Mega Shazam! Thanks Sam!

There are snippets of Zep playing in Japan in 72 on YouTube but its in poor quality. Audio-wise,I believe every show in Japan has been bootlegged in various degrees of quality. The best quality recording,in my opinion,would be the show from Osaka 9/29/71. Its great sounding and a blistering performance. For years,rumors of multi track recordings have been debated but there are no rumors of any official release from Japan,unfortunately.

Couldn't have said it better myself Dave.Those were great magazines in exciting times before the internet. I still have each copy of these magazines and often go back and read them again to marvel at how much we didn't know then

Trouble free transmission ...... Just my color too. I'll take it!

Oh! Awesome new photos,Sam! Shazam! Thanks for posting these.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. As I mentioned in my original post, I hope to get the Led out and display it properly some day soon.

Great photos Sam! Thanks. The Starship was leased from Bobby Sherman and his partner's company created solely for the purpose of leasing planes to rock bands. This is commonly available information but I wanted to reaffirm this particular bit of information. This info was gleaned over multiple discussions with one of the flight attendants early in 2009. Unfortunately the line of communication with her has been broken so there is no additional information to be learned. I still have her contact information but she has taken on a new business venture and has no time for recounting Z

Very cool Sam! Imagine seeing Zep at this small and unconventional venue in August 69. I suspect the experience would have been overpowering for the audience ..equivalent to the Texas Pop Festival but set but it a motel. Just mind blowing!

Here's a short video I took of the Zep collection in storage. http://youtu.be/7lnnRXtLLM4 One of these days,I hope to bring it out and properly display it all.

Ah yes.That makes perfect sense now that you have illuminated the scene. Your Zep insight and scholarship never ceases to amaze,Steve. Thanks once again.
