ally Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 thoughts and please include dates I assume you mean Clapton ( I'm an old Geezer) if you are, I saw him in Vancouver. He opened with Layla (he fooled everyone with that one ) got the evening off to a flying start. He then settled down and ripped out some amazing blues classics and a bit of his own material. Can't say it was the best show of the tour (I'd gone off Clapton a bit at that time, and it was the only gig that I saw) he was on that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solar Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Um, I believe Wolfman means Earls Court....as it's Zeppelin Live we're talking about But I'd have to say 3/19/75 in Vancouver, ironically, is my favorite of the '75 tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooney1975 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 03-21-75 Seattle Plant's voice was probably at it's best on this night. Page is no longer suffering much from the finger injury in January and isn't as sticky as he would be in Los Angeles. Rare version of SIBLY plus the best version of Stairway to Heaven ever.

MS1 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I like the Long Beach Arena Fragment tape quite a bit. Overall, I prefer 69-73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZepp Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Vancouver is the first one that comes to mind. MSG 2-12 was great also. The other New York shows are good also. St. Louis 2-16 is a good one. Brussells 1-12, Chicago 1-20 were good also, but Robert's voices isn't very good. The band was awesome these nights.

Rock Action Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Vancouver 3/19 is superb. We're lucky to have such a wonderful recording of that available. Dallas 3/5, St. Louis 2/16, San Diego 3/14, LA Forum 3/25. All great shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told you I was an old Geezer My bad I was at that Vancouver gig... great show. I heard a recording years ago that wasn't very good at all. Would love to hear this one that your talking about.

Fresh Garbage Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have yet to hear the Vancouver Soundboard, but I have the Please release and it's a great show! they were really on a roll then. I like San Diego 3/10-Long Beach 3/12 Seattle 17/21 and all the Forum shows. and the Dallas shows at the beging of March as well. overall the whole month was solid with a few exceptions (like San Deigo 3/14)......

I totally agree, one of my all time favourite shows. Best version of Dazed and Confused ever too imo. I would be in heaven if a SBD of this show came out.

Walter Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I have a copy of Montreal '75 that is great!! I also have the Long Beach, CA show on vinyl, but it was recorded at a faster than normal speed. Whenever I used to play it, I had to weight down the turn table to slow it down It is titled How Many More Times - still was a great show. Dallas '75 soundboard was good also - thumping version of Kashmir.

One Symbol Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Another vote for Vancouver 3/19. I also have a soft spot for the LA Forum run of shows recorded by Millard (can't quite remember the dates off the top of my head though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3hrsoflunacy Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Here are my thoughts: 1. If you want to hear some rarely played live tracks (When the Levee Breaks, Wanton Song), get Jan 12th and 20th, Brussels and Chicago repectively. Recordings are ok. 2. Feb 12th, New York - One of several almost official release quality soundboard recordings from this year. Boot is titled Flying Circus. 3. Feb 16th, St. Louis - Another great sounding SBD recording. Good performance, with an inspired Sick Again (IMO) and a great funky theremin section. Get the Bertha Remaster. 4. Feb 28th - Baton Rouge. Good concert, probably my favorite Moby Dick of the year. 5. Mar 4 and 5 - Dallas. Both very good SBD recordings. I don't have a preference as far as performance. 6. Mar 11 - Long Beach - Great Millard recording. 7. Mar 19 - Vancouver - Another stellar SBD recording. Great theremin section (IMO), and Percy throws a little extra love to Georgina at the end of IMTOD. 8. One I haven't listened to much, but a lot of people rave about is Mar 27th in Long Beach. Stay away from Cleveland, Indianapolis, and Greensboro at the end of Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
