After listening to this I wonder how Page could release the October 1969 Paris show as a companion disc and not release his own version of this show.  This remastered soundboard sounds far superior to the Paris show released with LZ I.

I believe he was trying to have each companion disc feature music that was contemporaneous with the original release date of the album it was accompanying. Because of that, this show would have been too far away from the first album to qualify.

Looking forward to your Seattle 03-21-75 work when you deem it fit for sharing... Maybe a 1973 or/and a 1980 down the road. 

[KC7291]

I would love to have a link, thank you!

[JTM]

Thanks for this Steve, an interesting listen, not made my mind up yet, I do think the drums sound a bit odd though.

[arnoootje]

That's a great sound, i'd love to listen to it !

Oh hell yeah. Me as well 👏

I'm still figuring out what to work on next. Current candidates are 5/26/73, 7/28/73, 3/21/75, and 4/27/77. What I normally do is make some trial runs on each one and then keep going on whichever one is working out best.

You'll notice there are no 1980 shows in that list. I've tried to remaster multiple shows from that tour and I can't make them sound any better, no matter what I do. They don't respond to the things that work for the other tours, so I'm not sure I'll ever get one to the point where I'd consider it worthy of release.

I have tried it and it sounds OK, but not as good as the 29th. It's such a good show that I'll keep working on it, but it will be a while before I figure out how to get it to sound good enough to release.

Hi Steve, I would love a link too when you get the chance. Thanks!

[hhorse]

Steve, I would also love a link when you get a second.  All of your stuff is an instant part of the "top level" of my rotation.  Thanks for all of your work!  Mike

If you are taking suggestions I would consider 5/26/73 first, then 7/28/73.  But how about 5/13/73?

I've already got 5/26/73 broken into individual tracks and have done a lot of remastering on it, so it's the leading candidate from '73 because of that. I haven't listened to 5/13/73 recently. I'll see if I can do anything productive with it. I also tried 5/31/73, but wasn't terribly thrilled with the results.

My main goal with the Stereo Project is to hit as many of the famous shows as possible before I run out of steam. That's why 4/27/77 is on the list, even though it's not generally highly regarded. I'd also like to change the perception of that particular show, because I'm finding the performance a lot more impressive than I did in the past once I improved the sound a little bit.

Do you have any plans to do 5/30/77 ?

[SteveZ98]

5/30/77 is on the list, but that list is getting long so I'm not sure when I'll get to it. And as it turns out, the next show I'm doing is 1/22/73. I didn't think I could add much to it, but being able to split the songs into individual tracks let me raise the level of Robert's voice so his vocals now mix well with the instruments. I was also able to split Jimmy's guitar so it's in both the left and right channels, which really fills out the sound. Here's a sample:

Thanks. Having spent a lot of time with this recording recently, I can definitely see why the band decided not to release this and put out HTWWW instead. However, there are some nice moments in this show. My current favorite part of the performance is The Rain Song. The intimate venue seems to mesh well with the tone of the song.

Hello Steve

yes, it is incredible.... Great job on this show.

What program do you use to separate each instrument track?

Well, at least it's on the list. I think some of the perfomances from May 30th might be the best of that tour, 'Sick Again' being one of them - very tight and aggressive. Would be a treat to hear remastered version.
