Yes, the 2 Bonus Discs will feature the newly transfered & mastered Flying Rock Carnival aka source 7- so hopefully no more major sound issues from What Is And What Should Never Be onwards. Always loved that source, great to get the complete undamaged treasure after all these years. Nevertheless, Tarantura will present their ultimate version of the 23rd on 3 CDs containing master/1st gen transfers of the best sounding sources. (F.R.C source 7, First Attack Of The Rising Sun source 5, Reflection From A Dream source 4 and Front Row source 2)
Great boots are on the way, and I hope the Odense tape has better sound quality than the Copenhagen show.
So this release is just the 23rd separate release and not part of the big box set of Japan '71 that was news issued around Xmass time via Pb Museum?
-
Great news . . . can somebody help clarify, I read the notes on the back of the new release images above, does this mean the 23rd show now has a "clean" recording of the last half of the show, especially Whole Lotta love medley where it's not muffled and warlbely sounding versus the Flying Rock Carnival Complete released on the No Label from 2009 roughly? Thanks in advance!

I have been reading replies to this post for awhile now and have enjoyed the many ideas and opinions. I have listened to many of these shows mentioned here but I keep coming back to FEBRUARY 14 - NASSAU VETERANS MEMORIAL COLISEUM, NY. when needing a '75 fix! The band is top notch form and Plant especially sounds healthy and strong given his struggles during this tour. This show is easily in the top 5 (top 3 in my rankings) for the '75 tour and my personal favorite.

Do people still buy this stuff? I know of several sites that will upload it the day after it's released. My days of paying $100 for a bootleg are long gone. Drop me a PM if you need to know where to get these things.
The short answer is yes, otherwise they would have stopped making/selling them a long time ago.

Think they already have it mate.
What makes you think that, as many times in the past they love releasing new material on anniversaries. Hope you're right though.

Well for a start, they have the rest of the 29/9/71 soundboard as the teaser of Twist and Shout was released. I was hoping it would come out this year, but it will probably be next.
I agree, but I was damn sure they were holding it for the anniversary two months ago but not to be. Me now thinks they have yet to buy the rest from another party. Strange business we are all involved in!

As the title says.
Mine would have to be either Led Zeppelin's cover of 'Stand By Me' by Ben E. King or their outstanding versions of 'Blueberry Hill.' But as far as Whole Lotta Love goes? Probably New York's 1970 show which included, "excellent jam on the riff from Jeff Beck's Rice Pudding. The Everybody Needs Somebody to Love section at the end of the theramin freakout is a chaotic explosion of energy. The riotous marathon medley includes I Believe I'll Dust My Broom, John Lee Hooker's Bottle Up and Go, another excellent Lawdy Miss Clawdy at Plant's urging, Cinnamon Girl over the For What it's Worth theme, Some Other Guy, Train Kept a Rollin' with Stroll On lyrics, I'm a King Bee, Tommy McClennan's Baby Don't You Want to Go?, Freddie King's See See Baby, Jimmy Reed's You Got Me Runnin', and Muddy Waters's Honey Bee. One of the best and most elaborate thus far."
I agree wholeheartedly, it doesn't get any better than that medley in NYC. Although the one in Royal Albert Hall during How Many More is damn fine too, especially in video AND in punchy soundboard quality!
-
Blueberry Hill . . . matrix version, since this one came out I come back to it time and again!
Hard & Heavy, Leichester '71
Royal Albert Hall '70

I am getting my hopes up for this new source for Sydney, Australia, 27th show. anyone heard if this source is an improvement over the previous? Great heavy show . . . I'd take that as a good step towards being satisfied, but would to be long-term- temporarily satisfied if both nights of LA Forum 1971 would be discovered.
-
Good list, BUT I would add without hesitation both LA 1971 shows, Japan 24th, and the1971 March shows, especially KB Hallen.
-
Great news for sure . . . Possibly a dumb question here, BUT is this the anticipated release as mentioned above, as the "unveiling" day was set for later this week correct? Or . . . did the news leak out early, or is this just a great week in Zeppelin releases?!
-
I have my favorites sort of separated by year, not sure why, but the 1971 years were the best, but one could say that for just about anything related to live Zep performances during '71 compared to the rest. The version that sticks out the most, especially connected to Page's soloing is Seattle 1973 . . . just a scorching rendition, and his guitar is prominent (guitar sounds tuned a little different maybe?) in the recording which show-cases his playing even more.

LTTE: The opening, TSRTS... w/Bonzo destroying the drum set, and the exploding cheers of the crowd... it literally lifts my mood and shaves serious time on exercise. I'm hooked at the beginning so badly, it carries me (most) of the way through.
Close second = 9/29 was my first bootleg... "Where's Bonzo..." I never tire of that concert and have been regularly listening to it ?30 yrs. I don't even think I owned all of the studio albums at the time i got it.
Agreed on June '77 . . . That opening salvo is so damn intense it sounds like the entire arena is about to explode, and sonically it does! Bonzo played out of his mind the full 3 hours.

Because you are listening to a crappy soundboard. The soundboard makes Jimmy's guitar and well, practically everything else sound worse than it actually was. Just compare this soundboard with the audience tape from the next night, April 28. The difference is night and day. For instance, listen to how much more fuller and warm Jonesy's acoustic guitar on "Ten Years Gone" sounds on the 28th compared to the the soundboard of the 27th. Even Bonham's drums sound better on the 28th audience tape than the 27th soundboard.
My apologies for veering slightly off topic, but what release of the 28 show is a good one, as I have last year's T2000 of both nights and there's something muffled about it that makes it difficult to commit to for very long? Thanks in advance.

Medley, the word I first met in the zep's CD cover of BBC sessions. I have found that zep enjoyed to make some medleys in such songs as, HMMTs, WLL, DaC, NQ. Could you please recommend any good medleys in houndreds of zep's live? Thanks in advance.
One of all time favorites is from Whole Lotta . . . Japan 24, '71, sound isn't so great, but oh man is Plant's voice strong and they include some rarities as well!

Not on this one but rumour has it that Tarantura2000 is releasing both newly mixed “Long Beach Arena Shows”, 1975-03-11 & 12
They are, coming in the next few weeks I've heard . . .basically upgrading the 12th show with the better sounding sources that aren't so bass heavy or boomy as used in Bootleg License.

Tonight on Twitter @cdmuseumpb:
"Mastering of Led Zeppelin 6 CD box is completed, and sound quality check is completed. The release is in October. A talented engineer will spend a lot of time mastering. I don't compromise."Is that in connection to the upcoming Bootleg License upgrade coming out soon maybe? Hmmm

I'm listening to a boot of Offenburg 1973 as I write. Rough recording but wonderful performance.
What is the back story on the boot? I've heard better but this ain't bad from the audience.... yes, it really isn't bad.... I can hear JPJ bass on TSRTS.... quite nice.
This may be their best show of 73. No flaws. Everyone was on tonight.
Any news for a soundboard for the show? Thanks.
The '73 European run is the most intense series of concerts they played throughout their careers, AND Offenburg (in my opinion) is the best from those 5-6 shows. Page, Bonham, and Jonesy are just ferocious during that run, especially Page in the show you mention; and Plant sounds better too, compared to the previous nights. I don't know which bootleg you have, but there are some excellent sounding releases of this night. I've never heard of any soundboard for Offenburg, but many of the previous nights have partial soundboards---(give a listen to Vienna's Heartbreaker intro for a sample in-case you've missed it thus far) out there, so never say never.
-
I could come up 10 easily, but they are all mentioned many times already above. I would only add that the '71 LA Forum shows are exceptional, outstanding, and in my opinion the best of the 1971 tour, minus a few from Japan, . . . oh how I wish another better sounding source would pop out of the ground soon. The singing, Page's playing, the medleys are first rate, and Bonham's drums sound absolutley thunderous in the sources we already have. That's all I have to say about that . . .

Excellent read, thanks Strider and great work. Can someone point me to the night owl matrix please????
Its been selling on Ebay for awhile now and that's where I found mine, good luck.

You can do whatever you want, but unless you have a problem with science and the long history of human created vaccines/cures (small pox for instance) and the advance of medicine especially over the last 100 plus years, it seems a no brainier. If you trust engineers to build a plane that can take off, fly, then land safely, then you should have no trouble trusting the field of medicine. There are no guarantees in life, but hedge your bets and go with the option that gives you a little extra insurance.

My favorite from the '73 tour is Kezar, SF, Bonham keeps a cool groove on his high-hat that I have yet to come across in any other version. . .

An immense talent. An immense loss. Really a shame he couldn't keep his demons in check. For if that Peter Green-Jeremy Spencer-Danny Kirwan lineup of Fleetwood Mac had stayed together they would have given Led Zeppelin a run for their money in the blues-rock sweepstakes. Much more than Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, that's for sure.
Unfortunately, whether because of drugs or pre-existing psychological conditions, all three guitarists...Peter, Danny, and Jeremy...went a bit nuts.
Green was the godhead of tone. It was sheer bliss listening to him play. And yet, 90% of Fleetwood Mac fans still seem unaware of the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac. If there is any justice may his death shine a light on his era for the enlightenment of the masses.
R.I.P. Peter Green.
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac Live 1968-1970.
Mick F. said something very similar in his book that came out in the early '90s, that their (he believed) success was on par with early Zeppelin and might have continued along the same trajectory. Jeremy Spencer was outstanding player in his own right too, his slide playing and signing Elmore James songs live was bombastic and top-notch! So strange how the guiratists all veered off on confused paths.

The Peter Green Fleetwood Mac's run at the Boston Tea Party in February 1970 is essential listening.
A great run indeed, was it one or two nights of playing in Boston? During these recordings in Boston and of course others too, he was able to play so sweet and gentle, BUT when he decided to cut loose and dig in deep he was out of this world!!! Some of the most biting, raw powerful playing I've ever heard! He was good at leaving people wanting more, very selective and careful not to overdo it.
Does anyone know during the live performance of Green Manalishi, is that Green playing bass before and after the long drum/congo section, or is that him on guitar playing the lower registers--sorry not sure if that's the correct way to describe it . . .?
4 May 71 Odense, Denmark show to be released

Thanks for the reply. So if there are no major improvements to the other Japan shows (and many people like me most probably already have the 24th, 27th, 28 & 29th), and if I wanted just the 23rd show, I need to buy the entire box at probably 500$ or more just for that show eh? If so, that's a tough call for an average Joe like me. Yikes.
