What a beautiful ship. Don't think the USA has anything to compare.
I partied on this vessel back in the late 90's / early 00's at my works Christmas party. Was a fantastic night. I hope someone can keep this thing in place and profitable. And a few times my mum would take us the the zoo on the ferry. Such great memories...

You were lucky enough to grow up in the greatest musically creative period in human history you lucky bugger. And Zep were the BEST.

I guess that YouTube channels featuring people reacting to their first time listening to various music have become very popular. But when, via algorithm suggestions (I guess), I get suggestions that feature people watching Zep, I sometimes cringe. Please don't watch DAC live and try to judge Zep by that. You really have to be STONED. And if you're not, you're NOT going to get it. Not throwing shade on the musicianship, but it's just a thing, ya know? I can dig it now, scrait (never go "straight," go scrait, yes?) but to be exposed to it for the first time, and scrait, no way. It's just not going to work. Even the studio version is best listened to with a bit of a bent mind. One can certainly gain, scrait, an appreciation without being a bit stoned but it would require several listenings and most people, if they don't get it the first time, won't give it a second chance. Great Gig in the Sky? Same thing. Anything on Bridge of Sighs? Same thing (unless you're a guitarist!!).
I get what you're saying, but yes and no. I think people can well appreciate Dazed without an altered mind. It's a GREAT rock song that represents the '70's rock feel perfectly and ages very well and some of the reactions are pretty cool and seem genuine. I've seen a few that are not cringey at all. And keep in mind, not everyone smokes, or needs/wants to. Just like some people (me) have an issue with alcohol, some have an issue with pot, or it just doesn't interest them. It's not for everyone. Personally, I get shit tons more out of Zep's heavy hitters like Dazed when baked, it's a completely different and deeper experience so I get what you're saying, but I would be very mindful that this is not true for everyone. You can enjoy Zep straight no problem. If you partake in pot, then fuck yeah, it's mind blowing (TSRTS is insane when stoned). STB and some others have some pretty cool reactions to D&C. They enjoy it deeply and just aren't into pot.
It's all good!

1975.02.16 - St. Louis (Liriodendron)
Very high energy show.

I was listening to Over the Hills from Seattle '75 today, and wonder....
Is that THE best OTTAFA in that sound quality? (practically official release quality, or could easily be made so by professional engineers)
I'd LOVE to know if there are others that are as killer in similar or better quality sound.

No. This is a myth that came up because people watched TSRTS and there is a section where Page does the soloing in Dazed and has the wah on. That section was actually caused by the cameraman stepping on Page’s wah during a closeup, and you can see Page move closer to the cameraman to turn the wah back off. Pretty cool moment actually.
See this clip, at 17:30 Page is soloing and the cameraman moves closer. At around 17:40 the cameraman accidentally steps on Page’s wah while getting the close up. You can hear the wah sound and see Page look over and move towards the cameraman to turn the wah off around 17:48, but instead leaves it on to do his downward solo run:
A few seconds later an angry looking stage hand briefly walks on stage toward the camera - I wonder if he was going to have a word with the camera man that stepped on the pedal?

I wonder if Led Zeppelin are considered the best rock band anywhere without question? It always seems to be The Stones, The Beatles, and the mighty Zep in somewhat of a 3 way tie, or spread. Is there anywhere (Japan, Europe) that the public consistently holds Led Zeppelin as the clear GOAT?
-
Not just inaccurate, but what's doing with this in regards to Presence?!?!?!?!?
There are no significant songs on the album.
Pfffft, not worth reading on.

They were just so good.

I'll enjoy a home made CC and dry (in a LARGE glass) with the missus when she gets home from work (very soon now) and a nice Stone and Wood Pacific Ale or two later tonight, then a puff by the fire.
Come on weekend!!!

GOOOOLD.

One can only hope that Jimmy sees this, and the success of similar live offerings by the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and others, and starts unleashing the reins a bit.
Would be so good.....

Hey, if it comes to pass, GREAT! I'll just have to do deep diving breath exercises.

Can anyone please share a decent strawberry daiquiri recipe and thanks in advance.
Why yes indeedly-do.....
My Cheese and Kissus makes a killer Strawberry Daq. I think it is fairly stock-standard, but they are tops. But I cannot strongly recommend enough the much nicer Kelly's Comfort (the way we do it).
Measures are per-drink. multiply as needed.
*Sugar syrup should be pre-done: Take 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Stir and chuck it in a microwaveable container, and pop it in the microwave. Every 30 secs, stop, and stir. When all sugar is dissolved, chuck that A-grade sugar syrup in the fridge (you'll only have to stop the microwave 2 or 3 times).
Strawberry Daiquiri.
Per Drink....
4 ripe Strawberries
30ml Bacardi
30ml Sugar Syrup
30ml lemon juice
Ice (roughly 4 cubes per drink)
Pour all ingredients into a blender, blend that sucker good then strain into glass.
Kelly's Comfort. Now this is the ducks nuts. This is the second greatest thing I have ever had in my mouth.....
30ml Southern Comfort
30ml Baileys Irish Cream
60ml milk
4 ripe strawberries
15ml sugar syrup
ice (roughly 4 cubes per drink)
Pour all ingredients into a blender, blend that sucker good then strain into glass.
We x3 that in our Ninja IQ blender with the 900ml cup attached (1.5 drinks each for me and missus) and it is unbeatable. I am not even a "strawberry milkshake" kinda guy. More a choc-malt. But this! Best cocktail ever.
Enjoy!!!! Please give it a go (anyone reading this). I'd love to know if it is as good for others as it is for us. This usually kicks off our weekends.

So is it all Zep? If not, what are some of the other artists? All '70's? Related by influence? Anything "now"?

Overall - yeah, agree, but there are still diamonds to be had from that tour. Not many, but they are there.
