"10/17/69 Carnegie Hall shows in NYC are confirmed as being multitracked through Eddie Kramer."
"6/29/29 RAH shows are rumored to be multitracked."
"Jimmy Page himself or Peter Grant confirmed one of the Surrey shows in 68 was multitracked. I don't recall if the date was 10/15 or 10/25 since they played shows at Surrey University on both dates."
Wow! This is rather shocking. I'd consider these to be my holy grails.
I have with three possible solutions to what actually happened here:
#1: Robert hated San Francisco!
#2: He smoked way too much and plainly just slurred the word gentle.
#3: He forgot the lyrics and remembered his best friend's interest in the occult (not implying Jimmy was evil or something, but he was definitely interested), and said "Devil people."
Is it true that Jimmy got into the habit of heroin during EARLY 1975, or was it only later during the recording of Presence he was addicted to it? From what hear in Earls Court on Page's side, he has definitely been on heroin.
Totally agree, Page's guitar tone was better on the 77 tour, Robert's voice was so much better, Jonesy (as I always say) is always good, and same with Bonzo.
4/27 1977, 4/30 1977, 5/21 1977, 6/21 1977, 6/22 1977, 6/23 1977, 6/25 1977, 8/4 1979... And that's about that from my favourite live versions of Achilles.
