertain. "I've always got things in mind and I always think of things as a sort of schedule of releases over a period of time. I’ve never been, actually, any different. And, obviously, I would have ideas of things or projects which could go ahead, but, you know, it all takes time," he said. "Who knows what may come further on down the line? I’ll leave it … I don’t know. So I can’t really say at this point," he added. In the end, no Led Zeppelin live recordings were released for the band's fiftieth anniversary. Instead, Led Zeppelin released a seven-inch vinyl single for Record Store Day in May 2018 that featured previously unreleased studio mixes of "Rock And Roll" and "Friends". Led Zeppelin hasn't released any live music since the remastered edition of the band's debut album was released in June 2014. It included a bonus disc featuring a recording of Led Zeppelin performing at the Olympia in Paris on October 10, 1969. The 2018 remastered release of the live album How The West Was Won managed to remove two minutes and nine seconds of audio of Led Zeppelin performing "Whole Lotta Love" after Page cut the "Hello Mary Lou" section of the medley that was present on the album's original 2003 release. What was Jimmy Page planning? There has been speculation that Page's plan to release live Led Zeppelin material may have included soundboard tapes of the band's 1971 Japan tour. Snippets of those tapes emerged through unofficial bootleg labels in recent years, potentially as a side effect of Page digging out the tapes and considering them for an official release. Snippets of soundboard recordings of the band's September 28 and September 29, 1971 shows in Osaka, Japan began to emerge in July 2016 when bootleg label Empress Valley released the soundboard tape of "Black Dog" from September 28, 1971. That was followed by "Immigrant Song" from the September 29, 1971 performance in February 2018 and then "Stairway To Heaven" and "Friends" from that show in April 2018. A more complete version of the September 29, 1971 show was released in October 2018. Finally, an expanded version of the soundboard tape of the September 28, 1971 show was released in January 2020. Who is holding up live releases? Page's comments blaming the surviving band members for holding up plans to release live Led Zeppelin recordings are likely to spark speculation about who exactly is causing the disagreement. Clearly Page is keen for tapes to emerge, leaving Plant and Jones as the remaining culprits. Some clues may be found in an episode of The Vinyl Guide podcast released in August 2021 that interviewed photographer Ross Halfin, a close friend of Page. During the interview, Halfin was asked by host Nate Goyer whether there are good quality unreleased live recordings in Led Zeppelin’s archives. “Yeah, Led Zeppelin have the tapes,” Halfin said. “The band have the actual master tapes.” “There’s the live in Japan 1971 that’s never come out. There is Southampton 1973 that has never come out. They have stuff and then I think the original idea was Jimmy was always going to do a live album and call it Early Days and Latter Days which became a greatest hits [album]. “I’m curious to see if Led Zeppelin ever put anything else out,” he added. “I’m surprised they haven’t put out the Albert Hall on vinyl because they have the tapes of that. And there’s always the Southampton 1973 warm-up show, that hasn’t come out. I’d love to hear the Japan 1971 they have complete from the Budokan.” Halfin was asked why the band hasn’t released more live recordings. “It has to be agreed by all of them. It’s the same as Pink Floyd, it’s a band agreement and you’ve got certain band members that think it interferes in their solo career,” he said. Halfin's claim that Led Zeppelin live recordings aren't being released to avoid interfering with a solo career seems to point the finger squarely at Plant, whose solo career has thrived in recent years with multiple solo albums and tours along with his recent album and a planned world tour with Alison Krauss. By contrast, Jones' solo career has consisted of various short term projects and live performances along with plans for an opera which has yet to be staged. Jones told Mojo Magazine in its December 2018 issue that he "can't be arsed" to record a new solo album.
  7. Not in the UK. The age of consent in the UK has been 16 since 1885. I think it's the same age for the majority of European countries.
  8. Fillmore West - 1969-04-27 (Avocado Blues, Liquid Led) Vancouver 1975-03-19 (Snowblind 1, EVSD) Earls Court 1975-05-25 (When We Were Kings, EVSD) Plus an absolute ton of others!
  9. The problem with Jimmy is that he spends ages identifying even a second or two of music that needs to be flown in from another date. He is so.....I want to say meticulous but I think it's almost like an obsession with Jimmy to eliminate every possible flaw. The Garden Tapes articles demonstrate that very clearly. We have nothing live, officially released, beyond 1973. If Jimmy had trust in other people to take much of the work away from him we might see some official releases beyond 1973 (CD not video) but as long as Jimmy has total control I can't see anything new unless Jimmy starts to delegate.
  10. I didn't realize that Nite Owl was Steve. He keeps throwing out absolute gems of recordings.
  11. With Steve, Night Owl and Graf Zeppelin putting out some great remix/remasters I find that I'm not as hungry for soundboards as I was. And with dadgad, JEMS and Winston's ongoing remasters it's nearly all good. Yes, Bath is a must but as Steve said a while back, it's just not possible with what's available. From all that I've heard about that Bath gig, it would be something magical if Jimmy had the master tapes and decided to release them.
  12. Can I trouble you for a link please Steve. These reviews are making me drool.
  13. I've got his (their?) 27/04/69 and 04/09/1970 stereo matrix's - I may have more. They are of excellent quality and he/they along with Steve (The Stereo Project) have released some brilliant stuff. Haven't seen anything new from Nite Owl for quite a long time and was wandering if he'd moved on to something else. Haven't seen a Winston release for a while either - the last one I recall was his work on the 29/09/71 soundboard, How the East Was Won.
  14. Whoa! What a find. I wonder how much more live footage is lying in someone's basement gathering dust. I'll be 68 soon so I'm not too hopeful I'll see much of it! Meanwhile, while I'm still breathing; Jimmy, Earls Court live release; CD, Vinyl and Blu-Ray. Get it sorted! Now!!! Pretty please........
  15. I've got all the 77 Forum dates but I don't have the 26th and have never seen it available for download. I always assumed they had the night off. Thanks for the heads up.
  16. My understanding was that Terry had just signed a contract with Mickie Most that he couldn't get out of which is why he recommended Percy. Personally I think he might have been strongly tempted if he was free - being in a band with Jimmy page would have been hard to turn down. Love Percy and all that he's given us, I'm just suggesting that it would kind of close the circle if Terry were to become the front man at last. I can dream. 🤘
  17. Never. I don't have any of Zeppelins 'best of' albums. The albums as they were released are the only way to listen to non-boot Zeppelin. Someone mentioned It's the same with Beatles albums. True but they had a lot of songs that weren't on their albums so I do have a playlist for their non-album tracks. Having said all that it occurs to me that I could do an outtakes playlist from the reissued Zeppelin albums; create a Zeppelin album that way.
  18. All the talk about the 20 date tour after 2007 that never was due to a certain member nixing it. I know that Jimmy and JPJ had been auditioning vocalists but never really found the right person. Would be ironic if Terry Reid had a chance. Except for Mickie Most, Terry would probably have been Zeppelin's front man. He's still going strong and if Jimmy and JPJ felt they still had some mileage in them then they could do worse than do something with Reid. Not as Zeppelin of course but would be great to hear new music from the chaps as well as maybe seeing them live. I think Jimmy wants to get out there but he needs close friends around him, he could do a lot worse than Jason, JPJ and Terry Reid. This may already be discussed to death so sue me. 😁
  19. And it wasn't on ITTOD. 🤔
  20. Personally I'm not as desperate for soundboards as I was. With Steve's Stereo Project releases and Graf Zeppelins and Nite Owl releases, they do a fine damn job of making audience recording remixes sound as good as soundboards with some of their releases.
  21. No problem Steve. Happy to help even if it's only a little.
  22. I saw that there's no info file or tray cover with this release so there's no easy way to apply track name metadata to the tracks. I found the setlist in setlist.fm and was able to paste it into a text file. I normally do this by editing the info file and saving the edited file to songs.txt. MP3Tag has a really nice option where you can choose txt - tag. It uses the songs.txt file as input to the tags and works sweet as a nut - to think I used to edit every track by hand to get a proper song title displayed. Anyhow, here is the songs.txt file I made for Steve's 05/21 set so I hope it proves use for some of you. Just to add, Mp3Tag is absolutely the best tag editor I've ever used. OK, it won't let me to attach a text file so here's the contents that can easily be copied into a txt file of yours: The Song Remains the Same Sick Again (The Rover intro) Nobody's Fault but Mine In My Time of Dying Since I've Been Loving You No Quarter Ten Years Gone The Battle of Evermore Going to California Black Country Woman Bron-Y-Aur Stomp White Summer/Black Mountain Side Kashmir Moby Dick Guitar Solo Achilles Last Stand Stairway to Heaven Rock and Roll Trampled Under Foot
  23. There's been no new issue since #44. I emailed Dave but got no reply and can't find any state of play info on Dave's site Anyone know if the TBL magazine is done? Would be a great shame if it is as it simply an indispensable source of Zeppelin news and excellent articles.
  24. Hey Steve, this dumb SOB read 'June' when I should have been reading 'May'. What can I say. Sorry for being a PITA and thanks again for the links.
  25. Thanks Steve, very much appreciated.
