Christopher Lees Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 What is the best live version of The Crunge? It doesn't necessarily have to be the most complete version, as far as I'm concerned, but which version do you think best expresses the whole idea of The Crunge? There are versions of it from some 72' boots and later ones as well. I think some of them were inserted into DAC in 72. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 3/11/75 As far as I know, they came close to the whole version (if necessary); either way, the jam was incredible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordev1977 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Does Robert even sing on the 72 versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmtomh Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Isn't the 3-19-75 Vancouver one pretty good and nearly complete? Or am I misremembering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tainted cheese Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The best is the '72 San Bernardino (no vocals) in my humble opinion, very tight . . . and loose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree , it's edgy sounding and they sound unsure about the form which often seems to be the case in 75. Page in particular sounds uncertain about the time changes. IMO, 72 versions were best but usually no vocal ...which is fine by me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find a version from 75 that isn't fucked up to some degree with missed cues. LOL. Frankly , this song kinda sucked live in 75. It always sounded sloppy and Plants voice was straining by the end of the show, not to mention those ahhhhh moans are annoying. I'd rather hear the Instrumental versions from 72.

I'd rather hear the Instrumental versions from 72. Totally. The Crunge works far better as an instrumental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Only Way To Fly Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I've always liked the TSRTS 1976 version during WLL. Not complete, but find this version a lot of fun + the groove is killer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you jest...they didn't play the Crunge in TSRTS, or at all in 73 US tour. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renounce Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 They nail it very nicely in the HTWWW DAC. Seattle '75 has a good one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
