greenman Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I remember this coming up once or twice in other discussions a few years ago but what would everyone consider to have been the ideal show you a Zep live album to have been released from back in the 70's? I add the qualifier of coming out in the 70's as I think that both makes the focus mainstream fans and perhaps puts limitations on what could be released time wise. The show that's always come to mind for me is the first night in LA on the 1971 US tour. Venue wise of course its perfect for the US market but I think that performance is really something that would appeal to the mass market, very energetic indeed(especially Plant) but also very tight rarely rambling. Maybe something like... Side A - Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, Since I'v Been Loving You, Black Dog Side B - Stairway to Heaven, That's The Way, Going To California, What Is And What Never Should Be Side C - Whole Lotta Love Medley Side D - Rock and Roll, Communication Breakdown, Organ Solo/Thank You I think that could well have gone down as the definitive live album of the era and couldn't really be accused of the kind of excess TSRTS was.

chillumpuffer Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The "Florida Sunshine" show in Orlando 31/08/1971 is tremendous and Genuine Masters "Orlando You Really Got me" takes it to another level. Outstanding times for the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shenouda5252@gmail.com Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 A colab of all the L.A. Forum shows 1977 would be the perfect live album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
