Xolo1974 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone. Hoping you can save me a bit of time. I have 'Burn Like a Candle'. There's a boot called How the West Was Really Done....and I think the Winston Remaster is How the West Was Redone. There are extra songs on the boots when compared to HTWWW (e.g Tangerine, Thank You). My qn is - in the boots for the extra songs, do they use the audience source from Burn Like a Candle, or are they from a soundboard? Reason I ask is that I struggle listening to audience sources, with the exception of the Mike Millard recordings. Or maybe in this case Winston has cleaned them up a little? Appreciate any help guys. Cheers Edited February 19, 2016 by Xolo1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2632 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Gosh I wish we had this entire unedited show and Long Beach '72 as well on the multi track tapes Jimmy used on How The West Was Won!! It's a real shame he can't leave Zeppelin's fantastic shows alone when releasing them, and leaving Louie Louie (Organ Solo) ~ Thank You off or at least Thank You as Louie Louie may have caused copy right issues when releasing the album, but that was a glorious performance of Thank You that deserved to be heard in that quality... However, I'm not sure which copy of Burn Like A Candle you have as Empress Valley released it, then Tantura 2000 released a better sounding copy (to my ears) after. It's the audience recording you're aware of, but I would listen to it again with fresh ears as I think that's one of the better audience recordings!! It's certainly the best bootleg from 1972, though Sydney 2/27/1972 sounds great as well as some others from the year, but it still lacks bootlegs unfortunately. If you search this forum there's even a thread about how many fans actually prefer Burn Like A Candle to How The West Was Won despite the sound quality. BLAC is the full amazing show from LA '72 including Tangerine, the full medley in Whole Lotta Love, all the encores that made it a legendary concert, as well as a fantastic atmosphere that's captured quite well on the audience recording!! I have never heard of (until that recent thread about WR bootlegs here) or seen this Winston Remaster 'How The West Was Redone' or 'How The West Was Really Done', but I also would be extremely interested in hearing it as WR often makes the superior bootleg. We definitely don't have a bootleg recording of Burn Like A Candle on soundboard or anything besides the famous audience recording and possibly a noticeably better copy from Winston Remasters...

lcondo123 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Winston's remaster called "How the West Was Redone" is exactly the same material as HTWWW, just "remixed." He took the separate tracks from the 5.1 surround sound DVD and just did a little remixing, turning down the master volume a few decibels to get rid of the terrible "brickwalling" that's going on in the official HTWWW CD. If you're looking for more material, How the West Was Redone is the exact same as HTWWW. There's a transfer of the master tape from Long Beach circulating, definitely recommend that, it's the best sounding audience version IMO.

ledsox Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) I took the redone version by Winston (a very nice job by him) and added in the missing bits, songs and Plant patter from the 6-25 audience recording that was distributed on the old FBO list. A very good aud tape if not Millard quality. It worked well to make a "complete show". Yes, 'How the West was Re-redone'.

Dirty Work Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Just hold out hope my friend. The full shows most likely leaked around the time DVD and HTWWW were being done, and (what I believe to be Disc 2 of the Long Beach show) multitrack raw mix down exists, but its only 3-4 tracks IIRC. Sounds excellent. So its only a matter of time before someone slips it out/gives in. Pray that both are officially released in full before that happens though. Maybe a live download series. Lets keep our fingers crossed, blistering Led Zeppelin in their prime, 2 complete gigs from one of their best tours... Magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmywalnutz Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Does the Disc 2 you mentioned include Tangerine? I snagged a fragment off the net months ago and it included Tangerine and an 8 minute BYS medley. GTC too, if I'm not mistaken. I burned it but didnt save it. Really stunning rendition of Tangerine from a tad fuzzy but well balanced AUD fragment. I brought it to my shop to see if my friend could determine what night it was from, 22nd or 27th or something else entirely. He can't find it now. I have no reason not to believe him . The site I got it from was down for months and couldn't find it after that. Ob La Di.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Work Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 No, when I say I speculate that the Disc 2 of leaked raw multi tracks make up what circulates (sounds almost as good as HTWWW but is raw and has not edits or cuts) it is Dancing Days, What Is and What Should Never Be, and Moby Dick, and it sounds better to these ears than HTWWW. Sounds more like a soundboard of a modern day band. Its out there. Cough starship black beauty's site. Was on a bootleg studio sessions release or something like that. So it implies the rest could be hoarded, hopefully the band releases it before they do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Work Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Heres What Is and Dancing Days. Might be deleted if I'm violating any site policies.

Thanks again Many times I've considered this to be Jimmy's best live solo, a balls to the wall simple chord progression but blistering solo anyways, and could listen to the Orlando '71 Thank You over and over. Its like someone told him "you suck!" before they started the song. Haha Jimmy definitely proved he could burn through the Thank You solo like nobody's business in early years, making it less like Can't You See and more like Dear Mr. Fantasy, or something along those lines.

I've already got Montreaux and Southampton Cheers Those three incomplete Soundboards from the US 1971 tour (Hampton, Toronto and Orlando) are by no means audiophile's delights. A bit lacking in the cymbal department , but my empress 2 disc set is good enough. It was packaged 'bookstyle', like JVC's audiophile XRCD's (splendid sounding Jazz classics from the Prestige, Pablo and Riverside rosters) , but for quality I think all are more or less the same. As for the MSG 73 , no idea...I downloaded that one lossless Agnes ago and don't remember the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Work Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Little off topic but Orlando is much better than Hampton '71, on the latter the hi-hat is completely inaudible. They're what I call "excellent-, very good+" soundboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticks of Fire Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 To continue the off topic stuff, back when Hampton surfaced around 1990-1995, it was unmixed. The bass guitar was on one channel and the vocals, drums and guitar was on the other channel. And for a killer Thank You, check out Boston 1971. The last few minutes are prime Zeppelin.

Jimmywalnutz Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks for the link. I really didnt want to be the impetus of a site violation. But thanks. Couple of things going on here. There is a tape out there with a real real clean Thank You that cooks. Its Montreaux by a Net Source named the Robert Plant Experience. It was gone when I got around to burning it but it was certainly memorable. Vancouver 3/21/70 (T2) has a slow burn version of Thank You. Certainly one of my favs but it's one of those tapes that sound great through headphones and my portable Bose Dock but crappy in the car and on my component system. The Toronto 71 Fragment can be found on Godfathers High Heeled Sneakers and it sounds great. A little confused at first since HHS was Hampton Va. 9/9/71 and they list Toronto 9/4/71 as Hampton 9/4. I trust BootLedz on this for clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I had it then, was born a year before that timeline, but I went looking for it just to see if it sounded as good as the other mono versions, and eventually found most of it. I remember asking about it at the hotel... To quote Presence: "umm... why?" Have to admit it doesn't sound as good as the other versions that are now out there. Not to me at least. Sounds a little muddier. Besides, the bass sounds like its being played through a broken speaker turned up to 11. Its on youtube btw, Hampton '71 stereo or something like that as the title Edited February 22, 2016 by Dirty Work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
