Great post! Great follow up as well. On audience recordings, the goal should just be improving what we have. Especially the historical shows. I digress though. It will be difficult since these recordings are of varying quality. Baltimore 1972 and 1973 are examples of this.

Another change no one talks about is the spring 70 us tour and the summer tour. That shift from LZ2 to LZ3 damaged his original voice. He lost alot of range but especially textures within his voice. That Arizona show at the end of the spring tour is the culprit.

Do it do it now!!........black dog!

fort worth 71. so slow that it feels like 73....

Jimmy was playing much better and kinda left alone while JPJ and JB locked in.nly when Jimmys altered his tone and his soloing began to decline a bit, did Bonham start playing more with him than Jones. = Jimmys playing peaked in 73. His tone also peaked in 73. His soloing declined in 75. Everything about page declined is 75 sound,tone,dexterity,musical choices(throwing away the blues rockabilly sections and creative freak-outs shows that he really couldn't deliver anymore live. All good things come to end. But it came to an end after 73. Bonham's playing was an amazing creative twist in zeps live playing. It gave them new live textures ,sounds and kept things fresh.

I completely disagree. 73 was peak page. The solo section in this show is better than any version of celebration day from 71. I'll take this page and bonham any day of the week. 7:29! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpJBwLccY_E&t=6s

Auckland is the best show. IMO

I've come to look at this tour as being really overrated. The band never really gels. Jimmy's playing at 30% compared to the level he was playing at the us tour. No wonder the audience looks tame in that footage from Sydney.

Damn. Buffalos sent me on a high.

That southern trek from Texas to New Orleans and Mobile is also really good! Salt lake city is also very good!!

Top shows of the tour for me are now; 1. Baltimore 2. Seattle 3. Msg shows 4. Buffalo 5. Detroit shows

WOW. Buffalo really is a great show. Jimmy and Bonzo drag it to greatness by tooth and nail!!

Pretty please. Does Anyone have this? Please pm me a link?!

Thanks!! in advance.
