Check this out, I found something odd to add as well $179.98 for 8 CD Set - March 23 2018 >> 8 CD ?? $124.98 > 4 Vinyl $24.98 > 1 Blu-Ray Audio. All this Information Disappears !!!!! After you click and read the 8 CD Info and then Click on Vinyl and read that information; then Click Blu-Ray, all the Price and Quanity Information Disappears !! After you click on the Blu-Ray all the CD price changes to $24.98 for 3 CD - March 2018 What's up with the 3 CD vs 8 CD What a waste of money. I will still listen to Genuine Masters release of Burn Like A Candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyCorlett Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I am putting on an event to celebrate 50 years of led Zeppelin. This is not an official Led Zeppelin event but a Led Zep fan's own celebration of the greatest band in the world! Listen to Led Zep I and II on a top of the range Hi-Fi system, in the comfort of a room set up for listening purposes. All Led Zep fans are welcome. This is a non-profit event and is created to make people aware of a new great record shop and a Hi-Fi company set up by enthusiasts. Both albums have a link to the area, being Olympic Studios, Barnes down the road from our venue, The Treehouse. Infact Jimmy, Percy, John and John might have had a sneaky quiet pint when it was a pub in the sixties, while they working on the albums.

A good idea there man but it would take more, a lot more, than listening to 2 albums for me to go down to the shit hole that is London. In fact even if there was a personal appearance by Page himself I would have to decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-ocean87 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 This is a huge disappointment. Nobody needs a remastered HTWWW. Only a remixed version would be welcomed (from my side). No Bonus tracks? WTF really. This is only $$$-making at its best. I fear this was the "Mastering" that John Davis mentioned. The Japan 1971 tapes seem unlikely to be relased. I read about them again in "The Concert File" and Grant said the quality was too bad. Robert said the same about the sound. They only recorded 6 tracks which is a bit few for a good sound quality. Assuming vocals, bass, melotron, guitar each have one track, only two tracks remain for the drums. It is almost impossible to get a good sound with only two drum tracks, at least for Jimmy's liking. I'm sure most fans here would welcome even a not-so-good-sounding release as long as we get something NEW at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a Three track recording. The Drums on Led Zeppelin II (for example) are ALL on only two tracks. It's far from impossible to get a good drum sound with only two tracks, in fact some of the best ever recorded drum sounds have used only two tracks. It all depends on HOW they were recorded.

I forgot the mandoline and acoustic guitar. So I assume all drum mics were mixed together in one recorded track? Say they had 8 drum mics, but on record it is only 1 track? Assuming that is the case, you can't do any post-mixing on the drums and we'd get the drum mix of that evening. Since they said the recordings sound awful I guess there was a problem with this recording. We don't know what the condition of the tapes is and what the seperate tracks contain.

Mook Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) The 1971 Black Dog from Japan that Steve posted up on here a few days back sounded great (although it was only a YouTube clip). The gossip I'm reading would suggest we're getting 1968 stuff this year rather than a Japan release however.

Since they said the recordings sound awful I guess there was a problem with this recording. We don't know what the condition of the tapes is and what the seperate tracks contain. Mic-ing every piece of a drumkit in the studio didn't really start happening until the late '70's. The early recordings would have had 3/4 mics max - this is why the room that the drums were recorded in was absolutely essential to the sound. The 3/4 mics would have been mixed in the studio (and processed by a series of compressors/limiters) to get the required sound, and sent to either 1 track (mono) or 2 tracks (possibly stereo, or to give you a little bit of room to play about with balance in mono). The Drum sound in Levee, for example, relies heavily on one single microphone dangling above a well tuned, brilliantly played drum kit in an obviously fabulous sounding room, and stuck through a great sounding compressor/limiter. This article gives a brief overview of some of these techniques which were made popular by Glyn Johns and still get used today with great results:https://www.recordingrevolution.com/the-glyn-johns-drum-recording-method/ As I said before, it's not the number of mics, or tracks, that determine the drum sound. It's how they're played and recorded - or in the case of Japan, premixed - before they get to tape. With some of the post-processing available today a great deal can still be done with a less-than-optimal pre-mix - again I point you at the Beatles Hollywood Bowl recordings, which George Martin thought were pretty much unusable back in 1964/5. If the Japan tapes were recorded too hot and distorted, then very much less can be done with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the audio to 1970 RAH on the DVD sounds better, more raw and alive, than the audio to "How the West Was Won". Speaking of 50th Anniversaries, Ian Anderson announced a Jethro Tull 50th Anniversary Tour, which hits the Greek Theatre in L.A. in May.

Not much of a Tull fan but when I was in high school I liked them and got a few of their LPs which I enjoyed at the time. They don't do much for me now. Always remember John Paul Jones' comments about the band as I think he found the band and possibly Ian Anderson to be very pretentious. I think he referred to them as "Jethro Dull" and insinuating a concert of theirs as "Bore 'em at The Forum." To me it sums it up and JPJ was always spot on for his insight and British sarcasm and humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was also around the time (1972-73) there was a bit of back-and-forth between the bands about who drew better at the Forum, as they both played the venue within weeks of each other.

They were one of the rarest of bands who actually shared the same bill as Zeppelin. When asked about any of the wild tales of our heroes he probably said "never saw any of it as I was in bed with a hot drink by 10" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellyGirl Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) What are these high profile events Page is talking about? Where would these events take place? I'm guessing home for them in the UK. Is there a UK version of America's Kennedy Center Honors? Celebs and people with money hanging out in a venue talking about whatLed Zeppelin brought to the music scene over the past 50 years. We know they are not playing together!
