  1. It’s just a bit of a shame. All that money on a big box set like this, which undoubtedly looks great….when, in all probability, we will see EV release the full 929 soundboard within a couple of years (they released the ‘Please Please Me’ teaser). Won’t that mean that this box set becomes outdated pretty soon? 

    I’m not knocking those that buy this, but it’s frigging expensive, and may not be the full and final polished article. I guess if future upgrades come out, I’d feel massively jibbed. That’s why I’m not tempted.


    I just feel the piecemeal release of what we have of 929 (e.g single release of ‘Friends’) was a massive exploitation of customers, when there is certainly more to come. 

     Oh, and I have bought boots.

    I know this is a really old quote, but I’d like to encourage you to finish the Page/Plant Japanese show sometime, especially if it is the 02-15 Osaka show.  I did a matrix of the soundboard and audience sources for that show using my own limited skill and resources for myself, and it sounded OK, but there is a potential for an amazing sounding matrix out of those sources, particularly with your skill since you do such phenomenal work.  Everything you have touched has been magical.  
     

    P.S.  Anyone who has never heard “Ten Years Gone” with the orchestra from the Osaka show needs to hear it - it is mind blowing.  It’s the only time P/P ever did it, and it’s something else.

    Hi mate. I’ve only got the SBD version of this show. Very dry. But if you have a matrix, I’d love to hear it. Even if you only gave me TYG (my favourite Zep song).

    I was fortunate to be able to see Page and Plant 3 times from 95-98. The 1998 show was my second date with my wife. We were at shoreline in the seats, not on the grass where it can be hard to hear things sometimes. But he was absolutely brilliant in 1998. I have a bunch of bootlegs from those years, and he really found his groove in 96 to me, and by 98 was honestly as good as I can remember him being. I certainly wasn’t at the shows that my Mom and dad were able to see at the Filmore in 69 or Winterland. He was insanely creative and imaginative in all of his years that he was active. But 96-1998 to my ears he was as close as he was at his peak. I often go back to the Shepard Bush bootleg when I am nostalgic. There are many shows or almost every show that he was on fire in that time frame.  I miss that time and those years. It went by way to fast. 

    Completely agree -1998….except for the gig I saw him at. Dreadful! Must have been pissed. Big let down

    Not out of the woods yet. We went out deep into the Peaks today and I have never seen so many flooded roads - ever. We've had another bad storm today and a few more forecast next week. It seriously is bad.

    Good luck mate. I’m back from Oz on the 11th, so I hope it settles down

    It is my favorite CDay and you made it sound even better - thank you!  I actually pair up 9/9 with 9/4 as a single album for listening- so I am thrilled about your continued efforts.  

    Finally, (and it might be heresy), but Orlando is my fav 1971 so let me know when you are taking contributions and God Bless, Brother.  :) Mike

    Orlando is a great show

    Similar problem, how does one easily get the DVD work into mp3? Someone with tech skills here must have done this.

    And thanks for the June 27, 77 tip. Sorta embarrassed to admit that I overlooked that one completely. I touched on the other LA concerts a bit, but I didn't dig into this one nearly enough. I just listened from Going Down South thru to Stomp/Dancing Days; that whole section is something special. I'm night consider doing something with all of it. First thoughts are inserting the whole thing somehow into Set G.  Gonna give this some serious consideration.  Thanks again Strider!

    I’ve converted to mp3. I’m away at the moment, but will send you a link when I return next week 

  7. Hey guys, 

    If anyone has 'Intimidating Divinity', I'd really appreciate a link. I'm unable to download it from the JRK Remasters blogspot. 

    Hope you're all keeping safe and having a great Christmas. 

    If you're anal about where shit should be posted, then stop reading now. This is my Christmas message to the good people I've met on this forum. 

    I can honestly say that today is the first day I have truly relaxed 'guilt free' all year. The kids are happy, they're getting older and have their friends around (my boys are 9 and 11)....the weather is good in Western Australia and we are lucky enough to have a pool....I have plenty of shit to do, but it can wait. I even had a kip at lunchtime...in bed....for an hour and a half. And Mrs B is very happy pottering around. 

    @chillumpuffer, I was watching the cricket and I drifted off - it's 43 degrees here today and the air con is struggling  Very Very disappointed that England are now 17/2 in their second innings. If I was a bowler, I'd be tearing the batsmen a new arsehole. Even more disappointed they didn't let the test match in Perth go ahead. My dad was over the last time that happened. I can honestly say it was one of the funniest experiences of both of our lives....the barmy army were in terrific form. 

    Anyway, my kids are showing signs of getting into decent music. I've had a gutful of Ed Sheeran, but at least he plays guitar. Oh, and they love the occasional Zep song, and a lot of the Kinks. Especially Lola. I've taken that as an opportunity to explain all manner of stuff to them - sexuality, cross dressing, transgender etc etc. It was pretty awkard (me more than them), so for further information I've referred them to my Lou Reed and Velvet Underground record collection.   

    I'm in the 'Man Cave' (usually 'Kids Cave') - and I'm just listening to a cassette tape copy I did of my vinyl of JP and the Black Crowes at the Greek....on my vintage Sony system. Yeah sure, the tape doesn't sound as good as the vinyl (which I could play at any time - Dad from 1985 - "you don't want to play the record Neil - get blank tapes and wear them out, not the LP"). It's a nostalgia trip...back to my teenage years. Couple of glasses of red wine to boot. I'm feeling good. And sentimental. Can you tell?

    So yeah. I'm over-sharing, but there you go. Happy Christmas and New Year to my friends on the forum. Thanks for all you do for the Zep community @rm2551 @chillumpuffer @duckman @ZepHead315 @hummingbird69 @SteveZ98. You are all very generous people. I listen to a lot of the shit you have done or have shared on bike rides to and from work...or even on my weekend rides. It's enriched my life. 

    Have a good 2022.

    Neil

    There's no real indication that Page (who would drive everything here) is willing to do even a little bit of work to put out any live archival stuff.  So barring a leak of some kind, I doubt we'll ever see any kind of official release of anything.

    I agree. There was speculation a few years ago that he was working on a Japan ‘71 release, but cracked it when the SBD bootleg emerged. All conjecture and hearsay mind.
