drpete Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I saw this article on Twitter on Led Zeppelin News. Looks like what we all may be hoping for. Multiple Live show releases available to stream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 At first I checked the date to make sure it wasn't April 1. If this is true, HALLELUJAH! It's about time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time. Sooo the question being is there going to be shows we have never heard?? And do you think JP will use MM recordings and others who risked their lives to bring the recordings to the masses? They won't let us download, even for a price. . Ohh the possibilities!!:):):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SymphonyX Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Seems cool and interesting but I would not get any serious hopes up. You can try floating a balloon, but how long will it stay up in the air? I don't really see people spending money and streaming like this, especially with many poor recordings live. I'm not really all that keen with the term Led Zeppelin Experience. It sounds a bit cheesy and un-original ; in the sense the term has always been associated with Jimi Hendrix Experience. Zeppelin deserves it's own throne in terms of words and phrases like that. Edited September 19, 2018 by SymphonyX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Moon Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I guess this will make a lot of fans happy. On the other hand, does this mean there will be no physical releases (CD & Vinyl)??? For me this would be a HUGE letdown. I simply can`t enjoy music via my laptop and those shitty sounding speakers. Also, I can´t connect my laptop with my hifi system, which may be a little old but very good, no optical or digital input available. God, I hope they will release CDs & vinyl sets. If not, there is hope that the live-stream will be bootlegged. NON DOWNLOADABLE- I don´t think they get away with that nowadays......

Goddamn, need to connect the laptop with my amplifier somehow......... The Stones have their live archive releases, why can´t LZ do a proper job as well?

drpete Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'm sure there must be a way to record or create a torrent from a live stream. Hell we put a man on the moon and that was 50 years ago, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZepHead315 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The non-downloadable part is a little concerning to me. Couldn't that just mean that these shows could be available for a limited amount of time and then just disappear back into the vault? I mean I'd assume that there would be some sort of way to save the streams, but still it makes me wonder. 1 hour ago, SymphonyX said: I don't really see people spending money and streaming like this, especially with many poor recordings live. I seriously doubt that they're going to put up subpar recordings. This is Page we're talking about. No way in hell he'd stream something like, say, the Bath 1970 audience recordings. I only hope that this is either a) stuff we've never heard before or b) upgrades to things we've already heard (ex. a previously uncirculating soundboard). Regardless, I'm excited to see what will come from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official line will be that it’s not downloadable....but there are some very smart IT savvy people out there. I’ll be investing in a turntable/stereo system soon (an extra man-cave I mean room will be added to the house over the next year). I’ll then start collecting vinyl. Is there such a thing as a stereo system that will play vinyl that also has Bluetooth capabilities (to link to the laptop)? I’m not very savvy with stuff like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticks of Fire Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Not to be negative everyone is already taking about all sorts of crazy stuff...believe me I’d love it too but the first line of the post says “...may be working on...”. 🙄 Edited September 20, 2018 by Sticks of Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOsbourne Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 No downloads is less than ideal, but this is potentially very exciting news. Being able to listen to live Zep in a format like Spotify (say) is still great. (I'm assuming this means Page would be opening up the vaults.)

But what we actually know for sure is what they're trying to trademark. It's a pretty clear indication of the band's intent, but we don't know for sure that The Led Zeppelin Experience is in active development right now. Either way, the band is certainly investing a lot of time and money on having the legal framework in place to launch this service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie0024 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 One thing to mention which didn't make it into the article: Led Zeppelin has hired one of the best intellectual property lawyers in the US to get this trademark. The UK company they used to file the original application has been dropped, and they've now hired a specialist US firm which has assigned a partner with 30 years of experience to personally handle Led Zeppelin's filings. To me, that's a pretty clear sign of intent (and financial backing) for this project, and shows the band is aware that the clock is ticking on their future plans.

rm2551 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 "And first up, we have a release of the popular Mike Millard AUD tape layered with the previously unheard Soundboard, professionally mixed and treated at a high end London studio of the LA Forum gig, June 21, 1977"..... Well, at least it's possible. ...but seriously, I hope this possible program delivers the promise that it could well be something really good.

Oh , a glass is half empty type eh? 😏 I would gladly take a clear, mastered matrix aud/sbd mp3 any day over any lossless audience tape. Those already are plentifully available. Most hardcore fans have lossless audience transfers. I love how quickly people start with the negative vibes. Anyway, this sounds like real pie in the sky, but we shall see....🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xolo1974 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I just had a thought. Pretty obvious question....but they will charge for the streaming, right? if they didn’t would this get around the need to pay royalties....and hence leave the shows intact?

rm2551 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) I'd say it will be pay. Maybe a subscription based model that entitles you to ongoing content. Which is fine with me if it not mostly fluff, "exclusive" interviews where nothing new is really discussed, and live stuff no better than what is already available AND the pricing is not harsh. I am not a man with a lot of disposable income. heavy pricing will be MOST annoying. But I'll remain optimistic and picture something that will be worthwhile and offer new live stuff or stuff that is already out there being vastly improved (average audience recording turns into top notch Soundboard for example) I really hope there is something Page can create and release to represent the '77 North America tour. While I was being a bit cheeky with the LA Forum run idea, the point of that is - it is possible. However unlikely. So be positive people! You just never know....
