    To each their own, however I thought the band played better, and tighter as a whole in Montreal. The engine room (Page, Jones, Bonzo) were giving it their all and then some. Plant is the only weak link in this show but he sounds 1000x better in Montreal than he did in NY a few night's later. Sorry, but I can hardly listen to the 12th as Plant is simply horrific the whole show. At least in Montreal his performance, thought not great (even for 75'), is still passable.

    Just my opinion.

    The engine room 👏😜👏

     

  2. I never know if things like this are a goof or if there is a right or wrong answer but damn number 4 is edgier and JPJ is killer high in the mix. That bass with a pick is mindblowing

    And listening to them all reminds me that DAMN this is one amazing tune! 

    I love things like this. Nice job 159.

    Cool -- We decided to do both Seaside and Kashmir -- two at the same time.... Hoping these won't take 18 months!

    The general process is basically to live with the song(s) - endless plays on repeat for weeks and weeks while studying drums scores, transcriptions, tutorials... any available resources that are out there and audit the track - literally note for note trying to find out what people get right and wrong... slow things down - isolate certain instruments using selective EQ settings etc... And we start recording scratch tracks, basically building the arrangement and the mix (while learning all the parts) as we go..... dialing in the sounds, working out all the mix and production trickery.... We may recording 50 or even 100 takes of any particular part as the project evolves and we get closer to figuring it out.... and when we're done we have a complete working arrangement of the song and mix that we sometimes will abandon (but use as a template) to re-record an entirely new version of the song yet again - sometimes with dozens of new takes per track.... Seaside is going to be really cool - there are not a lot of N4N covers out there - and nobody tries to N4N the piano when they play it..... (lots of the Seaside covers are "blocked" on YouTube.) Getting the Fx right will be tough... that's the biggest challenge  I think. Totally excited to pull that off....

    Love your passion and dedication Lava. Please keep us up to date when these songs are ready. Look forward to them.

    Thanks man. We got really lucky with the vocals (last thing that was done). Clay has a really syrupy quality to his voice here just like Plant does... You gotta be fearless to tackle Robert's vocalizations because they are always pretty raw and very naked.... It's why I'm not singing this one - I just don't have that ability to let it hang out there like that. We really appreciate the support.  Our next project is in discussion right now -- I'm leaning towards Down by The Seaside - others (including my wife) keep pushing for Kashmir....  I just like the challenge of "Seaside" because of that fantastic electric piano part. No quarter is another favorite of mine as well (also a great Electric Piano part).....

    If I have a vote I'd say Down By The Seaside. It is such a beautiful and unique Zep tune and rarely covered. I'd love to hear what you could do with it. Keep us up to date.

    No such song exists. Closest thing I can think of is the early demo of "No Quarter" which has a bit of a waltz feel to it.

    The only pre-Zep recordings with Plant are by P.J. Proby, but Plant didn't do any vocals. He only played tambourine and harmonica.

     

     

     

    Bonzo on that track ; 😱 Wow is that killer.

    Led Zeppelin's last great show. 

    I consider myself a die hard Zep fan and collector and after your post I realized I did not have either the 23rd or the 24th show. Now I do and i am listening and LOVING them! Cheers my friend and Thanks. 

  7. As usual I was starting my day off having my coffee and some morning Zeppelin and In The Light (maybe my fave Zep tune) came on and it hit me, when they get to the "In The Light, everybody's needs the light" my heart sings! Again and again I fall in love with this band and their music. So the question is what line, or lines do that to you? Every time. For me another would be"Gonna leave her with the guitars playin"

    I'd love to hear from you. Cheers from Montreal.
