I got it through Amazon today and cant see why some here would say they are disappointed. The chapter with TOE 80 is like 5 pages and of course R. Halfin gets his fill. Im not a big fan of shots laying across seperate pages but overall this is a great book. I wish it came with a slip cover to keep it pristene. It looks great next to my Jimmy Page by Jimmy Page. Thanks Steve found a copy. Im a big fan of DL and he is always gracious with my DMs and answers promptly. I would be glad to give him my $ I just have a hard time paying more for post than the actual product. I buy from all over and never get raked like that.

Mine is on its way here. . Anyone looking to get D. Lewis' "Evenings with Led Zeppelin"? He wants $60 for postage (US). . More than the price of the book. .thats insanity. .

3 Days After. . what a shame about the tape issues. .

They sold out 2 shows in Tempe and rocked the place! New LP coming out in the next few days and after Europe they'll be back. . Don't miss it!!:):)

LOL. . Agreed What? See the Led Zeppelin 50th banner every time you come on the forum? It's been up for a week. . Slow down Nirvana. . None of us are privy to what might be in store so lets see what happens but concerts are definitely not gonna happen (Id love to be wrong about this). .

A little off track but to the point about boots. I just recieved "A Memory Frozen Forever" 7.7.1980 Godfather Records 2 disc tri fold out from a seller on ebay for $26. Its an absolute beauty and was worth every penny. Granted it was off ebay but all Im saying is if 9.29 SBD was in this kind of format and sold for this much or even a bit higher up to $40 they would sell out considering the legend of the show. But given how expensive 3.21 was and this one following that path it just seems EV has taken a wrong turn somewhere. It didnt need to be butchered with a song here or there singled out, half the show (unless thats all they had), and no Plantations (which to me is a huge part of the shows). I have a lot of respect for EV and have a dozen EV silvers. Over the years they werent trying to take our wallets (too much anyway) and they put out a decent product but sometime over the last few shows the whole business plan seemed to change trying to hit homeruns instead of singles. About the price they paid Im not privy but I just got done reading about Freezer and the debacle that insude that came about with his AUD tape and he was paid $2000. for the masters. I know that 5.14.73 is not 9.29 but could EV paid anymore than $5000? Anymore just seems like a huge gamble considering how 3.21 went and how pissed they were about that spreading the internet. Just a thought. .

See what I mean though? Too many variables. They want too much money for a half a show! Not putting the other singles in with the show. . The leaflet telling the guy to fuck off. . lol I enjoyed it last night when I got it on the internet but I probably wont listen too many more times. No Plantations and hacked to death. . ehh

🙄 LOL For a great one. . I bought Snow Jobs for $70 and its killer. . 3 colored silvers in a tri-fold. . Why not stick to that style? Cant tell me that wasn't profitable. How many are you gonna have if they were all that price? That seems a little steep for me. .

What would you pay?

Well I see that everyone is bright and cheery today listening to their new boots. . bought or otherwise. .:) I have said that I own lots of silvers. And I also have every show taken from the internet. The music industry was in fact torn down because of music sharing no doubt. This is a 20 year old argument that got Lars crucified back in the day. Unfortunately music isnt what it was and it's all about that one big single and 15 producers on the tracks. I can speak for the few that when priced fairly people do buy! You come out the gates wanting someones whole check for a half a show, no Plantations, and single gorging ($60 a single) you are asking for trouble. EV is not going about this in the right way. Make them affordable and people will buy! It's not like file sharing just started so why is EV having the problem now? Bad management and strategy. . plain and simple.

The thing missed in all of this is the pub Taurus got and the money churned into their corner for this endevour. Im sure the profits are way up, no?!?. . I was a dj for 10 years . . heard music from the time I could crawl and got through 40 years without ever hearing a song, a lick, or even the name Taurus before all of this. What a crock. .nothing ever truer than lawyers gotta eat. .lol

I couldn't have said it better. . I have 2 dozen of their products and they didn't take samples out to gorge and they dont involve half a show. . Most of mine were less then $50 . .there is no reason to sell for more than that

Thay killed!! Came out on fire and the didn't let up. . I walked around buzzing from the show for two days. They are a must see!!

GRETA VAN FLEET TONIGHT!!!!!

100%. . People will buy . . if it's affordable. . Even the ones most can't afford still get gobbled up but to troll it out in this manner doesn't make me want to buy it. DEXM was completely overpriced. . I have 20 EV products and the most I paid was $70 for Snow Jobs in the tri-fold out. If it's got cool art work with let's say red CD's for $35-$60 people will buy them for their collections. If it's $380 not so much. . I'll wait on TTD

I can't see that EV doesn't have the entire SBD. . Why give them all songs but 2 or 3? They are playing games with the few of us collectors left and I get it. . Business is business but to not put the rest out now just to squeeze a few more dollars out of us is bush. .It's gonna end up on line anyway and to see the prices that are outrageous. .Make some collectors price and the rest affordable like eelgrass or moonchild. It feels like we are all chasing our tails. .I'm happy this is a show I'm content with the AUD:)

What?? When??

I owe it to Nutrocker for turning me on to to 6.11.77. .It sucks that NY 77 doesn't represent sonicly like LA 77. .Isn't it crazy that we all have different tastes when we talk about shows? I cringe when someone will say for example 5.24.75 EC is their favourite or the 2nd KW show was killer LOL. . All this chatter about the 9.29 SB coming out yet Im not all that excited. .I was stoked for the Seattle SB last year and was greatful someone gave it to me. . Now if only a 6.22.77 SB would come out. . . 🙏😄

I agree. . Im a west coaster so I would say the west is the best:) Yes they were loved in NY and they have MSG the greatest venue on earth lol:) It was and I guess still is everything to plat MSG and they had amazing shows there. . Thank the heavens for MM and the shows he recorded. . That first few moments of June 21 1977 . . Well we all know. . It's everything and a little more isn't it?:):)

I always liked this assessment of the 1977 tour Strider. . You did say Largo on the 28th which I havent heard since I got it 10 years ago and now Im gonna have to give it another shot. .I remembered it being "bad". . (always thought the 25 and the 30th were the best of the MD run) Couldn't agree more. . the 11th is one of the best of the tour but DAM can we have better audio for this run?? All the talk about 9/29 these days but I would trade that for a great sounding NY 77 show any day. .
