04/08/70 Raleigh was great, pretty good sound too 09/19/70 MSG evening show, one of my favorite Zep shows, the sound is decent 11/16/71 Ipswich, great sound, great show 11/25/71 Leicester, great sound, really good show 06/22/72 San Bernardino, great sound, great show

Would you happen to have this source? I can't find it anywhere.

Please Please Me EVSD-LTD Box 6CDs real soundboard + excellent audience 3CDs real soundboard 2CDs LZ plays the Beatles songs 1CD * 929SB "Twist & Shout" etc Limited 100 copies / numbered Just checked AirRaid, this was listed as the first new arrival. It seems we actually will be getting the new board source for Twist & Shout, so clearly EV does have the 929 WLL 🙄

Do you need a rip of the Diament edition? I believe I have one, I can dig it out for you.

If we even get the full tape! It may be another partial release 🙄

Wow! It's beautiful, and the Bigsby tremolo fit perfectly on here. Obviously the sound is great (from the videos). My only question would be about the quality, is there anything you notice on it that seemed to be a little lower quality? Or have you been completely satisfied with it so far? I wanted it for pretty much the same reason, I thought it was one of Page's coolest guitars. Seeing as he's the biggest influence on my playing and the sound I like to get, I figured this would be perfect! I just can't figure out where Epiphone cut costs to be able to make a premium guitar available at a lower price? You'd think they'd be losing money selling these, unless they're outsourcing production to Indonesia or something.

Nice, Antoine! Great sound out of that Epiphone, looks like the Black Beauty copy? I was actually thinking about getting this one from Sweetwater soon, what do you think of it?

9/29/71 in Osaka! I was thinking back on what show is actually my favorite and I really couldn't say it's anything other than this one. It's really dear to me personally. When I was a young teen, I didn't have an iPod or any mp3 type devices (this was around 10 years ago), so I just ended up using my dad's old Walkman when I wanted to have my music on the go. I had just gotten into Zep bootlegs around then, and saved up to order a copy of the 9/29 show, the Nighthawk CD version. I remember listening to it constantly at home, but wanting to have it for bus rides and just when I was out in general! So I bootlegged my bootleg 🤣 I used some old casette tapes my dad had and taped the whole thing. It fit on a couple casette tapes, and those things with me to hell and back. In the process I became intimately familiar with the show, and I love every minute of it. Funnily enough, it's still the show I listen to most. Albeit with half of it now being replaced with the vastly superior soundboard source. Here's to hoping the rest comes out eventually!

The 3/21 solo is pretty awesome. It's a little long but the play style is reminiscent of 1973.

I'd definitely be one of them, both shows were astounding and among my favorites! We can hope!

I tend to agree, I've seen your arguments for it and I do think there's at least a FEW tapes out there. If the '71 boards exist I'm sure there's recordings from the '72 US Tour; even in the moment I feel like it'd be pretty hard for the band to ignore that they were on a ridiculous stretch of shows that NEEDED to be documented somehow. My hope is that there's at least something from the stretch run that began in Nassau on the 14th through the end of the month; the couple weeks beginning with the Nassau show have some of the finest performances of their entire career (the 14th itself, the 19th in Seattle, and the 25th to name the most obvious ones). All we can do is keep hoping!

Did you know what was coming? That was almost TOO ironic... 😉

^^ The post took out my response for some reason? Anyways, if it's Osaka 929 part 2, I'll give them a kidney for a copy...

Awesome! Thanks, this was great. Been getting back into guitar recently and I'm starting to learn more complex solos so this was really cool to watch and keep some of these techniques in mind.

So I had heard an interesting story as to why Page hated the song, I don't know if it's true and I forgot where exactly I heard/read about it, but apparently when the bulk of II was finished, they were still a little short and needed one more song to hit the length they needed for a full album. So Jimmy put together LLM pretty quickly as some filler to reach the required length, but always hated it because it wasn't something he originally planned on doing.

Just saw and was coming here to deliver the bad news...utterly atrocious. I'd been looking forward to this all week, it's such a letdown and a below the belt move by Wendy.

The original poster for that thread said: Anyone know more about this claim? Just received this info via email ...

Then again it's Wendy who aren't exactly known for putting out new material so we'll have to see!

What...? At first I thought you were just trolling, but can you really not hear the obvious differences in what's being played here...? You do realize that Page playing similar passages or motifs doesn't mean it's all from one show, right? This is pretty ridiculous man.

The 71/72 setlists and performances are my personal favorites; so putting together a vaguely realistic setlist, here's my idea of a perfect show: 1.) Immigrant Song 2.) Heartbreaker 3.) Black Dog 4.) Over The Hills And Far Away 5.) Misty Mountain Hop 6.) Since I've Been Loving You 7.) No Quarter 8.) The Song Remains The Same 9.) The Rain Song 10.) Stairway to Heaven 11.) Tangerine (Electric version, like Earl's Court) 12.) Hey Hey What Can I Do (Electric again, like Tangerine) 13.) Ten Years Gone 14.) Going To California 15.) That's The Way 16.) Dazed and Confused 17.) The Ocean 18.) Houses Of The Holy 19.) Whole Lotta Love 20.) Mellotron Solo/Thank You 21.) When The Levee Breaks 22.) Bring It On Home Pair this with a Japan 71 caliber performance from all four members and it's possible this becomes the greatest show they ever played

I think the 5/22 Fort Worth show belongs in the excellent category. Was recently listening to this show again and came to a point in No Quarter in the 13-15 minute mark where everything came to such an astounding, cohesive climax that I almost choked on my coffee! Outstanding performance overall, I really enjoy this show. Seems like all four members are on fire here.

http://ledzepnews.com/2018/09/19/exclusive-led-zeppelin-may-be-working-on-an-online-streaming-service-for-its-live-recordings/ Checked this article and I wonder though, because it seems that the wording in the patent has similar wording to a patent that was filed to start a streaming service for Prince's music. I wonder if they're just working through the tapes and waiting to start this up or there were some other issues we don't know about.

Pennies from Heaven, from 9/29/71 Osaka. I made a compilation of Zeppelin's live covers and it's amazing!

It's actually a decent show, right! Really well recorded even by the high '75 standard for board tapes. Seems like it's all going well until Page hits the dressing room during Moby Dick, then the Jack sends everything south... Anyways, great work, I really enjoy reading these!

Hey gibsonfan159! Very interesting little series here, love reading through. Curious if you'll give 2/28 Baton Rouge a run through? I remember this being the first time when I was listening to Zeppelin bootlegs where I looked up and was in shock over how badly page was playing because I thought it was so rare! This was during the Black Dog solo, he is COMPLETELY LOST.
