What makes you think that's when ALAIHY and the drum solo came in? Is it mentioned in reviews or is this speculation?

Following same format as above... 1968: Anything, but the Marquee show is the holiest of grails for me. 1969: 5/27-29 - Boston Tea Party (Or anything else from May) - Their most underrepresented tour of America. Only 6 shows circulate, and 3 of them are full. The final Boston Tea Party show may very well have been the fabled marathon performance rumored to be 4 hours, with the Rolling Stones and Beatles Medleys Pretty much agreed with everything else above

I'd see no reason not to rejoice an official Japan release. Of course we aren't gonna get a 36 minute WLL on the official release, it's simply not doable for many different reasons. Fitting it all onto an LP, deciding what other tracks to cut because of a 36 minute song, copyright/royalties issues etc... but anything from this tour in multitrack quality is well worth celebrating. Even with whatever splicing and editing goes on. It's still the band at their peak, and Jimmy wouldn't release it if it weren't worth listening to (then again, we have different ideals of how listenable something is to Jimmy).

The footage definitely exists, about 10 seconds of it is on ledzepfilm's channel

Bowie, Who, and Zep.

Could this radio interview be the reason the tape is misdated? Just a thought . Edit: If I had to guess, I'd be led to believe this interview was conducted on 5/29. JJ refers to Jimmy as "blowing everyones socks off" (or something like that) on Tuesday Night. Tuesday would've been the 27th, Wednesday the 28th, and Thursday the 29th. Had this interview taken place on Wednesday, surely he would've said yesterday rather than Tuesday. By this logic, this radio interview occurred just hours before the group put on an epic 4 hour marathon for the first time in their career. Crazy.

I'd say this is the best version of the show.

Looking forward to hearing, thanks!

This one is fantastic. I've been listening to it quite a bit lately, this has quickly become the best sounding version of this show and possibly the best sounding release of any Europe '73 show. Amazing work, really.

I was there in Feb last year, so post being bought by Omni as well. Still such an awesome place to visit with the song written about it.

I'd love to see what you can make out. I tried tabbing it a while ago, but idk where that is.

I've visited the Royal Orleans hotel in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Not too significant but hey, they named a song after it, right?

I've been trying this one forever, never quite gotten it right. That intro is one of the most beautiful things he's ever played, I'd love to see a tab of it.

Fair enough.

I was just about to say this. Also, to the detractors: there is no reward without any risk.

You majorly misunderstood. When I said it's not like listening to the other two, I meant in quality. I fully understand what made this show great, it's one of my favorites. edit: SOUND quality

It definitely sounds a bit clearer, but it's not like we're listening to BBH or LTTE. Still a decent recording and the remaster did it justice.

It may have been a case of them confusing film with an audio tape, which happened with Montreux '70.

No problem man!

Just yesterday, dadgad upped a new version of Milan '71 with a new source from the show. The show now contains a full Dazed and Confused and a minute and a half of Whole Lotta Love, which ends with tear gas going off. The tape is decently clear if a bit noisy. You can read about it publicly here: https://www.guitars101.com/forums/f145/led-zeppelin-1971-07-05-milan-italy-two-source-mix-new-source-two-707607.html That's what... 3 new sources popping up online these past few days? There must be something in the water.

This is the kind of optimism I love to see around here.

What's interesting about that Long Beach tape is that it actually isn't a soundboard -- I believe people have explained to me that it was actually an unaltered multitrack, explaining the great quality. So really, we've never heard even a snippet of a '72 SBD. The Bloomington/Minneapolis tape is certainly available in some capacity, but apparently for about 20k. There have been discussions of crowd funding or something along those lines over on RO, hopefully that gets off the ground. I'm also not interested too much in a new '75 SBD, but Bloomington, Philadelphia, and Chicago night 2 would certainly be exceptions.

As far as I'm concerned, this is not restricted to RO members. Anyone willing to chip in is appreciated in my book, and the recording would be made public once it's in our hands (again, as far as I'm concerned. This hasn't quite lifted off yet so the logistics haven't been set in stone.)
