I was listening to 1977.06.07 (Magical Sound Boogie) earlier.

Only an amateur would confuse them for the same song.
Or "journalists" with nothing better to report on.
-
They simply cannot fight over this -- it's a stock chord progression that has been in use for centuries.
Spirit will have to sue the Hendrix estate as well for it's use in "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)," and then Graham's estate will sue them all. It's absolutely ludicrous.
I joked recently that, just to **** with these jokers, they should add "Graham" in as a credit to "Stairway." If anyone outside the band deserves it, it's that man.

Have to get my copy of GTA IV back and replay that and the newest entry -- both amazing games, really, with perfect soundtracks.

Some of my all-time favourite music has been from videogames. I've been playing games since the early-90s, and the music -- from consoles as early as the Sega Master System and the SNES through to the current generation -- has always been a huge part of my enjoyment. Top of the list is Jeremy Soule, followed by Marty O'Donnell, and then anything put out under the Rockstar name.

The representatives have officially declared war on Led Zeppelin -- the suit has been filed.
I have this to say: F*ck Spirit.

Stunning remastering job, as I've said elsewhere. The "companion" audio for III is really where, for me, these remasters get very interesting: Alternate mixes of "Immigrant Song" and "Celebration Day," an instrumental backing track for "Friends," an official release of "Jennings Farm Blues," that alternate take of "Since I've Been Loving You"...this deluxe edition is a revelation on a few different levels.
Like with II, I feel as though I have a greater appreciation not only for what they were eventually able to mix together and release, but also for the incredible musicianship and real harmony that those four men had together. I'll cherish these glimpses into the behind-the-scenes for a long time to come, and can't wait for the other albums.

Happy (Belated) Birthday, Bonzo!
Thirty-four years gone -- or nearly so. It's absolutely mental to think that someone I never met, and who died several years before I was born, could have had such an impact on my life.

1971.09.14, from dadgad's vinyl rip
-
Speculation in terms of the date. Everything else -- recording quality, guitar tone, even song choice -- suggests 1973 over 1975.
I mean, listen to "The Wanton Song"...it's clearly embryonic. They had performed the final version of the song on the first legs of the 1975 tour.
-
The date is conjecture, but it is definitely during 1973. Listen to the guitar tone, and the quality of the recording...it's practically identical to the SBDs from that year.
They were beginning work on Physical Graffiti during that year -- the backing track for "Kashmir" dates to 1973.
-
With the release of the new remastered sets almost 2 months away, I instituted a Zeppelin moratorium beginning last week on April 3. No Led Zeppelin in any shape or form...no live stuff as well as none of the official releases.
Excellent exercise of willpower, as you said...if only I was so strong.
I plan on listening to the Ottawa 1970.04.14 show today, if possible. 44 years gone!
-
Thanks! I'm not the swiftest when it comes to those things.
No problem! Every site/forum is different, so I wouldn't worry about it.
-
I just saw a Dior Homme fragrance commercial last night...Whole Lotta Love was playing in the background. Very random!
Dangit...I can't figure out how to put the youtube link up. It's been such a long time since I've been on here! LOL
Simply posting the link should work.
-
Thanks to an awesome collector, I've been able to hear a few of the shows from this set...I'm blown away by the sonic quality/dynamic range.
-
27th. I'd bet it was the best, hands down.
Go for the 27th, and you miss out on most of what everyone loved about the original album (TSRTS) version of "No Quarter." Skip the 29th, and you miss out on one of the group's best performances of "Thank You."
All three nights, irrespective of what we armchair critics may say today, were awesome. Personally, I prefer the second night -- the 28th -- overall...although part of that is definitely down to familiarity.
-
Probably the BBC-recorded version (June 27th, 1969).
-
Interested in your review. BootLedz put up reviews of each of the discs...from his analysis, it seems like a few of them are really good -- possibly upgrades -- and others are shoddy edits.
-
Sounds...kind of racist, and I don't think it's that. I think the first few people got bum discs -- might as well rectify the situation while possible, no?
-
I love the Sydney show. It has it all..."The Rover" is a delight to listen to.
I know that EVSD did have some issues with the discs, so some people might not have received their sets as quickly as others did.
-
The Mike Millard recording is the only circulating source out there. The master and 1st generation copies are near complete at around 211-212 minutes...roughly 3 hours and 32 minutes. The only cuts in the tape seem to be in between the songs so no music is lost. Look for the Winston Remasters version of this show...that seems to be the general consensus of what the best quality is available of the Millard tapes.
I think the "best" versions of the show are held to be the JEMS 1st gen transfer from 2010 or else the recent Master > VHS transfer from Winston/ZepPhan.
-
I feel like the 1977 renditions of "Kashmir" lost something -- I've always been much more appreciative of the 1975 versions. Any number of those would be my candidate for "best," with the O2 performance coming in second.
-
It's almost obvious what's going to be on the DVD:
Almost obvious.
Give Black Chuckles [?] and co. some credit!

A few years back I was looking through the USED Zep CDs at my local record shop (at the time all had was Zep II and a copy of Early-Later Days I borrowed from a friend) so I was picking through what I knew which wasn't much, but my favorite song was Thank You and I had recently discovered the song live at MSG 73'. I saw this weird looking live album titled 'Communication Breakdown' featuring: Communication Breakdown, I Can't Quit You Babe, Whole Lotta Love (Medley), What Is And What Should Never Be, Thank You, Going To California, Out On The Tiles, Moby Dick for $9 so I bought it and was blown away by all the songs! Until I purchased BCC Sessions and I Can't Quit You Babe is the same as the 2nd version on BCC, Thank You was the same as BCC, but the other songs are completely different so it's kind of like having an extended BCC Sessions which the songs were recorded within days of it! Overall I looked up the bootleg and found it online for $170!!!!!
Does it have any information which might pinpoint where it came from, or who put it out? Don't take internet prices as set in stone -- they can be a bit inflated.

On my phone -- what was this "definitive proof"? There WAS "borrowing," but it was from a Davey Graham instrumental, not from anything by Spirit.
