This one gets my vote, but of course I'm prejudiced. I've always told people this was the best concert I've ever seen. Interesting enough, out of only 7 comments, 3 people agree with me ! As mentioned by one person, the buzz in the parking lot after the show is something I will never forget. Jimmy's obviously feeling good and quite animated on the stage. Cracks me up when he's stomping his leg during Heartbreaker. Don't hurt yourself !
I've never had this level of post concert buzz in the parking lot right after a show. Sept 19, 1998 in LA was the only show I've ever been able to make it to and I'll never forget it. The stairway teaser at the end of BIGLY...I was beside myself for a sec, as I thought they were actually gonna play it. Such an unreal night and unreal buzz...and I was stone cold sober!

Are there any good websites devoted to these Page & Plant late 1990's years? There are so many unique Zeppelin websites, There must be a few sites that dive deep into these concerts. I'm most hoping to see info on the 1995 Tour, but the other two are also needed. Actual bootleg archives would be the best, but even write ups, stories, set lists, etc. Something with excellent attention to detail like The Garden Tapes would be amazing...but maybe not that detailed, lol.

Shake My Tree was a very cool song. I really liked that it was included in the Page Plant '95 tour. Really cool "new" song for them.

What bloody eludes me in this one is that it uses a lot of energy in explaining the ins and outs of Page's magick and Crowley things but not a fuckin' word about Plant's vocal decline in the fall/ winter 72/73 prior to their biggest tour so far. How were they dealing with it individually, as a band, from the management side etc.
Agreed. This book was good and chalk full of detail, but waaay too much Crowley for me. Not saying it wasn't a thing in Jimmy's life and needed some referencing, but Wall leaned on it too heavily, imo. The book was also terribly structured; it didn't read smoothly. He had clearly done his research, but the way he crammed it in was annoying to read. I am glad I read it, for the detail though.

Agreed, the earlier Celebration Days were better. The 1973 (1976) TSRTS too was my staple for live Zep for a long, long time; not having access to anything else. I was never really thrilled with the 1973 Celebration Day and sorta surprised they would open the set with it. It wasn't a great second punch after RnR. Then when 1972s HTWWW was released...that Celebration Day blew me away. It's actually fun to listen to. Especially the last half of the song. So rockin n upbeat. I've since divested heavily into the bootlegs of course (one good internet upside) and this 1971 version above is a lot more like the good HTWWW version. Odd that one year later it would become so flat, by comparison.

Thanks Brad. Your live compilation project is amazing. I did not mean to ignore your questions. This thread has been out of mind for so long that I neglect to check it.
Taking notes and having 1977 tapes to listen help flesh out the memory. I did not take notes in 1975 so those shows are more of a blur than the other tours.
The "D'yer Mak'er" tease did not strike me as much as the "Dancing Days" we got on the final night. I think it is because by then I had already sussed that the band did not like "D'yer Mak'er". It is the only song on "Houses of the Holy" that the band did not play in concert. I did not really care for the song, either, so I don't remember thinking "Wow, they are gonna play it!" Also, Robert was famous for tossing out bits of lyrics in between songs that the band would refuse to join in on. The exceptions being "Rip It Up" at the end of "In My Time of Dying" on June 25, 1977 and a few other times.
No, the tease that fooled me and kind of pissed me off was the little bit of "The Rover" intro we got after "The Song Remains the Same". I really thought they were going to play "The Rover" and then of course they go into "Sick Again" instead. "Sick Again" was okay but for six nights I kept wishing they would just play entire "The Rover" song.
It took me a few days to recover. The last Forum show was on a Monday night. I was refreshed and recovered (and the ringing in my ears gone) by Friday.
Agreed, this version of In My Time of Dying rocks. Would he have not done it if it wasn't actually Saturday night? Glad it was. I know, I'm not sure why they never played The Rover either. It's a concert worthy song for sure. When I saw Page/Plant in 1998 they teased Stairway right after BIGLY. I was nearly beside myself as I knew at that time they'd never play it. I was bummed but in some ways also floored that I got to hear even that much with my own ears. I do think if the '75, '77 and '80 tours had not each been cut short, we would have gotten more of the un-played songs.
Thanks for the aftermath accounts. I bet you slept until 3pm the Tuesday after, haha. You saw my final take of my compilation project, cool. PM me if you want it. No doubt you have the songs already, but for someone like yourself you might appreciate the in between editing of it. Anytime, lemme know.
Cheers,
Brad

What an account Strider. So amazed at all of the detail you could recall! Given it took you 5 years to write it (life got in the way), I don't feel so bad taking nearly all summer to read it, haha! Life (vacations, yard projects, etc) also got in the way for me. Plus I'm a slow reader who wants to absorb every detail of this seeing as I never got to see Zep in concert; I was born this very year. With probable bias, I think '77 was a fantastic Zep Tour year. Haters can hate and get bent.
I gotta say if you consider the '77 LA Concerts as one entity, this goes down in some serious Zep history, imo. My 'best of' live versions compilation of their concert material has 9 songs from these LA nights. Considering the hundreds of concerts to draw material from, I'd say that in itself is telling of just how cool this leg of the '77 concerts were. So awesome and crazy that you got to witness pretty much all of it.
Questions. Where about in SIBLY are there notes of Tea For One? I've heard this before, but somehow never seem to locate...then I doubt it's the version I'm hearing...then I get side tracked by how cool SIBLY is and forget to listen for TFO. Also, in Show 5 after That's Alright Mama, the bootlegs capture Plant teasing the crowd with a few verses of D'yer Mak'er. Did you recall hearing it live that night? Did you think they were going to play it? Any concert accounts/recollections on this? One last thing, after the final night, did you sleep for a week? how long did it take to recoup from that epic battle? Thanks again for this thread!
Cheers,
Brad

This is what I do on or as close to every Sept 25. Get hammered and watch at least 2.5 hr of live Zep. Good times indeed.

I listened to 4/27 and 5/30 back to back a few times. I think Jimmy's playing on 5/30 is better, especially in the solo, which sets it apart for me.
I'll have to give Largo another go. I was leaning towards a better plant performance, so likely overlooked the rest of the band in this one. Thanks!

Exhaustive effort, no doubt. But the Destroyer stuff is a no-go for me. I can't stand the sound of the 1977 soundboards...too antiseptic. Especially Destroyer. Jimmy makes a hash out of the guitar solo. There are a plethora of better "Ten Years Gone" from 1977...all on decent to excellent quality audience tapes. I would even rather listen to the "Ten Years Gone" from the Seattle 1977 soundboard.
1979 has two great "Ten Years Gone" from July 24 Copenhagen and August 4 Knebworth.
Thanks Strider! Coming from you, that means a lot
I think my growing up on Destroyer has made this sound you speak of so normal to me, that it sounds so good to me. And yes, I did cut out the guitar solo completely from this project. It's like Avant-garde Jazz to me; a bunch of random experimental noise. Not even after years of listening did I ever like it. For me it was the unenjoyable drag down in any of the 77 concerts stuck between all of the good stuff. In my boot, it was affixed to Achilles, so I couldn't easily just skip over it either.
I'll have to give another try to your TYG recommendations. I did try a lot, but none had the same raw emotion in plants voice like this one. I guess that's what I like in slower songs, to be overflowing with emotion. So wish they did I'm gonna crawl while all together. @shnflacwav do tell me if it's been a good revisit...or am I off on an island alone on this one. Always a possibility.
-
Thanks! Glad you liked it. The lesser played songs like this didn't always have a lot to chose from. With enough searching and recommendations I think I captured pretty good versions of everything out there, quality wise anyways.
-
Oh, and in staying on topic, damn, I can't wait for this new release. If it's half as good as the rumours, I'll have to update my best of project with these versions of Four Sticks and Gallows Pole! Super exciting times.

I started collecting in the early 1990’s, and did so you until about 2001. I was shocked and saddened a bit when I realized all the money I had spent on collecting shows and limited releases were suddenly available online for all. I had spent a lot of time driving all over the Bay Area, southern Ca and even going to hole in the wall shops while out of state and buying shows that I did not have in my collection. All in all, I probably spent somewhere in the 10K range on shows alone. That’s not including the magazines, posters, shirts, books, etc. around 2004 I realized that the shows I bought were still important, they were important to my life. It was and is a passion, but for all of the people out there that have found and made shows available to us for free, and helped to insure the importance of the band, the continuation of the band through many generations that is equally as important. And I am stoked that they have made them available for free. It’s somewhat perplexing that someone who was not of age to record the band, can somehow get said recordings, and then want to force people to buy said shows. I also believe that we should be paying for some shows, and that as collectors we need to to help the continuation of shows to be released. I have to say having read your reply’s, and statements over the years is beyond cringe worthy. Who are you to personally profit off of the band. If you are not old enough to have been at any of the shows, let alone 69-72 and you are somehow profiting and holding onto shows for personal gain or out of grievances, then you my friend have some issues to work through. You are not the gate keeper of their music. And you should not get to decide on the distribution of their shows and profit off it. Or certainly not brag about trying too.
I have followed your many different names throughout the years on a couple of forums, and you really say some stuff that is simply stupid. Be well Zepster.
I'm with Plant77 on this. I was barely alive when Zep disbanded and finding these boots in the late 90's at fringe record stores was amazing. Given that was the only way, I'm not upset that my material became free years later. I got to enjoy it for many early years of my youth. Road trips, mix tapes, etc. Not to mention just simply getting more zep than less, and sooner, was awesome. So when the internet then flooded me with mountains of more zep, it was just a gift to me to be eternally grateful for, to whomever put it up. I also agree that it's the only way Zep will live on. One day sadly our three remaining members will pass on, and then likely no more official releases of anything. So all we have left is what boots remain out there.
What still surprises me to this day that my boot of I Gotta Move (69 Stockholm) is infinitely better in quality than every other version I've heard on BlackBeauty or other versions that's been shared with me. I don't know what the maker of "A Secret History" did to it to make it sound so good, but it's awesome. I just finished a live compilation project (see my thread, shameless plug) and I opted for a few of my actual boot versions over what was made available by others. They sometimes seem to sound better, at least to me. So, to me, collecting vs free is not a black and white topic. There are pros and cons to each approach. It's so graciously awesome that so many concerts are out there for free, I certainly cannot afford to buy them all...in fact there so many, I'm not sure if I could find the time to listen to each of them, haha. But there's also value in buying a good boot when it's there. In fact every time Black Beauty goes down, I say "thanks goodness I have my boots, they'll never leave me". Not to mention some money does need to be paid to incentivize makers to keep 'em coming and keep the quality up. Pretty sad that us hardcore fans can actually use this band as a platform for bickering. Stay focused on the music, it's why we're here.

Such a thorough review! I wish I got these a while ago. I will definitely give them a listen, and possibly include it into my own Sets. I think if I post another version of this, The Forum might ask "Is he not done yet?", lol. Super interested in you Gallows recommendation. Destroyer's Ten Years gone might be hard to beat. I've listened to a ton and nothing so far has topped the raw emotion Plant belted out that night in Cleveland.
I should note that I meant Zeppelin never performed those songs live. As for the soundchecks, with the exception of Fry's Night Flight that I did include, I found they all really lacked the energy of a concert performance, so I've left them out. They were more like rehearsals for studio work...to me anyways. Page n Plant performed quite a lot of stuff over the years, solo and especially in their 95/96 tour...which I'm looking fwd to tackling next! True, I used stuff from Celebration Day, but technically they were billed as Led Zeppelin.
-
This is my 3rd and I Final take on this and I swear I won't plague the Forum with another one of these, haha. If you've followed or contributed in any way to my previous two takes, you may recall what motivated me to do this. If not, here's a quick summary.
Curiosity got me asking, of all the Live songs Zeppelin did, what do I have in my library...and just how many songs did they perform live; 58. This led me to realize I've been living under an internet rock for a very long time.
There are so many unreal zeppelin websites that I could not have done this without. Black Beauty was the most relevant by far, ditto this Forum. The music and content between those two sites was an unbelievable resource. A huge thanks to devoted Zep Fans who offered insights and thoughts as I took on this ~2.5 year task. Then there's sites like The Garden Tapes by Eddie Edwards; such masters level devotion to the official live content. And other detailed sites like the Plantations website, the site that itemized cover songs they did, etc. So much good info out there that helped me tackle this project, thanks and kudos to all.
So here it is, my final cut at Zeppelin's Best Of Live Performances. The biggest difference from before is the influence of the 2003 DVD songs I finally got onto mp3, thanks to Xolo1974. For these (and the other official release songs) I've embedded into the file the reference date/location of the performance; thanks again to the high detail of The Garden Tapes work. A few new Heartbreaker and Dazed versions made it in as well as a few other recommendations from Forum Folks. There's also a lot more B-sides as many recommendations couldn't be left off. I'd like to put another big shout out to Michael Fry who offered his unreal work from his 50th Anniversary Box Set efforts (see his forum post) not to mention his editing advice via the Audacity application. With it I've been able to make so many edits, most of which were tinkering with Plantation intros and outros to songs. But it also helped with so many other small things that improved the listening experience; often a 30+ minute effort to improve less than 30 seconds of song, haha. Between those and a lot of advice, thoughts, feedback, etc. Mike's fingerprint is on this a bunch!
Note that this project focused more on song quality, as some muffled audience versions were good but sounded too much like someone was snuffing out my speakers with a pillow. So I did focus heavily on official releases, soundboards or very good audience recordings.
Between their live content and cover tunes, there's over 81 different songs. But when you consider the multiple versions of their major hits and the 15 B Sides, this massive seven set 125 song "concert" compilation comes in at over 18.5 hours of some seriously sweet Zeppelin listening.
Some songs are referenced by their official release CD/DVD. Some songs are referenced by their well known concerts which I pulled several songs from. The remainder are referenced directly with their location and date. Hopefully this is easy to follow. The below can let ya put this together yourself, and then even modify it to fit your fav song preferences. Feel free to PM me if you'd like my copy as it'll save you a lot of time...maybe even years, haha. Enjoy!
Set A
Most of this set is targeted at songs created in 1968-69. I cut A15 down to mostly just the melodies. The first part was pretty poor in quality yet the melodies were in much better condition...and considering WLL shows up a lot in the following sets, this altering made sense to me. The first two B Sides show up in Set A now, as more cool versions came my way.A1 Good Times Bad Times – Celebration Day CD
A2 I Can't Quit You Baby – Live At Olympia CD
A3 The Train Kept A Rollin’ – Texas Pop Festival

A15 WLL Melodies - Osaka
A16 You Shook Me – Live At Olympia CD
A17 How Many More Times – Fillmore West
A18 Communication Breakdown – Live On Blueberry HillSet B
This set is aiming towards 1970 songs. By somewhat coincidence I stuck a lot of the Blueberry Hill material together, in it's original sequence as it sounded great the way the band had it. Forum folk brought my attention to RAH's Heartbreaker, which legit is an outstanding version. Given it was cut off, I thought the latter half of an Osaka concert was equally good and fitting to complete the song. I transitioned it as best I could but have to admit it's ok, but not perfect, yet enjoyable enough to keep.B1 We’re Gonna Groove – Montreux Mar 7, 1970

B14 Whole Lotta Love – Live on Blueberry Hill
B15 Blueberry Hill – Live On Blueberry HillSet C
In this somewhat 1971 set, I did another WLL melodies. The beginning of WLL HTWWW was very similar to TSRTS and others, so I cut it and focused on the material that was different. Celebration Day below is such a good version, but the start up was relatively drab, so I swapped a few seconds from TSRTS to liven it up.C1 Immigrant Song – HTWWW CD

C9 WLL Excerpt – HTWWW CD, Cut ~10 mins, starts w Millionaire
C10 Stairway to Heaven – TSRTS CD (original)
C11 How Many More Times – Texas Pop Festival
Set D
This mostly 1972 themed set begins to transition into 1973. Black Country Woman is a bit lower in quality, but I believe was the only time they played it before the '77 concerts, so it seemed right to include it. I put D9 & D10 on the same track so they would play seamlessly like they're supposed to.D1 Communication Breakdown – BBC CD
D2 Dancing Days – HTWWW CD
D3 Money – Frankfurt June 30, 1980
D4 Louie Louie – HTWWW bootleg LA June 25, 1972

D8 Travelling Riverside Blues – BBC Sessions CD
D9 Misty Mountain Hop – TSRTS CD (2007)
D10 Since I've Been Loving You – TSRTS CD (2007)
D11 Stand By Me – Osaka Oct 9 1972
D12a Rock and Roll – HTWWW CDSet E
The songs I was setting aside for this set started to take the form of the 1973 TSRTS, with E5 being the only real exception. I somewhat followed the order of the original NYC set list. With D12 finishes off Set D, it helps blend into the start of Set E given it was the concert opener in ’73. I again put E2 & E3 on the same file so they would blend properly without my mp3 player botching it up with a pregnant pause. Any recommendations for a good MP3 player? It does this with all my other albums too; really annoying.E1 Black Dog – HTWWW CD
E2 The Song Remains the Same – TSRTS CD (original)
E3 The Rain Song – TSRTS CD (original)
E4a No Quarter – Snow Job
E5 The Crunge – WLL excerpt Dallas Mar 5, 1975

E9a Heartbreaker - Earls Court
E10a Whole Lotta Love – Detroit July 13, 1973
E11 The Ocean – HTWWW CD
E12 Thank You – NYC July 27, 1973
Set F
This set is an attempt to feature Physical Graffiti a bit. F6 and F10 are excellent versions provided by Michael Fry, really cool listens. I added a small touch to F10 and hopefully blended it well enough that you'll notice it and not notice it at the same time. I started adding more plantations in these later sets, I felt they added to this project making it feel more concert-like without just cutting this exactly song by song. Cheers to Strider who directed me to the soundboard for The Wonton Song, it's legit the most clear of the few versions out there; great find from a guy who seems to have some of the most obscure and in depth knowledge of the band.F1a Going to California w Custard Pie interlude – Houston May 21, 1977

F10 Tangerine – Earls Court combo 18th & 24th
F11 White Summer – Royal Albert Hall
F12 Kashmir – Destroyer
F13a WLL/Rock And Roll – '77 LA Show 3
Set G
The final set is focused on live material they played after 1975 and then also has some very cool versions of their earlier stuff.The difference between Take 2 of this project and Take 3 mostly shows itself in Set G, as two more songs got moved/added in here while some others got replaced and/or got moved to the B sides. Overall, there’s a lot of songs and each version tends to be long. This set now clocks in at just over four and a half hours culminating in a grand finale of some serious tunes!
I had to edit Black Country Woman and Hot Dog together. I liked the immediate start of Hot Dog, but again, my mp3 player's pregnant pause was ruining things. For similar reasons G25 & G 26 are also one track, you'll see why with how I've edited them. I liked how 1977s G12 sets up 1975s G13.
NQ is such an artsy concert song. So many versions sounds unique at first, which didn't make selecting a few 'best' versions for this project easy. I quarreled over a dozen versions, listening to them repeatedly for a week; and at 25-30 mins each, it was an undertaking, haha. I may have gotten caught in a Zep vortex, but I did finally see some similar themes in the versions, which helped reduce it to the few in this 'concert'. In this set I merged the first half of Destroyer's NQ with the June 11 show that was cut off. I did later found the full recording, but preferred the combo as it reduced 2 versions into 1 while making a long and epic NQ. I also did a Stairway combination in this set. I think it comes off really cool, but you'll have to judge for yourself.
Yes, there’s 2 versions of WLL in this one set. The 1980 version, however, is so different from all of the others, that G14 and G29 are hardly the same song…and I spaced them out by over 2 hrs, so I hope it’s not too much WLL. Lastly, I had another version of The Crunge in my pile of songs I liked, but had no place left for it to go. So I decided to extend the final WLL by adding it to the Crunge portion of the song. I don’t expect most will like it, but it is nice to have the final song of the long final set of this massive concert to be a bit longer than just 14 minutes.

B Sides
These are the biggest change for Take 3 of this concert as they grew from 3 songs to 15 thanks to all the great forum suggestions. A bigger B-side makes for more of a switch up to the Concert which I liked. Again, the idea is to slip these versions in and out of their respective places in the set lists. I've edited the intro/outros to these so they transition well into the concert. F13b was an attempt at mimicking F13a, I think they work together; sorta how they do in the '77 LA Concerts.A07b Dazed And Confused - 2003 DVD

My research into this project focused on their legacy concerts and recommendations in the Forum from you folks. I didn't listen to or go through all of their live material but I feel this collection of songs is pretty solid though.Don’t like my set list? Take this set list and then make it your own. Remove what you don’t like and put in what ya do. The above should at the very least make a good starting point for ya.
I’ve been listening to many versions of all of their songs for over two years now and am still not sick of it. It shows just how solid, creative and variable these guys were. If you do start a project, I strongly recommend good record keeping from day 1. A few versions I didn’t record which concert they were from…it took me forever to figure it all back out. I believe I got it all sorted out, but I guess you'll have to listen to it to find out! DM me and I'll send you the downloadable links. Cheers,
Brad

This one has been discredited along with Hammer of the Gods.
How much of these two books have been discredited? like some or most of the books? Any notable things you remember that are straight up wrong? Overall, that's too bad, they were such good reads.
-
Unless I missed it in the thread, there's this too. It was the first Zep book I read. Lots of crazy stories.

believe it was in japan where they invited him on stage and they did leave stage for a moment, this was in hammer of gods if you can believe what Cole says
Yup, and I just saw it again in the Treasures of Led Zeppelin by Chris Welsh, which got me thinking about it again.

How does one ditch someone mid-song? Did they just exit the stage in the middle of the song leaving Carson all by his lonesome on-stage?
Sorry, but this makes no sense.
Yes, apparently this is exactly what happened. but I can't seem to find a boot that matches this taking place. I've read it in two books now.
-
If I have this right, Zep played a prank on Phil Carson by ditching him mid song in a Japan 1971 show. Does anyone know the show and song where this occurred? I tried finding it once, to no avail, but I'm sure I just wasn't patient enough. Apparently they got booed for it and kinda is one of their few professional stage regrets. Anyways, I'm hoping to hear this happen. Does anyone know these fine details?

Myself and The Dogs of Doom have an ongoing 20+ volume liberation series with several unheard shows (or previously unheard sections of shows) and films.
This is awesome, thanks!

A few I can think of are shown below. I'm not sure which ones the Dogs of Doom were responsible for, but they are the driving force in releasing previously unheard Zep recordings. Thanks to them for all of their work:
7/5/1969 (audience)
10/17/1969 (audience)
11/2/1969 (audience)
12/6/1969 (audience)
9/1/1971 (audience)
9/28/1971 (soundboard)
9/29/1971 (soundboard)
6/21/1972 (audience)
7/13/1973 (audience)
1/18/1975 (soundboard)
3/24/1975 (soundboard)
So new material does surface still, really cool. And by the looks of it, maybe 1-2 per year. Thanks for this info!
-
In the past 5 years or so, how many completely new recordings of old concerts have surfaced? or even a Soundboard, when it was thought there was only an audience recording? To be specific, I'm wondering from the 1968-80 period of concerts. I see new uploads every week on BB, and always just presume they are remasters or something like that.

I'm still putting the finishing touches on the 9/29/71 show (basically trying to tone down the cymbals on a few songs without killing the high end.) I've also started working on the 4/27/77 show. Here's a sample. If the whole thing sounded this good I'd be very happy, but I'm running into a technical problem on some of the songs that I need to figure out (quiet passages get compressed so hard they become inaudible.) I thought it would be easy to fix but it's proven to be more of a pain than I hoped. I have a link for this one song, but not the rest of the show yet. PM if you want a lossless copy of the full song.
Where are you putting your finished Stereo Project? Black Beauty? Have you finished your project? The songs on this thread sound really great!
Unless I missed it in the thread, there's this too. It was the first Zep book I read. Lots of crazy stories.

Nice! Really cool to learn, after reading this thread, that they kept getting better and better and so these later shows were tight. I recall thoroughly enjoying it, but didn't fully realize that they were really peaking on this tour. I'm from Canada, so I actually had to travel to LA to see it. Such a good time, I'll never forget it!
