I’m new to the forum and Zeppelin boots. Been listening to the band for years and love the two official Live releases. I set out to find a good 1977 Soundboard just because I wanted to hear The Presence Material live. In the last 2 days I listened to most of Texas Hurricane and The MSG show— both soundboard. Have to say, I really enjoyed them, warts and all. Are there really people that prefer an audience recording to soundboard? I mean, I listened to “Listen To This Eddie” about a year or so ago and while I was totally impressed with the energy of the performance, the sound was completely underwhelming— it sounded like, well... an audience recording! A pretty good one at that, but audience nonetheless. Noisy, lacking dynamic lows and highs. Midrangey— nothing that I could extract a track or two to place on a party mix for my Zep-loving friends. I hope someone finds a board recording from that show someday. I believe Jimmy looked for one while compiling material for the DVD release a few years back and didn’t find much? can anyone point me in the right direction for where I might find Zep Boots? Please share. I listened on YouTube.

Is there any hope that we might one day see (hear) “A Listen To This Eddie” LA Forum show in soundboard? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Jimmy went through the archives— specifically 1977, when he was searching for material for the DVD/How The West Was Won Release and didn’t find a lot from 1977. Who else might have it, if not the band? That’s too bad. Can someone point me in the right direction for where I might find these 1977 shows for download? Share the music, share the love. thanks, Arthur
