Absolutely, I agree with this... however, there are many clams especially with Roberts vocals, and Jimmy, which would have to be fixed. I doubt they would sign off on mistakes being put out there officially, especially Robert.

Thanks for the clarification, and thanks for all you've shared!

I assumed this was from Knebworth rehearsals or a soundcheck because I assumed they were outside on a hot night. Weird and unprecedented way to dress for a gig, like they're just back from a day at the beach.

Is this the pic you're talking about? I always wondered what the story was with this pic. Must've been a hot night!

That's the one!

I'd go with either EAP or Winston, but each will give you different feeling as they're primary sources are different as noted by Strider and others. Personally, I love the old Cobra Standard release. The audio is bright and clear , with a great sense of atmosphere.

Totally!!! Page's solo is one of his all time greatest IMO. Wish they'd do a new cut with alternate footage of the band playing. Honestly those "fantasy sequences " always bum me out as I'd much rather see them playing than watching that self-indulgent attempt at "art". Except for Bonzos which is down to earth and unpretentious.

Sorry if this is an ignorant question but...was the band actually taped for projection screens , or were the images just simply projected?

I was being sarcastic.

I like it, keeps things interesting and bizarre. Thanks for this, a breath of air...sort of fresh.

?

Love this! Dig the disapproving look from the lady. Wonder if this was from the ill fated Milan gig trip?

Great show, wish we had a board of that one.

Thought I'd bump this thread , as this post from SAJ is very thought provoking. When I see pics of them performing on July 24 77, I can't help feel that gloom one sees in photos of a crowd just before a disaster hits.

I don't have Winston's version of that show but I do have Afterburner which was allegedly a rip off his matrix and to me it sounds like a board only except for the audience patches and songs at the end. I'd like to ask Winston if he truly matrixed the sources. If he did then maybe he just used s very slight bit if audience tape as ambience. I think that's the Rain Song where the mellotron craps out so he finished it on the Rhodes. Great show, one of my all time favorites .

I prefer the original LP mastering to the remaster but I can understand why people like the amplified, high eq sound of the remaster. The best way to listen to the whole show IMO is the Heywood remaster. It uses the best versions of Celebration Day and No Q, no missing beat in SIBLY and adds missing sections to Dazed and Whole Lotta Love. It was really confounding that Jimmy didn't remaster the album soundtrack or simply give us a complete concert from the multi tracks.

I agree with you , but apparently the original soundtrack couldn't be altered due to copyright issues so it had to be as it is in the film. Not sure what that means specifically, I'm sure there are people here who can edify us.

Agreed, one of the baddest versions ever.

Far out. It looks like he's stepping down on the snare while hitting it. Hopefully that old Atlas stand never gave way...that'd be a Spinal Tap moment.

WTF?? I will never understand this psychology.

Thanks for sharing these, from a fellow Chicagoan. Wish I had been old enough to see them there, and hear Bonzo basically acoustically as well as amplified. Rare air.

Yeah, a terrible waste which resulted in the death and oppression of thousands. More like weapons relief than hunger relief. Did Bob Geldof ever acknowledge how misguided his plan was to give a guy like Mengitsu all that dough? He may have had the best of intentions but he seems like a self aggrandizing wanker.

Aww hell naw!
