^WOW. Mr Jimmy seems to get better and better. This is close enough to the '77 sound that I'd gladly pay good $$$ to see this show. Man I hope they tour....

If anyone has a link to the Knebworth Masters.....

Sorry for the lapse, English isn't even my mother tongue. However the substance is true, I already downloaded it from that site and not all the files work: if you don't believe me, try yourself. I got my copy on guitars101, where the files are kindly hosted by the Hunter (the guy running longliveledzeppelin).
Yeah, I appreciate the info.
Cheers.

In 1977 they were Gods. And decided to put on the most epic extravaganza they could - for better or worse. And when you think of the power and energy they were able to impart onto the audience, it is little wonder how so many who were lucky enough to attend the better '77 gigs all describe it so positively.

^A perfect example of how they were just melting faces. Imagine witnessing that. That power and presence would need to be experienced to be completely understood and appreciated. And this is what, 2hrs into the gig??? A gig that may have had a flat spot or two - but a 3hr gig probably demands you give the crowd somewhat of a breather so as not to wear them completely out.
With all the excess and all the demons circling, they still delivered. I can't imagine a single soul left an LA or New York or many other '77 gigs with anything but a feeling of absolute rapture. Knowing that the experience was likely never to be topped.
They were flawed, but they were Gods with an energy that had to be experienced.

You realize you are agreeing with the minority opinion on that here in this country don't you?
Possibly, but that's ok. I know I don't hold all the answers. Discussion on such things is interesting to me. I have opinions. They are opinions that a lot of people will agree with or think are rubbish. It's all interesting and all good. I wish I had of spent more of my youth actually looking at political systems, philosophical ideas, and more deep writings about life, but alas... I'm happy and confident enough to express myself with my life experience. That's good enough.

The irony of course is that in itself is the real "greed and corruption" built into the equation of so called "progressivism". A straight path down the trail to "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others".
100% disagree.

I’m just speaking in terms that people think things were great back over a half a century ago are revisionists who only want the American Dream narrative to still be alive, without all that went along with it....much higher tax rates on the wealthy being a huge part of it. Over half of the top 500 companies in America pay 0% taxes. Meanwhile most of the middle in America are paying more than they have in recent years. That’s the reality. Unemployment is low in part to the fact that 1. It was already steadily declining over the past decade and has continued at a slower, yet similar, rate and 2. Many people are having to take on second and third jobs to make ends meet due to costs rising on every level - especially housing. The Citizens United ruling in the Supreme Court has made it open season for corporations and foreign entities to influence American politics like never before and is in a nut shell why we’re in many of the issues we are currently in now. Fact. Most are just too self-serving, having delusions of grandeur, or are too stupid to even know what the people they are choosing to represent them are doing to them and against them. After reading the responses on here, I hope you’re getting a clearer picture of the mindset over here and why your assertion, that America is a world power that is now falling like many before it, is happening. Greed, ignorance, and corruption. Let them eat cake...
100% agree.

Make America Great Again - which refers to the 1950’s...back when there was an equitable system to where you could just get a job and be in the middle class. Or the 1850’s when people were still enslaved. Pick which one they are referring too - or both.
The 1950's while in desperate need of some enlightenment, had a few redeeming qualities that people rightly miss. A single decent paying job (middle class) could get a family started (buy a home and enough disposable income to start producing kids) without the missus having to also work a professional job. Aaaaaaah that must have been SO GOOD. Nowadays people are working at well paying professional jobs and struggling with insane mortgages. I moved interstate due to housing prices, not everyone has that luxury. Yep, 1950 had at least some advantages now lost.

^Circumstance and chance beg to differ. You can get dealt a great hand or a catastrophic hand in life. Sometimes the deck is stacked (either way) just because it is - no matter how smart/stupid you are. But once you acquire enough personal wealth, you then play by rules designed to protect your wealth. You still need to be very careful, but you have opportunity to structure your finances so your money makes money and you pay fuck all tax. That, is a stacked deck. Tax avoidance I'm saying. I'm not opening up a debate about tax rates and who contributes what to the pie - just those who specifically should but don't due to the stacked deck that is by design.
Yes, we have the saying. Again, sometimes it is people getting blindsided by illness/crime/natural disaster/etc. that negates snoozing.

The echo chamber (bubble) phenomena is off the hook now. I like reading opposing views within limits (there tends to be some trolling even in here) as it is interesting to understand other views while not agreeing with them. Typing these words on this keyboard is the big feeder of the bubble issue. If we were all to get together at a pub and discuss things in person, everyone can/will still disagree, but in person conversations are the insulation against bubbles. Face to face there is a bit more tolerance and flexibility due to the much fuller form of communication. This next generation better start re-learning what it really means to socialise again.

Does anyone know the source used for this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iFwqXSQn20
I know the imagery is a compilation of various nights from audience and the Seattle screen - and it is done really well. The sound quality is quite good, is it something they decided to release "off the shelf" of the live vaults? (I think it's a matrix of a board and AUD - not sure...)

There is no stacked deck, half of America doesn't even pay income taxes and gets most of what they have off the backs of taxpayers most whom are not rich either.
So the extremely wealthy pay a fair share of tax in the US? cmon mate. Fair suck of the sauce bottle.
Set up your wealth in such a way that you end up paying virtually no tax - taking advantage of those politicians who were generous enough to write into law a system designed to shield a certain level of family wealth from the tax man? Yeah, that sound much more accurate. At least here. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-13/one-third-of-australian-companies-paid-no-tax-ato/10614916
There is a stacked deck so ridiculous it's laughable. I do not believe the US has a more equitable system than we have. No chance.

Trampled (live is so much better than studio, but still amazing song)
Sub out NFBM for The Rover and it's pretty close to what I'd go for. Trampled live - I hear ya! I'd be tempted to sub D&C for No Quarter too - and again go with live.
Of course, I could almost go 10 other songs altogether such is their depth.

Physical Graffiti would have to be the album of choice for the desert island scenario. It just has so much to offer and I reckon it has ZERO filler. Every track not only offers something, every track is at least great - going all the way to Best of Zep/one of the greatest tracks ever.

Regulation when designed right - to ensure there are established boundaries that should not be crossed - increases the health of a free market economy. Stripping away useless regulation can be constructive, but a lot of "freeing up blah from red tape and regulation!" is bullshit to let a vested interests or groups to profit more or get away with more with fewer safeguards.
Socialism. Just like every other "ism". In its purest form, useless. Just like capitalism, liberalism, communism, catholocism, etc, etc. All useless doctrines when no flexibility/adaption is allowed/applied.

ITTOD had a bad mix on Carouselambra/
That always struck me as so very odd. Why bury the vocals like that and obliterate the track with the pipes? The companion remix is a massive improvement. I think it could be even better. I still enjoy it (original) though I must say...
