Might wanna look for the recent Graf Zeppelin release, it's awesome. Other than that I'd say get the Liquid Led one.
Guitars still low in the mix on these?

I’ve not heard any that don’t have the guitar really low in the mix

June 25, 1977. Fabulous Forum. A marvelous upgrade in sound from the old EVSD boot I had. If you aren't a subscriber to @ZepHead315's YouTube channel you are missing out.
And what’s more, he’s a very generous guy. Been providing me with links to upgrades for a few years now. He’s a good bloke

Personally I can’t stand bootlegs ..they all sound sound awful to my ears. I’d rather just stick to the official releases ...I’ve never heard anything better than either TSRTS or HTWWW.
Have you heard the Seattle gig from ‘75 (21/3/75) - Custard Pie matrix. It sounds terrific, like an official release.

Who the hell is this Eric Sachs character? And while we’re at it, who is Fish Head?

As a person who loves complete live zep, I would be heartbroken to have the japan shows edited, and songs separated. I will stick with Empress valley in hopes of those whole lotta loves and tokyo shows! Would pay top dollar for unedited How the West was won.. can only dream
They’ll come out soon enough. I’m convinced EV have the complete show of the 29th.

Oh really? Calling me a bootlegger isn't disrespectful?
Let me remind you how this all got started.....
Poor pluribus....if you could only get chance to get some appropriate gear to listen to that set loud...but this is what it is - some compact computer speakers and iPhone in the hand and here we have a final statement from forum's expert. You should stay where you were before, dude. You have absolutely no idea of how the master was leaked out and you only repeating of other people have said.

Because guys like you wants everything for free. This is what I think. We all know that labels like EV have had to pay some serious cash for uncirculated tapes. Then assholes like you are yelling everywhere just because you cannot get these tapes for free. Are you so stupid to not understand that even fuckin' bootleggers have to pay for something? This is the real world we're living in. It's called capitalism. I hate it but what I can do to change it? Cryin' all around for a free download? Calling bootleg buyers a bastards because they don't wanna share with anything with you? There were rhetorical questions because you completely don't understand this. And this is the reason why I'll still calling you a dumb.
I’ve watched this thread, and other threads involving yourself, with a degree of astonishment.
Do you want to just chill out mate?
Whatever the issue, there really isn’t any need for the way you consistently address people on this forum. It’s way past disrespectful.
I suppose I should brace myself for a caustic response.

It's a breach of trust and it's enough to make a now 76 year old guitarist throw his hands up and say the hell with it.
Yep. I think that would be my reaction as well.

Ummmm...I question using JPJ to sing on "Battle of Evermore". 😝
Me too. Musically great. Vocally - dreadful

If anyone has them, I’d appreciate links to the filmore west and Lewisville shows. The other two are terrific

Oh yes. It's just as good as a Millard recording IMO. His portion of it is from Stairway onwards, but I honestly think the newly discovered source that runs up until that point is better. A true gem. I'll help you out..
Me too please mate

Being 14 years old and already an avid Zep head, my first Live Zep experience was a 60 minutes compilation on a reel to reel tape culled from the BB Hill 2LP. Traded it with a class mate for a Woodstock live poster.
I must admit it was a mixed bag of excitement and minor disappointment (Whole Lotta Love sounded thin compared to LZ2, Bonzo sounded 'boxy' and muffled). In 1976 I bought my first Zep boot (Earl's Court on LZL Europe), followed by the (BBC sourced ) Stairway to Heaven on TMOQ. These were much better, in my book. By the time TSRTS came along, my main intrest became....girls😍 and Mighty Zep moved to an honorable second place until the late 80's when I became obsessed again.
After reading the Chris Welch' "Led Zeppelin The book" in 1990, I was wondering how to acquire this avalanche of great live material... I was surprised those 'illicit' live Zep CD's were readily available in most record stores. The infamous 'legal loophole 'period here in Europe when enterprising (German, Italian,...) labels were rehashing American and Japan releases. My first copy was Bonzo at Last (Seagull) covering the last Berlin show. A sheer endless string of live silvers followed: Fillmore 4/27/69 (wow; Train kept a rollin', As Long as I have You,...), BBC Paris Theater 71, Dallas 75, , Zurich 80, Destroyer and my favorite: Osaka 1971.
Other stand out moments;
- the discovery of Texas Pop on Whoopy Cat. Luis Rey 'LIVE' only mentioned a sub par AUD recoding, but discovering this new, superior SB source in my trusted record store was MAGIC
- After two, three years finally tracking down the original silvers of Studio Daze (Scorpio), Bombay Sessions (Tecumseh), V1/2 (Dynamite),...my first Tarantura's
- The soundboard revolution
- the internet of things: discussing Zep with the Dave Lewis, Hugh Jones, Leo Ishac, Eric Sachs and the late Gerard Sparaco 😢
- getting acquainted with Neil, Robert and William here on the forum. wonderful.
In the meanwhile dozens from my original silver collection left the building for better versions, but I still do cherish my humble collection. Even more so in COVID 19 times
fingers crossed for more discoveries and updates
Very kind, thanks Eric

Hot Dog is a joke song with a joke solo, though.
It's not intended to be studied as a serious composition or assessed for comparative purposes with Achilles Last Stand.
Try picturing Jimmy's grinning face while he's flubbing it out. You laughed, right?
There you go, then.Wanton Song

III is still one of my favorite Zep albums, right behind PG, but I agree, Hey Hey What Can I Do is a great song, it should have been on the album.
I’d also put it second behind PG.

Nearly five years in the making...
How The East Was Won, my compilation of the legendary Osaka shows!
Way back in 2015, when I first became a hardcore Zep fan, I heard the Osaka shows for the first time and have dreamed since then of having both shows combined into the greatest live album ever. The first night I started working on it, I became a bit emotional knowing that one of my dream projects was finally coming together.
And now I'm finally finished and proud to share it with all of you!
About 75% of the music comes from the soundboard sources, which was as much as I could possibly do. The rest of it comes from the best sounding versions of the stage source I could find. The versions used for the 29th are Ledsox, Winston, and Wendy; the 28th is the LZ Rarities remaster, and I thank them all for their hard work!
As the soundboards sound a bit different from each other, all songs are the full version from the respective night I chose with the exception of Dazed and Confused. Most of the song is from the 29th, except the last 4 minutes which are from the 28th. I decided not to fill in the gap in the soundboard with the stage source since this section of the song was performed better on the 28th anyway.
There are one or two more songs I'd like to try and splice from both nights if the boards are ever remastered to sound as similar to each other as possible, but overall, this is at least 90% what I wanted the album to sound like almost from the very beginning.
Hopefully v1.0 won't be the last (surely the rest of the WLL soundboard will show up sooner or later), but even if it is, I am very happy with it and I hope you enjoy it!
I will be sharing this on other music forums, but since this was the first LZ forum I joined, you saw it here first!
Thanks for your work on this, it’s great
