  1. "Trickier than a robbers dog" LOL." I usually go with the Collectors Review site but AA has proved reliable on inquiries. Passing on this one. Flagge is very hard to find but it is the definitive issue IMHO. Godfather is a let down but if adjust your EQ you can enjoy it.
  2. Thank you Sue. I really like your ear. Not in a Van Gogh way but you know what I mean. You should really "go for it". I can see your tapes being popular on a larger scale. TY
  3. Wow, I find the notion of doing my own Mixed or Masters intriguing but I can barely boot up. So , I ll just stick to listening to these and the others. I think they are great!! Would downloading them for personal listening be OK ?
  4. Just finished Texas 8/31/69. What a show. Jimmy is on fire!! Godfather is a great tape but I listen to The Nobs version more often. I m not sure on the sourcing but it sounds as good as Texas Blues and Texas International Pop by Liquid Led but less clicking. Whiskey A Go Go up next!! 1969 is short on material but Plants voice is just insane. And Jimmy is just so fluid and tight. JPJ s bass sound never sounded better. Did he use the Rickenbacher in 69 or maybe a fuzz effect? The lows on the bass tracks really sound incredible.
  5. I agree with EAPs Blueberry Hill being the definitive version of that show. Before that I listened to Winston's " The Great Love Affair" and before that TMOQs take on the show. EAP and Graf Zeppelin have been releasing some of the best boots I've heard . The later Godfather titles can also be included in that statement. Zepster was good enough to explain how these companies are focusing on quality and an authentic sound. As I stated in other posts I like to buy as many boots as I can for my collection . I recently purchased Graf's Fractured Ribs, it's a " raw " SBD of Texas 5/18/73. Graf also used the fragment from the 5/16 show to finish off the show since the 5/18/73 encores are not on the SBD. I LOVE the raw sound and wonder if this is what a bonafide low generation SBD tape sounds like ? Edit to say I agree Hampton 71 is awful. Hoping that Graf ( or anyone) can do that one some justice. It's a great fragment.
  6. Jane's Addiction and Halloween seems like a great time! Looking forward to your 3/3/75 review. I'm wondering what "new" release followed this show, I think it may have been the Tarrant County 77 SBD. That was a great release but not so much to have totally overshadowed a great '75 SBD and an even better show .
  7. I cant believe this release came and went without much fanfare. It's actually pretty hard to find for purchase. For me, it holds up very well against most of the later 3/75 shows like LA and Vancouver. The 3/5 Days Confused on EV is another Texas '75 show that doesn't get it's props. IMO , It's one of the best from the entire tour. The newer EV releases are all mastered by the WTH Twins with great results. Right now I'm listening to Motor City Daze 7/12/73 on Antrabata. But I'm definitely putting 3/3/75 & 3/5/75 on deck.
  8. Wow, That s pretty cool. I always assumed Godfather (or the people that would come to start GF) had gotten those tapes somehow. They eventually did use all that material on their label. I remember reading an article in which Jimmy didn't really mind Bootleg Concerts . I assumed he meant AUD sources, not the Soundboards that had been stolen from him. He made a point to say that stolen Studio Outtakes and Rehearsal tapes is what really bothered him. "With the shows you bought your ticket and , hey, it's fair game" I cant remember the rest verbatim but the latter (stealing outtakes and rehearsals) was just outright thievery. He made a great point.
  9. http://starship.jpn.ph/zeppelin/beauty/disp/pic.jsp?R_IDX=../../imagesB/SP-005B.jpgd This has Dancing Days and What Is and What Should,,, I'm not sure of the dates. I have not heard of a SBD for Moby Dick.
  10. Playing Dazed 4/2/73. Great version the tape not so much. I love the 75 and 77 NQs . Pre- 75 they were pretty consistent. The playing was real tight. The unadulterated SRS version recorded 7/27/73 is my favorite early NQ. I love the heavy Zep of the first few months of 73. Jimmy and Bonzo were locked. JPJ was intuitive and solid as always. Those heavy jams never made it to a US show. Landover 75 is pretty heavy as is 4/28/77 but nothing ever came close to Europe 73. Starting in 75 is when NQ became almost as improv as Dazed. No two the same. I like the jazzy ones but the boogie jam from 6/7/77 and 6/23/77 are my absolute favorites. I can't do 20 + minutes of Moby Dick. I do enjoy the shorter versions and Pats Delight. Dazed is just so good over the years. For me 3/27/77 is just too long and doesn't go anywhere. Seattle 3/21/75 is nearly as long but just so interesting and the For What It's Worth interlude is moving and dark. I would have loved to see that live. From the Dazed videos I've seen it had to be an awesome experience. Enjoy
  11. That was a great run too. But what followed was legendary. The Baton Rouge show has a great AUD tape. I like it as much as the great SBD. Listening almost nothing but Dazed and Confused 69-73. Trying to find the 5 best. 1/14/73 Liverpool on Godfather right now. The SBD is one of the worst. But it's a great performance
  12. New BBC disc one. I really love the sound. I'm so happy the overdubs , for the most part , where done in 69. Picked up LED ZEPPELIN DAY BY DAY by Marc Roberty. All about the music. Great insight on the BBC recordings. And every other release . It doesn't go much in to Boots but the author does make it known what is out there and dates worth seeking out .
  13. I heard a number of overdubs and have probably missed some. I only listened all the way through once. I thought I heard a portion of two guitars playing. I love the sound. I programmed the tracks from the 4/1 71 broadcast. Sounded amazing , better than the L'Olymia Show from The Zep 1 reissue. The missing WLL medley portions don't bother me so much. I feel in love with the tape without them . Still would have been nice. Im going to give all three discs another real good listen later. I hope the overdubs aren't too. From what I did hear it's not like the Franken Show 6/25/72 release. As great as the sound is I don't play it at all. Are the new disc releases considered SD CD ? The Stones and Bowie Remasters seem to have a bit more sonic clout. With Zep the new vinyl is on par with anything.
  14. Lol. I forgot about this. I bought the DVD too. I don't know how I missed that version of Rain Song on the disc but it's beautiful. No luck on the book but Argent Astrum has been pretty much on the money although I'd like more detail . Bought a bunch of Vinyl at a Flea Market and link was very helpful. Thank you.
  15. Vienna, 3/16/73 Remains Of The Holy on TDOLZ. I read a "definitive "copy of this show is due to drop. Supposedly all derived from Audience sources. Has anyone heard of a new audience source being found?
