    So was the Vetch Field, Swansea show, at least in my house. The Who, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Little Feat, The Outlaws, Streetwalkers and Widowmaker all for £4.00 ! Happy days.

    Great lineup, caught it at Charlton (also saw the 1974 gig there). Also lucky to have seen Zep four times including twice at Earls Court and the second Knebworth date. Pity they didn't play bigger stadiums in the UK, but Earls Court was fairly big.

  2. Saw them twice at Earls Court 17th and 24th, I remember being underwhelmed by the longer tracks at the time, but listening to the bootlegs over the years actually enjoy them. First time I listened to No Quarter was on the  bootleg of same name a few months later and my opinion changed for the better.

    Still not a fan of marathon Moby Dicks though.

  3. Just listening to the Southampton remaster, sounds pretty good. I have various versions of this will have to compare tomorrow.

    Would love a link to the Earls Court 24th May when you finish it, was one of the two Earls Court gigs I saw, the other was 17th May, my 19th birthday!

    Never found the 17th in anything but audience recordings.

    Thanks for the links Steve, can't wait to listen to the others.

  4. Hi,

    As far as access to the music is concerned then yes, lots of stuff around now that you just couldn't get when they were still playing.

    I am old enough to have seen them four times Alexandra Palace in 72, twice at Earls Court in 75 and the 2nd Knebworth.

    At their peak in 75, but the others were pretty good as well.

    Still get annoyed that Page hasn't released more live stuff, but a lot of it is out there in good quality anyway.

    In the 70s I managed to get hold of 3 bootlegs, Blueberry Hill, World Tour (I think recorded in Montreal in 75) and one which I think was called Mudslide, only have Blueberry Hill now others long lost. Since then especially with the internet I have a large number of concerts some good some not so good, but nothing really compares with seeing them live in person.

    Yes I was lucky enough to have been a teenager (and a bit older) in the 70s and got to see a lot of the greats, but nothing really beat Zep at their best.

    Andy
