As a matter of fact, right now now I'm in the Festival Hall, Osaka and - so far - it's worth every yen I've spend. A bit disappointing though, I didn't manage to get the photographs out of the envelope without damaging it 😭 (the envelope, not the photo's) on the other hand, my supplier (you know who) did give me a copy of the flyer which was made for this box...👍
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.

He used to have a house in Primrose Hill though I think he primarily resides in the Midlands.
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.

That man bag is completely unacceptable.
I've just burned all my Zeppelin albums.
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.

I disagree with premise of this thread. Other years I understand but.......
It should be titled “Appreciating Page 1973”
^1+++, the thread "in search of the best 73 concerts" is another thing.
2 hours ago, chef free said:These shows (Europe '73) always make me think that Page and Bonham are playing at another level to cover for Plant...
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.
On 6/17/2018 at 6:10 AM, ZepHead315 said:So I'm assuming for this year you're going to be grading on a steeper curve given the level of Page's playing? So for example this OTHAFA is a B+ by 73 standards, yet would be an A or A+ by 75 or 77 standards, is that correct? I'm really looking forward to your breakdowns from this year and I'm particularly curious what you think of Chicago. Is it bad by 73 standards, or is it bad in general (if you take Plant's voice out of the equation cause let's be honest, he sounds like shit at that show)? Regardless, there's a ton of gems from throughout this year. The last year where the band (minus Plant) was firing on all cylinders at a consistent rate.
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.***

I did, "The Overture" also. 👍 "Tit For Tat" arriving next week...💪
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?

Thanks for sharing!

My Tokyo contact said that this time they did use many upgraded and best available sources to create most definitive and best sounding versions for each show. I do not know yet any further details but I do trust my contact and if he's saying that they are upgrades, they do really.
Sounds good, and for six shows the price is moderate.

This will piss Jimmy off supreme if the first proper "50th" release is How The East Was Won.
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.

Looks like 72 though I've never seen this before. Any more pics from this?
This is either Amsterdam or Brussels, May 1972- the two warm-up gigs prior to their 72 US tour.

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!

Regarding all of the LOL's at gibsonfan's response to my matrix question, I was only asking because he said "this is a straight soundboard source," not because I thought it makes Page's playing demonstrably better
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".

KEZAR. I wish we had the whole show in the quality of the last few tracks. I love Bonham's little twist on the intro "a - one, a two, a-three, a- four!"
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.

Love the blu-ray too! no need to change discs anymore. Hope "How the East was Won" will get this treatment too in september
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.

You're welcome. I can't place the one with the beard either. It's 1971, but I don't know which date yet.
I think it is Copenhagen, May 3rd 1971

We've also got numbers from Southampton University and some small clubs." Jimmy Page, 1977.
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.

The window of comparison imo is small. British
guys all kind of influenced by black American musicians, 40s decade born, frontmen who
pranced and sashayed about wearing really really tight stuff around their genitals and smack
addicted guitarists. The rest is off the table for me.
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.........

stanlove,
The Stones blow...should have hung it up 40 years ago. I play better lead guitar than Keef...and I suck at guitar!
It`s all very well to say that, he has been playing rythm guitar most of the time, anyway.

Burn Like A Candle ~ Since Ive Been Loving You
Graf Label
Yes, Graf Zeppelin- the best sounding version of Burn Like A Candle, at least to my ears. And what a beautiful Since I`ve Been Loving You this is, the guitar intro before the first verse is very emotional & unique. I don`t understand why Jimmy Page used the version of Long Beach for the HTWWW release.

Actually, it might kinda make sense. The studio re-releases, including BBC Sessions, have this format with the different packages and download card. If How The East Was Won is to be coming soon, it would make sense to first convert HTWWW to the same format so it isn't the odd one out.
Bravo, I like your theory. First a fine remaster of HTWWW in March, then in August I`ll get me the Super Deluxe HTEWW 8- (at least)- vinyl-set. And ok, I don`t mind a EC box by christmas.
Let`s hope so!

Has anyone heard the new Wendy release "Burn Like A Candle" 3 CD Ltd Edition Paper Case yet?
While I am more than happy with the Graf Zeppelin version, every new release of this fabulous show seems to be a tantalising temptation.
Back to topic: Until there is a remastered, raw & complete HTWWW on vinyl, it`s BLAC all the way.

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!
