I almost always skip Rock n Roll when it's the opener of the show - with the band not warmed up yet I find it hard to listen to. And I often skip Trampled Underfoot - primarily because I feel they never really nailed that song live...

Excellent points being made here in this interesting topic. I think the guitar playing of JP is one of the reasons why we all love Led Zep. I for one like Page his playing live better than his playing on the studio albums. Sure, he could be sloppy, he made mistakes and missed notes, but he took the studio songs so much further. And most important: there's so much 'feel' there. I like Toto and Dire Straits for instance. I like the solos in Hold the Line and Rosanna. But it in the end....it all sounds too 'clean'. Too polished. Too 'eighties'. I like my rock 'n' roll dirty. Imperfect. Warts and all. And with a lot of feel. Handsful of soul. That's why I LIKE Toto and Dire Straits for example. But that's why I LOVE Led Zeppelin.

Today I was finally able to pick up the DL boxes for IV and HOTH and I got lucky: both are numbered! My boxes for I, II and III weren't. I live in The Netherlands, so numbered copies are coming to Europe at least.

Deep Throat III - march 27th, 1975. Excellent performance and excellent tape!

Sick Again - 21 june 1977. Must be the best live version ever!

Copenhagen warm-ups. Damn they were good there!!

Love this song, very underrated. And that 'so far away'- section in the middle of the song: could that perhaps be the most mysterious sounding Zeppelin ever?? That could have been the theme for an entire song! (Begs the question: so why didn't they?) - peace all -
