Bonzo_fan Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 June 19, 1972 - Seattle -- One of their very best shows ever--I'd say it's in the top 5, along with 9/19/70 (Evening), 9/29/71, and some other two. Features the debuts of "The Ocean" (only time it wasn't an encore song), "Black Country Woman" (the only full-length live performance of it, and the only non-'77 performance), "Dancing Days" (twice) and "Over The Hills And Far Away" (only time as an encore). Jones' organ solo includes "Amazing Grace" and "Everyday People," before the rest of the band join in for "Louie Louie" and "Let's Dance," then finally into "Thank You". The three epics are all long and great, even with the cuts in the tape during each; "Dazed And Confused" (28 min, maybe 1-2 min cut) features some really unique bits that I haven't heard in other versions, "Moby Dick" (20 min, could be as much as 5+ min cut, who knows) is excellent, and "Whole Lotta Love" (26.5 min, probably 2.5 min cut) features what I'm pretty sure is the only time they covered "Only The Lonely," as well as the occasionally played "Heartbreak Hotel," in addition to the usual suspects for the U.S. '72 medleys. The short songs are all performed fantastically as well. One of the best acoustic sets of all time as well, right up there with 9/29/71 & 6/27/77. For those who don't have it, setlist: 1. Immigrant Song 2. Heartbreaker 3. Black Dog 4. The Ocean* 5. Since I've Been Loving You 6. Stairway To Heaven 7. Going To California 8. Black Country Woman* 9. That's The Way 10. Tangerine 11. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp 12. Dazed And Confused 13. What Is And What Should Never Be 14. Dancing Days* 15. Moby Dick 16. Whole Lotta Love (incl. Boogie Chillen, Let's Have A Party, Hello Mary Lou, Only The Lonely, Heartbreak Hotel & Goin' Down Slow) 17. Rock And Roll 18. Organ Solo (incl. Amazing Grace, Everyday People, Louie Louie & Let's Dance) 19. Thank You 20. Money (That's What I Want) 21. Over The Hills And Far Away* 22. Dancing Days * = live debut Setlist: 10/10 Performance: 10/10 Sound Quality: 5/10 (am I being too generous?) It's a terrible shame that this is the only recording we have of such an unbelievable, all-time great show. I wouldn't usually bother with sound quality like this, but this performance is way too good to let sound quality stand in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 41 Years Gone. Most exciting OTHAFA solo ever. Jimmy blasts off and extends it into outer space further than any other version I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, both are great! I actually noticed some really cool stuff Bonham does during the intro for the first time today; haven't heard him do it on any other versions.

Sorry, I just don't understand why people enjoy '77. Yeah, I forget that is from the Dragon Snake, a much mixed reaction '77 show, if not at the top. In any event, I just love it, especially Bonham.... 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordev1977 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I'm not usually a fan of what Robert does with Zeppelin songs but this is actually pretty good, I'm amazed by how well Robert sings for his age too bad he couldn't do an acoustic show for the 50th.

Sorry, I just don't understand why people enjoy '77. I don't understand why you call yourself a zeppelin fan. They played many brilliant shows in '77. If you judge the tour by mediocre performances, that's your problem. The LA performances and some others were better than those of the '75 tour.

chef free Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Listened to the entire 6/23/77 show last night, alone, in total darkness, at volume, with no breaks or interruptions! EPIC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll have to find some way to carry on, without you thinking I'm a Zep fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Moon Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Burn Like A Candle on Graf Zeppelin Full show, dimmed lights & smoking requisites at hand- by the time I reach Louie Louie, I will be pretty tall. That is what I call a remedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
