  1. Which nights are some examples of Jimmy Page shredding that jump to mind?

    The first three that jump to mind are 4/27/1969, 8/23/1971, and 6/22/1977 (OTHAFA namely). Of course there's the entirety of the European tour in 1973.

    Gearing more towards the early years, I'm particularly interested in 1970 - 1972, which concerts jump out at you as evenings where Page is bringing the goods in a way one might describe as shredding?

    1. We had seen Led Zeppelin once before at MSG on September 3, 1971.

    How would you contrast the shows from a live and in-person perspective, the 1971 and 1973 shows?

    Do any major differences jump to mind?


    At that 1971 show you must’ve heard Stairway to Heaven for the first time considering the album wouldn’t release until November. And I can only imagine what it was like to hear No Quarter in 1973.

    Check it out.  The CDC has removed the part about mRNA and spike proteins not lasting long in the body. 

    Old version (June):

    Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC (archive.org)

    Facts About mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines

    mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cannot give someone COVID-19 or other illnesses.

    • mRNA vaccines do not use any live virus.
    • mRNA vaccines cannot cause infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 or other viruses.

    They do not affect or interact with our DNA in any way.

    • mRNA from these vaccines do not enter the nucleus of the cell where our DNA (genetic material) is located, so it cannot change or influence our genes.

    The mRNA and the spike protein do not last long in the body.

    • Our cells break down mRNA from these vaccines and get rid of it within a few days after vaccination.
    • Scientists estimate that the spike protein, like other proteins our bodies create, may stay in the body up to a few weeks.

    Phenomenal catch.

  4. I just started listening to Kiss for the first time. Some rabbit hole I've gone down the past 3-4 weeks. Wow.

    A shame they cancelled their Vegas residency. I'd like to see them once before they call it quits.

    Why, why, why? I prefer my LZ remote, mysterious, unhyped, and uncommercialized.  They can't need the money the licensing of their name and iconography brings in, and I doubt the surviving members would have sold off their rights to approval of stuff like this.  😞

    +1

  6. Can someone explain what the heck is going on here.

    In the second half of the video below is a performance of Rock and Roll. To my ears, it is Southampton. Which recording/bootleg/remix of the show is this? It is the best I have ever heard Bonham's drums sound live. Maybe it is that uploader's specific touch on something like Any Port in a Storm, because APS does not have that same exact incredible drum sound. I hope that the entire concert exists with that type of sound. Any thoughts?!

    For the studio recordings, I assume his bass sounds however Jimmy wanted it to sound. If it was supposed to be up front like on Ramble On, it was. If it was supposed to be farther down in the mix, it was. Also, the low end of his bass was absent from the original records because it was difficult to encode deep bass on LPs. The grooves had to be so large that the needles would jump out, so the low end was cut as a matter of course to prevent that.

    In concert, his bass would have had a tremendous impact, but the cassette decks on which most audience recordings and soundboards were made don't accurately capture it. The reason bands in the '70s initially started to play so loudly was because the PAs were inefficient and needed tons of power to produce bass that hit you in the chest. Doing that made the low end loud, so everything else had to be turned up to match it. (Eventually sheer volume became a bragging right, but it started out with an actual purpose.) And even if professional multi-tracks from live shows back then captured the power in Jonsey's bass, Jimmy isn't going to remaster them with killer low end like someone today would mix a rap album. He's just of a different era where that couldn't be done for so long that it's not part of his repertoire, even if it's easy to do today with digital technology. 

    If that is the case regarding low end being cut for the vinyls. Why would it not hold that that the low end would be transferred to digital when that digitization happened, whenever it was, and would therefore now be present on all digital forms of playback (cd, stream) that come from those digital masters? Was the low end cut out of the original analog master tapes themselves? Or does all that low end still exist somewhere?
