jb126 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Not having given this too much thought, a few that I prefer studio are "Rock and Roll" for the guitar sound and "Battle of Evermore" for the singing, the intro, the beautiful guitar and mandolin sounds.

Stryder1978 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Heh....I noticed no one mentioned that they prefer the live version of "Battle of Evermore" with JPJ on vocals to the studio version with Sandy Denny.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well I agree with Achilles to loose a bit by having only one guitar live obviously. My personal live "dislike" is In The Evening though. I really like studio version and as far as I heard boots, I didnt like the synths JPJ used live. Said that, I vote LIVE. Anyway, Anytime. Thats what music is about. ...:::!!!LIVE LIVE LIVE!!!:::... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLee93 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Live. There are a FEW songs that I prefer the studio version, but overall, I definitely prefer live. It's just louder, more powerful, and much more energetic. I especially prefer Robert's voice live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2632 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Some songs are amazing live such as SIBLY, No Quarter, Thank You, Rain Song... I think the quiet studio songs all turned out great live! But Whole Lotta Love is always best in studio, though I love the melody with it on some boots.

The Dark Lord Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Although the live stuff is fun and innovative, especially songs like No Quarter and Dazed and Confused, if I could only choose one or the other, it would definitely be the studio material. I like the polish and layering of these tracks. There is a sloppiness that intermittently plagued the Zep live material. They were a great live band irrespective, but the studio material is what I like best. And as much as I adore In Through the Out Door, there were some very annoying things going on in the later live shows, such as synths that were too bold and bright, and vocal harmonizers that detracted from the performances. Certain live songs have always been amazing, but overall, the studio material was better IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugra Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Studio versions are great, but live ones brought out the best in all the band members. Especially jimmy, be it that legendary 26 min version of D&C or the sibly solo on HTWWW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyGirl Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Split down the middle. It's the best of both worlds.Ok maybe I'll put my big toe on the live side if there'svideo footage of the band playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
