This. Any live recordings we have of Jonsey using the Alembic capture only a fraction of what the audience would have heard, and felt, in the arena. John Entwistle also used Alembics in concert. There's zero chance the bass players from two of the heaviest live acts of the 1970's would have used them if they didn't kick serious ass. Info on Entwistle's Alembics, including an interview where he discusses why he started using them: https://www.thewho.net/whotabs/gear/bass/bass7585.html

I still have some work to do on that show, so the version Jules has may be updated at some point.

Rick Rubin interviews Robert Plant:

Cool. I'm glad you were able to get them burned to cds.

I believe Bill Curbishly got both Jimmy and Robert the rights to their songs back.

I'm working on the 5/24/75 show. Here's a sample:

Great topic. For me it's 4/27/69, no question. Just a stellar performance, plus a bunch of songs that were never officially released, including a stunning version of As Long As I Have You. I really wish this was the show Jimmy included as the bonus for the remaster of the first album. Even though it's famous for a bootleg, there are still tons of casual Zep fans who have never heard it who would have been blown away by it like we all are.

It's more prominent than it was, but the software I use puts the drums, vocals, and bass in three separate tracks and puts everything else in a single track. That's not an issue for songs like Sick Again where the guitar is the only other instrument and I can modify its level separately from the rest of the instruments. However, in the case of Kashmir that means the keyboards and guitar are in the same track, which makes it hard to make one louder without amplifying the other at the same time. Also, I haven't heard the Cuztard Pi matrix, but if the guitar is buried in it, it's possible the guitar was low in the mix during the concert. If that's the case, it will be hard to hear in the soundboard and audience recordings, so the only way to really fix it would be with the multi-tracks. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like we're going to get to hear them, if they even exist, so we're stuck for now. However, the technology to split songs into individual instruments continues to improve, so maybe in the future it will be smart enough to separate the keyboards and guitar, which would make it possible to bring up the level of the guitar on its own.

Yeah, it's a killer show. Here's a sample:

Here's a sample of TYG from the 2/15/96 remaster. The show is done, except that I need to fix some of the quiet parts between songs. They get too quiet.

I didn't do a matrix, just remastered the soundboard. I'm finishing up a stereo remix and remaster of the 3/21/75 Zep show. After I post that, I'll post the 2/15/96 P/P show.

I'm glad you found someone to burn the shows on cds for you. I hope they sound good on your hifi.

Thanks. I'll send you a message with all of the links. You should be able to download them and listen to them without needing to burn them to a CD.

I'm really mystified by the lack of a full length Earl's Court release. There seem to be enough multi-tracks from the series of shows for Jimmy to put together the best stuff from them like he did on HTWWW. This was one of the things I was hoping would come out during the 50th anniversary. Maybe we'll get it in 2025 on the 50th anniversary of the EC shows, although I'm not holding my breath.

If anyone is interested in trying their hand at remastering, The Plugin Alliance, from which I get most of my software, has teamed up with a couple of other companies and together they are offering a ton of free software to kick off their new enterprise. Please note, I'm not affiliated with any of these companies beyond buying and using their products. Also, their offer ends on April 26th. https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/blog/blogpost/items/introducing-soundwide.html

Thanks for posting these. That first one from '73 is really cool.

I did remaster this show, although I haven't posted it here yet. I'm really happy with how it came out, so it's probably the next Page/Crowes show I'll release.

Welcome. Who are the most popular classic rock bands in Argentina (Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc.)?

I'm glad you like it. If you're interested, I did a few of the shows from 2000 that I'll post eventually.

Wow, you must have been bummed when the tour was cancelled. I counted once and I think they only played 16 full shows together before calling it quits. It's too bad more people didn't get to see them, especially given that it was the last time Jimmy was on tour.

Send me a message if you want the link:

Thanks for the kind words. I still enjoy working on the shows and hope to have some more available soon.

They focus on him so much because he is still far and away the most famous golfer in the world. He was well known in his prime even by people who knew nothing about golf, and then his life turned into a tabloid headline. Also, part of it is the reality that there's no other player who is nearly as well known as him to the casual golf fan that they can use to hype the tournament instead. Below is the list of current top eight golfers. I like golf and watch it a lot, but these guys are eight shades of boring. DJ is probably the only one known outside of the golf world, at least in the US, and that's because he had his own tabloid moment. The good news is that golf broadcasts tend to focus just on the people at the top of the leader board once the tournament starts. Assuming Tiger drops off quickly given his lack of recent playing time and his admission that walking 18 holes is going to be difficult for him, the broadcasters will likely stop focusing on him by Friday.

A few I can think of are shown below. I'm not sure which ones the Dogs of Doom were responsible for, but they are the driving force in releasing previously unheard Zep recordings. Thanks to them for all of their work: 7/5/1969 (audience) 10/17/1969 (audience) 11/2/1969 (audience) 12/6/1969 (audience) 9/1/1971 (audience) 9/28/1971 (soundboard) 9/29/1971 (soundboard) 6/21/1972 (audience) 7/13/1973 (audience) 1/18/1975 (soundboard) 3/24/1975 (soundboard)

Thanks. I just sent you the link, if you don't already have it.
