WTF is happening with Plant's face?

I’m gonna play devil’s advocate and confess that I’m struggling to get excited about this.
The fables of their crossing of paths and gradual rise have been repeated ad-nauseam in various pieces of media. Its no coincidence that they’ve almost never given the green light on properly documenting the later years, even though there’s a very clear demand for the warts n all arc of the band. Obviously its a no brainer as to why the band have done what they can to avoid exposing the not so great times, but the selfish part of me just wants the red tape removed already.

Watching how they looked and moved during this period compared to ‘77 and even ‘73 is just crazy. A band with so many phases in both their aesthetic and attitude.
An incredible piece of history!

Thanks. I had heard the organ noises, but didn't know that he played the drums. And it was surprising that they actually set up a couple of drums on stage specifically for him, as opposed to him just banging on one of the drums on Bonzo's kit. Although I suppose you do not want to be messing with Bonzo's drums when he's in the zone.
In all fairness, if your hand was in the wrong place at the wrong time then Bonzo’s swing would probably snap your hand clean off!

I had done a string of 1971 and 1973 reviews before returning to 77 with this show and it was quite a shock, possibly setting a record for low ratings
I can imagine that’d be a pretty heavy shift, especially if you’d been listening to the European tour of 73.
I’ve been trying to listen to any other show from 77 that isn’t Eddie but in all honesty they’re a fucking chore to get through, although even the worst shows do highlight just how good Bonham and Jones are with the focus off Jimmy.

Sounds massive, really nice balance with the bass as well.
A link would be great when you get the chance, thanks!

Thanks for the kind words. When I work on a show, I spend so much time checking out how the instruments sound that I don't really hear what they're playing. It's not until I'm done that I listen to the performance and I realized this show is one of my favorites from the post-1973 era. For me, Dazed is a highlight, as is OTHAFA, and as you mentioned, No Quarter is excellent. For those who haven't heard the remaster, here's a sample of No Quarter. And if anyone wants the link for the full show, send me a message:
I’d love a link too, this is some quality stuff!

Really enjoyed that, always nice to get an insight into how others see the band and their music, given that there are so many nuanced periods throughout their short career (69-71, 73-75, 76-79)
Definitely agree on No Quarter being one of the bands centerpieces live, although I don’t much care for how it changed in 77 with the blues jam ruining (imo) the spirit of the song. They had it down to a T (especially JP) back as far as 73 and should’ve kept the structure the same.
I digress, do you have any other podcasts out?
Cheers!

Probably most of the new PG songs were composed in mid-late '73 (the recording sessions began that fall but reconvened at the start of the next year), but the "backlog" songs were all from 70-72, no? (I.e. from sessions for earlier albums.)
Wow I didn’t realise they’d used material from as early as 70, just makes you wonder how much stuff isn’t on CODA

The only ones I've heard are from Chicago '73 and Minneapolis '75, but I'm far from an authority on this topic so there could be ones I'm missing. Both of those two I mentioned have lots of cool stuff though.
Yeah there’s some great stuff going on in the one I’ve listened to, I guess with the absence of a crowd it inspires a different kind of mindset
7 hours ago, pluribus said:The sound check that has been around for years is from Chicago 1973. It’s not from 72 or from Minneapolis 75. The Wanton Song is a rough sketch because they had yet to finish the song and record it. As heard on the soundcheck recording, only that interlude had been developed by that point.
The only other soundcheck out there is from 1/21/73, from the show in Southampton the day before the multi-tracked show on 1/22. That soundcheck is mainly Plant and Bonham , isn’t very long, and doesn’t sound very good.
If I had to guess, the band probably had many of their soundchecks recorded.
I suppose this is another example of things that have been recorded but are being held in Page’s vault until further notice 😮
Do you reckon the song was completed towards the end of 73 and was one of those backlog tracks that eventually ended up on PG?

Hey all, hope everyone is keeping well amidst this unfortunate pandemic.
Was listening to a recording of a live rehearsal from 1972 recently, and noticed that Jimmy was teasing what would eventually become the Leslie-drenched double stop progression following the main riff in the Wanton Song. He deviates a lot from the actual song and plays some really cool improv around the idea with Bonzo thundering behind, a really cool look into how they develop ideas loosely.
My question is, how many recorded soundchecks (if any) other than this are around?

Hey all,
After working on the Boss Tone Studio for months, I'm finally satisfied with everything and am pleased to share this with any Katana amp owners on this site :)
This patch is based entirely on Jimmy's SuperLead Marshall that he used for the MSG run for their film TSRTS (allegedly modded with KT88's).
Hope it's up to scratch, enjoy (link to download below)

Keith Richards is just high up on his little pedestal, so he doesn’t really have much of a worldly view touring with that corpse of a band.
At least he acknowledges that Jimmy was lightyears ahead of him musically, but that doesn’t excuse his comments about JB, especially with that metronome of a drummer in the Rolling Stones.

Presence is the album I normally hover over on iTunes, just such a great record.
Each song is so different, yet they fit perfectly into the album.
Achilles Last Stand is also the best album opener of any album ever.
