    I was at the Forum in LA for that show too.   Wait a minute ...SuperDave....so if it is true that Page did play Layla (albeit the end), then just MAYBE Page once played a You Really Got ME....perhaps at the end,... so there could be some truth to Eddie Kramer's claim.  Meaning that this entire conversation has been entire waste of time!  🙂   WOW

    Page did play "You Really Got Me" for 8 seconds in 1971

    Thanks for all your advice on this one. Went to Zoso.me and saw that "The Last Flight" -  An Achilles-Cooleyez Production is indeed there right at the bottom of the list. It's not identified as a matrix so either it's easy to miss or it just popped up in the last week or so!

    I can confirm that it is an excellent matrix. For me, it's now the most enjoyable way of experiencing the show. As for the dodgy songs, SIBLY really benefits from this mix and it's especially nice to hear the crowd enthusiasm and the slight thickening of the guitar sound. White Summer is unfortunately still a complete disaster and you can sense how uncomfortable the audience feel. Happily, STH is definitely improved. The guitar solo isn't exactly top notch but at least his runs sound slightly more fluid and you can better appreciate what he's trying to achieve.

    Anyway, thanks to all (especially Achilles and Cooleyez, whoever you are). Hope this matrix now becomes better known as it seems to show that they did go out on a semi-high and that the gig wasn't quite the doom and gloom that some people have considered it to be.

    Awesome, I'm glad you found it!

    I will show my stupidity with bootlegs: what's a matrix?  

    Ok, I hope I don't speak out of place, but my understanding is that it is a synchronized mix of audience and soundboard sources.

    Anyone out there know if anyone's attempted this?

    I know Sue Dounim did a sbd/aud matrix of Whole Lotta Love from this show and it was very good but I  can't seem to find anything else. If any show needed a bit of a matrix helping hand, it's this one!

    ZepHead315 - I consider you to be the fountain of all knowledge on this matter - are you aware of any worthy attempts? Cheers! 

    I found my Berlin matrix.  I downloaded it in September of 2009.  Like I said, I don't feel comfortable sharing my compressed version, but I'm sure the original is out there somewhere.  Here are the notes from the text file...

    So glad you confirmed that, Conquistador. Any idea who did it? Would be amazing if it were Bluecongo or someone like that although I suspect it would be on lists if that were the case.

    As soon as I can locate my external hard drive, I'll see what it is.  I converted my personal stuff to mp3 years ago, so I would not be comfortable sharing it in it's inferior format.  However, I'm sure the source is still out there and I will get back to you on it!

  5. Worked the show as a stagehand last night in Va Beach.  I literally almost walked into Jason Bonham because neither of us were looking where we were going, but he played a damn good set lol!  Accomplished the only goal I had for a gig this year and got a pair of sticks that he played with last night!!

    His drum tech told me that his name is under the wrap, but I don't know if I'm gonna remove one or not.  Probably not.  I am curious though.

    I thought it was "grave" not "great". with the tone of his voice, that makes more sense to me & hits me a bit harder too.

    As for this new project, I'd rather see him work on making new music. I found myself listening to "Enormosound" from Healing Sixes just a couple days ago. It was a good album imo.

    EDIT: Hadn't realized that this was my first post! lol I've been lurking on here since it got put together & led-zeppelin.com and led-zeppelin.org before that haha
