He probably planned this all along. Wouldn't be surprised if he's laughing to himself about it too. That would be sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmtomh Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) I think the seller just sold to the highest bidder. The "dangling" was to give evidence that they had the source and to show what it sounds like. Edited July 29, 2022 by tmtomh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to hear the whole recording of course, but if you asked me which two songs I'd most want to have, it would be Gallows Pole #1 and Weekend #2. Grateful to have one of the two. This right here, the voice of calm and reason. You raised the bar on this thread and for that I thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelss Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Hmm. I wonder if Mr Page has ever purchased a tape through an intermediary to stop it getting out... 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You raised the bar on this thread and for that I thank you. OK OK OK. Fair dues. I'll stop whining like the proverbial! 😉... ...but before I do (slightly embarrassed emoji, which I can't find in the menu) the one thing I'll say is this: as I mentioned above, if STH is anything to go by, this show might've just been one of Plant's best ever performances. I've scoured through all the tapes from 1971 and 1972 and I'm pretty sure it's the only occasion he hits (or even attempts) the high note on the line "Who shines white light...", thus making it the live vocal performance which is closest to the studio version. That's pretty cool. Thank you so much for putting that up here, Zep Head. I wonder why the ending of STH is in such different quality to the rest of it all. Oh well, at least we've got it! No more whinging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) The ending of Stairway sample predates anything from spindle's recording, and is a verified fake. Close comparison reveals that the instrumentals were actually taken from the 9/29/71 Osaka show. Not sure where the vocals are from but they are certainly overlaid to try and exaggerate authenticity. Otherwise, the other samples are legit. Edited July 31, 2022 by ledzepfilm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
