    zosorose I see you have a copy of unstoppable metal machine . i tried but failed to get a copy . none of my suppliers could get it . and I refused to pay the crooks on discogs the prices they were asking . can I ask how you got your copy ? 

    That was a tough one to get! It’s probably my favorite piece. I missed it, too, so I ended up getting it by asking in Facebook groups like Blueberry Hill. It wasn’t cheap, I paid around $350 but it beats the insanity of $800+ on Discogs

    I have this one and based upon when I got it (circa 1988) I believe it was released after Robert Godwin's book was published, which is why it does not appear in it.

    I actually just picked up this one, yesterday. Local shop had it for 40 dollars. Got it with “Last Stand” which is another version of Berlin. I actually got a lot of these older ones from that same store. Cleaned them out but who knows what else they have lurking in the back.

    I have a lot of those. Dinosaur is a sentimental favorite. When those 1980 soundboards were released it was a seismic event.

    Probably my favorite show from 80. Jones’ bass on Achilles is incredible

  3. Been a minute. Been lurking since 2007 and then was semi active when I finally got to see Page in- person in 2014. 

    Anyways, I have (unfortunately) been bit by another phase of being a Zep-fanatic... getting into vinyl. I am realizing this is a costly and inconvenient hobby but it is something I have always wanted to do. Bought my first player in April and have amassed a nice little collection so far. Of course, I want the centerpiece of it to be a solid Zeppelin bootleg collection. I am not so much bothered by rarity and age (I did jump and probably over- pay for a Rubber Dubber that I found in- store, though), but I am looking towards having performances of songs and shows I really enjoy. 

    My question is, does anyone know of a sort of database that keeps track of "new" releases every year. For example, I just picked up this beautiful 4-LP set called "Ultimate Blueberry Hill". Of course I am quite familiar with Blueberry Hill, and it is a modern release with a great matrix source. Has foldout artwork of each band member in colorful dresses. Anyways, I cannot find any information on this release of Blueberry Hill. It is leading me to question what I am missing, as it might be easy to pick up new releases such as this in the moment as opposed to hunting out of release ones. 

    I have joined the Blueberry Hill and Bootleg groups on Facebook, too. Great groups. 

  4. Apparently the judge blasted Spirit's lawyer. Now look, I am all for giving artist's credit, and Jimmy was a bit of a jerk in 68 for things like "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Dazed and Confused."

    Its good Holmes and Baez got credit there. This is a different thing entirely, though. Jimmy surely was influenced by "Taurus", but he changed the riff enough to the point where it is quite different. The rest of the song also could not be more different. You cannot honestly say "Taurus" and "Stairway" are similar in any capacity as songs.

  5. Some cheesy stuff in there and I really dislike the production (same with Outrider), but Coverdale/Page still has some great songs. Whisper A Prayer For The Dying might be Page's best post- Zeppelin song. Its defiantly up there!

  6. My top 3 at the moment-

    I think Earls Court 1975 is the best set of shows the band has ever done. My DVD boot of them of an entire show is my favorite Zeppelin gig ever. The performances on the official DVD are perfect, too.

    I also love LA 1977, I have a thing for the 1977 tour. It wasn't the best but it was so legendary and dark which paved the way for some excellent shows. Listen to this Eddie is the highlight for me, my only complaint is Jimmy's one flubbed note at the start of Stairway's solo :lol:

    O2, London 2007- not their technical best but it is "my" version of Led Zeppelin. I wasn't there but I was there in spirit! After years of being a young fan, the build up to the gig was tremendous. The day of the show was great listening to the radio all day at my high school in Michigan. Love the performance and setlist, and think it is an absolute triumph.

    Honorable mentions-

    Blueberry Hill is excellent, Seattle 1975 (the longer show), How the West Was Won, Pontiac 1977, MSG 1973 (don't get why the band was disappointing in their performance on the movie, I think these shows were great), Hampton Roads Coliseum 1971, and many more!

    EDIT- I mistakenly thought the thread was favorite shows. To answer the thread's actual question, I think Earl's Court 1975 was the peak of Zeppelin's bravado
