Can't stop chuckling.

There is just not enough smut on this forum.

Good job there wasn't any Salty Dick on the 26th May. He had a tendency to over do it by that stage of the tour...

Disgraceful.

 

The garden tapes are pure insanity, but a little too long. Mobile is a good choice as is salt lake city

Soz. I was being silly. Salt Lake City was the 26th and my (rather clumsily expressed) point was that there was no Moby Dick at Salt Lake City.

It was a strange gig and has a very mixed reputation but I can assure you that it is an excellent gig. No Moby Dick (a bit of a relief to get a break from it as they were becoming sooooo long by Summer 1973 - sometimes half an hour!) , WLL is short with no boogie section and at one point Page's guitar is a bit out of tune but Dazed and No Quarter are fantastic and the audience tape reveals that Plant was hitting some incredible notes in the Communication Breakdown encore. He sings it almost like the original studio recording. Shame the soundboard is so dry and the audience is not the best. I once heard a sbd/aud matrix years ago (that I believe is still available to download on a certain website!) but the audio wasn't synced properly and it was not the best listen.

If you want a longer Moby Dick from 1973, may I recommend 1973/6/2 Kezar Stadium. Almost half an hour and it is pretty captivating.

Indeed.  I love that Plantation.  As an added bonus, Kezar may be Bonham's greatest ever count in to The Ocean.  "A one, a two, a three, a four" in a jolly tone.

Yeah, it is a good one!  One of the better performances of the song too, especially considering the sound quality.
