am thinking maybe Page should grow out the sideburns to match 1967- he could pull it off

There must be unreleased alternate takes...
On LZII there was a full mix done prior to the test press that if available was heavy bias toward bass and had less consistent spatial pattern/separation from track to track... which would have been ok by me. The second mix [bass pulled down] is what we enjoy in release.
On IV alone there were two full shots at mixing. The cause was reputed to be the vocals were buried and the drums were over worked. If accurate, the final test press required almost 6months re-work to get there. Have heard that BOE also had percussion at one point which did not make it to release.
Unreleased songs:
speculation on a track that was recorded concurrent to HHWCID, seen as even more camp/commercial than LLM and dropped.
speculation on a track recorded during the ITTOD sessions at Polar [different than what was used in The Firm and CP].Have always expected Jimmy to pull the drum track out and do another Montreax with guitar over it. Rumored to have been given some time again during rehearsals in June at Shepperton on 6/6/80 heavy, heavy slide and whammy work on the guitar.
I have my hopes up that a LZ single will be released one day...

My fan expectations raced far ahead of what is made available.
When I slowed down and finally got back to reality I have an appreciation for being allowed into "the window of the creative process" as to how some tracks arrived. The exclusion of some material baffles me- some questions answered now being included on the new release. The inclusion of some material loses my interest after one or two times listening- yet it does accomplish the above in providing a window and for this I am grateful.
As a technical textbook/workbook the Physical Graffiti companion is a treasure to me. It's clever, it's sharp, it's loaded with signature moments.

Beth Hart (she stole the show with a knockout performance of "I'd Rather Go Blind"
...instead the wimpy pseudo jazzbos he usually tours with. More importantly, the setlist was killer....
At last he acknowledged his Yardbirds and early solo albums. "Heart Full of Soul", "Over Under Sideways Down", "For Your Love", "Beck's Bolero"...I hadn't seen him play these songs in years! The fact that he started the set with these gems gave the show a big jolt of energy right from the start.
Really wish you had a gig writing reviews...

seeing my daughter show me that she bought a dress instead of some MissMe jeans. She used a coupon and cash. Got it on sale.
Got her mama's good looks and her daddy's money and sensibility all her own.

Probably not much of a mystery to some- it is to me.
Other than a bolo hat, did JHB ever donne a costume or stage wear?

Deb sometimes you really make my mornings. Thank you.

all three surviving members have to agree to any release
all three adore Led Zeppelin and each would never get in the way of something if it was of the right heart and right timing and what is best for the band. Insofar as "its a business"
"Demand unprecedented" applies to one band only. No Led Zeppelin Mystery at all on this.

GC, Jr. and Ane Brun are two that stand out for me. I am ridiculous picky, makes it difficult to connect. Appreciate yes, connect- really difficult.
Ane Brun

Just to be clear, the Earls Court concerts were filmed with 2 inch 16-track videotapes
It's clear SAJ.
So clear. So blinded by its clarity that some will pound sand and cry and pout for proof clinging to the comfort of their disuage and unbelief.

Can anyone explain to me what Page is doing from 3:44 to 3:51?
Just a guess, Geezer, but it sounds like he went off ALS as he stepped over to fix that thing on the floor (don't know what it is called) and forgot what he was playing/doing.
since his rig was not tarted up for Knebworth, the only thing really available to him to step on was a boost he used for lead work (wah was not engaged) or an on/off switch. Stomped at it once, didn't like what he got... gave it another shot. Don't know if the switch failed or what happened, usually he gets a 6db+ boost and I don't hear any on that source- nada. Wish he would have got a boost on that... kinda needed it. No, it was sorely needed.
FYI if you are not familiar with the boost pedal reference it is on the photo below... a comparative photo for O2

The only evidence that is proof enough is when there is a video in my hand.
However, at least for me, I am not comfortable dismissing totally the information that is available. I can tell for others it makes more sense to dismiss the possibility and declare that specific events were not recorded. Completely understandable.
Regarding Houston, the only thing I can offer personally, first hand is a reporter from KHOU who did two live remote news broadcasts from The Summit during the Led Zeppelin concert told me that the TVs in the concession and common areas were on the entire time at The Summit during the Led Zeppelin concert and during one of the live remotes he intentionally placed himself so that one of the monitors was behind him over his shoulder in the background during his remote. Additionally, David McDavid of Irving, Texas told me that he saw the monitors on in The Summit during the Led Zeppelin concert. Also, through the years more than a few people have said they saw a video of the Led Zeppelin concert in Houston, that it was played during a New Year's eve bash each year. A tape of high quality and impressive audio. The guy with the concert tape in Houston is a high profile former athlete and it would not surprise me if he has the Elvis tape as well. He has a lot of things. Also, personally, I have heard audio from a different source than the one that circulates for Houston. It is stereo and multitrack-ish sounding.
Regarding Zurich, the only thing I can offer personally is a collector in Palm Beach told me this past December that a Zurich video may surface soon as he had been contacted as a possible buyer by a private collector in Montreal. On his iPad he had a :30 seconds sample he was sent for consideration, a source different than what circulates for Zurich. It was stereo, impressive and sounds multitrack-ish.
If I had access to them, they would be public. I have no doubt that people who read this forum know more than what they are sharing, wish they would. I have never understood the not sharing mentality.

Hi Dallas Knebs
,Thanks for sharing your personal experience. I was in two minds as to whether to post the article, but generally if I find something LZ relevant, I put it on the site whether it is favourable or not.
glad you shared. Several forum members some of whom reported and answered to Grant are best suited to speak about him. Its awful that anyone would pull isolated actions or appearances out of the context of someone's job and hype, scrutinize and label. It's wrong.
Hope you find more articles to share.

In the beginning, the four musicians were like any other hardworking lads besotted with a new sound.
uhhh... no, no they were not like any other...what a misinformed, misdirected statement.
Grant used harsh methods no doubt and a darker element was going on but to call him a thug is incorrect. Truly loyal and watchful is more accurate. I was around him on a few occasions not knowing who he was other than that he was important. No negative impressions whatsoever other than a potty mouth.

saw that one
There's a Discovery Channel television show about two survival experts put into different outdoor adventure / survival situations called "Dual Survival." The 11th episode of the 3rd season of Dual Survival, which aired last evening (2013MAR12) it was titled Misty Mountain Drop.
my wife got this on her pintrest wall or whatever it is called

Companion discs are rubbish
in Led Zeppelin Reissues
Posted
Mountains of 1/4" tape could make mountains of releases yet why bother when it is outside the scope of what the band was about... ref. Roger Waters travesties...
so including companions LZ has released more than 20discs which for me is plenty.
Live LZ music is available thru boots although so many marked as "SoundBoards" are not. Plenty of boots for me. EC official release, now that is it for me.
"Take Me Home/In the Morning/In the Light" and "Fire/HOFN +Closer by The Firm + SMT on C/P" and a few of the others on The Firm and Walking into Clarksdale have their origins from '71 & '72.
