Favorite version of Whole Lotta Love

An underrated one is the 9/10/72 in Osaka, quite unique with most up tempo rockabilly stuff in it.

Generally though I think mid/late 71 was really the peak for the extended medley versions were they hit the kind of level they had reached with HMMT in 1970. Some good Japanese and US ones mentioned but also some from the UK winter tour, 25/11/71 in Leicester is superb IMHO and the best version of Going Down they ever did.

The Euro 73 versions are great as well, obviously less spontaneous in terms of what they include but incredibly energetic.

Sorry never liked it live ...however, Earls Court I liked a bit cause it’s slowed down and lumbering like, which makes it heavy handed..which it should be. All others sound hollow to me.
