  1. If I were to pick any concert throughout history to attend, this may be the one.
  2. Isnt that another show where the crowd was a PIA too?
  3. I mean if you're in the mood haha. You don't have to do a huge write up just because I mentioned a show.
  4. Maybe I'm wrong but isnt Chicago's reputation due more to Plant than Page? I remember thinking he played nicely then. From what I've heard, Jimmy's worst 73 show is Southampton.
  5. I agree to a certain extent. Yeah the setlist is the same every night and there aren't many surprises, but what I like about 75 is how they make each show sound unique regardless (IMO). It's because of the jams each night on songs like No Quarter, DnC, and the funk section of WLL. They truely sound "free" in some moments. Its the 77 tour where they really start to sound monotonous. Now, admittedly, I've listened to much more of 75 than 77 but there I think all the shows blend together. They way I've often thought about it was...once you've heard Listen to this Eddie (or whatever your one favorite show is) is there any need to go back and listen to the others? You were getting about the same show night in, night out. They experimented a bit in NQ, but not nearly as much as they did in 75 where Jonesy was given authority to take the song wherever he pleased.
  6. Sue is this a matrix you made ?i know the titlesays "remaster"
  7. Honestly never really gave it much of a listen. Maybe ill have to check it out then.
  8. Agreed. That Providence and the LA shows from that tour. Robert sounding awesome
  9. Couldn't agree more. Not that I know about the backstage stuff but that with regards to his evaluation of the performances, yes
  10. I for one have come to enjoy his playing in '75 from a stylistic standpoint. He is quite sloppy during the post bow solo during Dazed most of the time (2/12 is a really poor example of this at some points) but he is playing with such an attitude by the latter half of that tour. The Over the Hills solos and No Quarter solos are usually great. An incredibly unique "voice" you could say. But there's no doubt that his skills are truly diminished from what they were in 73. I'd say that his technical skills peaked either during USA 72 or Europe 73, take your pick. My favorite single concert of him playing though would /29/71. He doesn't have the speed he would acquire later on, but he sounds so unique during that show, see the Black Dog, Immigrant Song, and Celebration Day solos for example. And while he isn't really speedy he isn't sloopy/inaccurate either ie 75
  11. I obviously haven't heard them all but 9/19/70 and 9/23/71 are superb. So much energy
  12. If we're talking the NA tours from 73,75,77 then it's the 73 shows at LA, Providence, and Baltimore (Plant's best gig post Japan 72) and Long Beach 75. Really not a fan of 77, unfortunately.
