I thought the Latter years where not that bad considering what was out in 1976 and 77' Disco was huge and unforgiving coke-heads made it even weirder. Punk Rock was just coming alive and it was a slap in the face to Zeppelin over indulging in long winded solos at times, but then their was some amazing 1977 shows like Texas, LA Forum, few of the NYC 77' shows, Cleveland in 77' was pretty tight, I think best version of Kashmir was done at that show 4-27-77. Led Zeppelin by 1977 became more of a spectacle then it was a rock and roll concert. Now look at what we have to see......Yeah not much right, I saw the GNR tour and laughed at how cheese it was watching this overweight blubber ball try to re-live his glory days as a lead singer. Yeah he has a good voice and isn't a dick head anymore, but I would cut my arm off to see Led Zeppelin live in 1977, THE excitement alone would be worth the price of admission.

Ok sir. I got caught listening to your videos of Black dog 1980 and Knebworth 79’ holy sh*t you know your live Zeppelin!!!

Lz1. I can’t quit you baby. Lz2. Living loving... lz3. Hats off to Roy Harper lz4 zoso. None that album is a masterpiece lz Houses of the Holy. The Crunge, Dyer maker Physical graffiti , Wonton song, boogie with stu, presence. Royal Orleans, tea for one in through the Outdoor. Fool in the rain, all my love, Hot dog, having read a lot off this thread before I decided to post anything I noticed a lot of people kinda trash Zeppelin latter albums, maybe not trash but point out the lack of quality in those latter albums, some might forget that Zeppelin never played songs like Royal Orleans or Hots on for nowhere live, they might of changed the structure for live shows. I would have loved to hear what they could have done with Carouselambra live? The rough mix that came out couple years ago gives us a hint what would’ve been, the toned down keyboards with more upfront Bonzo and Page jam. Hell yeah !

Well I just listen to N. Q. Im not one to be all technical about frequency modulation does pitch in reverb etc..etc.. but as a longtime fan of Led Zeppelin that upgrade or remastered recording sounded awesome! Keep up the great work! 1969-73’ are my favorite live Zeppelin.

Led Zeppelin is a force that has to be shared, it’s like a positive feeling that you feel when a summer rain washes away the heat and grime. Those lucky enough to witness their concerts good or bad saw something that will never be replicated, because of the magic the light and shadow gave those in attendance something they will never forget, hence this forum is a prime example of that. I watched a CNN documentary on the 1970s in America, I was excited to see what they would say about Led Zeppelin; all that was mentioned was quote “the band that knocked off the Beatles”, then it just shows a clip of the band on their 707 jetliner, and the commentary about 1970s rock groups overindulgence in a fantasy lifestyle...wtf? Nothing about their music, or why they became the Biggest Rock and Roll band ever to walk the Earth. So in short I really hope this documentary explains why Zeppelin is the best period.

Well I liked the version of “In the evening” on the DVD officially released better than the one where Jimmy has a cigarette in his mouth while playing. (Hope that helps) I thought ALS on the DVD was awesome too. Would like to see what you do with Sick again, nobody’s fault but mine, trampled underfoot Kashmir and the rain song if they did that one...not sure?

Care to explain? I have a mixing board.

Deep Purple is a fantastic band, so was Richie Blackmore 🌈 risings Album. You caught my attention when you said best progrock band. Deep purple I don’t see them as pro rock as such as I see Yes, or ElP. John lord is an amazing keyboard player but the guys from Peter Gabriel Genesis blow Deep purple out of the water when it comes to art rock prog rock... Supers Ready, Lamb lies Down on Broadway, Selling England by the pound, Fox Trot. Peter Gabriel Phil Collins drummer Mike Rutherford Steve Hackett Tony Banks the forgotten band that shaped music beyond anything I’ve heard. 13 floor elevators RIP.

I truly think he is done playing guitar in a band. He tried with Outrider that was decent but it never grew into anything interesting. The firm was a good little flame but then that burned itself out. Robert Plant has moved away from hard rock so a Zeppelin was never in the picture. I stopped listening to Jimmy page remarks about getting an album out or being seen on stage. I think we may get something new when he has moved on to the next world.

Your stereo must be old or you have a mixing board frequency modulator because nowadays stereos already have built-in equalizers for instance my Denon has many sound options I don’t like I prefer the equalizer with the little knobs I could adjust but now they stereos don’t give you the option.

You touch on an interesting subject. As much as we think Led Zeppelin was a bad ass band with a killer catalogue majority of Zeppelin fans during their existence were white males and females. Though it’s well documented how diverse their music was from beginning to end, (ie) Black mountain side, with the Indian styled tabla beats. (Personally love this song). Though majority of their concerts where played in America and never having toured Latin America Led Zeppelin up to 1971 were a “word of mouth band” so a lot of people of color weren’t introduced to Zeppelin when they had some amazing album coming out (ie) Marvin Gays 1971 (what going on) plus Stevie Wonder 1972 (Talking Book. ) with the internet we are witnessing another resurrection of classics rock bands that usually were not noticed by POC, example would be how a new group of MTV watchers of the 1980s discovered Led Zeppelin by them playing : The song remains the same movie. ( I fall in that group) well now the Youtube generation are discovering the Mighty power of Led Zeppelin.

Sorry if this topic has already been talked about, but I had to share this version of a Seattle 1975 show. Best concert I think of that tour.

I do too. I have a decent version of the Destroyer on CD, maybe cdr who knows. When I sat down and played it I was like “wow that must’ve been loud as hell in a stadium?” Then reading in this form that a lot of people trash Zeppelin 77’ tour, it made me wonder why? Zeppelin wasn’t touring for a cash grab, their was such a HUGE demand for the band to play live. It was understood that a Zeppelin concert was like going to a religious experience with 60, thousand other followers. Yeah maybe drugs were part of it but that was just for enhancing the experience of the show, (moderation) I could careless what those guys did backstage, from what I’ve read, researched, those lucky enough to attend a Zeppelin concert back in 1977 had a damn good time. As for the noises from Jimmy guitar, that would be fun to do in my garage..lol

Yes the 9/29/71 is beyond Amazing.

Yeah I see your point, but those PSP sharing file sights scare me. The sound quality is great and I’m definitely happy with it. The 7.99 alternative take was a great find, the WTLB is pretty cool with different lyrics, kinda too bad that they didn’t remastered that version. The instrumental version of Kashmir is a one time listen through, John Henry Bonham is a rhythmic masterpiece. Would like to know if there is any 1971 or 71’ sound boards I should be looking for? I want hard copy.

Uh what does that mean? Is it mean the sound quality is bad? Oh well it was only $33.

I found a record shop in a nearby town where I live and found these. The Zeppelin studio outtakes only cost 7.99$ and the Four disc Earl Court cost $34.00. excellent no Quarter and Song Remains the same on the Earl show. Have you guys seen these? * the version of Wanton song is wrong, it’s a alternative of custard pie. * the FM broadcast I believe is a 1975 show.

I personally thought Led Zeppelin was going back to raw power back in the 1980 tour. In the evening live was spectacular, as was Trampled Underfoot. Led Zeppelin was going to blow new wave and punk rock out of the water.
