lololabrute Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Now how could they possibly release a cleaned up version? Did they get a hold of the original material used by EVSD? Or are they using the EVSD disks to reissue the material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Dounim Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I've also been curious about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom kid Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Probably just trying to cash in with a so called 'remaster', but Godfather have released some quality stuff in the past so I'm not so sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Dounim Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Any developments on this? If it really is going to be a significant improvement, I want in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepster1979 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 No developments yet but I've spoken to the person who claimed to know a guy, who got samples. It's said the quality is close to the official live albums. I tried to get more info but he said he's not allowed to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lololabrute Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'd rather give my money to Godfather since they seem to care more about our ears and wallets than EVSD does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostbuster Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Godfather always seems to put out quality product. EVSD comes out with the shows first but Godfather really does nice work on improving the recordings when they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepster1979 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 True. When they released NYC 12/2/75 I thought at the start that this is another reissue but after as I listened to samples I realized it is something totally different. I hope they did the same for Nassau shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepster1979 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I am now listening to the first disc from February 13th. Beside of few extremely minor drops at the very start of Rock and Roll (due to overloading the tape/brickwalling that is obviously presetned on the original EVSD title), the sound is much improved, upfront and punchy/fresh. The spectrum is wider, drums are much more positioned on both channels and sometimes you can feel that sound is a tiny bit panoramic, which is a nice thing (at least for me). Sometimes it sounds just like officially released parts of Earl's Court gigs from DVD but with less reverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Dounim Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Glad to see your scanner is working again! Question: Is the sound on the 14th just as ear-splittingly overdriven as what we already have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepster1979 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 got mine today! What are your impressions regarding to the sound quality? My initial were great and I think they did a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Dounim Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The 13th certainly is alot...quieter, but noticeably crisper too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juxtiphi Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Back in Nov 2010 Some Internet Friends of Mine got their hands on the silver rip of St Valentine's Day Massacre and did a remaster, They named it Throwing the The Wild Seeds. It Seems Godfather Records Took what they did and put it out under their label as their own. Here is the original text file that came with the torrent which was posted in November of 2010. Led Zeppelin - "Throwing The Wild Seeds" February, 14th, 1975, Uniondale, New York, Nassau County Coliseum Remastered Soundboard Recording, (A Group/Personal Project) Lineage: "St.Valentines Day Massacre", (EVSD), Silvers > EAC > WAV > Flac > TLH, Decode > WAV > REM > Flac (8) Label: N/A Original Taper: N/A Disc One: 1) Rock And Roll 2) Sick Again 3) Over The Hills And Far Away 4) In My Time Of Dying 5) Since I've Been Loving You 6) The Song Remains The Same 7) The Rain Song Disc Two: 1) Kashmir 2) No Quarter 3) Trampled Underfoot 4) Moby Dick Disc Three: 1) Dazed And Confused (Includes: "San Francisco") 2) Stairway To Heaven 3) Whole Lotta Love (Includes: "The Crunge") 4) Black Dog 5) Heartbreaker Enjoy! Please Do Not Convert To Lossy Formats Please Do Not Sell Please Share With Others Notes: In regards to the title: Originally, we were going to call this show "My Bloody Valentine", partly as a reference to the day the concert was played, and partly as a reference to the noise rock band of the same name. In the end though, it just didn't work, so we tried to find something in the press releases, and the plantations, and we came up with "Throwing The Wild Seeds" from a Plantation made early on in the show. Hope everyone here will enjoy this. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepscoda Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I was just listening to the EV recording from the 14th this morning on the road trip from up north, love listening to live Zep while traveling through the great plains of Kansas and Oklahoma.....anyway, considering all the plantations during the show, I was thinking there could have been a better title that the "St Valentine's Day Massacre".......Throwing the wild seeds is PERFECT.

Hope everyone here will enjoy this. Cheers! Indeed. The 1975/02/14 show is a direct copy of something that was freely provided, after a lot of hard work mind you, on the internet three years ago. I find the rants of individuals who complain about EV and the cost and the subjective "harsh" sounds, and then praise Godfather about how great and cheap they are, when they are still making money off of freely shared tracks, rather amusing. If you never take the time to look at things from both sides it is impossible to educate yourself. The world of Led Zeppelin is huge - nothing takes the place of an experienced and seasoned 20+ year following of the group. Got to have a constantly evolving working knowledge of this band and their music, and who makes what and the source of this and the mastering of that. Don't assume you've got it figured out and that certain people are crooks and others are saints. You can have an opinion, but opinions aren't facts. Maybe I'm full of it, surmise what you will, but with Zeppelin and live recordings things are never what they seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepster1979 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I can't agree at all, ListentoThis . I already compared Godfather's version with the fan made production because I was too much curious if Godfather's mix is really a direct copy of the release and even if both versions are similar, I do believe that Godfather's mix is a bit different; however both are much identical in many spots.

Walter Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 What do you think about it, Phil? Compared to the 12th, 14th, and 16th soundboards that is. I haven't picked up a copy yet, I'm kinda tired of the '75 shows at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Dounim Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I haven't listened to/downloaded the 14th from this set (I have the complete SBD/AUD patch job, so I'm satisfied with that), but as far as the 13th goes, it's definitely worth trading in either the EVSD or dadgad version for. The sound is much, much cleaner and crisper. Definitely a huge upgrade. This is the only other Godfatherecords title besides 'The American Return' (1975/03/11) and Conquering Kingdome (1977/07/17) that would I regard as a 'must have'.
