What show or live song are you listening to now?

Achilles starts at 1:35:45

I just reminded myself why I hate the ALS from the second night at Knebworth. It leaves me begging for Tempe '77.

Oh Sue, you're killing me. I'll admit to two things first:

  • I LOVE ALS, no matter what: live, on Presence, and soon to be companion version next week. Probably, if pressed, my all time favorite Zep tune. But with me, that changes daily, but is always in my top 2-3 consistently
  • I have bootleg Zep ears over the years, so I'll admit, I'll tolerate just about any live version of any Zep song

That said, I just listened to this version twice, once listening, and once watching visuals, to see any distress in the band's performance. I could see easily nitpick certain points of ALS, but certain points sound fantastic too. Where I see distress is the Ahhs towards the end, which when listening, makes me think Jimmy busted a string (which seems to be in evidence at the song's end that Jimmy finishes). You can see Robert wincing too during the Ahhs.

What are your pain points in this version? I respect your opinion, so want to know your thoughts on this.

I'll take this version over the 7/20/77 version, and would have easily welcomed this version at the 6/26/80 and 7/7/80 shows.

Does everyone know about this version? Surprised it doesn't get more attention, sound quality isn't bad at all, about a 6.5-7/10, about the same as 9/19/70 IMO.

Is it just me ears or does Jimmy, at the 5 min mark, play the riff for what would later become Greg Kihn's Jeopardy???

Kind of sort of...good spot.

Now listening to July 27, 1973 Madison Square Garden, NYC. The tape is incomplete, of course. I mean, it's only the first night of a 3-night stand at the prestigious Madison Square Garden. No need to get to the concert on time, you fucking New York knuckleheads. To top it all off, even the soundboard is incomplete...not starting until the end of "Dazed and Confused". Just another "WTF?" moment.
