  1. 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

     

  2. 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.
