Strange, I just listened to this show again just a week ago and was completely amazed by the performance, show was excellent, not just for 77' but for any touring year IMO. Now the 27th...no bueno.
I agree this show is definitely one of my favorites from the latter years just listen to Achilles and you'll think it's Jimmy from 73 playing it.
To me this show is up there with 7/24/79 Copenhagen.

I think for me my overall favorite show of 77 is the 4/28/77 show a lot of other people also rave about it being one of the best shows from the tour.
Some other shows worth checking out are 06/03/77 even though it got rained out after three songs and if you can stomach the recording definitely the show from Pontiac 4/30/77 which has my favorite Kashmir with Robert going as high as he did back in 71 with the scream he does.

I listened to Pontiac Silverdome again and yes Plant is great on Kashmir. I still cannot imagine what is was like to have been in the audience or on the stage that night with such a huge crowd. The audience recording is better than I remembered.
Definitely a night from 77 worth having a sound upgrade IMO.

Since I've Been Loving You - LA 6-23-1977.
Definitely a great vocal performance from Robert, I keep listening to this tour on and off and I'm always surprised by how strong Robert is most of the tour.
-
Kashmir from 6/21/77 is definitely my go to since the quality is so good but it’s been a long while since I’ve heard the Nobody’s Fault from the first Cleveland show thanks for the suggestion!
-
Is there anything that comes close to Plant's delivery of this particular performance of Kashmir it sounds as if he's singing this from 71 I guess that's why I always thought 77 was an extraordinary year for him compared to how much damage he had done at this point and after the 75 tour, Overall Robert has some amazing vocals in 77 like singing Over The Hills the closest to the studio version since 72 on the June 13th date in New York and the June 10th version of Heartbreaker.
Is there any other vocal performances to anyone else that stand out from 77 just curious to hear other's thoughts on this.

In regards to Plant and Jpj , it would have been cool to hear in the evening or carouselambra.
I've always thought it was odd how nothing was represented from In Through The Out Door something like I'm Gonna Crawl or All My Love would've been neat additions but I do at least think they should have played In The Evening.

Why you prefer '75? Personally, I am bored after 4 years of '75 releases. A soundboard recording of Pontiac, Birmingham, Cleveland, NY or L.A. '77 seems less important to you? I am just asking of curiosity, because I am surprised by the fact that so many people keep trashing the '77 tour, especialy when most of the '75 tour is plagued by Plant's shot voice.
I agree I’d definitely rather have a 77 show due to just how good Plants voice was and how good Jimmy could recapture his magic on certain nights such as the LA New York run and the last two shows of the first leg of 77 at Cleveland 4/28 and Pontiac 4/30, just my opinion.

Spare me already with this bullshit. Seriously, Captain Obvious, you don't know who LZ '77 were by now? You take this beautiful document of the band, the only pro-shot footage of the tour, which has never been presented this well before, and use it to cut the band off at the knees? Why do you bother with Led Zeppelin when you know their live performances won't live up to your "professional musicianship" standards. You are completely clueless about LZ and RnR in general. Neither were ever intended to be note perfect.
So, fans came here to say they enjoyed this viewing experience and you're here to confirm that's not a valid point of view?
Really.
Not being an ass in any way but gibsonfan159 has clearly stated in his review of this show that he thinks it's a decent show with some duds and some standout highlights specifically being the acoustic set and some other gems such as Nobody's Fault and the epic Stairway solo. In my opinion it's an average 77 show with nothing too special or horrendous it's a shame this is what we get for pro-shot video instead of something like the LA run, but being that it's the only pro-shot footage that we have I'd rather it be Seattle than the horrendous Tempe show and am extremely grateful for this remaster which does make the show sound a whole lot better.
In regards to Led Zeppelin fandom I think it's ridiculous that people who have differing opinions think that one opinion is above the other, we are all fans here so if you don't agree with someone maybe you shouldn't resort to being an imbecile and calling them Captain Obvious and saying things such as "why bother with Led Zeppelin" the reason he bothers to comment or criticize is he's a fan of the band and has every right to criticize the band based on the standards the band started back in the early 70s.
Anyways I'm not here to start anything I'm just tired of seeing people getting ridiculed for their opinions when everyone has their right to his/hers own opinions without being told they are wrong when everything is subjective.

I'm interested as well if you don't mind sharing the link the sound is pretty incredible.

Listening to Brisbane 1972 and pretty blown away. This has made it on my soundboard wishlist.
I dream of at least hearing a better quality version of Stairway from that show one of my favorite Stairway's from any year that's for sure.

Is there a definitive place to find Black Sabbath bootlegs? I'd really like to start listening to the original line-up era live performances.

The Internet: Imagine Dragons are the worst band in the world.
Greta Van Fleet: Hold my decaf soy latte.
I just saw GVF's SNL performance. Not since the Red Hot Chili Peppers debacle when John Frusciante was smacked out of his mind have I seen such a misfire. At least RHCP had heroin abuse for an excuse. What's GFV's excuse?
That was an all-around disaster. They looked horrible. They sounded horrible. They acted/posed horrible.
I have never understood the Robert Plant comparisons. The singer sounds more like Rik Emmett from Triumph. He squeaks. And he doesn't have the size and stature of Robert Plant. When Robert strode on stage you were in awe of him. This guy looks like OJ prosecutor Marcia Clarke.
As others above have already noted the band's movements are forced and awkward. Just as Kingdome Clone were. Maybe they can improve? But they need to rethink their approach.
Look, a lot of good people here seem to like them and think they represent some hope for rock and roll, so more power to you and we'll just agree to disagree on GVF.
I prefer the Black Angels, Graveyard, Uncle Acid & the Dead Beats, Thee Oh Sees, Fuzz, the Tedeschi-Trucks Band, Radiohead, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, St. Paul & the Broken Bones, St. Vincent to name a few among the current crop of bands.
Generally Greta Van Fleet are pretty excellent live you can see in the clip before they perform at SNL how nervous they look so a lot of it is nervousness, and about Josh's vocals I've said this many times before but he needs a vocal coach since the later half of this past year he's sounded pretty shity but compare it to how he sounded a year ago and there's no comparison. By the way I too thought the SNL performance was shit but if they move forward and take the right steps there's still a great future ahead of them.

Anyone whose wondering about this source the first 8 songs are uploaded on the Black Beauty site.

It was filmed and projected on the giant screen. We don't know if it was recorded. At least, 24 minutes of 8mm footage exist.
I never doubted that it wasn't filmed I just stated that I find it hard to believe that there's no photos of the screen in use after all it was a record breaking performance with over 77,229 people there you can't tell me no one out of all those people took a picture of the screen.

I’ve always interpreted that Robert was going for the original melody and he doesn’t sound half bad, I really wish we had a Millard quality tape for the 13th I really like how Robert seems to be really going for it on that specific song and then Black Dog at the end of the show.

About ten years ago a guy who goes by Zepp4life post some screen shots and video clip on Royal-Orleans.com. You could see it was shot in the floor about 50 rows back center. It showed the stage and you could clearly see the screen. Looked really nice
Thrn the guy took everything down and never shared it.
That sucks, I wish the people who hoard this stuff to themselves would be less selfish and just share it to the community. I couldn't imagine being the one dude who'd rather keep stuff from the community than sharing it, I see no benefit in letting something sit around when it can be shared for others to also enjoy it too.

My top 5 would have to be
1 Munich 1980: Features in my opinion Jimmy's best soloing for the song ever along with Robert's vocal sounding phenomenal for the time
2 Copenhagen 2nd show 1979:
3 Cleveland 2nd show 1977:
4 L.A 2nd show 1977:
5 Rotterdam 1980:
Honorable mentions include: Pontiac 77, Landover 77 final show, LA 77 all nights, Oakland 77 1st show, Knebworth the 4th 79, Brussels 80, Zurich 80, Frankfurt 80.

I know there's been confirmation that this show was filmed with pictures of a camera crew clearly there filming, but I find it hard to believe there's been no photos of the actual screen in use.

Greta Van Fleet's first single from their upcoming debut album.

Rain Song was fantastic. Trampled, sorry, had to go back and listen/watch EC one.
Yeah I didn't like the middle section at all but Rain Song sounded great.

I'm not usually a fan of what Robert does with Zeppelin songs but this is actually pretty good, I'm amazed by how well Robert sings for his age too bad he couldn't do an acoustic show for the 50th.
New EVSD soundboard?
in Led Zeppelin Live

I don’t want to start anything I was just genuinely curious about this as a 77 fan, could you tell me the story about this show
