Dazed and Confused right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Dazed and Confused right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

It's the Royal Albert Hall version from the Led Zeppelin DVD.

The stream is laggy as hell.

[Strider]

The host finally announces "Ladies and gentlemen...Jimmy Page!" Jimmy's wearing a black suit and vest and white shirt with black scarf. Hair tied back in a ponytail. He spoke a little french. Jimmy speaks and then the emcee translates in French. Jimmy mentions the band playing there in 1969 and how young and raw they were. He says they will start with two tracks from the 1969 Paris L'Olympia show.

[Strider]

Talking is over and they have walked off stage...time to hear the music.

First selection is GTBT/CB from Paris 69.

What fun! Here's a screen shot photo.

[Strider]

You Shook Me from Paris 69 is next. As for visuals, it's a collage of the covers and negative covers of the first three albums.

You Shook Me on now; Strider beat me to it, lOL!

[Strider]

You Shook Me just faded out and now it's a rough mix w/ vocal of Heartbreaker...one of the alternate tracks on Led Zeppelin II's bonus disc. The bass sounds much more prominent on this mix.

Guitar solo sounds different...slightly more dry, less echo and reverb.

No weird noise after the solo and before the return of the last verse.

Whole Lotta Love

[Strider]

Whole Lotta Love rough mix w/ vocal is next.

Plant's words slightly different and there's no chorus of "wanna whole lotta love".

The instrumental break is bare, which allows you to hear Bonzo's cymbal work very clearly. Some theremin noises here and there but you can tell it is still in the early stages. Ghost vocals of Plant all over the place give it a cool vibe.

No guitar solo after the weird instro break...just the rhythm tracks.

Is that Bonzo I hear growling in there? Haha.

[ledastray]

This middle of WLL is very different. Cool!

[Strider]

Gallows Pole rough mix.

Single guitar...no 12-string and no banjo...Jonesy's bass very clear.

[TheStairwayRemainsTheSame]

This Gallows Pole sounds much much better. Always thought the released version's production was shoddy but this is terrific.

[Strider]

Watching it on youtube and some of the comments are idiotic. Who are these people?

Errrr, it's different but "much better"? I miss the banjo and 12-string and the electric guitar solo.

I couldn't stop laughing before when it was buffering at the comments

[Strider]

SIBLY!!!!! Rough mix of FIRST RECORDING!

Much better as in the sound quality.

I'm having an eargasm....WOW!!!!!!

[TheStairwayRemainsTheSame]

Jesus this solo

[Strider]

Plant's voice sounds great...kind of earthy and I dig the different lyrics and accents he gives.
