Nobody's Fault But Mine - I always thought it sounded like a black hole collapsing in on itself after Plant's brilliant stuttering ending Yes ! A few more Tea for One - perfect hazy ending Hots on for Nowhere - as described above by many Night Flight - Plant is magnificent Bring it on Home - especially that last harmonica note Heartbreaker - the way they end abruptly on "Heart!"

Fantastic!

Years ago when I read Geoff Emerick's book about recording the Beatles I was struck by the bittersweet tale of when this song was recorded. Geoff says that this was the last time the Beatles really had fun recording together. It was early 1968 just before they went to India. Such a great bass workout for Paul - what a sound with the bass!

Sweet ! Thanks for sharing that one.

I finally had some time to go through some of the posts on this thread. Hats off to you on your nice work on these, especially Mobile 1973. I always enjoy a mix where I can really hear what Jones is doing. Thanks.

Here are a few photos of when I stayed at Boleskine for a few nights in 2000. Mrs. McGillvary (spelling?) was a lovely hostess and the food was wonderful. She asked us if we knew the history of the house, and when we played dumb she told us that it was almost ruined when a terrible rock star owned it, that when her family bought it back they had to completely redo the interior and alot of structural work. It was pretty funny sitting in this fancy sitting room having tea and trying to pretend we didn't know about Jimmy. I think she figured it out? Anyway, a couple of great days visiting the local area and staying at Boleskine.

1989

Yes, and there is a brief bit about 6:47-6:57 in that clip, just before the "Swan Song" riffing, that reminds me of a cross between Crackback and Zooma/Leafy Meadows type riffs.

Today on jimmypage.com he notes that he did some recording in 1999 with Michael Lee on drums. The website says for April 5 I recorded at The Depot Studios, London By today I had recorded, for reference, numerous tracks along with Michael Lee on drums, the process took about three days at the Depot rehearsal rooms in London. It comprised many song ideas I had for a possibility of a future recording. This is a fragment of the first song recorded. I cannot hear any audio on his site, in fact the site often says there is audio but unless they embed a YouTube clip I cannot hear it, or see any way to "play" the audio referred to. Can anyone else hear this fragment on Jimmy's site today?

A nice remaster.

Fun fact - recorded live April 27, 1969, same day as Zeppelin played at the Fillmore West.

Rory !

Fantastic stuff. You three have been very productive. Thanks for doing these.

I looked up the release dates. What I see is that Presence was released on March 31, 1976 and amazingly 2112 was released on the very next day April 1, 1976.

and the original. My favorite Chuck Berry song. A great story song.

Great story - thanks for the memories. You captured many of the thoughts and memories I have of seeing them in New York June 11 that year. The sound was overwhelming. The event was overwhelming. One sound that is forever etched in my brain is the tone of Jimmy's guitar during the Rover riff intro to Sick Again. And as I have noted elsewhere, the drums sounded like artillery shots. I was so amazed I could hear Plant over all that but there was his voice, filling Madison Square Garden to the rafters. The only 1977 recording that comes close to capturing the sound is Listen to this Eddie, but even that cannot really do it justice. The bass was so powerful - it sounded nothing like it does on soundboard recordings we have from 1977, even the well remastered ones. One of these days I will try to write up a complete story like yours. One thing that struck me was the delirious reception to the new songs Nobody's Fault and Achilles Last Stand. They had been out over a year and the fans at the show certainly went nuts for both of them. Thanks again for sharing your story.

A nice 1977 Yes tour compilation. Killer versions of the new tracks Parallels, Going for the One, and Awaken.

Excellent record. In 1975-76 my friends and I made a movie for high school English class. We used tracks from this album as the soundtrack.

A mellow intro, then it picks up around 1:34, then takes off at 3:47.

I think a good title for this show would be "No Lighted Material", which the MC says right before the show starts. Is that Jimmy who says "get it together Bonzo" while Plant is introducing No Quarter? Man, that 1975 set list - an epic NQ right after Kashmir. Dig the borderline avant garde piano near the end of the No Quarter jam where Jones piles up the dissonances. One other note - what other rock singer would say something like "somber intonations" ?
