  1. Are you sure it is the afternoon show? Soundquality of the evening show is much better and the performance is legendary. Anyway, the Casino label is known for quality releases, I have their release of the Berkely show on 14th Sept. 71, a very good sounding pressing.
  2. Great photo! Especially Mr. Page looks fantastic. Thanks for the post.
  3. I don´t think so, usually boots with the title Rock Carnival use the 7th source, whereas Tarantura uses the 5th source for their main 923 CD set.
  4. Very interesting, sounds good. I don´t know if there any photos of the Bloomington concert are in circulation, but the photo on the cover of the deluxe box (showing Pagey in his nice colorful, patchy trousers) is definitely from March 8. 1970, Circus Krone, Munich, Germany.
  5. Like he did on the 1973 US tour if I remember it correctly. I guess with the exception of Bonzo`s Birthday Party at the Forum he sticked to the boring blue Denim Jeans, bare chest and that boring blue blouse for little girls.
  6. To my ears, compared to my older boots, they managed to achieve the best sounding source mix on their 3 CD main set of 923, based on the 5th source.
  7. R.I.P. Jeff Beck, What a guitarist, what a loss!
  8. I think you are talking about the 7th source (aka Flying Rock Carnival) of 923, right? It is part of the box, released as a bonus 2CD set. Like the guy of the Collectors Music Review I don´t like it at all. According to Tarantura they used a master transfer and left it raw and unprocessed. It still has the well known sound problems like older releases, e.g. from WIAWSNB the sound gets shitty. Furthermore, the overall sound is very muddy, washy and fluctuating all the time. I prefer the processed version from EV which is (way better to my ears) more detailed and clearer up to WIAWSNB. But I was told that for some fans Tarantura´s raw version is kinda holy grail. Not my cup of tea, each to their own. Anyway, it is just the bonus CD. About the 5x 3 CD sets: For what I have heard already (923, 924 & 927) I can tell that these Tarantura versions have great sound quality. I fell for these Japan 71 concerts about 30 years ago, and I have collected quite a few over the years for comparison- the new T.-versions beat them all. Especially 924 is remarkable: I am gladly surprised that T. was able to minimize the bass/tom-tom distortion to an satisfying degree. On older versions the distortion also affected the other instruments/frequencies whereas here everything stays clear and detailed and the bass distortion is kinda defused.
  9. Actually, it is 200 boxes, 2 artwork-options, each 100 pieces.
  10. Haha, Auf Wiedersehen, indeed! Maybe it wasn´t the best thing to focus on the "One Love" captain´s armsleeve? This weak German defense will be in serious trouble facing the Spanish forwards.
  11. Considering his size, it must have been hard work to get in and out of the 911. Great car, a friend of mine had a Carrera 3,0 some time ago. I remember the braking deceleration beeing equal impressive as the acceleration.
  12. .....and in the next sentence of the very first announcement this: "This new set consists of all known audience recordings available for each of five nights." No ridiculous claims at all, everybody and their brother knew that this is for fans of the audience sources.
  13. That makes sense, absolutely. By the way, your explanation reminds me of what I think about their 1975 concerts.
  14. No, Chevrolet offers just the interface cable to connect any portable CD player to the car audio system. Portable CD players are cheap and slim, so you could place them easily in a compartment of the central console close at hand.
  15. Can´t say that I prefer the 73 US D&C over versions from 69-72, but I agree that development and structure are truly magic. My favourite versions are: New Orleans, both Detroit shows, Seattle (the ultimate- slower, dark & some parts are devastatingly heavy), Providence and NY 27th. I can´t stand Vienna as Plant ruins the whole vibe of the song. The way he "sings" while drowning in maximum reverb, that´s too much for me. Just my point of view. Funnily enough I was very close that night (1,5 years old and most likely sleeping), as my family used to live only 500 metres away from the Stadthalle. That was a huge advantage in my teens. But I really like Offenburg, great gig, great D&C.
  16. Couldn´t agree more, a confident Jimmy Page transfered his vision onto tape.
  17. Wouldn´t it be easier (and cheaper) to buy a portable CD player and connect that with a portable music player interface cable (original accessory by chevrolet)? A friend of mine had the same problem and is very satisfied with a connected portable Cd player. He has no problems with skipping, the portable CD players seem to be immune against vibrations.
  18. It sets the mood perfectly, would be a crime to remove it.
  19. Totally agreed, vinyl and cd release would sell very well. And maybe we could get the whole thing including Heartbreaker and Thank You. Maybe even Since I´ve Been Loving You if it was played on that night- I have my doubts.
  20. My favourite Plantation, right before Stairway To Heaven: "Stop acting like pigs!........This is a song of hope, it´s a quiet song- so shut up!" They should have kept it on the official TSRTS album.
  21. Since I kinda derailed the 4th May 71 Odense thread by making a innocent side note on Tarantura´s upcoming Live In Japan 71 box, I´d like to bring the discussion about Japan 71 back where it belongs. Why now? I guess the long period of waiting might be over soon.
  22. Sadly, most of the official live releases are doctored, some of them less, many to an extremely high degree, such as KISS ALIVE! & Frampton Comes Alive!. Let´s not forget about the worst of them all: The Doors Absolutely Live- compiled & spliced by Baron Victor Frankenstein. And now to something completely different: Please explain in which way Made In Japan was processed. I have never heard anything like that, quite the contrary! The album is praised by musicians and critics just because it is a real, honest live recording.without any kind of overdubs.
  23. I am still baffled about Qatar being the host for the World Cup. I used to like Spain but they gave me a hard time with their Tiki Taka style, I am glad they are doing better again. The Belgian team is extraordinary fine, but they should hurry, because all their talents are growing old. I am looking forward to seeing certain American teams. It will be refreshing to watch Argentina, Brazil or Mexico against any European team.
  24. Another magic moment! But seriously, the Nations League is nothing but a joke. The "big" teams couldn´t care less, underdogs like Hungary sniff a chance to qualify via Nations League for World Cup or European Championship. By the way, Austria 1 France 1- this speaks volumes about the N.L.. I share your doubts, Wales and the US could be tricky as long as Mr. Penalty manages the English team.
