  1. According to IMDB this 4-part series dates back to 2008. There were some clips from the Seattle'77 video, allegedly copyright "Superhype Music Inc" from the titles. See here (latter part of post) for company filing details of "Super Hype Music Company Inc". Same one? The Seattle video quality was nothing to write home about. Dave "Tight But Loose" Lewis is one of the interviewees so perhaps he can cast some light on this production. Over to you Dave...
  2. Knocked out of action by Pink Floyd (1987)'s legal team. See my previous post just above yours!
  3. Pink Floyd (1987) Ltd took similar action against "The owner and/or operator of pinkfloydbrand.com" on 6th June 2023. The visible bits on justia.com show that the case is very similar to the one launched against discjapan in that they both go on about counterfeit goods. The Floyd camp justified their injunction application against Discjapan because "An injunction serves the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit goods, and there is no countervailing harm to Defendant from an order directing them to stop infringement." The full 18 page complaint against pinkfloydbrand.com is available at archive.org. I would not be surprised if much of the language in that document is the same as in the discjapan document which is not available for free. It makes for an interesting read anyway.

  4. I don't think the intention was to use any of the soundboard recordings. The original news item at the start of this thread says "This new set consists of all known audience recordings available for each of five nights." I did find some images of the sleeve notes for 929 and it lists the sources as: Live In The Fairy Tale 1st gen. Lighthouse Master 2021. Nine Two Nine longer source 2nd gen. Nine Two Nine shorter source master transfer. For some reason I cannot link to the pictures or twitter post but you can find it here. You might need to cut and paste the link text in to your browser. https://twitter.com/yuminori0616/status/1575091405961064448 The above is based on finding a list of the titles used in the box set with 929 given as "The Barbarians And The Geisha". The shorter source master transfer is listed on the japanese notes but not on the english notes. It could well be that I am talking absolute rubbish here in which case please put me right and if possible let us know what it sounds like.
  5. Any update on what this release actually sounds like (he said hopefully...)?
  6. P.S. to my above post - I watched Eckoes' original last night for the first time in a while. Hugely enjoyed it too. I got as far as the end of Dazed after which I had to shut down for the night. The vast bulk of it is 16:9 already. The are some cuts to 4:3, particularly during "Song Remains The Same" and "Rain Song" where a different video source is used.
  7. Just spotted that there is a new version out of the Eckoes' fan-edit "In For A Quick Garden" called "In For A Quick Garden 2022 New Edition" from GentleGiant/Eckoes according to Black Beauty. The new version's aspect ratio is 16:9 rather than the original's 4:3. Just guessing that the 4:3 image has been cropped which must mean image loss? Does anyone know if Eckoes was involved with this new edition, or has GentleGiant just done his/her/its own edit of the Eckoes original? I would message Eckoes but seeing as that id was last active here in 2014 I suspect a reply would be unlikely! On another site (not a member of that one), in response to the question "what's the difference", gentle_giant posted "acpect (sic) ratio 16:9 in new, 4:3 in old, some video work made also, sound bitrate upscale".
  8. Hmm. I wonder if Mr Page has ever purchased a tape through an intermediary to stop it getting out... 🤔
  9. Ahhh! But we know for a fact that they have more of the Osaka 929 soundboard - they released the "Twist & Shout" section from "Whole Lotta Love" on that bonus Beatles tracks CD they put out in one of the 928 soundboard sets! Seems to me that by the time EVSD get around to putting out the rest of 929, there won't be anyone around to buy it. Methinks they are keeping it back for the 100th anniversary. Led Zeppelin? Who they?? 😁
  10. There is always the "In For A Quick Garden" (Eckoes (sic) Fan Edition) DVD if you can find it out there. From the DVD notes -
  11. If you haven't seen it already, here's the Youtube video where Jimmy Page goes to see Jimmy S. play at a club in Tokyo. Jimmy (Page) is clearly having a great time... Jimmy Page goes to see Jimmy S. Really sorry that I don't know how to embed the video. If anyone can advise for future reference, please do!
  12. Methinks there is a whole stack of baggage that goes with an official release. 1. It could only happen with the consent of all members (or estate). 2. All members (or estate) would have to sign off on the material to be released. 3. Copyright and royalty issues, e.g. Beatles material in the Osaka shows. Unlikely to survive the cut! (just my opinion). 4. Manufacturing (in multiple formats?), marketing, distribution, promotional costs and time. 5. How large is the projected market? Will it make the costs back? If you go for a streaming model (the rumoured "Led Zeppelin Experience") you still get hit by 1 - 3 above. The alternative is to unoffically let material surface in which case the issue is how to get it out. If the intention is to get stuff out unofficially for the hardcore fans, I reckon an official leaker would be able to make arrangements for it to be made available via the usual on-line boot distribution channels. The fact that EVSD is sitting on (at least parts of) the Whole Lotta Love soundboard from 929, as evidenced by Twist & Shout being included on the recent 928 release bonus cd, clearly shows that EVSD intends to squeeze as much as possible out of those able to pay the price (Yes, I appreciate that the material eventually surfaces on-line, and in more reasonably priced physical form). There again, is it just pure greed on EVSD's part, or to recover the cost paid for the tape? I would have thought it unlikely an official leaker would sell to a bootleg label. So... seems to me that (a) an official leaker could get stuff out for the fans without involving bootleg labels. (b) EVSD coughs up serious amounts of dosh to get hold of tapes from wherever and screws the living daylights out of those able to pay to recover the upfront cost and maximise profit.
  13. You can read a detailed review of the 3CD version over at Collectors Music Reviews. Worth a look!
  14. I have also been pondering over the previously escaped snippet of the 928 soundboard, Black Dog, which is in stereo. Why would the soundboard for 928 be in stereo and the soundboard for 929 be in mono given that they are consecutive nights using the same gear? What comes next is some amateur kite-flying so feel free to bring it crashing to earth. 😀 I *think* it was the Black Beauty BBS (in japanese translated into 'orrible english) where I read some time ago that back in the day the japanese record company had the idea of releasing a single (or singles) from the recorded Zeppelin concerts. Four songs were envisaged as possibilities, one being Black Dog. Could it be that the already out Black Dog is actually a mix from the multitrack recording and not from the soundboard? I am really sorry I cannot give a reference to the actual post I read but it would have been over a year ago, probably when all the talk was about the 929 soundboard. I thought it might be worth mentioning in this case because it might jog some memories somewhere.
  15. "special bonus disc featuring various rare live performances of Beatles songs from few different locations" Thinks... if that includes "Twist & Shout" from 929 and is from the unreleased soundboard portion (if it exists) then at least we know there is more to come. If not we continue to know what we don't know, or not know what we would like to!! It's late. Nurse, the screens...
