Nearly five years in the making...
How The East Was Won, my compilation of the legendary Osaka shows!
Way back in 2015, when I first became a hardcore Zep fan, I heard the Osaka shows for the first time and have dreamed since then of having both shows combined into the greatest live album ever. The first night I started working on it, I became a bit emotional knowing that one of my dream projects was finally coming together.
And now I'm finally finished and proud to share it with all of you!
About 75% of the music comes from the soundboard sources, which was as much as I could possibly do. The rest of it comes from the best sounding versions of the stage source I could find. The versions used for the 29th are Ledsox, Winston, and Wendy; the 28th is the LZ Rarities remaster, and I thank them all for their hard work!
As the soundboards sound a bit different from each other, all songs are the full version from the respective night I chose with the exception of Dazed and Confused. Most of the song is from the 29th, except the last 4 minutes which are from the 28th. I decided not to fill in the gap in the soundboard with the stage source since this section of the song was performed better on the 28th anyway.
There are one or two more songs I'd like to try and splice from both nights if the boards are ever remastered to sound as similar to each other as possible, but overall, this is at least 90% what I wanted the album to sound like almost from the very beginning.
Hopefully v1.0 won't be the last (surely the rest of the WLL soundboard will show up sooner or later), but even if it is, I am very happy with it and I hope you enjoy it!
I will be sharing this on other music forums, but since this was the first LZ forum I joined, you saw it here first!
This sounds amazing, thank you so much for all your hard work, it really paid off!

Actually, what that means is that the 9th Circuit court is the most overturned federal circuit court in the country. I'm sure opinions will vary on why that is. But either way, let's hope it's not overturned this time.
The reason why the 9th circuit is the most overturned is because we have a majority conservative Supreme Court. When the SCOTUS was majority liberal (not for quite some time), it was the opposite so it all depends on the makeup of SCOTUS.
Further, SCOTUS would likely not hear this case if they try to appeal to SCOTUS because there are several criteria which must be met first and this case does not rise to that threshold. Bottom line, its over, Zeppelin won and we can now move on.

Well I just joined SETI @home. You can actually help in the search for alien life. By downloading software and data being constantly observed with listening type telescopes in a remote region and reporting anything unusual. Anything well higher than 1200 MH. But I have not yet downloaded the software. I want to know how large the file is and i may have to connect a backup computer if I choose to do this crazy thing.
DON'T DO IT MAN!!! Its actually a program utilized by the shadow government to track you. Its not as invasive as Facebook but they're working on it.

It's the dragon suit. Page wearing the full suit throughout Earl's Court makes the performances seem better than they were. You can laugh, but it's true.
The shows were typical of 1975- a hoarse Plant, a sticky fingered Page, and a Bonzo that absolutely refused to let himself go crazy. The 18th is pretty smoking though. When I first got back into Zep I found these shows on YouTube and found them slightly hard to watch. The searing performances of TSRTS and raw energy of the BBC Sessions just weren't there. Maybe I was expecting too much from unedited shows, but I saw my idols playing at a less impressive level than I imagined would be possible. Now that probably sounds harsh, but it was a hard dose of reality for me as this was the first time I'd truly seen an unedited live performance by them.
edit: Actually the first unedited live footage I saw was the Danish tv special from 1969, and I'd dare to say it blows the EC footage away.
The EC portion of the DVD from 2003 is pretty damn impressive. Everyone playing and sounding very good and energetic. I do realize that was official release and edited but I have heard both the 18th & 23rd from boots and those are two very stellar shows. I also have the DVD of In the Court of King James and thought as well was quite good (not as good as the 18th or 23rd but still good) though for ITCOKJ you are right, Bonzo is rather reserved.

The appeals court which made this decision in California (9th Circuit Court of Appeals) rarely gets any decisions correct. So bad is this group of judges that we here call them "The 9th CIRCUS Court of Appeals". So if they got this one right it means a really good reason to celebrate, because probably the only decision that court has gotten right in years.
Translation: As the 9th circuit courts decisions run counter to my preference, thus, they suck. After all, who cares if the vast majority of people agree with a decision or determination, if you disagree they all must be wrong. Silly people, they Just keep getting in your way.

Strange show on You Tube about the moon being hollow with possible alien censors inside? I doubt it. The probes sent out in the 70s they said would not reach the first solar system outside of ours for 80,000 years!!!!!!? Unreal. To put it into perspective, that is 40 times as long as when Jesus last walked the Earth. I wonder if our planet will still exist then. Look at what has changed in 100 years. From horses and no phones to driving around with cell phones with computers attached.
Many many probes have been sent out. Some now far superior to the ones I previously mentioned. The Mars rover a huge success. The Jupiter orbiter is too. And many more on their way to distant worlds. Speed is the question I guess and potential collision with asteroids
The speed issue we will probably overcome within a 100 years once we can produce a warp engine (theoretically they exist) or learn to fold space (artificial navigable singularities). We are woefully ignorant in regard to physics and with quantum mechanics and spooky entanglement, the light speed limit really has no bearing. Collisions with asteroids are a non-issue as space is incredibly empty. The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is a good example. You could fly through it for days and not see a single asteroid and the Ort Cloud is even less packed. One thing we do have to worry about are solar system boundaries. As Voyager II was leaving the solar system boundary recently, it encountered a "ring of fire" or extremely intense radiation. No human could ever survive the solar boundary without shielding tech we do not have.
Space is interesting as Hell. Heaven, not so much, just a bunch of Mormons up there.

No way, Zep's music as stated was a product of the times, the zeitgeist if you will and one cannot separate one from the other. If Zep came about today, they would likely have a small following and that's it. Also, the Beatles would be in an even worse position. Due to streaming very few people buy albums anymore, a band makes 90% of their money from touring. There is no way the Beatles could have stopped touring and as mentioned, the record company would never have allowed Sgt. Pepper to be released, much less the White Album.
Everything is manufactured today, overproduced with all emotion removed.

Those are not counterfeit, there are simply "alternative releases." You know, kinda like "alternative facts."

Another fixture of the local music scene has passed at too young an age. A few months ago we lost Kim Shattuck of the Muffs at age 55. Today came the news of David Roback's death at age 61. No cause of death confirmed as of yet.
David and his brother Steven Roback were part of the 1980s Paisley Underground scene in L.A. with their band Rain Parade. David left Rain Parade to form Opal with Kendra Smith, who had recently departed the Dream Syndicate. Then Kendra left to go solo and David asked Hope Sandoval to join him and Opal became Mazzy Star. After a few albums in the late-'80s - early-'90s, Mazzy Star went on hiatus until they reformed and recorded a new album four or five years ago.
Dreamy, hazy, smoky, hallucinatory, melancholy...his music was perfect for dark nights of the soul.
Mazzy Star & Portishead, my early - mid 90's soundtrack. Fantastic, weird times.

yes but, what about the other three?

Ok, I never intended this to degrade into a bash Alec Baldwin rant. Everyone has bad moments and even the best of parents go off the wall at times and to be honest, both my mother and father said much, much worse to me as a child. Of course its not right but we are all human and we all make mistakes.
Regarding his SNL Trump impersonation: if Lorne Michaels is the impetus behind the parody then I can see why Baldwin is playing it so over the top as he does not want to do it in the first place.
The rest though holds true. I don't know of anyone who can parody Trump as he is already a walking parody. The guy is so over the top he is one line of adderal away from going full Vince McMahon on live TV.

One my favorite SNL players and probably one of the most intelligent comics I have ever seen is Norm MacDonald---- probably why SNL/NBC fired him. But MacDonald was talking about the manner in which SNL is currently covering Trump and Norm explains why he doesn't think it is funny. Norm as you know spoofed Bob Dole for years on the show, but Norm said it was funny because he actually admired the Dole--- so as Norm says, it gives some humanity to the character and makes it funnier.
Alec Baldwin hates Donald Trump, so his derision of the man it too much--- it is actually polarizing and not funny.
Dan Aykoyd clearly didn't hate Carter. Same with Chevy Chase and Gerald Ford; Chase didn't hate the man--- and that made it funny. And in terms of Dana Carvey's impersonaton of the Bush I---- also funny and brilliant. So much that the President himself was a fan of Carvey.
One you make it mean, then it isn't going to be very funny anymore. If the idea is getting more viewers; why go out and turn off half the country? SNL is clearly in the hate Trump category-- so not funny. Just proof of how out of step SNL is today with most of America. It is the failure of the big liberal coastal cities to not appreciate that theirs in not the only viewpoint.
For Example:
This was funny
So by your metric The Great Dictator was not funny, or do you think Chaplin secretly admired Hitler?
BTW, most of America voted Clinton, not Trump...over 3 million in fact. The majority of Americans do not like Trump so if anything, SNL is playing to the masses. Whether Baldwin is funny or not as Trump is up to them to decide. Personally, I agree with you that Baldwin stinks as Trump. Not because Baldwin hates Trump, but because Baldwin is a narcissistic jackass who thinks he is being funny when in fact he is being self-indulgent and absurd.
IMO Trump is very difficult to play because Trump's own personality is already so way over the top it is in itself a sick parody of humanity at its worse. So where can you go from there?

Great series but I kind of hated all of the excessive "T&A" which I suppose was required by some executive types at HBO in their misguided thinking that that would be the thing which would make people tune in and pay for a subscription.
Hollywood does that all the time. If they are worried they won't get a R rating they put in a woman's bare nipple in a scene. Don't want a G rating, they add a few four letter words and viola--- a PG-13.
To tell a good story you don't need gratuitous sex and violence. Having the proper measure of each is in the art of good film making.
His office was in a strip club so...how exactly does a director / writer not have naked women running around? I am one of the first in line to call out gratuitous sex and nudity however I never felt The Sopranos were guilty of that as it was all within context IMO.
The Sopranos' was based on the real life DeCavalcante mob family out of Elizabeth, NJ which also operated out of a local strip club.

Fucking Nazi's, always having to be complete dicks. Just watched The Night Porter for the fifth time and same thing....Nazi's are assholes! Only a complete shitbird would even contemplate shooting Charlotte Rampling.

February 13, 1975 - Uniondale -- Great show, probably the best of the New York '75 shows.
- First of the three 40-minute "Dazed And Confused"'s (3/21/75 Seattle & 3/27/75 L.A.) -- this one edges out Seattle by about 40 seconds for second place.
- One of the better versions of "Moby Dick" in this drummer's humble opinion 😛
- A "Trampled Under Foot" that really packs a punch for only being 7:26 long!! (despite the slight miscue heading into the midsection)
- Ronnie Wood guests on "Communication Breakdown" to close it out, just a few months before he became a Stone!
Great show, one of my favorites along with the 14th.
Jimmy must have REALLY loved those loafers as he wore them for three consecutive tours (73'-77').
What conspiracy theories do you think are real or are ridiculous?

No way the CIA's M-16 shot JFK and this is why. M-16's use jacketed rounds, are .223 (same size as a .22 caliber round), and extremely high velocity. The round was designed for one purpose, to create massive internal damage by the use of a high-velocity, unstable round. If he were shot in the back of the head with an M-16 there would have been a very small entry wound, no exit wound from the head (likely none at all but if it did would come out his toe or some other random point), and his brain would have been turned into tapioca pudding from the round bouncing around in his head like a pinball. JFK's head wound was most likely caused by either a large caliber, non-jacketed lead hunting round, or an explosive "dummy" round. There is another possibility but very highly unlikely. That would be a high-powered sniper rifle from a distance of greater than 150 meters as the distance would both reduce velocity and thus increase kinetic damage. The higher the velocity of the round when hitting a target the lower the kinetic damage as the energy will move through the mass instead of being distributed into the mass as happens with a lower velocity round. Quite literally 1/4 of Kennedy's head was blown completely off. The bodies of dead NVA & VC would in most cases, appear as if the person just died as the entry wound was so small it actually took effort to find it in most cases, as with the exit wound if there was one. This is why when a GI would shoot himself to get out of combat they had to pick up an AK from a dead VC, otherwise, the GI could very easily accidentally kill himself simply by shooting himself in the foot or leg whereas an AK round (7.62mm) neither tumbles nor has the velocity of a .223 and just blows a nice big hole right through.
Lechmere is as good a candidate as any. The Ripper case will likely never be solved unless the original police files were to show otherwise which they do not.
The Phx Lights could be explained away. That one could have been a top secret military dirigible. The Nimitz one though, that one is a true mystery.
