  1. So, you're the one that bought that. I was going to bid on it but lost track of it. I had never heard of it before, the vinyl editions appear to go for around $70-100. I'd say you got a decent price for a sealed cd box set. I know pretty much noting about it.

    Let us (me) know what it's like once you receive it!

    Edit:

    A bit more info

    1988 UK limited edition 'HMV Classic Collection' CD box set comprising the 8-track CD album, an illustrated 12-page booklet with a detailed article on the making of the album by journalist Chris Welch, plus a one page letter to collectors from the HMV managing director, all housed in a 12" x 12" individually numbered picture box. Limited to 3500 copies

  2. I need to get one of these. I've always wondered what all the fuss was about for these pressings.

    Ditto.

    I have two different pressings of II. One is just a late pressing that is not even worth putting on. The other is the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab pressing which is the best I've ever heard, but sadly it is missing a large chunk of vinyl. I hear nothing but good things about the RL pressing.

  3. if there is a video of this concert they should hurry up and put it out before everyone dies that want to buy it. it been long enough lets see it. this new generation wont pay as much for it as mine would. get it while you can

    I completely agree with you. I think there's not many of us in the younger generation that will. I would be completely willing to spend money on these things if I had it. $10,000 for a soundboard (once the going rate), probably not. Maybe for a Los Angeles/Long Beach show because I'm from that area. The monetary value of these gems will start to (if it hasn't already) plummet as time goes on and the number of diehards starts to dwindle.

    Edit:

    That's talking about the people who buy the source tape(s). I feel the same way when it comes to bootlegs (EVSD etc.). Most of my generation do not pay for silvers, and probably will not.

  4. Aerosmith in Houston a month after Led Zeppelin, two consecutive nights filmed. No on-stage cameras, from similar angles as above. Now, I don't know if Aerosmith had this gig filmed for themselves....that needs to be researched. If not, this might be the strongest "evidence" that it's remotely possible.

    Edit: the freeze frame/slow motion in between songs is reminiscent of the Seattle video that was used for the projection screens. Having said that, maybe Aerosmith did have the screens in use.

  5. Definitely. Sorting and syncing the footage they shot is an absolute nightmare.

    Which is why it would never see the light of day (officially). Regular fans would have no desire to watch choppy incomplete footage. Perhaps in some sort of mega boxset.

    Geezer, yes, but two years ago. The Rover, a member here who was actually at the Houston show, said that the screens were NOT in use.

    I remember someone saying that the CCTV monitors in the lobby/concession area may have been in use. I don't remember if it was in reference to a Zeppelin show or if it was said about another show at the Summit. I think it's in the Houston thread.

  6. I wouldn't call it urban legend, it's well documented. It all depends on the kinds of tapes you have. Very specific formulations of Ampex (among other brands) go sticky. If you have a box of mid 70's Ampex 406/407 that hasn't gotten sticky/stated to shed, consider yourself lucky.

    Not sure if vhs tapes have the same problem, not into old video tape collecting as I am audio.

  7. Any thoughts on the meteor over Russia today?

    Tonight Asteroid 2012 DA14 comes close to us aswell.

    2012 DA14 has passed by (as of about an hour ago) and all is well.

    That one that hit Russia is interesting, lots of good footage since a lot of the population has dashboard cameras.
