Jukkin Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Steve's phenomenal stereo remaster of 1971-09-29. As good as an official release and unscrewed around by Jimmy. 😄 A wonderful listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Moon Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yippee! Time to celebrate the anniversary of the epic Japan tour of 1971. Maybe Mr. Nightowl could use his talents to merge sources 2, 4, 5 & 7 for a perfect 923 matrix. Also, an SB of 923 would be gorgeous!!! Big time, and it starts like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm sure there are some anoraks that don't like the show. Every show I am listening to in John Bonham's honour today is from my Baker's Dozen list of best Led Zeppelin bootlegs. Next show up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you put May 23 as your second '75 show. I would take March 12, 19 & 20 ahead of it and May 18 is my favourite Earls Court show.

Maybe it's May 18 I was thinking of...I know I like May 18 and May 23 above the other Earls Court gigs. I put the Earls Court on my list because I love the "Tangerine" and acoustic sets included in the 1975 setlist. Gives more variety. If Mike Millard had recorded all of March 12 Long Beach or if a soundboard ever comes out, then I may revise my list and include March 12.

If Mike Millard had recorded all of March 12 Long Beach or if a soundboard ever comes out, then I may revise my list and include March 12. That makes sense. I'm a bit torn on the 23rd vs. 25th, but I think the 24th ranks fourth at best. It finishes really strong, but the first half is sluggish. Never understood the "No Quarter" from the 24th being cited as a potential best-ever version either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to listening to the unadulterated master. It is amazingly clear for Youtube. I wish there were FLACs available.
