Bags_Groove Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Here's to hoping that it's the 1971-09-28 Soundboard that's been teased over the last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rm2551 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 I had it on my facebook feed. Sincere apologies I did not take notice of source, but I think someone ping'd Dave Lewis with the shot, so I ended up seeing it and copied it. So yeah, could be shenannigans, (I probably should have disclaimed that straight away) - but it does look interesting. And the Seattle date. Isn't there video and good soundboard? Why Kingdome: 17/07 Anyway, I was hoping this might provoke a response from someone who knows something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Dounim Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I would love it if it was the true stereo soundboard of Seattle 77, itd make a fantastic upgrade over the mono video feed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmtomh Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I wouldn't get your hopes up, although I hope I'm wrong in my pessimism. If I had to guess, I would guess it will be an "upgraded" version of the video soundtrack source, whose sonic benefits over the existing best versions are modest at best. As I say, I hope I am wrong. Also, I'd much prefer to see the 9-29-71 soundboard released - great performance, plus holy sh** the one-song teaser we got last year is one of the best-sounding Zep soundboards from the entire '69-'71 period. But it would be weird to have that promotional photo, with that particular date, if it weren't a 40th anniversary release of Seattle '77.

Sue Dounim Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 It'd be wild if it was the the rest of the soundboard for 1973/07/17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we do need a Japan 1971 SB release, and most likely it will be 9.28.71- the bonus teaser track on "Rock Carnival" is from the 28th Sept., the first night in Osaka. I really hope it will be released in 2017. And for 9.29.71: Maybe there is also a real SB with same quality as the Black Dog teaser from the 28th. I know a lot of people looking forward to the 3.21.75 release in June, so do I, but I think after the long string of 1975 SBs it is about time for for Japan 1971, or anything from 70-72.

That was a typo on my part when I wrote 9-29-71 - I meant -928. At any rate, I share your hope about 9-28 (and 9-29!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the general consensus based on this discussion at Royal Orleans was that the main source used for the 9/29 show was a soundboard/feed from a multitrack and NOT an audience recording.

Or Pontiac '77 video. No matter how greatly improved the video image on a Kingdome release, it's not a show that I would want to watch regularly, whereas Pontiac is such a show.

To my understanding the "so called" SB of 9/29 was a soundboard/split, a recording someone made without permission of the band or the people who were in charge of recording the show- that is why the recording is so unbalanced. I think this theory is confirmed with the recently released Black Dog teaser of 9/28, which has superb balanced sound. Think, why should the real SB of 9/29 sound worse than the recording of the previous day? Same venue, same gear- no need to alter anything.

Are you saying someone plugged their equipment into the multitrack and got a raw feed that just happened to feature Page and Bonzo? This would explain why the tape is so unbalanced, and it seems to be what others have been saying. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can shed some more light on this. I will say based on all the evidence presented in the thread I linked above, it is most definitely NOT an audience tape from directly on the stage, as has been rumored. There's no way it would sound that unbalanced if that were the case. Does this mean we technically both do and do not have a soundboard from this show? If so, what a conundrum!

Indeed, so many confusing details about 9/29 Jimmy Page declared the Japan recordings not suitable for an official release- do we have to trust in his rating? Anyway, he would butcher/polish the tapes like he did with HTWWW, cut out the banter and the awesome covers- we can only wait for a bootleg-release. By the way, the members of Deep Purple were worried when their record company recorded their Aug. 1972 gigs with dated equipment- the results can be heard on "Made in Japan". And yes, I reallly think that all the hitherto existing 9/29 "SB" boots are merely from the SB-split recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why they should have been worried as it is arguably the best live album ever made. Martin Birch recorded it and thought it was tremendous. I believe the record company only wanted it for a Japanese release only but when they heard what was done, well the rest is history. Imagine a Zeppelin show in that sound. Oh boy !! Anyway it was 1972 and the Zeppelin show was 1971 Edited May 26, 2017 by chillumpuffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
