ledzepfilm Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 With the permission of the original filmer, I am very proud to unveil a brand new 1977 8mm film from the famous "Destroyer" show! He also took 35mm slides at the show, which you can see here (note the confirmation of Jimmy playing Kashmir with the #2 Les Paul): https://imgur.com/a/GKJQhT6 Special thanks to the filmer for kindly taping and lending out his reel, Genesismuseum for their gorgeous 2K digital transfer, and ledzepfilm, TAFCIA, June72, publicnemy3, Sticks of Fire, Ed, and Bert13 from The Dogs of Doom for funding the digital transfer. Please, if you have old film reels of Led Zeppelin laying around, get them digitized properly and share them out for the community to see.

Strider Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Merry Christmas to us! Great work and thank you @ledzepfilm. Wish there was an audience tape to 4.27.77...it would provide much better atmosphere than the soundboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Thank you so much to everyone involved. This is amazing. Some of my favorite parts are TYG and the acoustic set. Wow. The fantastic drum sound at the beginning inspired me to go back to the 4/28/77 audience recording. Oh my goodness . . . What a gem that is.

tglynn Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Such amazing work, just matching all the individual segments of video up to the audio is a feat in itself - thankyou to all involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillumpuffer Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Whilst this is a great historical watch, Pages guitar sound is awful. I also can't believe the crowd sat still during Achilles Last Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soundboard makes Jimmy's guitar and well, practically everything else sound worse than it actually was. Just compare this soundboard with the audience tape from the next night, April 28. The difference is night and day. For instance, listen to how much more fuller and warm Jonesy's acoustic guitar on "Ten Years Gone" sounds on the 28th compared to the the soundboard of the 27th. Even Bonham's drums sound better on the 28th audience tape than the 27th soundboard. Edited December 17, 2020 by Strider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies for veering slightly off topic, but what release of the 28 show is a good one, as I have last year's T2000 of both nights and there's something muffled about it that makes it difficult to commit to for very long? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutrocker Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 5 hours ago, Tainted cheese said: My apologies for veering slightly off topic, but what release of the 28 show is a good one, A few months back a fresh master transfer was made of the classic cut-in-between-songs 4/28/77 recording, overseen by Andy Winston (of Winston Remasters fame) himself. There is also an alternate source recording of the show that finally surfaced among the general public a year or so back (it was being hoarded up till then); the alternate is almost as good as the main source and is more complete (i.e. not cut between songs, has the ending of "No Quarter" etc). There's also a matrix version that uses the alternate to patch the main source...can't go wrong with any of those ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Only Way To Fly Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I just noticed that RP stays on stage during Jimmy's Noise Solo. At one point it looks like he's cross-legged and sitting on a piece or gear, just watching Jimmy play. Wonder what thoughts were going through his head during this part of the show.
