I’m in for this, though I’m curious if it will be a more complete tape than what’s surfaced already (ie without the cut in “The Wanton Song”). EV has always had mostly complete ‘75 board tapes so I don’t see why this wouldn’t be the same, though maybe with it being the first night of the tour, whoever recorded it may not have been able to anticipate the length of songs versus the available tape. Regardless, I’m in for this. I’m holding out hope that it’s more or less complete.

My only issue with Burn Like a Candle is the sound quality, but ultimately I give it the nod as it is the full show unadulterated. I’m sure this has been discussed before but what version of BLAC do people like best?

I never skip anything. Ever. I am too young to have seen Zeppelin live, so I am grateful these recordings exist. I also appreciate and enjoy the virtuosity of all four of them, so marathon performances of "Moby Dick" and "Dazed and Confused" don't bother me. I even find the noise solos interesting. I always really liked the violin bow thing, so that probably helps as well. That being said, I can understand why others may feel that the longer songs can be grating.

Strider, Thank you so much for sharing your experience of being at this historic run of shows. I was born far too late to have seen the mighty Zep in concert. Your concert breakdowns, in conjunction with the Millard tapes, are possibly the closest a person in the 21st Century can come to really feeling the experience of a Zeppelin concert. To have an in-depth analysis of being at these shows is beyond cool, and to have them in such detail without being completely blurred by drug use. If you haven't already, you should consider writing a book, simply because you write quite well and, as far as I'm aware, there isn't yet a book discussing the 1977 North American tour.
