You are correct sir! Not sure if it's a wig though.Great pic!

Jason just posted this pic yesterday on Instagram.

Yeah man, the cosmic energy was in those theaters ...the collective vibe and the big screen are the best. I must've seen it 15 times in Chicago from 79 to about 1985. Fond memories.

The level of detail Eddie Edwards achieved in his analysis is mind boggling. I can't imagine dissecting every bar of every officially released track and comparing them the audience and board tapes of the three nights. It is quite a chop job but all in all I'm still very happy to listen to it, given the paucity of multi-tracked recordings. The Rain Song and most of No Quarter are pretty much unaltered, and those are two of my favorite versions ever.

There was some mention of her in this forum a while ago....seem the consensus was she was just a random audience member who was in rapt awe of the band. Who knows if she was specifically reacting to Robert, Jimmy or Bonzo wailing away. There was some speculation it was Shirley Wilson, Maureen Plant's sister and later on partner, though it seems that was roundly dismissed.

Haha, wow...agreed on all counts. BTW , wouldn't Bonzo have been wearing a wig too for the filming at Shepperton studios in August of 74? His hair in those scenes looks pretty unnatural .

I agree with this sentiment, however...I will say this: Bonzo and Pagey would play the shit out of any Stones song , I can't say the same of Keef and Charlie on most Zeppelin tunes ( except the 12/8 or basic numbers). Can you imagine Charlie on In My Time Of Dying ? Or Achilles...or In The Light ... or.....???😆 A thundering 18 wheeler indeed...but not uncontrolled by any means. Sorry Mr Richards, wrong.

Yes, this would be fantastic! He's been into boots for many years now. I really hope you're right.

I never read about Bonzo not liking the song, where was that noted ? He played the shit out of it live most every time. It's not a tedious song , I think it's actually fun to play because of the odd time bars. Bonzo certainly never sounded like he struggled on it, and the ending shuffle was always a fun stretch out at the end. I agree with Blindwillie, it was a really happy, loose way to end a show, after all the intense exploration of the epics. Pity there aren't some versions to hear from 75 and 77.

Here here!! One of my favs too. The coda is a bitch too!

Very cool little find. I never heard Blueberry Hill was recording by radio transmission?? I always assumed the old LP sources, TMQ and Rubber Dubber both came from tapes. Anybody know about Grant's claim here?

Give In The Evening Alternate mix another listen. Jones bass is much clearer in the mix and it's just incredible how great he plays on that cut. You can really hear the influence of Jamerson and Dunn Also, I've never been keen on Hot Dog but Bonzos drums on the alternate mix are up front which makes for fun listening.

Nice shot, looks like Jimmy went record shopping at Tower !

Wow!! That's brutal. Oops, Page and Bonzo fucked that one up, then Plant skips right to the ending verses which really screws things....as opposed to Badegholders , which Jones gaffs in the same spot.

Saw it at the Carnegie Theater in Chicago in fall of 1977, just after my 11th BDay. That's how I got hooked on Zep. Wish I had a Marquee pic, but here's the ad.

Just record whatever song clip you want to use to your phone, assuming you have a smart phone with an audio recording function. You can then save the file as a ring tone.

That's where I read it! Damn shame. I'd still love to hear what was recorded!!

I seem to recall reading that the tape ran out on Heartbreaker and no tape exists for TY and SIBLY. Anyone confirm this?? Regardless, this should be an official release. However, it's great having what's available and I fear an official release would get chopped up , altered, etc.

Never saw this pic posted here, with Rory Gallagher

WTLB was my top pick too. I've used Kashmir, Custard Pie , Wanton Song. I've also used Bonzos solo ending of Dazed and Confused from TSRTS. That one startles people and makes cats scurry.

Absolutely , Strider ... the vinyl has depth, space, clarity , excellent high low free balance. One of the best boots I ever bought , back in 1981 like you. I nearly wore the LPs out. I've heard TDOLZ, Empress Valley, a master>dat transfer, and the vinyl still beats them all to my ears.

Possibly. I wonder if the audience made for a less memorable gig. The audience / band vibe seems a little off to me. Also, I'm sure there were less nerves around playing in front of a smaller foreign audience than making a UK comeback in front of the proverbial "ocean" at Knebworth, so they were tighter and more focused. It's pretty incredible considering they hadn't played a gig in 2 years. I would die happy if they released a full concert made up of the best songs from these shows.

The Rain Song for me too. The lyricism of the melody, harmony and even Plants lyrics are all exceptionally beautiful. My favorite part is the end, the coda. That could've been the seed for another sublime tune.

Agreed. Played and sung with a lot of feeling.
