9/24/71 Tokyo

its instrumentally as good as 9/23, but Plant’s a bit better

3/21/1970 Vancouver . . Percy screaming tortured soulful. . truly amazing. .  

Along with 09-23-71 Tokyo, yes. Vancouver's initially didn't hit me, but its grown on me and now I recognize the truth of it.

Since not much love for later shows, I will toss this out there: 7-24-79

I really like this version, everyone is on point and Jones piano sounds great. In fact, I think I prefer the piano to the organ for this song.

Re: 7-24-79, you're right about the piano, it's really nice.

For me, problem is that it's such a treble-y recording. For that reason, I couldn't even give the whole thing a listen. Maybe your version is more balanced sonically.

+1 to Vancouver 3-21-70. I can't believe I forgot to add it to my own list. I've had that boot since the 80s but haven't listened to it in years. Gave it a listen this morning for the first time in like 30 years. It was like reconnecting with an old friend. Robert's vocals sound so truthful and emotional. Like he really means it and is feeling it. Killer, killer version.

I usually listen to the LedZepelinBoots upload on YouTube...sounds pretty good to me once you balance the mix a bit.

No that is a good source. I don't know what the source is that I have. Will check that out, thanks.

That's a pretty good list. Honolulu 1970 is, perhaps, Plant's best vocal ever.

Thanks CL! And that is some high praise for Honolulu! Hard to argue with it, Plant in 1970 was just unstoppable.

6-25-77 stands with any version/any year. Recommended for anyone who thinks nothing worthwhile happened after '75.
