  1. How's the sound, are most instruments up front and clear?
  2. Oh my goodness, funniest thread on this site bar none . . . thanks all, good stuff, I accidentally spit out my whiskey reading some of those replies! Keeping Pushing all!
  3. There was a delay in shipping them out and most are on the way starting yesterday and today. We will know soon . . .
  4. My two favorites for Kashmir are from 1975: Long Beach 11th--first night--a night most people "poo poo" due to a few songs flubs . . . and Feb 14 . . . I think that due to Plant's voice being tops and Bonham's tight drum pacing followed by the snare to cymbal explosions after each break. The 14th is in my opinion one of the best nights of '75, and I am not a big fan of most 1975 concerts overall.
  5. Well it appears that is not the case, as Empress Valley announced an "almost" complete Vancouver 1971 show coming out soon w/ pic of the box set . . . must be connected to Japan! Great news
  6. Thank you, maybe that was who that was associated with and not Zeppelin. I have been reading about those people and bands/songs you mentioned over the last few days in connection to that phrase which is interesting as well, but nothing about a music critic's concert review connected to falling metal which is funny in it's own right. Looking forward to what you find out and where from. Thanks
  7. I am Zeppelin fan, especially of their live material and have been collecting since the early '90s when I first stumbled across a bootleg in a record/head shop in Minneapolis. I am a teacher that has kids do an in-depth research project each year on the topic of their choice. This year I have a couple boys who are researching Elvis' influence on British bands. I rattled off a story that was in the back of my mind and for the life of me cannot find anywhere on the net or in my few books, "Led Zeppelin Live" by Luis Rey . . . I could have sworn I read a blurb about some music critic (from Seattle I want to say) that wrote a blistering description after seeing them live and stated something to the effect, "their music sounded like heavy metal crashing to the ground." Is there anyone out there that has come across this, or did I garble this up from multiple stories and time periods? There are multiple people/stories about the first coining of the phrase 'Heavy metal' but have had no luck chasing this one down My students wanted to use that quote in their project but now I cannot back it up via research. Thanks in advance
  8. I just received mine today and will let you know after a few days, I know where I am looking first and that is the 23rd, to see if the last half of the show has big improvements compared to the original Flying Carnival that came out I 2009 I think. Stay tuned.
  9. Congrats, mine shipped just 2 days ago from the land of the rising sun and it's already in the states and in the nearby town, just missed today's delivery and will get it Monday now. I'd love to know how the last half of Rock Carnival sounds, especially WLLove medley! No worries either way but hoping for a nice sound improvement on that one.
  10. It's not my favorite tour as a whole, but some of the heaviest concerts they played where done there. I love Adelaide 19th and the 2nd to last show in Sydney, great stuff and just hard driving ferocious playing, even Plant's voice was top-notch for many of those shows.
  11. Oh yes, I have paid some hefty price points over the years, but have learned the hard way what's worth the big bucks and what's not. Most of those I have luckily sold to break even. I am definitely involved in a mild obsession that I have sort of tamed. But this Japan box is one I can't quite pass up for many reasons. Thanks for breaking it down to cd price, sounds cheap when you explain it like that!?!
  12. Here's the other 180 degree view . . . It was about 470$ , not quite a 1,000, but your welcome . . . anything else you might be needing?
  13. I, like many of you, have had this concert seared into my psyche over the past many decades, it is amazing to actaully see them play these songs after hearing them in my imagination after all these years . . . Crazy good stuff here!
  14. I have prayed (and I'm a no show catholic for the last 35 years) for this show (or the next night) in better sound quality since first hearing it many moons ago. . . could this be an answer? Cryptic info explained on this thread, is there more or should I go to church this Sunday for the first time in decades?
  15. I think Enigma did great on the Bloomington soundboard/audience mix and the '69 Winterland shows too.The Rock Carnival 23rd show was superb sounding except when it got to the last few songs especially Whole Lotta Love medley where it fluctuates and the sound dims down and is somewhat muffled as opposed to being over processing/-ed, but I could be wrong. That's what I am hoping for after reading the liner notes shown in the images of the 23rd set on the first page of this thread, it reads to me like the tape is different or keeps the same sound quality throughout instead of the drop off near the last hour of the show. Getting that medley in great sound quality will be HUGE it that's what it turns out to be . . . Here's hoping!
