Man, that is amazing to read, and amazing to hear/know. I’m 46ish and started diving into them at about 12. Certainly as I grew up and was able to learn more about them my appreciation/obsession grew. But to read what you posted, or what Mr. Strider has posted has just been an inspiration. I was able to have my Mother and Father tell me stories of seeing them in 69-70 and 71. But, while they were absolutely fans, they were not as consumed as I was. I bring that up because to hear someone that is a decade older than myself, someone who has been dedicated and devoted. It is awesome to read your perspective of their maturations and changes.
Have a great night, it’s pretty incredible that we have the amount of people that are devoted and invested in this group of men.
Thanks again.
You are very kind my friend, this made my day.
I consider myself blessed that when I was 13 and heard Misty Mountain Hop my life was forever changed. When Bonham comes in I stood there stunned. I still remember that moment and can get it back everytime just by playing that song.
And yep, they only get better. So many beautiful bootlegs out there as well.
Have a great day and thanks again for your kindness. The world needs more of that.
Few fave Zep tunes of yours?

Great list mate. Few observations.
1. Hots on For Nowhere was performed by Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes. I have an excellent bootleg recording - will send you a link in a week and a half (I am away camping). Great concert.
2. Tangerine - Page and Plant ones are great.
3. How Many More Times - Surely has to be the 1969 Denmark TV performance?
4. Thank You - What about 31/8/71 - New Orleans? Smoking!
if you have the official release version of ‘In the Light’ from JP and the Black Crowes, I’d really appreciate a link.Great list and a good read.
That Thank You 👆, oh I agree. It is truly smoking.

Great list, I will check them all out when I have time.
Plant has done a few versions of my all time fave Zep tune In The Light a few times. There is a TV appearance of one on YouTube. And it's a good one.

Thanks.
I guess I was just a bit wary of how some forums are policed these days. On some forums you run the risk of being dragged out of your bed in the early hours by the forum police if you post in the wrong section. 🚓 🙂
Oh those people are here, rest assured on that.

Damn, wonderful listen! Love the part at 4:07 and to hear all the acoustic guitars so clearly.
This makes me glad to be alive. I am 57 years old and been listening to Zep since I was 13 and they can still give me goosebumps.
Thanks for the post my friend.
-
I love how scared people are to post here. Kinda sad when you think about it.
Good luck with finding your singer. That's cool how you are not doing cheesy imitations of them. Rock on my friend.
-
Great post, thanks.
In the Light has always hit me harder than any other Zep tune. It and the 2 outtakes are Zep gold.

Thanks so much for posting these amazing pictures.
-
Bootleggers start your recordings!
-
Ummmmmmmm HOLY Mother of God!!!!
Thunder. Pure thunder.

Damn Steve another winner!!!! You have created a true Zep experience. I rarely listen to Stairway but I put that one and was blown away. I was there!
Yep, this amazing show was added to my big file of SteveZRemasters. That is a glorious file my friend.
Thanks as always for the time you put into these, me I simply sit back with some good headphones and groove.
Much respect.
PS. I fucking love 75 Zep! So raw.

If you've posted the correct YouTube link... then you're asking what 'key' an hour and ten minutes of a drone is in?
It's pretty much one note, and that's an E. The note starts very flat, and finally ends up almost settling on that E.... it's still pretty flat (compared to concert pitch) but it's still an E.
You can't really say it's in a 'key' because there's no other harmonic information..... if there was a G in there you could say it was E minor. If there was a G# you could say it was in G major.
It's simply a drone, and you can add your own tonality to it by playing different scales or pitches over it. Any diatonic scale or modal scale with E as the root will work equally well.
Maybe it does something else as it goes along..... but I'm not really prepared to listen to over an hour of a tonic drone just to hear if they add some major or minor information to it 😳
If you're obliquely asking about the apparent 'healing qualities' of the 852Hz & 963Hz stuff, be prepared to go down an absolute rabbit-hole of unevidenced and contradictory information. I'd strongly advise not wasting your time!
852Hz is about halfway between G# and A, so not really harmonically useful (especially as it's a couple of octaves above the drone note). 963Hz is about halfway between A# and B - again not useful harmonically in relation to E (it's almost the dominant... but that doesn't give you 'key' information), and it also creates a dissonant interval combined with 852Hz.Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this. I have been reading up what it is and the Solfeggio frequencies aka "The Holy Frequencies". I find this stuff truly fascinating. It is relieving to know the note fluctuates slightly cause I was struggling to get it. I find that jamming in B with it sounds pretty good.
Ya learn something everyday.

Long time guitar player here and I wanna add this to a project but I can not hear what key it is in. Closest I can hear is D#/Eb.
I have put it into some online key finders and they came up with 3 different keys. And the more I listen and jam with it the more confused I get.
Any help would be much appreciated.

WONDERFUL!!!!! Thanks for the post.

If we can add Greta Van Douchebags on to this show count me in!

I am on this site so I dont need to say zeppelin are my band . Ok bought zep 1 52 years ago and I play their stuff official and otherwise daily . My point . When plant opens his mouth , apart from singing , I switch off . .... " ridiculous is a multifarious term ..... " .
Ha Ha, I totally agree. For me the winners of the "Every-word-I-say-is-important" game are Springsteen, Eddie Vedder and the king of the pile, Bono. Dig some of their music but I, like you said so well, I switch off.

I suggest keep checking ebay. Make sure to modify the search to 'newly listed' first. Something you'll like will turn up in a week or two
Never even knew there was a "newly listed" search. Many thanks.

Hey All.
I am putting the finishing touches on my guitar room and I need a Zep poster. I have been doing google searches, Etsy, Ebay etc and have not found what I am looking for. I am looking for a live shot, 24" X 36" or vice versa. Just wondering if any of the experts here know a site or guy who sells prints etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

That Zep IV signed album would look nice in my guitar room...........

According to Wikipedia, the term coda means "a passage that brings a piece (or a movement) to an end." When the album was first released, I didn't know what the word meant, so I looked it up in a dictionary and that's when it hit me that the band was really done. There had been a lot of speculation between the time Bonzo died and when the album was released that they might carry on with a new drummer, but it was clear once I learned what the title meant that this album marked the end of that dream.
I like this 👆 guy

Oh I love Plant's voice on that one. He was pushing himself for sure. Missed a few notes but that adds to his greatness. Love that they played these rare gems.
