Recently its been these three.
Vienna '73 (Night Owl matrix)
Osaka 9/29/71 (Winston's 3 Source + Steve's Stereo Project of the SBD)
Blueberry Hill (Night Owl matrix)
Many different shows are always on rotation, but these have gotten the most focus as far as listening from begging to end goes. Been studying the changes over their predecessors, which are long-time classics, and the gains made with new programs and new sources that are now available.

If that's the case, you should get these headphones. They cost more than a used car, but apparently they are incredible. A little flashy for ole Thalassophile, but the style is right up your ally (it will go well with the suite). And you can afford the $4,000.00 price tag there, Bruce.

I wish I had the time, skill and ear to do what Steve, Nite Owl, Dagdad, Winston and others have accomplished over the past few years. If the gravy train stopped now I would not complain, what we have is beyond what I would have ever expected (I've been collecting since the late 80's). And all for free no less. My jaw drops every time I listen to SIBLY on Nite Owl's Vienna project. I simply cannot believe multiple AUDs were used to created a stereo image like that. DAMN.
If I had the proper programs and knowledge, my choice for an attempt would be Seattle from the 73 tour. There are now two clear AUDs (one a stereo tape that was an early bootleg classic, the other is a gorgeous mono capture that was recently re-transferred and upped on Dime), and a partial soundboard. Imagine using Steve's skills to divide up the SBD into multi-tracks and then Nite Owl using his/her/their matrix skills with the SBD parts and AUD sources. Oh ya, that would be fantastic if it could actually work out. That's the thing I suppose, you need the right sources that compliment each other, so it's not just a matter of using every available source. I think there is a good amount of luck in the mix as well.

Yes please. Thank you Steve!

I was hoping this was on your list. Looking forward to see what you did with Trampled Under Foot. Link PLEASE, good sir.

Sounds awesome! I think what people are anticipating is the near-ish future is an AI program that will take everything you have been doing to the next level using other recordings as a reference. Sort of an audio version of face mapping techniques used in film. Example: recreating a young Luke Sywalker in the final episode of Season 2 of the Mandalorian.

This is such a fascinating topic. One of my top picks would be the April 27, 1969 Fillmore show. Being able to upscale it and fix some of the cuts (most notably Killing Floor) has always been a daydream of mine. Its a fantastic candidate: a great recording, killer performance. Plus there is an AUD to use a a guide for the missing portions, and in addition, you have good to excellent recordings of the same setlist for that stretch of shows, including the April 24 SBD which has a crystal clear capture of Jone's bass tone in the left channel.

"Massive" is a damn good description, especially Kashmir. It feels like I am hearing the '77 versions like they should be heard for the very first time. It sounds more "modern" for lack of a better term, the mix and soundstage are more reminiscent of later live versions, including 02, with thunderous drums and bass. The guitar /melletron placement is so much better too.
The way reverb /echo was added to the different separated parts on all the songs and juxtaposed to the sound of the audience is a neat trick, it makes it all sound like a Superior AUD recording or a Matrix. Also cool how some of the guitar tones and effects are detailed and "split" (most evident in In My Time of Dying). SO MUCH FUN. Thank you Steve.

Oh hells yes please. Thank you so much Steve. 🤘

Hi All. First post. Long time collector of live Zep since the late 80's, just joined for these incredible stereo remasters. It's amazing to see this technology finally arrive, collectors have been dreaming of this for decades. Thank you Steve for your dedication and generosity.

Which 3 Shows Do You Listen To the Most?
in Led Zeppelin Live

Hi 1975NQ. I know it was upped on Dime. I think the 4 source matrix you found is it. If memory serves, Nite Owl is only mentioned in the word doc within the file that lists the sources and titles, not in the torrent name. If you download that first, you should be able to confirm.
What he/she/they? did is astonishing. Once you have it, compare SIBLY from the Winston remaster. The second source (which was taped from a very complimentary section of stadium to the classic boot) is added to give a better stereo image. The bloated bass frequencies from Source 1 have been removed as well. It's just stunning.
