rattfink48 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Hi all. Long time reader, first time poster. I've read tons of great info/discussions here over the years and far away and am glad to finally get into the fray! The gibsonfan159 nitpicking threads are my absolute favorites! Anyhow, I have lately fallen in love with the Liquid Led releases. The combo of sound and art are most excellent. However they tweak the low frequencies is absolutely brilliant and make these bootleg ears most appreciative and grateful for what they (bostonbro?) have released. From what I can tell, it looks like Liquid Led has 24 releases total. Is that all there is? Of these 24 releases, I cannot find any info on 008, 011, or 023. One of these is London 2007-12-10 (and I can't find an active DL link) Does anyone have further info on these? I'm a FLAC man by nature but will take what I can get if it gets the job done. Please PM me if you are feeling kind. To share some labor, here is a list of Liquid Led releases: 001 Cleveland 1977-04-27 002 New York 1975-02-12 003 Lewisville 1969-08-31 004 Vancouver 1970-03-21 005 San Francisco 1969-04-24 006 Copenhagen 1969-03-16 007 London 1971-04-01 008 ??? 009 Seattle 1973-07-17 010 Toronto 1971-09-04 011 ??? 012 St. Louis 1975-02-16 013 San Francisco 1969-01-11 014 Buffalo 1973-07-15 015 Stoke 1973-01-15 016 Southampton 1973-01-22 017 Detroit 1973-07-13 018 San Francisco 1969-04-27 019 Vancouver 1975-03-19&20 020 Seattle 1975-03-17 021 San Diego 1975-03-14 022 Boston 1969-01-23 023 ??? 024 New York 1969-01-31 Edited March 14, 2023 by rattfink48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xolo1974 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The 31.8.1969 release of Liquid Led is brilliant. “Ladies and Gentlemen….the Led Zeppelin” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Haven't heard any of their releases yet. When you say "tweak the low frequencies", what exactly do you mean? I don't like labels that mess with the EQ too much and distort the sound. I would like to hear forum members sound input before I look for these Liquid Led releases. How do they compare with Godfatherecords, Eat a Peach, Moonchild, Genuine Masters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattfink48 Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 Strider, I love your Los Angeles concert stories and share your interest in the Berkeley 71 tapers state of mind when/if he threw the tapes into the ocean. I've read that Liquid Led is a bass player... Whatever they do to the bass gives a very natural JPJ and Bonzo kick drum. They have only released SBD/FM recordings and they sound remarkable. As Xolo1974 refers to Texas Pop, the drums in the intro are so crackin' that it makes you want to jump out of your seat and let the spirit take over. It's hard to compare with the labels you mention as a whole since they all release a lot of AUD. I think Liquid Led has a clarity, not too loud, and not no-noised to death. Like WR, they aren't too hot. Like Godfather/Eat A Peach/ GM, they are very clear and superior releases. You can find most of these at forums with 101 in their name (and some at internet archive) in glorious Flac... I would recommend trying Texas Pop and see what you hear.

Badgeholder Still Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I have 013 San Francisco 1969-01-11. The bass/low end definitely stood out from the first listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xolo1974 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Seem to remember the Canada 1975 shows are good as well (Vancouver?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Artist: Led Zeppelin Date: Compilation 1969-1970 Title: London Fog Label: Liquid Led (LLP-0409-008) Venue: Various Location: London, England Source: Pre-Broadcast FM / BBC-TV Lineage: Silver CD > EAC > WAV > FLAC *Note: Remaster Non - Released BBC Sessions Audio Disc 01. Communication Breakdown (John Peel's Top Gear Pre-FM 3.3.1969) 02. What Is And What Should Never Be (Chris Grant's Tasty Pop Sundae Pre-FM 6.16.1969) 03. Dazed And Confused (BBC Rock Hour Pre-FM 6.27.1969) 04. White Summer / Black Mountain Side (The Julie Felix Show BBC-TV 4.23.1970) 05. Chris Grant Interview (Chris Grant's Tasty Pop Sundae Pre-FM 6.16.1969) Review: A short but wonderful collage of Pre-FM Radio1/BBC-TV audio. Liquid Led's remaster to the non-offical BBC tracks is very good and enjoyable to listen to. Whats amazing to me is that these tracks didn't make the cut for the offical release. All tracks stand out for their quality but White Summer is becoming a personal fav. for me; for it's crisp clean quality and Jimmy's tempo is unreal. Enjoy "London Fog". -bostonbro Art and Checksum Included Enjoy -bostonbro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattfink48 Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Yes! All are accounted for but 023… Maybe Liquid Led sees it as an unlucky number or maybe they saw the movie with Jim Carrey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only show I don’t have now the the 2007-12-10 London show (and 023 if there is one. Bueller?) Black Beauty has half of O2 in mp3 but I’m on the market for the whole in flac. Wink-wink. Also, since no one asked I decided I’m going to review all the Liquid Led titles in order of when they were released… I’ll start a Liquid Led Appreciation thread soon.

Also, also: San Diego 75 has a corrupt Dazed And Confused file. Only 10 minutes of 32 will play. I’m patching in EVSD version but will honor anyone in a toast with a shot of Irish Whiskey that can provide a full lossless version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A possibility is that release 023 could be 1969-01-26 Boston? 022 Is Boston 1969-01-23 and 024 is 1969-01-31 NY. Liquid Led used almost all SBD previously (except London 2007), so perhaps their last run of releases was a string of January 1969 AUD shows? Liquid Led seems to only use top-notch sources (KRW_CO put out a 1969-01-26 low-gen/possible master of this not long ago). Their listings also always say brought to you by "bostonbro" so maybe they went out on a high note with a couple of hometown shows? (Especially ones that aren't infamous as Boston 73) Just spitballing here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority the Liquid Led shows are soundboards but most of the Dogs stuff is audience recordings. Also, there isn't much overlap between the shows I've released publicly and the Liquid Led stuff. Based on that, it seems like they're starting with the same unremastered sources the rest of us have.

I started getting LZ bootlegs off the net about 6-7 years ago and they were around then. They do soundboards only. They’re great, but not as good as Steve’s. The ones I frequently listen to are the Texas International Pop Festival and Snowblind (both Vancouver shows in ‘75). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moby_Dick_Ale Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Apart from the sound quality, I think the Liquid Led release for Vancouver 1975, march 19 & 20 "Canadian Crush" is a real gem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
