  1. I really don’t like anything after early 1972, because Plant’s voice was getting progressively worse to the point where he had to increasingly substitute low notes for the high ones he was struggling more and more to hit. By the time of the Song Remains the Same, his voice was toast IMO—permanently damaged beyond a doubt (with the nail in the coffin singing with a flu in Sheffield in January ‘73), he had permanently lost the top part of his range and would never again hit any of the really high notes because he was no longer physically capable of doing so. By the ‘79 tour, even the low part of his range sounded kind of shot to me. That sort of ruined all of the shows after ‘72 for me—the vocals were lacking and sometimes painful compared to the earlier shows. I really do love that Royal Albert Hall ‘70 show. Another one which I really like (although the sound quality wasn’t wonderful) was Copenhagen 1971–Plant was really hitting all of the high notes there too and the whole band sounded awesome. It also has the only lived version of Four Sticks I’ve ever heard them play—with Plant actually sounding better than on the album version IMO. Considering that they’d never played it live before, they pulled off a very clean version of it.
