Great idea for discussion - I won't delve too much, but.here is my list of what i would say is 'definitive' by definition, but in parentheses are my favorites based on atmosphere and band performance. 12/30/68 (12/30/68) - did we all forget 68? haha 4/27/69 (5/30/69) - i love the change of lyrics in ICQYB due to the incident...the mood of the concert became very muscular. 9/4/70 (3/7/70) - personal tendancy to the Montreaux show due with the intense start and crowd reactions 9/29/71 (9/28/71) - Orlando is really hot, but i'm sticking with the Japan atmosphere as a slight edge 6/18/72 (6/18/72) - seattle...done 7/28/73 (5/31/73)...i'll take liberty and say the euro tour sounds like a totally different era, so I'm throwing in 3/24/73 as a bonus pick. Hell, the return to clubs tour could be defined the same so i'll add 1/22/73! 3/21/75 (2/28/75) - seattle really is my favorite since it was the first bootleg LP i ever bought (207.19/214), but baton rouge just seems to be 'fun' for the group. NQ could be the best version 6/21/77 (6/23/77) - LA...done 8/4/79 (7/28/79) - well, out of 4 shows i don't really put much stock into my picks 6/29/80 (6/29/80) - zurich....done

well, this is my absolute favorite 75 show- I'd love a link! thanks, Steve!

the May 1977 performances in Landover are my favorite - i think the 28th. the bombastic finale sounds like the never want it to end!

this is amazing - and the montage is fantastic. The opening of IS/H has always been my favorite.

Obviously difficult to pin down to one - but my ears are always perked during the 3/17/75 show - not just for the guitar solo but the interaction between Page and Bonzo. Some epic "drum soloing" and call & response there.

I'd love to get a link, thank you! I always wanted this show to sound a little more 'grounded' and hearing previous remasters of yours I'm excited to hear it.

Just wanted to post even if it is five years later. I have #4 out of 150. Got it via a Goldmine ad back in 1998 from a silent auction. Anyone else got one out there?

I typically checked daily, but..."The clock that went backwards" blog was taken down...that used to be a great source for new releases. Bummer.

I've always been a big fan of any medley where they did proper versions of "Going Down Slow." Most notably 6/3/73, they always had a super heavy sound to that number.

Awesome job - this must have taken some time!

love it! if you dont mind i'd appreciate a link to all three of the stereo project releases (i've got all day!)

I really love this thread - some great stories and actually quite diverse. I was 16 in 1990, and just starting my obsession with Zeppelin. It is kind of goofy but I actually first liked the band in the early 80's, although I didn't realize it yet, when I saw the SCTV parody of "Stairways to Heaven" featuring 30 different stars doing their rendition of the song (it is just a K-Tel style commercial, but Google it and enjoy if you've never seen it). Anyway, a buddy of mine tried to capitalize on my obsession by playing me a single-LP version of the Baton Rouge 2/28/75 show, thinking I'd pay him a hundred bucks for it. I scoffed, but found myself going to the record store he got it from. I instantly found a goldmine (pun intended as I scoured Goldmine magazine constantly after that). My first purchase is still my favorite show - the "207.19" and "214" release of the Seattle 3/21/75 show. When the soundboard came out I was ecstatic to say the least, but I still like to listen to that INSANE Dazed and Confused. After that I was mostly into the CD versions, going to local record shows around Milwaukee on a monthly basis.

I dig this kind of thread with serious investigative details to prove a point
