I have tried it and it sounds OK, but not as good as the 29th. It's such a good show that I'll keep working on it, but it will be a while before I figure out how to get it to sound good enough to release.

I'm still figuring out what to work on next. Current candidates are 5/26/73, 7/28/73, 3/21/75, and 4/27/77. What I normally do is make some trial runs on each one and then keep going on whichever one is working out best. You'll notice there are no 1980 shows in that list. I've tried to remaster multiple shows from that tour and I can't make them sound any better, no matter what I do. They don't respond to the things that work for the other tours, so I'm not sure I'll ever get one to the point where I'd consider it worthy of release.

The tide has turned for the better. Soundboards can now be remixed into stereo and remastered. It still takes some work to bring out their best, but technology has made it much simpler.

I believe he was trying to have each companion disc feature music that was contemporaneous with the original release date of the album it was accompanying. Because of that, this show would have been too far away from the first album to qualify.

Wow. Just amazing shots. Thanks for posting them.

Thanks. It took a while to finish the remaster, but I'm happy with how it came out.

Here's my buddy's review of the show: http://www.oldbuckeye.com/prox/p15.html. He's the same guy who wrote the stellar "Evenings with Led Zeppelin" book with Dave Lewis.

Thanks. I had a friend who went to this show, so it's one of the ones I'll eventually be remixing into stereo.

I sent you a private message with the link. You should see a notification at the top of the screen. Click it and it will bring you to the message. Also, you might want to edit your post here and remove your email address. It's not something you generally want to post on an open forum like this one where anyone on the internet can find it.

Thanks. The credit for that really goes to Jonsey and Bonzo for being such a great rhythm section. Also, hopefully everyone who has requested a link so far as gotten one. If not, let me know.

I finished the stereo remaster of the Sept. 29, 1971 soundboard. Thanks to everyone who provided feedback on it. Here's a sample. If you want the full thing, send me a message.

How about "Black and Blue and Snot All Over" from the Chronicles of Led Zeppelin label?

I find it best to approach the '77 shows as performances by a band of equals, not "The Jimmy Page Experience" like it was in the early days. You had three world class instrumentalists on stage, but in most of the recordings from that year it's difficult, if not impossible, to hear much of what Jonsey and Bonzo were playing, so the shows get judged on what kind of night Jimmy was having (Robert being pretty consistent night to night on this tour.) Once you approach it like that, it's much easier to appreciate what a great band they were. And it helps a lot when the recording is fixed up so that you can really hear what JPJ and JHB were playing. It lets you understand how tremendous they were, both individually and as a rhythm section, and how well they supported and interacted with Jimmy. Unfortunately, that's only easy to do when the recording lets you hear the low end because that's where so much of the rhythm action takes place, but when you can it's kind of magical.

Worth the money to us not to have to watch commercials. Peacock - Premier League Soccer\Football. They are taking over the Premier League package that was on NBC Sports Gold. Five matches this weekend and should be 140 matches next year. Free as a Comcast customer. ESPN+ - UFC and tons of soccer\football (Serie A, English Football League Championship, and top tier league matches from Denmark, Sweden, Australia. Also lots of US soccer.) Best US$50/year I could imagine spending on sports.

You did a nice job with the research, but you might get a better response to this if you ask Sam (the webmaster) to move it to the Musician's Corner section of this site. The people there will understand what you're showing, where most of the audience in the main forum probably think Super Slinky is the title of a bootleg and assume the guitar strings were named after it. https://forums.ledzeppelin.com/forum/17-musician39s-corner/

I'm still putting the finishing touches on the 9/29/71 show (basically trying to tone down the cymbals on a few songs without killing the high end.) I've also started working on the 4/27/77 show. Here's a sample. If the whole thing sounded this good I'd be very happy, but I'm running into a technical problem on some of the songs that I need to figure out (quiet passages get compressed so hard they become inaudible.) I thought it would be easy to fix but it's proven to be more of a pain than I hoped. I have a link for this one song, but not the rest of the show yet. PM if you want a lossless copy of the full song.

Thanks. I'll probably release the version you heard in the sample, but I always try some things at the last minute before I release a show to see if I can make it a little better. That's where I'm at right now with this one. Eventually I'll realize I should just leave well enough alone, but I like driving myself insane tweaking something that doesn't need tweaking

I don't think I ever finished it. It was more of an experiment to see if modern audience DAT recordings are easier to work with in a matrix than analog tapes from the '70s. Turns out they are a lot easier. There was no speed variation at all between the DAT and the soundboard from the show.

Thanks. The only luck I've ever had synchronizing anything was a Japan 1996Page/Plant show. That was easy because the two sources ran at the exact same speed, so it was just a matter of lining them up at the start of each song and then they would stay together for the duration. I tried doing the same thing with some Zep shows but the audience tapes never line up with soundboards, and even if you can get them in synch, they often quickly drift apart. That's one of the main reasons I started focusing just on remastering soundboards. I really like the way the crowd noise brings life to a matrix, but I just don't have the patience to do them.

Thank's. It's taken me almost two years to get it to sound like that, although two-thirds of that time was before the I found out how to remix it into stereo. I wish I could do these things more quickly and get the same sound quality, but it just never works out that way.

Sample of the 9/29/71 stereo remaster. I just need to tie up a couple of loose ends and then I'll post it.
