1971/01/23 - The Great Lost Live Album. OTHAFA, SIBLY, TSRTS, TRS, DaC - the whole thing actually... As a show, it truly could be a live release for audio quality and performance. One of the best SIBLY and Over the Hills from that year if not ever. (prove me wrong PLEASE!!!) Is there a better boot from around that time for audio quality and performance??? (MUST have the fast start to SIBLY - you know - the BEST they ever got that song) Amazing boot - one of my best.

Dear Mr Page, I just heard the Rolling Stones I Can't Quit You Baby. OK, that's horse. (unreal/awesome/major/intense) THIS Jimmy, this is what I thought the return of Black Beauty might re-ignite in you. Some of those sweet blues roots. Something to start you with something new - or a new interpretation of something done. The Stones new album is awesome. I truly hope Mr Page, you takes some inspiration from this and revisits this stuff. Guitar in hand, alone, GET LOST in it bruh! Then turns that into something more. Something for us - dare I say.

^ what a great post. hahahahahahahaaaaa

Listening to this for the third time this week. My God. They absolutely nail this. So beautiful. It really is equal to Zep at their best in their heyday, IMHO.

The new series The Exorcist. Do yourselves a favour people. Good little series.

Not sure if its been mentioned, but this site should be checked DAILY. http://lastgif.com/

10 years gone melts the troubles right out of your day....

out fcking standing.

nuff said.

I have: Artist: Led Zeppelin Date: 1975.03.21 Title: The Hammer Of The Gods Label: Last Stand Disc LSD-82/83/84/85 Venue: Seattle Center Coliseum Location: Seattle, WA, USA Source: Audience 4 CD's - but they are MP3's Porgie66 - I think you win (lossless) Please pm me a link???

100%. speaking to you - such a good way to put it. I'll admit, some of the 1980 stuff is pure horrible (White Summer comes to mind), but like you said, it's some of it, not all of it. There are moments that are not surpassed from 1980. Where even under all that excess, those four men could produce things that speak to you on an absolutely incredible level. Some stuff they pulled of was perfection. If anyone has heard a more powerful, exploratory, groovy piece, where all four are absolutely in tune, and still very innovative than Trampled Underfoot from either Zurich OR the following night in Frankfurt - from ANY artist, I'd be stunned. Sue posted that WLL from 1980 recently too, which blew me away. Sloppy?, a bit, but more accurate IMHO is to say - Tight but Loose.

Cheers. My missus is blocking out the huge Excalibur swort that hangs on the wall.

I'll post a pic of my ugly mug one day... But first!...... THIS - is why I marries this magnificent woman. She saw these in Jay Jay Jeans, and had to buy them to surprise me. WHAT a top chick.

Absolutely. Carouselumbra as well. While not award winners, I think Sick Again tells the groupie story very well and The Wanton Song 'Took my seed from my shaking frame' - got to love that. The Rover as well. Beautiful.

It always has surprised me a little that Jimmy would be upset that so many Soundboard bootlegs are out there. The main collector of these surely are the rather hardcore Zep fans that buy whatever is official anyway, and even though I understand being pissed off about the loss of control about what is released, I would have thought that Jimmy would be glad the more stuck on fans, like us mob, had access to SO MUCH Zeppelin material. And it is all so interesting and amazing to hear. I'll listen to this stuff for the rest of my days. I'll buy and listen to whatever is released and LOVE it, but without all the boots, we would ALL be poorer for it. I hope that doesn't come across as arrogant or selfish. I am sure there is a completely different POV from Jimmy, the owner of the boards that were, I understand, stolen from him. I'm just articulating how lucky I think we all are to have so much of what we love.

It is almost beyond belief. Bloody oath. It's a cracking good song, good fit on the release, and is amazing to listen to IMHO. The second one on BBC Sessions I love. Both of them actually, but the second more so. I have yet to hear the new one (3rd disk) as I am still waiting for the right time.

Thanks for that post SAJ. Very interesting indeed! Makes one think, a Zeppelin movie would just be too damn hard IMHO - but a movie about Mr Cole, wow! Easily could be a monster of a movie. It could really show what a different reality it was back then. and the journey as a whole. No question there is enough to "base on actual events" and not even have to stray too far! (maybe a bit of tweaking to protect the... um... still kicking. )

Not nearly enough live releases.

^ Do you get those kinds of displays for Zeppelin anywhere else? Here (BrisVegas in Oz) there was nothing. JB HiFi had the deluxe box up on the shelf with a "NEW!" sticker on it, that's about it. The CD only version was just in amongst the Led Zeppelin CD's in the A-Z section. I'd love to see pics of any fan-fare that may go on elsewhere like above.

The Honda reference - LOL!!!!! So many hours spent on that great game. I still have it in the cupboard somewhere.
