Belgium Rainbow Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I initially ask you to agree to excuse my basic knowledge of the English language. I wish to constitute gradually a small collection of live performances. I thus read and read again your various messages (thank you) this is my short collection - 31/08/1969 Texas Blues Godfatherecords - 04/09/1970 Live on Blueberry Hill Empress Valley 2+2 cd - 22/01/1973 Any Port in a Storm Godfatherecords - 16/03/1973 Remains the Holy Cashmere - 21/06/1977 LTTE Scorpio All the performances are must have. But if I have to make a personal choice, here are the two ones - Texas Blues a kind of crazy bluesy meteorite - Remains the Holy the band in all is glorius with Page magic guitar. Thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJ = the groovinator Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 South Hampton is such a great one. The bring back of How many More Times is so righteous! It's the best quality out of those, but Blueberry Hill is so legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgium Rainbow Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Yes of course this one is without any doubt the best sounding and a great performance. In fact I'm very happy to have all the 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingzepp Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Southhampton is one of Zeps worse shows hands down. Yea the quality is excellent but the performance is lacking in every department. Blueberry hill is beyond obvious. Thank you for your contribution mr. rainbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgium Rainbow Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Thanks for your mail. I have not of course neither your knowledge nor your concrete experiment of zep's live performances. So what I say/write can be seen as "unusual" or nonsense for specialists. For me Live at Blueberry Hill and LTTE are kind of "Grand messe" a perfect symbiosis between the Group and his Fans and 2 great performances. But my prefered one is Vienna Remains of the Holy why ? - the track list is for me perfect (led Zep IV is for me the best one and I like a lot ,the songs from Houses of the Holy which are on these release) - each guitar note is a wonder and rhythm section fantastic as usual (R Plant is for me clearly a step behind) - as generally for European shows the experimental and solos parts are more concise more direct to essential (it's what I think and I can of course be totally wrong) - the sound : bad for R&R good for the rest of CD1 and very good for CD2 Southampton in the greatest and fantastic sounding but not a totally perfect show. Texas Blues is for me a bit apart from classic show but I like it very very wel. once again thank you for your councils Yves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
