To me, Page's FITR solo is his most happy/blissful/carefree solo ever. And, the way he and Bonham synch up on certain notes is fucking timeless. Yeah, the Blue Box masks mistakes, but so does distortion/phasers/flangers etc... It really shouldn't be part of the discussion due to the fact that it has no bearing whatsoever when creating Art.

Yep! "Swan Song artist Michael Des Barres described Cole's role in the band as being "like a Rottweiler pimp. You did not want to fuck with him. He's the gentlest, sweetest man today, but back then, he would shove a coat hanger up your ass and hang you out the window like a wet cunt. All of the Zeppelin road incidents were in essence choreographed by Ricardo [Richard Cole]"

Man, that solo section of OTHAFA is just vicious! Bonham misses the Page's signature outro riff and comes in two measures early, but other than that its fucking perfect. Love to get a soundboard of this show...

The descending end portion of this track reminds me a lot of how All of My Love ends with that similar repetitive descending line. And, Page also seems to be approaching it in a similar tone and manner.

JPJ on Page's BD solo: "Fucking Brilliant". I think that about sums it up.

HHWCID is arguably Zeppelin's most radio friendly song they ever recorded. The main problem with it being used as an album closer (especially) is that the song itself doesn't have a proper ending, it just kinda' peters out. The performance musically and vocally is amazing but the song isn't 100% there. That combined with the very radio friendly quality (big repetitive chorus's, like YTIGC) was not the direction they wanted head towards. Thats how I think this great song ended up as a 45 B-Side. Kinda makes sense in the weird world of LZ.

One of the meanest riffs ever. Crank It!

Best Post Ever!!! Yeah, he's off-pitch...somewhere in every song I'm sure. It's called a perfect imperfection. Nowaday's, they rely on bullshit like this:

Can someone please tell me dates these songs are from? I think D&c is Milan Italy '71? What is No Quarter & Thank you from? Sounds for sure like '73 but from what show? Shit sounds real good man. Let me know guys...thx

Wow! What a pleasant surprise. My main observation here is that we clearly have two different filming sources in this video. One source which is contained only during the first 9 minutes is a wonderful high quality filming with camera on a tripod in lock down position with the occasional smooth slow zoom. The rest is an amateurish hand held camera which is a blurry, shaky dark mess from a slightly different POV. This contrast is most evident during D&C when they transition between the two camera sources in real time. Imagine viewing the bulk of this concert in the in the kind of quality captured during the first 9 minutes here? Ya' never know... That being said, the first 9 minutes is...without a doubt...a Holy Grail.

That was fucking killer man!

Clearly inspired by the Tea For One intro...not bad

John Frusciante has rejoined the Red Hot Chili Peppers. 2020 is looking better already....
