    It’s amazing to throw some headphones on and listen to our band in all of their glory, I am reading The “Beast” currently and it is one of my favorite books about the band and JHB, but listening to early recordings really does let you know that they were truly as Jimmy says 4 master musicians, they were beyond fortunate to have JPJ, and JHB driving them along. With headphones this show really lets us know what those gentlemen were capable of doing on a decent or great night. We will never have anything like that again. Godbless this group of men and what they gave to us. 

    Amen to all of that.

  3. Definitely one of my favourite tours by the band , with some really great nights that, for me, rank alongside their best earlier shows. Recently caught up again with two performances that sometimes get overlooked, Inglewood Forum/L.A. Forum , June 25th and 27th, and both are great listens.

    Anybody else feel there’s not much left to learn about our favorite band? Have read countless books, articles, live tapes, interviews… sadly I don’t know what’s left to learn.

     have some new info on LZ? Something you’ve learned recently?

    Every day is a school day, my friend. Many people mused for years whether the band did ever really play Carnegie Hall, for example. Some said yes, others said no, and then out of the blue turns up an actual recording of the event. Keep looking, keep reading and keep rummaging around.

  5. After revisiting Stephen Davis book, 'LZ-75', I've been listening again to some of the shows he writes about during his time following the band on tour that year. So far it's been Madison Square Garden, New York on Feb. 7th, followed by the Olympia Stadium, Detroit on Jan 31st. San Diego Sports Arena on March 10th is probably going to be next. It was a hell of a year, with some terrific concerts, when the band was probably at its commercial peak.

  6. First bit of illicit live Led Zeppelin I ever had. It was a tape swap, older readers might remember those, and the show was recorded on two 90minute cassette's which I've still got in my home made cover. Not really the best recording, some of the soundboard/mixing desk tapes can have a very dry, almost dead sound and I much prefer the ambience of a good audience recording. Nevertheless, it was Led Zeppelin live with no overdubs or studio making good and was exactly what was played on the night in Cleveland. I suspect a lot of older fans would have got into the listening and collecting of live shows by the band through titles like 'Destroyer', 'Mudslide' and 'Going To California", etc.

    1977 seems to be the winner.

    I love the bands live sets from '69, full of power, subtlety, folk and the blues. '77 though is really my favourite. Their set list really ran through the full range of the music the band had made up to that point and was an absolute killer. Add that to the venue and, as we all now know, you had some of the greatest shows of the bands career.
