Japan 72 Compilation


ZepHead315

Recommended Posts

I'm planning on starting work on a "best of" compilation for the band's 1972 Japan tour. I already have a few song choices in mind:

Rock and Roll - 10/10 (since Plant's voice is so good right off the bat)

OTHAFA - 10/10 (ditto)

Moby Dick - 10/9 (obviously)

Dazed and Confused - 10/9

Communication Breakdown - 10/2

Thank You - 10/5

Whole Lotta Love - 10/9

I'm pretty undecided on the others as this is a tour which I'm not that overly familiar with. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

Brilliant idea, since this tour gets a lot of bashing. Luis Rey didn´t like it, usually fans are moaning about Robert´s voice going down, many consider this tour as a mere stepping stone to 1973.

Check these:

Rain Song 10/2 - beautiful version, Robert is doing fine, no major issues

Whole Lotta Love 10/4 - a very strong rendition with a blistering medley, worth to compare with the 10/9 version

Stairway To Heaven 10/10 - excellent!

Dancing Days 10/4 - surprise, a disaster in 73, but not in Japan

Stand By Me 10/9 - you got to take this on board

Can´t help you with the rest, haven´t heard them recently. For the sources I´d recommend The Overture box by EV.

Don't know how I forgot to include Stand By Me in my original post, but that's going to be there for sure. Thanks for these recommendations! I'll be sure to check them out!
