Spoken like a man who has never seen an Everton game in his life.
Ha! I just spat out my coffee. Everton! Jesus Christ. I'm from the red half of the city. As Shankley said "if Everton were playing in my garden I'd draw the blinds"

Can't wait for the return at anfield

Keep changing my mind on this. Someone earlier in this thread put me onto Baton Rouge 75.
I reckon that's the best

Achilles Last Stand is also the best album opener of any album ever.
Great great song no doubt, but IMHO I prefer the openers to the first three albums. I always think GTBT says "ok we're fuckin here". Not as complex as ALS but that riff and drum beat has shitloads of attitude.
I also think the opening track on 'Wish You Were Here' is pretty special....but obviously a very different style

Do you have the original 1976 TSRTS album? Either on vinyl or the first cd release? A simple A>B comparison will show you what you are missing.
Yes, the sound is improved...but not enough to compensate for the gouged bits.
Striders right Mook. After having the original vinyl I couldn't fuckin believe the change when I heard the re-release. Now, my go to version is the Heywood version. It has the best of everything - the extra songs, the original edits, the plantations, "thankyou" at the end and just an all round better mix to boot

Back in the day, this was the original (1976) version of the "Celebration Day" song that appeared on The Song Remains The Same soundtrack, the difference from current version happens around 2:25, a version I find more appealing -- but was probably scrapped due to video restrictions.
That's fuck all compared to how they butchered No Quarter. Shocking!

EV will probably get wind of it and offer the guy or gal a few bucks to let them have it. It will then get released as part of a box set of all previously released 1971 boots. Retail price to you $3,799. Who's gonna stump up first?

Hey y'all -- just realised, the only sound of Zurich I have (29/06/80), which I am giving a good listen to right now, are MP3's.
Anyone suggest where a goof FLAC may be acquired? I'd love to hear the Trampled from this show - possibly the BEST EVER (love to hear alternative suggestions).
Cheers brothers and sisters....
Sent you a PM

Correct, but according to Curbishley Page received a greater share than the others when he sold his right's in the 80's because he was the producer. Thus, why should he get a second bite at the same apple? Sorry, but to me that does not seem fair. Curbishley did for Page & the boys what they could not do on their own, since Page received the larger payout originally, everything should have been split equally, four ways, going forward.
Agree. Hence my comment above. You're looking a gift horse in the mouth and still you want more

Sounds to me from the interview that Page & Plant fell out with Grant in the early 80's, likely due to the sale of publishing to Atlantic and his drug issues at the time. Think that the deal to sell the publishing may have been Grant's idea and after Page & Plant obliged they later had "sellers remorse" and blamed Grant. Regarding Plant's falling out with Curbishley, from what Curbishley stated, it appears Plant is all about Plant and everyone else is secondary. I also got a bit of a hint that maybe Plant has a rather duplicitous nature in regard to relationships both personal and business and thus Curbishley may have felt slighted somehow.
This is all conjecture of course but from what was both said and not said in the interview, that is what I came away with. Funny because I would not think Jimmy of all people would have held a grudge against Grant for a possible bad business deal due to Grant's drug problems at the time. After all, Jimmy was smacked out as well and is kinda blaming the kettle for being black. Now regarding Jimmy being pissed and firing Curbishley because he believed he should have gotten the lion's share of publishing...oh yeah, that right there is 100% Jimmy.
Really makes you think doesn't it Ipman....how much money do people really need? I mean for FFS these guys are loaded anyway

What was the reason for the bad blood between Page/Plant and Grant?

Glastonbury is a corporate, shit, sell out of a festival. Full of glittery wannabes who really don't give a shit who is actually performing as long as they are "seen" to be there. Waving their flags and singing along to some nobody, whilst screaming when some old dodder takes the stage and sings songs written before even their parents were born. They really think this is "far out man" but to be truthful it is like London but in the countryside. Glastonbury ceased to be a cool festival in the (early) 1990's.They trudge it out every year and the BBC put hours of wasted air space, and my license money, on it. It is all I hate in a festival
These, cough cough, "festival goers" think it's all hippy dippy, love for all peace man. They put on their weekend bo-ho stuff and strut about looking "cool". In reality it's an overblown, over subscribed rip off at £238.00 even before you have had a beer at 4 quid and the oh so organic bean stew at 8 quid. A joint - forget that. It's all about staring into an i-phone and phoning Mumsy to let her know they are still living. Of course it all depends on the weather - too hot and you burn like a slice of toast, too wet and it's a mud city.
So after 4 days of the odd band, famous or unheard of, it's back to the office in London or Bristol with tales of how they saw The Foo Fighters from a mile back and how bad the toilets were. But it was "like yah,you know, really cool"
If Eavis really thinks Led Zeppelin will play this hell on earth then I bet no one here would get a ticket and you would have to put up with 3 days of shit before you see them - then you won't because some twat would be their friends shoulders waving their arms to Stairway to Heaven
One Big Yawn
Unlike you to pour scorn on London and Londoners. Glad to see you haven't lost your touch bud

Just stole a mp3 copy of Tokyo Japan 1972/10/02 after previously dismissing the Japan '72 run besides that glorious performance of Thank You in Nagoya 1972/10/05.
Have you heard the thankyou solo from 31/8/71 Orlando? Amazing. Check out 'Florida Sunshine'.

It's Saturday morning. And that means 'me time'. Time for a 3 hr ride on my racer with the earbuds.

Were you the guy passing out brown acid at Woodstock?
The same way the Beatles broke and recreated the molds for what was possible in Pop/Rock music, Zeppelin created new templates for Rock/Hard Rock. While LZ excelled in failing to give proper credit, all bands have and continue to lean on and borrow from influences to create new music. Bur few (any?) have created as body of varied influential epics on par with "Stairway To Heaven", "No Quarter", "The Rain Song", "Kashmir", "Ten Years Gone", "Down By The Seaside", "In The Light", "Achilles Last Stand", "Nobody's Fault But Mine", "In The Evening", "Carouselambra" as well as definitive examples of psychedelic rock, blues rock, acoustic rock, country rock, jazz-fusion and progressive rock while setting standards in songwriting, production and performance.
The degree to which Led Zeppelin affected not only it's contemporaries and future rockers but artists outside the realm of Rock music can't be calculated, only under-estimated.
Very articulate

I've never bought a bootleg cd or anything on vinyl. When you buy the digital versions, do they come on a cd in MP3 format? Or are they FLAC files on a data disc? And what's the difference between 'silvers' and 'non silvers'? I'm curious. I'm hoping to have a man-cave finished in a year or two and I'm gonna get my dads old turntable out of his loft. I may start getting some vinyl and digital boots. Preferably vinyl
Cheers

When Freezer gave the 1977 Baton Rouge show to the head of the Traders Den site in 2008, he gave her the 1971 show as well. Nine years later, we're still waiting...
I'd be more interested in the '71 show. '77 was nailed by the Millard tapes.
Nutrocker - as far as you know is there this much animosity in trading circles in relation to other bands? I've read up on the Freezers Revenge stuff and seen some of the posts between Art (?) and other collectors. I mean, holy fuck!!! It gets real nasty.
