1971.09.29 Remastered Soundboard (2024 Version)
duckman replied to SteveZ98's topic in Led Zeppelin Live
would love to get a link, Steve...my all-time fave show! -
Half a dozen Earl's Court 75 tracks were included on DVD in 2003
-
The original Feel All Right featured the March 1970 show at the Casino...the 1971 moniker was incorrect. Is this one of the newer pressings? including the August 1971 performance? Just curious

British police officers (Bobbies) use to wear these helmet like hats in the sixties & seventies and if memory serves me well, Jonesy also wore one of these during a publicity photoshoot in January 1975. -
please count me in, Steve...I'm ready for this 😎

My guesstimate? No... judging by the amount of (very very old) titles for sale on their site, I'm convinced these are not originals, but overpriced CD-r s. Vintage Scorpio, Neutral Zone, Condor and even Swingin' Pig silvers from 1989, 1990 or 1991 have become scarce after more than three decades. DiscJapan would never sell counterfeits.

spectacular... that old chestnut really comes to life, Steve. Thank You!

Recommended Zep silver labels,....mmm A can of worms, if you ask me. 25/30 years ago I would have recommended Jelly Roll, Silver Rarities, the original Scorpio, Dynamite Studio's/Midas touch, The Diagrams of Led Zeppelin and maybe half a dozen others. These labels are all defunct and the more elite labels such as Empress Valley or Tarantura all have their fair share of issues (brick walling, expensive,...). The One label operating from Japan (and one of the most controversial, but -thankfully also the cheapest by a huge margin!) is Moonchild . For a newbie their catalog is hard to resist. Although their packaging is basic and their slimline cases very vulnerable, I think Moonchild is ticking most boxes if you want to collect a nice live Zep catalog. `Supposedly a spin off Empress Valley franchise, they often dig into the fan remasters (Winstons, matrixes,...) but also budget re issues from Empress Valley. I know a lot of my fellow Zepheads here will condemn me, but I can only say this is the safest and cheapest route to the Zep Underground discography. Check out Brannon's Bootledz labels inventory for an exhaustive Moonchild overview. If multiple releases exist from a specific date, the most recent ones, are the most recommended (Kutabare Moonchild for Osaka 929 for instance). Good luck!

New Book from Japan, Led Zeppelin Live Tour 1971-1972
duckman replied to duckman's topic in Led Zeppelin Live
This particular book has no equipment lists. The publisher did a dedicated book on Bonzo (and Jonesy as well). I ordered the Jonesy book from amazon.jp and this one has an exhaustive overview of his basses, keyboards and amps. I assume the Bonzo book is conceived the same way. So if you're interested in the kind of Ludwig kits cymbals and gongs Bonzo was using, this might be a very good reference. Language is Japanese though. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/dp/4401649834/ref=pd_sim_d_sccl_3_2/357-4713468-8849968?pd_rd_w=I0hFz&content-id=amzn1.sym.983431a6-9909-47ee-97a9-8c450a751337&pf_rd_p=983431a6-9909-47ee-97a9-8c450a751337&pf_rd_r=1YMBQGYRSYM3KKWGRJ6J&pd_rd_wg=pI4e4&pd_rd_r=a308ef9f-ccff-40bb-bec6-b09bc6e57132&pd_rd_i=4401649834&psc=1 -
the 2021 Bloomington Minneapolis SB in 2021 was the last real SB. You're not the only one who was convinced the rest of the elusive 929 SB would be released sooner or later (especially after the Please Please me snippet was released as a bonus on 928!). Two theories are floating around; EV backed out because the seller's (Showco chap?) demands for the remaining tape became downright outrageous EV was fed up with the Mahdi chap who was throwing their precious material online for free. the first explanation sounds plausible to me. The available 90 minutes SB was milked in an unprecedented way, remember. First they released the separate 'singles' (Immigrant, Stairway, Friends) and on the final 2CD Geisha release, Stairway and Friends '(and all the in-between plantations) inexplicably were omitted . Obviously EV was hoping to release a more complete, ultimate (super expensive) 929 edition one or two years later, but it turned out different...ouch
