Nothing to get exited about after the semi debacle of the much anticipated largely disappointing companion disc "campaign". More a case of what shit are we going to get conned with this time, just wish it was all over and done with, time to move on...
Plenty to be excited about. Page said new live release and that it won't be the last.
If you are so turned off by it you don't have to concern yourself with it, you realize.

I bet they're all excited about it, or will be.

See Jimmy's comments on Syd and Jimi, believe it !
Very interesting article to get a glimpse of the times.

"I know there were a lot of words, but if you actually read them you will understand Crimson Avengers opinion of the vocalists’ prowess."
There is only one way that the above comes across. Very unnecessary. I asked him to elaborate on something I was curious about.
Which he did, thanks crimson.

I thought you were all about peace and love Walter?

What did you think of the singer's voice live?
I like his voice on the albums but not much at all live. It doesn't sound like there's power behind it, just falsetto highs. No real intensity. That's my biggest gripe when people say he sounds like (early) Plant...he really doesn't to me, he can't get as high and there is just no power to it. I wonder if you thought otherwise seeing him live.

If anyone wants to post a review particularly on the sound it would be very, very welcome (is it noticeably less brickwalled?)! I won't be able to listen to mine until next weekend... damnit.
I figure this topic belongs in the Reissues section, unless I'm wrong.

Edit: At 2:15 is that his voice? It looks like it.

Cannot get this out of my head.

One of the most intense shows I've heard.
EDIT: FWIW, after completing my listen to this show again tonight...I downgrade it just a touch! Remains one of Plant's all-time performances as far as I'm concerned, but after listening to other shows for the first time recently from this era, it's just too short, for whatever reason Page does not seem exceedingly revved up, though he does play pretty damn nicely within the framework he sets forth. Seems like an overall contained performance, and within that containment, they go absolutely ape shit, if that makes any sense to anyone whatsoever! Example being he hardly let's Plant do the boogie rap. They just start boogying!

Great company. Recently purchased an espresso machine from them. Using it twice a day everyday.

Our front yard party spot underneath a large magnolia. I wish some of us could get together here sometime for smoking and drinking and Zeppelin bootlegs!
Spicy sweet wings smoked in fig wood smoke (Thanks Jabe!) for brunch.
Today's music, Brandi Carlile.
The family, they only hang out if there's a nice warm fire. Note the mixer tree (grapefruit so bitter that the only use for it is to mix with tequila!)
Meat just oozing off the bones, no one choose to use the sauce, that tells you something...
Wow, absolutely awesome setup.

We can add a new event to the timeline, as per the recent hour long interview of Plant that was posted on the forum. He recalls that before one of the gigs (I believe he said Melbourne) he could hardly say a word. He went to a doctor who "gave him some adrenaline" and Plant went out there and powered through the concert. He notes, as is obvious, that this is "devastating" for a singer's well-being.

What an awesome, awesome interview.
Reaffirms his legendary greatness.

Best solo from JP ever???
It's a real powerhouse.

Great article.
Two comments in particular caught my attention:
"Page enjoyed his finest moments when he minimized the distortion on the tone of his guitar. Then the audience could pick out what he was picking."
Generally I feel like distortion comes through less on the bootlegs in 1977 but it sounds like if you were there you might not think so. Another tidbit as to why the bootlegs are wonderful to have but really are just so dang far from what it was like to be there (of course).
"Plant didn't try to impress the crowd as a great singer. He isn't. ...His style is to be shrill and fall off the notes soon after he hits them."
Dang! Harsh stuff!

I listened to these five in the gym today, talk about getting pumped up:
And Rock and Roll --> Sick Again from Montreal 1975! In that order.

One of my all time favorite Heartbreakers. Bonham and Plant go ape.
Also Jones is nicely up in the mix.

Anyone know why there are so many in 1969?
What the heck happened in 1972??? Australia, USA, Japan, UK and not one? A little strange...

Watch Plants reaction to Page's talking about live Zep stuff...its fucking priceless. Page is keen to speak on the subject, but Plant starts twitching and then says: "well that happened a few years ago. I think we're playing better now than we did then". And watch how Plant gets his shit shut down by this interviewer and audience after his inane comment.
20 years later and The Shit Remains The Same
I think you misinterpreted...as I see it the interviewer and audience are saying how awesome the performance they just gave was, in response to Plant saying how great they are playing right now even compared to the Zep years. There was no shutting down of Plant's shit so far as I can tell.
I don't agree with him that he's better now than ever but I understand him saying it. It wouldn't be fun to think that the best has come and gone.
