Northstar Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just finished watching the last night of the 1975 Earl's Court concert. I really enjoy the Earl's Court string of concerts. Northstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (Replying to Strider also) SQ-wise, not too bad, if a somewhat overloaded throughout. An average 77 AUD, I'd say. Performance-wise: I generally judge 77 shows by ALS, although I'd already formed my opinion long before ALS with this one. ALS here is a shocker, quite appalling really. But there were plenty of other wretched aspects before then. JP seemed out of tune for the first 3 songs, then he was all over the place in IMTOD. Bonzo too was really sloppy and slow in places as well. Things picked up a bit from NQ through the acoustic set, but TYG was pretty dire, then ALS was crap, as was the STH solo. JP hit more bum notes in this show than any I've heard before this point. RP's not his usual talkative self here between songs, it's almost as if he's shaking his head in disbelief at how bad JP & Bonzo are. To cap it all, after ALS, he says something like, 'Uh, that was a song from Presence, called Achilles Last Stand' - as if to say it was so shit, even he couldn't recognise it. Still, it could've been worse. It could've been a SBD. Thanks for the warning...looks like I won't be needing that show. I'm not such a completist that I have to have every show, including shows I probably wouldn't ever listen to more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northstar Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 This afternoon while working in my office I listened to the Jan 27 1973 Dundee, Scotland soundboard. I had not listened to this in a long long time, it was really great to hear it again. Northstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) November 16, 1971 @ St. Mathew's Baths, Ipswich, England; TDOLZ Vol. 57 A concert I've never heard in my life...just picked this one up over the weekend. "Since I've Been Loving You" is playing now. It's an audience tape with strange drop outs and tape stretches at times...sound quality is only fair. But so far the performance is typical 1971 high-quality standards. Edited February 8, 2012 by Strider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I just finished listening to the first disc of the June 28th 1970 Bath concert. Good show so far, interesting to hear the early arrangements/lyrics of the new songs. Kind of gutsy to open with the Immigrant Song when the lyrics were not quite set in stone yet. Northstar.

Strider Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Just finished disc 2 of 11.16.71 Ipswich. It's a shame the taper ran out of tape before the end of the Whole Lotta Love medley...and the audience is one of those typical lifeless, ultra polite-clapping English ones of the period. But, as usual, one of the highlights for me is Celebration Day. 1971 Celebration Days are a wonder to listen to. The combination of the hopped up rhythm Jones and Bonzo unleash and the trance-like effect Jimmy's playing the song on his doubleneck has makes the 1971 versions of CD devastating.

walter's walker Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 "Thank You" Southampton 22.01.1973. Really great sound! That's one of prettiest versions of "Thank You" that they ever did, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter's walker Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Playing right now: Bath 1970. First time I've played this in almost a year. I'm not sure if Plant's uncertain of the lyrics to "Immigrant Song," just suffering from stage fright, or a combination of the two. Awful sound. This was considered an *upgrade*? Pheweeee! The first source must have really stinked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 My name is Strider, veteran of the Badgeholder shows at the Forum, and I approve of this choice of concerts. By the way, Kiwi, that's me in the crowd screaming his head off...no, not THAT guy. I'm one of the other 18,000 screaming. Listening to the June 21st 1977 show again today and thinking of you, sir!

Northstar Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Finished the second disc of the June 28, 1970 Bath show. Thats the second time now that I have listened to the Bath show and I really think its a good performance. Also had time to listen to the soundboard fragment from the Bradford St George's Hall show, January 18th, 1973....some real nice tight playing for sure. Northstar.

S. Flavius Mercurius Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I've been sticking with some of the Europe 1973 stuff lately...Hamburg 3/21/73 is just incredible!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) OK, being rather new to experiencing Zep live and everything, this question struck me while listening to "The Battle of Evermore" from the Forum show (21st June, 1977). I am curious to know who was doing the back up vocals for "The Battle of Evermore" at that show. I know that as far as the studio version is concerned, this song is a duet between Robert Plant and Sandy Denny. This question may seem a bit silly to some, but then again, I am rather new as far as experiencing Zep as a live band, is concerned. A response will be much appreciated! Thanks!

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 6/21/77 Inglewood LA Forum arrived today. I had never heard it. I'm now in the middle. All I can say is that it lives up to the hype I'd heard about. Wow! No Quarter has been my highlight thus far. Robert is amazing on Black Country Woman! I like at the start of the acoustic set when he motions Bonzo to the front of the stage and calls him "Rhinestone Cowgirl." Classic stuff right there! It's probably old hat to you guys, but this is my first time hearing it. Your post pretty much summed up exactly what I was experiencing all this time while listening to the Inglewood Forum Show today! It's like something I've never experienced before! Man! I really really love this show!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be John Paul Jones doing backup vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
