It's back. This was up for years and then it was taken down a while back. When I first heard this I wondered is this for real? I still wonder that sometimes. Now if someone would make a version that had the drums turned up a bit.

Indeed. After over 40 years of listening to Zep live recordings I am getting to the point that if the bass and drums are not clear and strong in the mix I cannot listen for any length of time. Lucky for me there are so many great recordings and remasters out there with great bass and drums.

Saw these guys recently in a small theatre. Fantastic show. Two first rate guitarists from Germany, trading solos on many tunes. They had a different bass player for this tour in the States but he was just as good.

This sounds fantastic. The bass tone is killer. Your remasters are always a treat. Thank you.

The Drew Carey Show Episode: In Ramada Da Vida, 1998 Drew and the guys get their band back together. Drew has to leave before the second set and they say to him "What about the Led Zeppelin medley? We can't do Whole Lotta Love without the accordion!"

I agree. It could have been the opener in 1975, or maybe Wanton Song as the opener. By 1975 Rock and Roll was worn out, and Plant couldn't sing it any better than he could sing Wanton Song or Custard Pie. Now some may think you can't open a show with a new song, but in summer 1970 they were opening with the unreleased Immigrant Song. One thing Custard Pie would lack live would be the funky Clavinet parts. So cool. Or maybe he could have played bass pedals? The problem then would be a quick transition to a second song with no instrument changes. So after all, maybe Wanton Song as the opener? Custard Pie is as raunchy as Wanton Song. I can still remember in high school in 1975 they let kids play albums in the cafeteria during lunch. Of course the "popular" kids always controlled the tunes. There was a lot of good stuff, and one day they blasted Custard PIe right after Graffiti came out. There were the cheerleader types up front dancing to Custard Pie in their high heeled clunky platform 1975 shoes with either short skirts or hot pants, or long slacks with the oversized flares from back then, and bare midriff tops. A wild scene. I think one time after Custard Pie, Tush was the next song.

Steve what a great choice you made for your next project. Superb reinvigoration of an all time classic. Thank you so much for all your remasters and for sharing.

I like the way they talk about the short drum intro to Moby Dick. Seemingly simple but so effective and on point.

Hall of Fame voting baffles me sometimes. Todd Helton gets in and Andruw Jones still does not. Helton won 3 gold gloves at first base. Jones won 10 gold gloves in centerfield. Where do the best defensive players play? SS/3B and centerfield. Helton's batting stats are inflated by playing in Denver. His home/away splits are very drastic. Jones home/away batting splits are all about even. Jones had more home runs, and hit a few more of them away. Helton hit 62% of his homers at home. Helton slugging was 0.469 away and 0.607 at home. Jones away slugging was 0.496, home about the same. In other words, by any measure, Jones was the better player.

Such a great thread. Fantastic stuff. Thank you.

Really enjoying this alternate compilation. Thanks again.

This sounds great. Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic ! Bass sound greatly improved. Drums, amazing. Thank you.

Prof Stoned version is great. Another good version is the one from JRK. His website is no longer up, but you can find it on Guitars101 and Black Beauty (label listed as "JK")

Looking forward to hearing the new version of the whole show. I can still remember the original How the Time Flies remaster, how much excitement there was among my friends as that version circulated way back when. I am listening to No Quarter right now from the first release of the Stereo Project of this show. Fantastic.

Just for his bass playing alone Jones was irreplaceable, so integral to the Zeppelin sound, especially with only one guitar on stage. His interaction with Page and Bonham was so unique. A lot of people are great bass players but not one of them could replace Jones and have it work as Led Zeppelin. I cannot imagine Page or Bonham wanting to play with anyone else as part of Led Zeppelin.

Looking forward to when you complete the show. The sample sounds great. And yes, No Quarter from 1975 is one of Zeppelin's peak artistic achievements.

I saw Link Wray with Robert Gordon in 1979. Fantastic show. Link was a force of nature !

https://www.pickasobow.com/pages/our-story Full website has some videos on how to use this thing and what it sounds like. Kind of limited because you can play only 2 adjacent strings at once but cool nonetheless. I may try one.

A band I used to be in played this. A bit tricky to get all the timing right. A Bill Monroe classic.

A favorite at the local weekly bluegrass jam.
