tom kid Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 My god. I just got the Winston version of this show, listening to Dazed at the moment. It's phenomenal. This tour is awesome, but I only have this and Essen. Need to start digging deeper. What would you guys say is the next best show to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenman Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 All the soundboard fragments are pretty much essential plus I'd recommend the audience recordings from the 17th and the 24th of March, the latter is IMHO Page's greatest ever performance.

3hrsoflunacy Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hamburg 1973.03.21 is one to get! Look for the second audience sourced merged with the SBD fragment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EzyEric Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Haha people cant seem to agree. Ive finally come around to listening to these shows in full, Im only up to Hamburg. The WLL's have been off the hook, especially drums and guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlennon696 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The intro to Heartbreaker at Vienna is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc1973 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Tom, have you heard any more of this tour since you started this thread? It's awesome to listen to Dazed & Confused from each of these shows to see the pure hotness of the jamming each night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 The Hamburg show I have is only the soundboard fragments too. Dazed is amazing, especially Jimmy and Bonzo. Never heard Bonzo that good...EVER! Amazing versions of You're So Square and Let's Have A Party (which never seems to end). ALso on this tour are as others mentioned and are some other faves from this tour: Southampton, Vienna and Offenburg. I have Essen as well but I think it's not quite as good as the others, but still a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc1973 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 They're really considered 2 different tours: UK from Nov 72-Jan 73, then "Europe" in March 73 (basically Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and France). From the UK tour, I like the 1/15/73 show at Trentham Gardens in Stoke. Great soundboard tape and a really good show. 1/14 Liverpool is also a good soundboard tape.

I agree that they're two different tours as far as locales and performance wise. The band is much more on in Western Europe vs the UK. Stoke is definitely a good one from the UK tour. I'd say my fave from the tour. I do like Southampton a lot too, but it's not as good of a performance as Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Southampton a lot too, but it's not as good of a performance as Stoke. Stoke was the first boot I ever got, in 1991. There was a local record store that sold boot cd's, but they were too expensive for me, having just graduated from high school. So they offered to record the boot onto a cassette for me, for $10 I think. Listened to that tape a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tapes were about $8-$10, while the cds were really expensive around $25 each. I did get quite a few cds. Spent a lot of money on them, because I wanted them badly. But if I didn't like the sound quality, they'd let me return them. They knew me so it wasn't a problem. I could have just taped the cds, but I wanted most on cd. I don't regret it at all. Then came the pc age and now I just download these for free. I didn't know of any swap meets or trade shows so I had to buy these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsj Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 it's a fantsastic show and a great tour. i think it only a shame that no quarter wasn't included in the set as the solo could have been great with the way jimmy was playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef free Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Offenburg. No question. TOTAL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 To me Offenburg is the best of Europe '73, being complete and a good aud. Unfortunately, Hamburg is a soundboard but incomplete and is why it isn't tops on my list. But Dazed and You're So Square(the best ever of this) are great from Hamburg.

Never heard them do anything like that on Dazed. What was with Bonham that night? Just amazing the stuff he does along with Page in unison, during Dazed.

EzyEric Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Just listened to Hamburg for 2nd time ever. The 2nd half is just insane. Page is non stop on his game soloing while Bonzo is just going off on the drums and all the dynamic aspects. Just crazy good Zeppelin. This reminds me why they are the best ever, no question.

Yeah, it doesn't get more fierce than that. They were just savage on that tour, and that show especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which version of Offenburg is the best? I have "A Little Bit Warm" and the sound quality is lacking. I like "Danke Vienna" a lot better. If there's a better version of Offenburg, let me know. Right now I'm listening to D&C from "Live In Moon Chin". It sounds great on my computer speakers! But so far, my favorite from this tour is Danke Vienna. D&C blows me away everytime - even with the changes in SQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Essen is a great show as well. The gigs on this part of the European tour are pretty unbelievable. The shows just prior to this in the UK were mixed with some really good ones and some not so. Although, at the end of the European tour the band is a bit off. Especially at the Paris shows.
