[Pontiac Silverdome Footage]

Does jimmy have the rights to anything led zeppelin? Meaning could he release anything he wanted in the vaults, or would he need robert and jpj to sign off on it also? Im surprised jimmy wouldnt release more stuff from the archives, he seems so proud of led zep and their legacy and doesnt shy away from talking about it, unlike mr plant. So maybe robert is holding jimmy back on releasing stuff, if thats the case, not sure.

Note sure on the first part but I would guess Page has more rights than anyone.

But the 2nd part I think you are wrong on. I think Jimmy is highly concerned with keeping the legacy of Led Zeppelin / Jimmy Page intact and he feels officially releasing any live material that is not Zeppelin at their best could hurt that. Those of use that collect bootlegs know the real story but the general fans who only have official material have a different opinion. Same can be said about how he feels about books that shed some negative light (really just light in general) on the band.

My wish is that he should realize the amount of joy he could possibly bring to fans like us by releasing high demand stuff. Even if he doesn't want to do it officially then put it in the hands of someone who can remaster and release it to the internet (for free). I'm surprise he has not seen a market opportunity in selling live shows online like most jam bands these days do.

9/23/71

Thanks for that one, just listened now. Professionally recorded had its advantages and this is very much a factor in my decision on TSRTS. I really do consider that version perfect guitar wise though too.

[Favorite/Best version of Since I've Been Loving You]

- TSRTS or any 73 version close to that

- HTWWW

- 1970-09-04 Blueberry Hill, the change of lyrics and screams robert does gives me chills every time

- 1977-06-21 / 23

[Favorite Whole Lotta Love Medley or covers]

My favorite is when they play 'For What It's Worth' on the BBC version. Of course, that's one of things Jimmy left out when he released the official version.

They do that in the middle of Communication Breakdown jam at Blueberry hill as well, probably my fav version of that song.

[Current music recommendations]

[Led Zeppelin: That's Alright New York 2-12-75]

Yeah the Bluecongo Matrix sounds better than Flying Circus. Higher quality version of one of the highest quality recordings isnt near the top of my list of LZ Bootleg wants.

(A soundboard of Seattle 75 would be)

Any yeah, overall St Louis Blues and Days Confused definitely have the best sound (good sound balance) from the 75 board shows.
