I've been searching all week for a review I saw so I could post it here. It was a review about an early 1975 show and I'm not sure but it could have been one of the Chicago gigs, as the first half of the 21st of January show was not recorded, but I was trying to get the bootleg and on this website (I won't post links here, don't worry) they had a plethora of reviews before the links to the download, and I was skipping through the reviews and I remember seeing this "In The Light might be an internacional hit", or something very similiar and along those lines. Now, I don't know what to make of this, but I know for sure that this concert was before Physical Graffiti was released, so I'm pretty sure it was from the 1st leg of the 1975 American Tour. Another possibility is that Zeppelin could have handed a copy of the song to play on the radio before it was released and the reviewer heard it before the show, the rolling stones used to do that all the time. I'm gonna keep looking for the damned review, as soon as I find it I'll post it here.

Oh common, everybody knows that there's still alot of stuff in the vault and for some reason Jimmy won't release it. The Stones are doing the right thing. It's just a question of effort. If you tell me that Jimmy has been working alot these last 4 years you'd be lying because he hasn't moved a finger, besides doing Celebration Day, he hasn't put out something good since HTWWW and the Led Zeppelin DVD, wich by the way, still doesn't have a follow up. I'm not saying I don't like Jimmy or anything but, with everything they could have done, because Robert and JPJ also have a big say in this so this goes to the three of them, it's just ridiculous the small portion of things we have when you compare it to what other big bands of the 70's like The Stones have put on sale for the past five years or so, the 1978 buffalo show, remastered Some Girls album with new songs that didn't feature the album, the 1972 shows in Texas, Blu Ray DVDs of their shows, the 1973 shows and alot of other stuff online, the list goes on and on. I'm thankfull everyday of the week for the DVD and HTWWW because that's really all the live material we get from the band besides TSRTS movie. Are you seriously gonna tell me that the reason why they won't release more live albums is because Jimmy can't find anything else? So there's no Pontiac? No Bath? No 1971 shows recorded with multi tracks? I'm not trying to stir up a "oh they have all this stuff and they won't put it out" argument, but I just can't believe how we've settled with so little. It almost feels like being a GN'R fan.

I thought he donated one of his suits to the RnR Hall Of Fame in Cleveland. Guess I was wrong. Thanks so much for your help Steve.

So I guess it wasn't true that they said Jimmy's tone changed alot in 1973 because of the echoplex pre amp. Did he start using something like an effects pedal in 1973 that wasn't being used earlier on stage by him?

Steve, do you know exactly when did Jimmy start to use the echoplex unit? Some say 1973, others say that eh used them on 1973 but didn't use it in 1975, but returned in 1977 and was used utill the end of Led Zepp. Just wanted to pin it down. Also, were are Jimmy's suits, the white dragon suit from 1977, the dragon suit and the space suit, at the moment? I heard they were no longer in Jimmy's posession.

The 1975 WLLs are special, it's just so cool the way they mixed WLL with Black Dog. I think that the Earls Court versions are my favorites because of Jimmy's tone.

Well, would a non pompous band make sunshine of your love? Zeppelin was pompous too acording to Pete Townshend.

Yeah, well, you wouldn't want to make a crowd of 50.000 people mad because your buddie had just collapsed from of a bad cocktail. I think that Nutrocker got it right, they couldn't tell the truth, especially right after Keef's bust in Canada. Something that always amazed me, since '73, Zeppelin probably had more parties going on than the Stones, but they never got arrested or even searched by the police for dope.

Jimmy's shirt looks like the one he's wearing in Australia 1972, but I can't be sure about that, so I'll leave it to the "professionals", hahaha!

Steve I remember hearing a while back about Baby I'm Gonna Leave You making a come back to the set in 1977 or 1980, is this true?

Robert overdub the vocals and the voices you hear in the track when he's not singing is just Robert when they were recording the song all together singing with them.

I like how people still think that the reason Jimmy passed out with stomach cramps on that show wasn't heroin related. He probably mixed it with a ton of alcohol, common mistake.

Probably the weed, hahah. No but seriously, if you were at a Zeppelin concert you were bound to laugh at one point or another. Robert probably looked at her or she was laughing at his gestures or something. Why would you want to know that anyways?

He's spot on when it comes to shity music, Radiohead and Red Hot are mediocre bands... Bubblegum shit.

Yeah, I'm also curious about that, I've never heard Robert "trash" anyone...

Hahahaha, ride on! I also love DM and nobody will ever change that... Now throw your stones at us!!

Alright then, I just wanted to find out if Zeppelin would have continued to be a great selling band post 1980.

Great info, thanks alot! So, do you think the American tour would sell without a problem?

Wow... I thought they were playing for like 2000 people, guess I was way off! So they were still selling a ton of tickets, then why was the press saying that Zeppelin was dead and were having trouble selling tickets?

Hi Steve, I have a question: How big was the audience on the 1980 shows? I have no clue about it and it's been bugging me for a long time. I know we've talked about two shows from that tour being canceled because the tickets failed to sell, but not exactly about how big the audience was.

I always find funny how basicaly every contemporary musician trashes Zeppelin because of their obvious musical superiority and larger fan base. Pete Townshend says the same things as Ginger Baker, hates the music and likes them as people... They just can't get past their jealousy.

The song's not challenging at all to play on any of the instruments. They probably never felt like playing it live, like The Rover....

The first gig they used the symbols was for sure on the Back to the Clubs tour in 1971. It's hard to pin it down, what turned out to be the first tour with the legendary IV album songs like Stairway and Rock N Roll is really bad documented...

Geezer was Taro?? I had no clue!! No wonder he was a dick! Anyways we might as well get back on topic so here goes: A while back I remember listening to a 1975 bootleg and Robert Plant was introducing Celebration Day, wich they played after, but now I can't seem to find it anywhere. Am I making things up or did they play that song in 1975, at some point during the US tour. Can the almighty SAJ help me out on this one?

I agree that there's just way to many plugins being used on HTWWW but TSRTS is a great live album. I never dug the sound of HTWWW but the show is still tremendously good, possibly one of the best Zeppelin shows ever, and thank god we have a cleaned up version of the show for us to listen to, but man... those drums sound overproduced as hell... that snare in the beginning.. sounds like the shirley put some god awfull plugins on that, the guitar is all over the place, but I still love it anyways, and I listen to it regularly... I've always loved TSRTS and I never quite got the whole hatred towards the mixing. The older version sounds better than the remastered version, but it's still awesome, at least to my ears. Black Dog from TSRTS made me want to pick up the guitar. There's just something about Jimmy's tone in that show...
