Early buzz on a 3LP set of MSG 9/19/70 afternoon coming soon on the Casino label.
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.

Great photo! Especially Mr. Page looks fantastic. Thanks for the post.

Is the Moonchild 167 Rock Carnival The Definitive Version based on source #5 and is hence the "optimal version" of 9/23/1971 (if Tarantura's new box is excluded).
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.

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.

Why did Planty wear the same clothes at every gig on this tour?
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.

That show has so many sources that I am not on the map. Is it 5 with some fills the best or something. Anyway, my pondering was if they were able to enhance the quality and make the best possible source mix.
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.

would be interesting to hear how good they have made the 23rd show that is already mainly awesome in quality and what about WLL medley from 29th.
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.

at a 100 pieces released, at that price, hard to fathom that these recordings are meant to be shared with the fans... well, hopefully someone will spend time ripping them for the rest of us!
Actually, it is 200 boxes, 2 artwork-options, each 100 pieces.

Germany 1 Japan 2
Nearly as satisfying as the Argie result
The Oscars are going to be tough as every player seems to be acting. No surprise to me that they go down easier than Linda Lovelace. Cheating twats. Do they not understand that every angle is covered by a camera?
Spain will be tough, and they play the old sausage eaters next. Auf Wiedersehen
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.

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.

No where in the original release does is say it will ONLY be audience sources. In fact it starts off with:
”Assembled from the best sounding and most complete sources from each of five nights, including never before circulating material and upgraded versions known from previous releases, this new collection representing the ultimate perspective for this memorable part in rock music history.”
And then goes on to mention this:
Both Tokyo and Osaka shows were professionally recorded by the local division of Warner Bros. company for potential live release. Rumoured to be destroyed by Page himself due to rather poor quality, it was confirmed by him in person during preparation of "How The West Was Won" and "DVD" in 2003 that these tapes were in potential use as a candidate for a standalone release.
It is ridiculous to claim to be the “ultimate perspective” and omit all of the soundboard material which is absolutely fantastic.
.....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.

It's a strange one for me. Page is having an incredible night, and it's fun to hear him go ham on the song - but at the same time, it feels very erratic, rushed in some places, and all over the place. The band doesn't seem to be gelling like they do with the song on other nights. It's just kind of bonkers lol. Some parts of it are pure "wow", where I'll sit back and just listen to Page be amazing - especially when he's doing stuff that he typically doesn't do for the song. But other sections, it just sounds kind of chaotic and weird, at least to my ears. Does that make sense?
That makes sense, absolutely.
By the way, your explanation reminds me of what I think about their 1975 concerts.

Thanks for advice. Ill have to check it out. I have a CD burner in the cart at Amazon that is only $17 with Prime. I am going to get the prime to buy Xmas stuff and to watch the Bills game on December 1. Not sure if it will actually play in the vehicle. The dealer and the salesman are useless. They called me in 10 minutes after I gave them a negative survey GM sent me. That got their attention. I told them not to post it on the survey but it went straight to GM. They must have got their ass's lit up. Good. They made me to every thing. Take the title to Fed Ex, take the plates back, and more. Drove all over. And the salesman sat on his ass and gets X amount of money for nothing.
If I use the CD burner that plugs into my MacBook Pro I can burn all of my CD's to the flash drive. But what you are saying is they have a player that I ran run in the vehicle to play my existing collection? I have a ton of good CD's. Full LZ collection, Pink Floyd (Dark Side Of The Moon), Stones (Get Yer Ya Ya's Out), and more. I have downloaded some Who that I no longer have like Who's Next and some Pink Floyd songs like Comfortably Numb and Welcome To The Machine, Must have stuff Thanks again. Ill look into it.
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.

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.

"Whole Lotta Love" I look at as sonic sculpture. Jimmy sculpting with sound. If you read about the recording of the song, you hear about Jimmy Page and Eddie Kramer flying around the mixing board twisting dials and knobs and levers. It is one of the great headphone songs, as woz70 noted.
Couldn´t agree more, a confident Jimmy Page transfered his vision onto tape.

OK, did not know where else to put this post. My latest purchase is a new 2022 Chevy Equinox WITH NO DAMN CD PLAYER!!!!!!! So pissed. So now I am using Apple music after trying Pandora and seeing the price of I tunes. So here is what I am going to do. I am taking my entire Led Zeppelin box set, the entire collection and I am buying a CD player/burner at Amazon so I can put them on flash drives to play in the car. I will also do this with playlists including must have Pink Floyd, The Who, The Rolling Stones, especially Get Yer Ya Ya's out, Some Girls, and then songs I like. Such a bitch this is. Does anyone have any idea how many songs you can get on 32 gig drives?
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.

While bootlegs offer a more complete concert, I still have yet to hear 1970 Royal Albert Hall sound better than on the official DVD. I have been pleading for years for Jimmy to release the 1970 RAH audio as a stand-alone vinyl and cd release. It would sell like hotcakes.
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.

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.

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.

Obviously there are quirks to the album (esp. the original '76 version), but all official live releases are augmented in some way (Made in Japan is no exception).
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.

Ok Rick sorry about The Yankee dig.
I was quite surprised at the times that the games are on. I assume it's because of the heat. All times GMT standard time (UK time)
21 November
No Hopers v Iran 13:00.
USA v Wales 19.00 which I guess would be 14.00 ish USA EST?
As I work from home I could watch the first England game should I be bothered. I also would cheer for Spain as it is my all time favourite Country. However, even though the Spanish League has 2 of the world's most successful club sides, internationally they aren't much cop. Belgium would be my pick to do well.
As I have mentioned many times before, if you go out to play trying not to lose as opposed to winning, then any team could beat the hapless English. We have no intention of playing attacking football. Just look where Harry "Over rated" Kane plays. He starts off in the opposition half and very quickly meanders down to left back and we are left with no one up front. Predictable, dull and no direction, and he's the main striker for Cliffs sake! The only reason we did well in the last World Cup and the Euros was that we bored the opposition into submission.
Needless to say the build up will be never-ending and we will see the side practising penalties because that's the ONLY way we will put the ball into the opposition's net. Unless of course Southgate himself takes one
What you say @Autumn Moon ?
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.

Thanks for the info, as luck would have it I received further details a few hours ago.
Yellow and turquoise vinyl, 200 numbered copies each.
The artwork is an exact copy of "Storming The Big Apple" CD boot by Eat A Peach label. I own this boot but can´t recall the sound quality of the afternoon show as I listened to it once only, but the evening show has certainly superior sound.
According to LZ Database there are 2 audience recordings: Source 1 has very good (!Audience boot grading!) sound and ends after Moby Dick. Source 2 for WLL, medley and final encore CB.
Second source is graded "Good"- which means it sounds terrible, as if the taper had positioned the microphone in his rectum.
I think I will pass on that one.
