paul carruthers Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Nothing new to learn on my part, just wondering why the band wasn't more adept at recording live shows during their peak years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ^ 1000%, compare to the Grateful Dead, the dead have 1000s of hours recordings, epic shows. i live in Seattle Washington, live close to multiple places they played.. Seattle pop festival where they blow the doors off stage, not recorded. Greenlake, concert on local lake, crazy cool spot and band on fire, not recorded.. it’s a damn shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hummingbird69 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 You know the Name Grateful Dead is a reference to the people who died in the audience from sheer boredom right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have read countless books, articles, live tapes, interviews… sadly I don’t know what’s left to learn. have some new info on LZ? Something you’ve learned recently? If you don't already have one, grab a copy of the book "Evenings with Led Zeppelin". It's over 600 pages of details of Led Zeppelin's live performances, and includes hundreds of pictures of venues, ticket stubs, posters, and a lot more. There's tons of info in there you likely haven't seen before, and if you already have a copy of the book, there's probably lots of stuff you've forgotten. Disclaimer: I am friends IRL with Mike Tremaglio, one of the authors of the book, but don't take my word about how good the book is, checkout the tons of positive reviews for it on Amazon. And if you want even more info about Zep's live shows, head over to Royal Orleans and search for the following two incredibly detailed threads about Zep's soundboards: About those 1968-1970 Soundboards... About those 1971-1980 Soundboards... I'd also recommend the "Zeppelin Mysteries" thread on this site, which delves into numerous little known areas of the band's history: Edited January 6 by SteveZ98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadpolejar Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Yes the dead are like licorice, not everyone get it, regardless of your taste, the dead invested in recording. LZ was shortsighted, disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more! Especially since I feel Page has referenced having 'loads of unheard material' in interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every day is a school day, my friend. Many people mused for years whether the band did ever really play Carnegie Hall, for example. Some said yes, others said no, and then out of the blue turns up an actual recording of the event. Keep looking, keep reading and keep rummaging around.
