duckman Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Title says it all, what would you expect from a 4th volume in the unofficial boxed set series? On the cover; Mr.Jones (of course)! The fourth (and final?) volume in the 'Evolution= Timing' saga is dedicated to the other side of live Zeppelin experience: the best audience recordings. As a guide line (and shoot me, if you disagree!)1969 is limited to one disc since their second concert year is fairly well represented on vol.1. Whereas some years like 70, 72 and 79 were completely not represented on that volume. 1973 and 1975 also faired well due to the availability of top notch SBs, the challenge will be to tailor these concert years a bit down to 'the bare necessities'. 1977 is a different story; the not so well loved 77 boards don’t do justice to the general excitement surrounding their last American tour. The Millard tapes are no brainers, so 77 is a compilation of sorts from the best bits from 6/21, 6/23, 6/25 and some acoustic ditties off 6/27. Destroyer 28 -alas- is a casualty of war. A great show and very nice recording…but could the quality live up to eargasm of Mike’s fantastic recordings? Last but not least; the Copenhagen warm ups. 7/23 has the edge in the fidelity department, but 7/24 is a real cooker which obviously should take the lion share of these final two discs. This is a rough sketch and a work in progress, so your input is crucial.

Xolo1974 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hi Eric. Great post mate. I would gave thought Seattle 73 would get a mention! Great show, awesome recording! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcczep Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Errr... Duck shouldn't it be Bonham on the cover? Jones was on #3. I can't even wrap my head around what it should comprise but your choices are a good representation. It should however includes covers and one-offs of songs hardly played live.

Nutrocker Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 For 1980 I'd toss the Berlin audience recording in there- the best of the sources sounds pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, those one offs, definitely deserve a place on this compilation; Stand By Me, Four Sticks, Gallows Pole, Your Time is gonna come, Wanton Song, Levee,...
