U2, Sheffield 2009 FM broadcast. A beautiful show that really rocks.

21 June 1977. Never got into the 1977 tour, either had indifferent recordings of good gigs or good recordings of indifferent gigs.
Now got a proper recording and I can hear why people would prefer this to any soundboard of the gig.
If a good SBD ever does surface this would make the mother of all matrixes.

Attended U2's LA Forum show last night. Bono had this to say about Dennis Sheehan (and Led Zeppelin);
Bono's crack about 'not being able to fill Robert Plant's pants' got a big laugh from the Forum crowd.
The article doesn't mention that Bono also said; 'I think in the beginning of our career we were trying to fill the void left by Led Zeppelin, but, of course, we couldn't do that.'
All the best to you, Dennis Sheehan.

Whole Lotta Love - Offenburg 24.3.73. Holy shit, I thought the TSRTS version was definitive until I heard this!
-
STH 14.2 75. Glorious version.

Whole Lotta Love 7/7/80. Kind of industrial-boogie-space-rock.

I'm getting ready for my May 24 1975 Earl's Court 40th Anniversary BBQ and Beer Fest! A few fellow Zep fans from the "old daze" are coming by to relive our teen years by eating, drinking and smoking our way to the correct state of mind to enjoy the famous DVD. I have a projector set up in the garage with a movie screen between some 5 1/2 foot tall 70's vintage speakers. Plenty of ice cold Henry Weinhard's beer, our drink of choice in the '70s and my "gateway" brew on the road to beer snobism, and of course a bottle of Jack Daniels. I've got my famous BBQ sauce cooking on the stove and two racks of pork ribs and a tri tip in the smoker. I really do wish so many of you could be here too!
Havin' it large! Enjoy!

Heartbreaker - Florida 8-31-1971. Absolutely smokin' jamming after Jimmy's solo section with an incredible bass riff from Jonesy. Oh, if this had been multitracked! At least we have a listenable sbd though.

Paul Rodgers' solo album Cut Loose is also worth revisiting. It features many songs later performed with The Firm.
Thanks Steve, will check this out. The wonders of Spotify!

Re-visited the two Firm albums again recently after many years. Must say I was very surprised to find they are a lot better than I remember them. Nothing at all adventurous, but two sets of mostly good strong, well-executed and recorded songs that are still very listenable 30 years after the fact. Just enough 80s production values in there to make them a little nostalgic, but not so much that they sound like dated 80s rock. To my ears Franklin's frettless bass sounds great, and , of course, Jimmy never ceases to please and occasionaly astonish with his turns of phrase.
Plenty of treasure in the two albums, radio shows, vidz and boots we have from The Firm.

Page and Plant 30.3.98 Paris. The best thing I've downloaded for quite a while. An intense and inspired performance from beginning to end, and very nicely recorded in FM stereo. Super-pleased with this. Can recommend highly.

Heartbreaker BBC sessions cd2. The jam at the end of this number is insanely tight. A joy to hear the band this well recorded.
