St. Louis 2/16/75

My notes show the Feb 7th 1976 issue of 'Sounds' published a brief news item on Peter's patronage of Jenny Marriott's antique shop in Battersea but I have been unable to find any further details whatsoever. I should think were it not for Peter Grant being the first customer the "grand opening" may have gotten no press coverage at all.
This is the weirdness people are talking about. Who in the world cares that Led Zeppelin's manager visited an antique store in 1976? But not only does Steve have "notes" about it, but there aren't enough details for his liking and he's avidly searching more out. That's the stalker-y thing at work.
SAJ is the heart of this place. He either gave amazing information or inspired others to find it. What a loss, that I hope is only temporary, to this site.
Sadly, Steve is NOT the heart of this place. All the members who made up the true heart of this place were driven away or left long ago.
As far as why he's leaving, seems like Stevie's mad that his "image" and his "mystery" that he cultivates has been blown open, and he's been revealed to be an average Joe, albet one with OCD.

Okay, I know it's not Irish Stout...but it is stout! And it's reeeeeeeally good. Black Albert Royal Stout...it's 13%, but so very smooth. A nice sipper for the evening of basketball.
Cheers!!
Ah, the infamous Black Albert! I had it a few years ago, very good. I'm drinking a Russian River Blind Pig IPA right now.

Well, that's quite a backhanded and sarcastic review by Rolling Stone!

3/21/75 Seattle, arguably the best show of the '75 tour and today's the anniversary!
-
I've gotta say, though I was skeptical this new album rocks pretty hard. Reminiscent of 'Women and Children First' era VH. Songs like 'As Is' and 'honeybabysweetiedoll' definitely show Eddie with his 70's chops back in full force.
-
Nothing rocks harder than watching Diamond Dave dance around 1920's-style. Also, I had a seizure watching it.
-
I recommend you get the Winston Remaster of this great show, which combines the audience and SBD recording.
I second this. I'm a HUGE fan of the March '73 shows, they were just smokin' at that point.

The Stoke show was my first Zeppelin boot. There was a record store that had bootleg cd's, but being in high school, I didn't have the money for them. The owner offered to record the cd to a tape for me for like $10, if I recall correctly. I didn't get the whole boot, just whatever would fit on a cassette, but it was plenty for me at the time! I still really like that show, a great soundboard.

Listening to 2/16/75 St. Louis soundboard, while watching football.

Earl's Court, 5/24/75

One of the best ever versions of WLL. Jimmy really turns it up on ICQYB! Never get tired of this one.
Lately I've been just listening to the versions of Dazed & Confused from the German '73 shows, and comparing/contrasting them. I think Hamburg is my favorite, although Vienna is right there.
-
The thread about Offenburg got me interested in listening to it again, so just got done. Whole Lotta Love really smoked!
-
Listening to the July 12, 1973 show here in Detroit, considered one of Zep's best ever shows. It is pretty cookin'...

5 of the funniest minutes of comedy you'll ever see. Louis CK rips the hell out of useless 20 year olds, and then goes on to put a hilarious spin on slavery and white people's ignorance of it...
-
The always amazing Louis CK. I can relate to his comment "I had kids a little too late and a little too fat in life."
-
Listening to 2/14/75, "St. Valentine's Day Massacre"...great show!
As a follow up, "No Quarter" is outstanding in this show. I have to say, I enjoy the NQ's from the early shows in '75, when Jones was just using the electric piano, and hadn't yet switched to the grand piano for the solo. It was more jazzy and atmospheric.

Listening to 2/14/75, "St. Valentine's Day Massacre"...great show!
-
Listening to the 3/21/75 Seattle show now, and a blistering version of Since I've Been Loving You...Jimmy scorched the solo on that one!
-
3/16/73, the "Danke Vienna" Winston Remaster. Just brutal and nasty, they were on fire.
-
Listening to Seattle, 3/21/75. Great show.

As yesterday was the 34th anniversary of the "Listen to This Eddie" show, I would like suggestions on the best version of this recording...seeing how it's been remastered more often than Dark Side of the Moon. I have heard the version included in the "Week for Badgeholders" is not up to snuff.
Probably the Winston Remasters version, I'd say.
Favorite version of Whole Lotta Love
in Led Zeppelin Live

8/23/71 in Fort Worth, TX. Just a scorching version. The unbalanced recording helps in this case, as the taper was in front of Jimmy's side and the guitar is very prominent in the tape. Blazing playing by Jimmy and Robert in very strong and high voice.
