  1. excellent photos. Thanks for sharing. I don't think I have ever seen a stage floor like that in a Zep concert photo.
  2. Gibsonfan159 thank you again for these reviews. I have listened to this show (6/23/77) many times over the years, but not recently. Your review encouraged me to dig out No Quarter and listen anew. Such a great version. Parts of it I remembered quite, well but other parts were a revelation all over again. It was your description of the last sections after about 21:00 that had gotten me to listen again. Amazing stuff. Cheers.
  3. Another superb video and breakdown by Carl. Thank you for posting. I like the way he gives some of the live variations that Page does on various songs.
  4. If you had told me in 1975 that a Zeppelin song would be played on an NFL TV broadcast I would have said you were crazy. If you told me it would be Custard Pie I would have said you were really crazy. During the SF-Seattle game Fox played Custard Pie in the transition to a commercial.
  5. Carl's Zeppelin videos just keep getting better and better, though they have always been great. I like how he says how Zep was a swing and jazz band and that makes all the imitators so inferior. Another great point he makes is that if you listen only to studio Zep you are getting about 10% of their riffs and music.
  6. Carl's analysis of Zeppelin tracks is the best I have ever seen on YouTube. All of his videos are a joy.
  7. Steve thank you so much for sharing your excellent work. You have outdone yourself yet again. Superb !
  8. I recently rewatched the 1990 MTV Rockumentary and was reminded that some Seattle 77 footage is in that. The video and audio quality is better than any other version I have seen. The band must have supplied or at least approved its use. There is a note on the screen saying "live unmixed sound", a kind of disclaimer. But the footage is very good. So at least the band approved that use of snippets.
  9. There are some prior threads on this that you might find interesting.
  10. I saw Buddy Miller open for EmmyLou Harris in around 2003 in a small theatre. Buddy was great on his own then he played with EmmyLou for the whole set. His album Midnight and Lonesome had been released the year before. It was a fantastic show all around. Glad to see Plant doing these types of things. He is a real student of many types of music.

  12. Steve thanks so much. This sounds great. I think that the cut in Wanton Song is one of the great tragedies in music recording, right up there with the cut in Heartbreaker at RAH 1970. The bass in Wanton Song here is so incredible. The tones he gets on those bridge parts, especially leading up to the guitar solo. My goodness. You can certainly see where some Zooma and Thunderthief tracks came from all those years later. The immensity and intensity of Jones' bass playing continues to amaze me to this day. He is without peer.
