That's awesome Bong Man! Thanks. Can you give more details about the sound during the show? You say there wasn't a "Oh my ears, man!" moment... Just how loud and clear was it and how'd Bonham's stainless kit sound? I've heard the stainless gave off a much more pronounce "boom" sound... His drums in Cleveland on the 28th sound absolutely spectacular. Did the Silverdome just make his kit sound worse (muffled), like you say? Lucky bastard having seen Zep Live! Wow. Envy you, Bong Man.

Yep. Don't get this mentality at all. Never have and I never, EVER, will. Let the tapes be heard!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, yeah... a pic of tapes and CD's... Hopefully it gets released.

It looks like it is. But word over at R-O is the guy has ZERO intentions of letting the audio get out. Sad.

And just like that a recording of 5/4/1971 from Denmark with a phenomenal set-list shows up!! Incredible.

This video, along with other hoarded shows and what actually might be out there sure has gotten a lot of attention the last few weeks, on this board and over at R-O. Sure would be nice to see a list of shows that are actually out there..., waiting for release or even collecting dust. I'd really love to know.

This is a live Zep tune I literally NEVER skip thru. Love it. All of them... especially the '77 versions. The 4/28/77 version, as Luis Rey puts it, is "drama and theatrics at its best". 7:22 to 7:40 is just fantastic.

6/19/72. A much better recording than it gets credit for. I could listen to this show/recording every day for a year and not get tired of it. That summer 72 tour was just blistering, brilliant stuff.

Bonham's playing on this is staggering. He overpowers EVERYONE on this version.

Bonzo's Birthday Matrix - a Slumpy production. Happy Birthday Bonzo!

That is a phenomenal pic. My God, I wish we had a recording of Moby Dick from this show. DAMNIT, why wasn't this professionally recorded!!!??????

Oct 25th, 1969 at the Boston Garden... Hoarded?? We've got a ton of great stuff from Boston... All the Tea Party shows. The great September 70 and 71 shows. And the 73 show. I'd be willing to bet the October 25th, 1969 show exists. And the Carnegie Hall show has always intrigued me. I mean, the first rock show there in 5 years-at the prestigious Carnegie Hall-and you're NOT going to professionally record it? And if it is being hoarded that's a damn shame. The reviews of that show make it sound like that was one KILLER Zeppelin show.

This would be a fantastic show to someday have. Why this wasn't professionally recorded is beyond me.

The 77 versions are EPIC. Also love the 4/28/77 version. Obviously Jimmy isn't 72/73 Jimmy... but the 77 versions are EPIC, GRAND performances. The 2nd night in Cleveland is spectacular (Bonzo is REALLY, REALLY good).

I'd agree with everything mentioned, and I know you don't want 69-72 mentioned, but I've just got to throw this out here since there are references to 6/19/72 in Seattle. Those two Nassau shows are PHENOMENAL! The start of that 6/15 show is Zep in all their glory. And that D&C is pure ZEPPELIN NASTINESS! And to me, both those audience recordings are better than the credit they get. Very listenable to me. Both are on my Holy Grail list. But if I could pick a few sbd's from 73-77 it'd be: 6/3/73; the January 75 Chicago shows; 4/28/77 (would love to compare this board to the previous night's board) and I agree with your choice for the LA run... that 6/22/77 show is highly underrated due to its source. That show is badass.
