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.

This is the first time that I am really happy that Plant and/or Jones reject a project. I am not sure if Jimmy is aware of the fact that while the Abba voices at the Avatar shows are from the archives there is acually a band playing live behind the curtains. This concept may work for the music of Abba, but IMO it could never work for bands like Led Zeppelin. Are there musicians who are capable to deliver satisfactory results? I don´t think so.

Hungary vs England 1:0 - What!??? The sweetpants of goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly were the only remarkable thing about Hungarian football for decades. Did England send the drunken Doncaster Rovers instead of a halfway decent national team?

Thanks again for the updates. Considering that "The Campaign" was released in 1995 I would recommend the "The Overture/The Campaign" 12 CD box set by EV from 2018. Really good soundquality & nice artwork, much better than any boot I had before of the 72 Japan tour.

No, it is all part of the upcoming big box set, just for the 23rd there is an additional 2 Bonus CD with the clean Flying Rock Carnival included.

Yes, the 2 Bonus Discs will feature the newly transfered & mastered Flying Rock Carnival aka source 7- so hopefully no more major sound issues from What Is And What Should Never Be onwards. Always loved that source, great to get the complete undamaged treasure after all these years. Nevertheless, Tarantura will present their ultimate version of the 23rd on 3 CDs containing master/1st gen transfers of the best sounding sources. (F.R.C source 7, First Attack Of The Rising Sun source 5, Reflection From A Dream source 4 and Front Row source 2) Great boots are on the way, and I hope the Odense tape has better sound quality than the Copenhagen show.

Thank you very much for the update, Moby Dick Ale. I guess it won´t be a bargain considering that the box will contain approximately 14 CDs, 3 more if 929 is included as well. Anyway, I see nothing but advantages (transfers from master, low gen or uncirculated tapes, finally the complete Flying Rock Carnival source Nr. 7 for 923 and excellent mastering by Enigma) and as a dedicated fan of the Japan Tour of 1971 I won´t miss this one. At least Tarantura titles are less expensive than Empress Valley boxes- I am ready for Japan & Denmark.

You are right, that is more than suspicious. I think it is rather Going To California than Tangerine, including tuning and Plantations the live versions of GTC are about 6 minutes long. Furthermore, in Copenhagen they played it on the same position in the setlist, just before That´s The Way.

Fantastic! May 71 saw the band firing on ALL cylinders, what more could you ask for? Let`s hope Tarantura get it going soon. In late December 2021 they announced a Live in Japan 71 AUD box, it hasn´t been released yet.

You are much too kind, but I think you are just a little confused. Take a closer look and you will see that I responded to a comment Mook made. And no, I really don´t think Mook burned his albums, that was ironic. Welcome to the forum!

I can´t understand why the Hendrix Family is still hesitating to score $$$ with a DVD/Bluray release of this jewel. Anyone?

A great show IMO. I would recommend the excellent AUD source, much better than the flat-sounding SB. I am curious what you think of NQ as it is a special one. It is one of the rare versions where Jimmy plays the main riff without WAH-WAH pedal.

I am sure someone can help you, but therefore you should post your question in the General Forum / Musician´s Corner (at the bottom).

Black Night was released as a single, it wasn´t on the original In Rock LP, though you can find it on the 25 years anniversary CD edition. About Fireball: Original UK LP has Demon´s Eye on it whereas the original US release has Strange Kind Of Woman instead.

That´s the question, but I am pretty sure that the annoyed looking lady in the background is about to start a riot with her company.

I didn´t claim anything yet, that was your part. Ah yes, Nehammer is a member of the ÖVP (and chancellor, by the way) which is a middle-right party. So far so good. Maybe I should confess that I couldn´t care less about the Peoples Party, they are certainly not my favourite choice. Nevertheless, to claim that they are firmly against immigration and muslims in particular is nonsense. Please inform yourself about the numbers of refugees Austria has given shelter and home since 2015. Put this number in correlation with the Austrian population and transfer the result on the USA, I guess then you get it.

We do have a coalition government formed by the Green Party and the Peoples Party. The President is not part of a coalition government. Elections for Presidency and government are held separately. So whether the President is a socialist, a liberal or even a nudist, he is not a part of a coalition or any government. The target groups of the Peoples Party are Christian conservatives, Industry and economy, farmers, establishment and rich people who wants to get even richer. They are not per se an anti-socialist party, not in the last 80 years. Resurgence of Fascist / Nazi groups over the past 10 years? Sorry Bob, no new groups on the rise that I am aware of. The number of Neonazis and the leaders of their retarded core groups are about the same as 35 years ago , although they intend to fraternise with protesters against the government and their Corona policy recently. Would be interesting what makes you call a country a non liberal country, anyway, it is certainly not because of the ÖVP holds the majority of minister positions in the coalition. The reason is simply the result of the last parliamentary election. The distribution of the ministries depends on success in the elections. Semi-Fascists? I think you know the meaning of the term Fascism, heaven knows why you are using it so thoughtlessly.

Since you ask so nicely, here is a post of yours that fit quite well: Actually surprised Austria is doing this as they are a coalition government with the President a Green Party Member and the Chancellor the head of the Peoples Party. The Peoples Party is a Christian conservative, anti-socialist party and Austria has seen a resurgence of fascist / Nazi groups over the past 10 years. They are not a liberal country as the OVP holds the majority of minster positions and both Chancellery ministers are OVP, instead they are very conservative. I guess it's getting bad when even the semi-fascists go full lockdown. However, with the situation of Belarus shipping refugees to the Polish border and the chaos that is causing, maybe they are being proactive with the likelihood of a bunch of un-vaccinated refugees trying to get into Austria? Obviously this wasn´t your finest hour since every single sentence is peppered with nonsense and ignorance. Don´t get me wrong, I am not complaining or I didn´t feel offended, in fact I was quite amused. Don´t worry, I know you can do better than that, a lot better.

Brilliant film! Watching Monsieur Trelkovsky slowly going insane is dark, unpleasant and rather disturbing, albeit funny as hell (in some moments).

I love the 71 Japan tour and I like quality AUD sources, so the decision has already been made. I am quite confident that this upcoming release will meet high expectations, since I have been pleased with the quality of Tarantura´s recent releases of Detroit 73 & Winterland 69. If anything, I am a little bit worried about the so far weakest sounding shows, 924 and 928. Especially the horrible bass distortion of previous known 924 sources would require an uncirculated and better sounding source tape. About the price: It won´t be a bargain, but at least Tarantura boxes aren´t as expensive as Empress Valley products.

Indeed, without the major issues in sound quality from WIAWSNB on & just reluctant mastering (to minimize brickwalling and aiming for warm/natural sound) of the master tape, this could be priceless.

Thank you, 1975NQ. Yes, you can´t go wrong with the 71 Japan shows- guess I am kind of obsessed with these shows. Generally, I love their live performances 69-73, albeit 70-71 is my favourite period.

For the last 12 months: The Winterland concerts, 6. & 7. November 1969 San Francisco 21. July 1973 Providence - a great show with fantastic versions of NQ and D&C, on par with the Seattle show on 17. July 1973. 28. September 1971 Osaka For the last 30 years (I turned 50 on 7. November): 29. September 1971 Osaka, 23. September 1971 Tokyo & 7. March 1970 Montreux

All of Graf Z.´s releases concerning the 72 Aus/N.Z. tour are named "No Longer Down Under". No SB, it´s partly a merge of video-aud and aud source. Agreed, don´t think Source 3 is an impressive upgrade in soundquality, I think the 27th Feb show is by far the weakest sounding of all the G.Z. releases of that tour.

It is definitely Vienna, easy to recognise by the licence numbers (starting with the letter "W" for Wien). Unfortunately, the exact location isn´t clear to me as Robert´s head/hair is obscuring an important part of the background. Most likely (90% certainty) the location is Rechte Wienzeile, 4th or 5th district, towards 1st district downtown. On the leftside one can see some building cranes for the construction of the tube/subway at Karlsplatz. Btw, Robert´s clothes make me furious. The 16th of March 1973 was a cold day in Vienna: daily highs 7 centigrade/ 44 f, morning & evening temperature around 2 centigrade/ 35 f. No wonder his voice was in terrible shape a few hours later. Actually, his voice was shot since January and dressing like he did on such a cold day wasn´t very bright. Obviously, he couldn´t care less.
