Listening to 20.3.75 Vancouver for the second time in row. Have heard this one before but now I realize it has a great uptempo jam section. Nornally I have felt the slower tempo ones are my favourites but at least this one works very well.
Anyway, all these get blurry after a while but I have listened to 21. & 27.3. recently and I have a feeling this one tops them.

This Vancouver/ Seattle run 1975 is quite epic. Hard to judge which one I like the best. The vibe on this one is relaxed and humorous. It has never hurt that the quality of these recordings is amazing.
-
Sorry, cannot help as haven't done comparisons. This one sounds good for an audience recording. Check bootledz for comments...
Comparing this to 11.8. one always wonders what the fuck happened!? Contrary to Plant's comments they were ready to kill it but they dropped the ball, especially on the second Knebworth show that should have actually been the best of all the four shows.
Edit: Despite the Moonchild cover saying it is a Winston, I doubt it 99,99%.

A good find, Tanya that is.

Don't know the next one but managed to get tickets to Rammstein 28.5.2023 on the Helsinki Olympic stadium. They are playing two concerts and 80 000 tickets sold out in two three hours.
Hell, this could be the next one. Missed them in Tallin this summer as Pearl Jam was on in Vienna at the same time but of course Pearl Jam got cancelled.
I attend gigs rarely as I have so many hobbies taking up my time.

Pre ordered. Will be interesting to compare to this:
-
OT: hear my train a comin’ could be my all time Hendrix live favourite. The Berkeley 1st show version being the best (found on Blues and on good quality bootlegs)
edit: pre ordered the LA 69 show. Let us see what they’ve done with that as I’ve had the show for 20 years or so. In general Hendrix family ”bootleg releases” have been quite truthful to the source. Oakland is a great example, ace!
-
Do you guys know Kingston Wall?
btw. how does one insert a youtube video here?
-
Comes a little late BUT the Hendrix family release did a disservice to the 10/11 2nd show by taking the slightly out of tune organ down in the mix. Bloody amazing the whole gig as is the afternoon show Are You Experienced jam with the flute. No one then and after (in rock) could step up and do an impromptu jam like that and deliver the goods.
Been more than 10 years since I gave the bootlegs a proper listen. Funny how I still started to remember the licks etc.

Trampled Underfoot and soon I’ll hit Moby Dick. I tend not to skip that. I quite like this Millard recording.
-
I'm gonna dig out this old Whoopy Cat Hendrix Winterland bootleg. I was listening to the Hendrix estate release yesterday. Now off to 1st night evening gig where Cassady appears on bass for two numbers
-
That Wendy one is pretty damn good but you are right. An Audio only RAH would be ace... unless it would turn out as they always do when Page gets his fingers on them, haha!

19.9. 1970 evening show

She has earned her place on the cover. Anyway, off to Maryland 25th 1977.

July 28th/73….. Benchmark “No Quarter” . The perfect version.
It is the JPJ playing that starts at roughly the 41 minute mark, which is the tone setter here. The notes he hits at 42.57 have the perfect timing and tone. One of those things that hit you in the gut you here them the first time. Definitely the most coherent 73 version I have heard.

Edit: just listened to the one from 27.3. 1975 for the second time. It does get points for effort 😁

NQ from 24th May EC as I was posting. Was just checking I still have the same opinion. I do.
-
WTF is going on? 😆

One day I will have this on and get somewhat hammered while watching. Amazing job based on short glimpses I've taken.

Holy thread revival, Batman!
I think they got it right 1975 with the right amount of "self-indulgent soloing" and setting the mood. By the end of 73 US tour they were getting the hang of setting the proper tone and mood around the piece and the key to that was JPJ-Bonham and JPJ Page interplay. Finding the ideas, tones, moods and timings. However, in 75 they really could deliver the right mood with the piece when they extended it.
Now, as for 75 I was long dependent on the EC 25th version and after that started to hear the US tour versions. However, when I heard EC 24th I thought this is it. What makes it for me in NQ is when JPJ starts his piano part, how he builds it up and a mini climax is reached when Bonham joins and they start to build that one up. On that 24th nigh JPJ's simple yet effective patterns make it very appealing for me. Yes, there are more jazzy and groovy, faster or slower jam sessions but this is the one, the part before Page joins in. It hooks me. Then Page joins but gently. Whatever happens after can only ruin it but he did not. He follows JPJ's and Bonham's ideas and continues to build up the tone and mood without any major bursts. Talking about them, the 21st June 77 version has really something in it with Bonham beating the shit out of the skins but when I consider to the whole piece that is when they are reeling me back in after "losing"me in the boogie section, which is a tad silly. It ain't bad but it feels a little disjointed.
Joints... that ist the thing with Zep live versions. They had a skeleton of a piece that they would work out every night. All parts had something in them and most nights they would be close to the mark with them and hit bull's eye with one or two parts. Like Dazed. So many parts, timings, ideas and riffs. Is there a version where they hit all of them. I doubt and I think we do not need one either. Studio is for that. Part of the attraction is to hear when they pick up on things on the spot.
Anyway, 24th EC flows the best for me and it makes it the most appealing version for me. If it is the best, I cannot say.
Do I make sense?
