Sounds great. That particular version of NQ is embedded in my brain, down to every bum note in that glorious, ramshackle solo of Jimmy's.

Spolier alert: He didn't.

^ I will have to listen to that version again, but if you are indeed correct abouyt the 28th that's interesting as that concert on a whole is pretty sluggish, though I think the SBD tape runs a tad slow which adds to it!

Come on now... You're being very harsh on '77 for it's length and self indulgence while a few lines down praising '75! There is a version from '75 that clocks in at 35 mins, which I love by the way. If you were to average the length of the '77 and '75 versions I'd say that they would be very similar in length. Page had some very sloppy nights in '75 also.

Song Remains the Same Re-Issue - No Quarter

If there are indeed any future live releases, I hope Bob Clearmountain does the mixes. He has done a fantastic job on the Stones releases. The Sam Wheat ones... Well, lets not get into those. Absolutely terrible! -
^You beat me to it! There was also definitely a show when her referred to him as 'John Heineken Bonham', could have even been the same one!

^ Agreed Steve. Same happened to me! 🤣

For the life of me I'll never understand why they didn't restart Achilles. Perhaps you're onto something and they just wanted to get the hell out of there so plowed on with it.

I'll only believe that this will come to fruition once I'm seeing it with my own eyes. Sadly, I've learned to have 0 expectations from any supposed official Zeppelin related releases. I seriously would not be surprised if it fades into the ether along with Jimmy's solo album, his desire to be seen playing live, the supposed releases for the 50th that never happened etc. All that said, I hope to god I'm proved wrong!

Opening Up-some vague ramblings about set list starters.

Rock n Roll just sounded so damn tired in '75. I always skip it when listening to a '75 show. -

Yes I have often wondered this re the tour myself. Same with the lack of professional recordings/filming the band had done of their concerts. PG was a great manager, and without him, maybe we're not on this forum dissecting and discussing a band that has ceased to exist since 1980. One cannot deny the questionable decisions regarding your points made above though. -

I don't have much time but I'll give my concise thoughts. They opened with rock and roll for way too long, it was tired by '75, and often a painful listen due to Rob croaking his way through the song. TSRTS was a perfect opener and the segue into The Rover/Sick Again was a serious 1-2 punch. Sometimes I do wish though that the band had played the full version of The Rover. But man, just listen to any half decent aud of an above average '77 show, the opening salvo of TSRTS and Sick Again had the atmosphere at a fever pitch. -
You've got to have some real blinkers on to try and defend Jimmy's playing during those concerts. Still, the point was that it massive that he was playing on stage again, let alone playing guitar. Its a miracle he was able to play at all in that condition.
