Finished season 1 a few months ago, a brilliant series, there will be a sequel. If you are interested in the subject, I highly recommend the netflix series The Alienist. More or less about the very beginning of criminal analytic psychology, story is situated in the late 19th century in New York.

1. August - Tommy Bolins´ Birthday! Took a 6 hour musical journey to celebrate this great man: Zephyr, James Gang, Ebbets Field 74 & 76, some Spectrum & Mind Transplant, finally Come Taste The Band & various Deep Purple Mk4 live recordings. Page & Bolin, nuff said.

LA Forum, 31. May 73, Bonzo´s Birthday Party, audience recording: During the guitar intro of OTHAFA, about 30 to 40 seconds into the song, the taper or a guy next to the recorders mic yells "MY BOOT!!!" for whatever reason.

Thank You was only played on the last night, so Jimmy wasn´t able to choose the best out of 3, or "frankenstein" the best pieces of three nights to create one super version. I am afraid, he simply wasn´t satisfied with the version of the 29th. And YES, I think he should release it, as he should release the original, intact NQ!

Had the same problem with the envelope, I guess no one is able to get the photographs out without damaging it. The flyer is really beautiful, I wish they had more stuff like that with their boxes. I have managed to listen to the 2.,3.,4. & 5. October so far, as you said, it is worth every penny.

Ah, I see- Primrose Hill isn´t really far away from Camden. I have noticed that over the past years he gave most of his interviews in cafes or kebab houses situated in Camden. Thanks for the info.

Recording overdubs for Whole Lotta Love, A&M Studio, Los Angeles, May 1969

Agreed, this bag looks pretty shitty, but he did not carry it without a cause. On his way home from the Awards he took a rest in a lovely park, opened his bag & took out the cigarette-papers and some......... And you know how it is..... BTW, do you know if he lives in the north of London, he mentions Camden Town quite often.

Burn Like A Candle on Graf Zeppelin Full show, dimmed lights & smoking requisites at hand- by the time I reach Louie Louie, I will be pretty tall. That is what I call a remedy.

^1+++, the thread "in search of the best 73 concerts" is another thing. Agreed, the four of them must have been in a state of shock from January onwards. Without any doubt a hard time til Plant`s voice finally stabilized (to some degree) on the 9th US tour. And this is exactly the point where things get a little complicated. "Taking Plant`s voice out of the equation" & "band firing on all cylinders (minus Plant)" will not necessarily lead to satisfying outcome. IMO one has to clearly distinguish: 1.) Page`s playing in 73, truly outstanding, his peak for many fans. 2.) The 1973 concerts, judged by THEIR actual performance. Whenever in poor shape, you can`t count Plant out, it was a four piece band and he was an equal integral part. For example their gig in Vienna, March 16th: I was born in Vienna November 1971, never got the chance to see them live myself. But I have known 3 lads (16, 17 and 20 years old in 1973) who attended this very concert. Of course, I drove them crazy with questions about their concert experience. To cut a long story short, some impressions they reported in conformity: Dazed & Confused was the absolute highlight of the show. Page & Bonham were equally praised, all three of them said, that they never have seen a better live performance by any guitarist or drummer, before and after. Plant`s damaged voice was evident, right from the start. One even said, that Plant sounded boozy. For some songs Plant used way too much reverb/delay effects to cover his weak voice, which wasn`t suitable with the acoustics of the huge Wiener Stadthalle. They all complained about lack of older songs & too much then unfamiliar HOTH songs. It was fucking loud, they had ringing ears for days, especially the youngest, who was seated tenth row, a little right of center.***

Haha, I`ve noticed that you never seem to lose any time with your orders. I am not quite convinced yet. I guess you have older releases of the 72 Japan shows, so please let us know, if the new ones are the huge upgrades promised.

The box is already on sale. Artwork is beautiful, I`d choose The Overture, I`ve always liked that weird image. Buy it or not- I guess I`ll wait for the first reviews. Has anyone ordered yet?

Hats off to Ms. Yoyoka! Just 8 years old and such an incredible talent. So focused and yet apparently enjoying every second. Thanks for sharing!

Sounds good, and for six shows the price is moderate.

This 72 box set is only the Overture, the big one will be most likely 929 or/and 928 in September. So, Jimmy would bomb EVSDs business by releasing HTEWW (Sept.71) officially, but I don`t think he will.

This is either Amsterdam or Brussels, May 1972- the two warm-up gigs prior to their 72 US tour.

Your Time Is Gonna Come The Rover Ramble On In The Light Out On The Tiles Over The Hills And Far Away Going To California Dazed & Confused No Quarter What Is & What Should Never Be

Anyone with a turntable and love for the first LP should get their RSD- The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn- MONO release! The sound is mindblowing- you won`t touch your stereo copy ever again!

Alltough I am not the biggest fan of 75, I really dig gibsonfan`s enjoyable & detailed analysis. Four Blocks In The Snow is one of the few 75 concerts I appreciate. Neither the SB nor the matrix will do me any good. Haha, I prefer the TCOLZ audience version, because it makes not only Page`s sound but the whole thing "demonstrably better".

What a show, I absolutely love it. Funny, I like the very good audience source, the flat SB leaves me cold. Anyway, certainly one of the best concerts of their ninth US tour.

I`d have no problem to turn & change the records of a How The East Was Won vinyl box. 5 Discs per box, both Tokyo and both Osaka gigs, and this time with NICE artwork, please.

I think it is Copenhagen, May 3rd 1971

Please god yes. Euro '73 here we come. The very popular tour of Europe 73 on the continent was in contrast to the earlier UK tour by no means a small clubs affair. With a few exceptions, like K.B.Hallen Copenhagen or Hamburg Musikhalle, they played in rather huge venues with capacity of 10000 to 15000 fans.

Thanks for your funny comment, made me smile. Otherwise, this thread is pretty pointless. Just Keith`s opinion, so what? I really like the Stones until Mick Taylor left & I love Led Zeppelin- to compare them would be without rhyme or reason. Who sold more tickets, made more money or played to the biggest crowd????? pointless.........

It`s all very well to say that, he has been playing rythm guitar most of the time, anyway.
