irg82 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Do you guys know what gig has the clearest recording of this song? I have one of the Boston shows (EVSD Boston After Dark), but the sound quality isn't that good. Also, when was the last time they played this song? Thanks. B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'd say that the famous April 27th, 1969 @ Fillmore West is probably the clearest and my favourite... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

infidel Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'll add my vote for that version, too. Killer highlight to a GREAT show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NickZepp Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Gonzaga 68 isn't bad. Most of the San Fran shows are good. Miami 2-14 is pretty clear. But San Fran 4-27 has to be the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mooney1975 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) The Gladsaxe recording from 03.15.69 is good. Soundboard recording I think. I don't know the last performance but I think it was dropped at the end of May 1969. Edited November 26, 2007 by Mooney1975 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solar Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 yeah good stuff the guitar/bass/drums are pretty well represented. the vocals come up short anybody else know of other boots just waiting around for me to download them? If the new site is like the old, and I fully expect it to be as it's tied to the band officially now, posting bootlegs here is not permitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenman Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 The 23rd and 27th of April are definately the best sounding versions I'v heard but my favourite would probabley be from the 26th of the same month, freakishly powerful version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveAJones Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 yeah good stuff the guitar/bass/drums are pretty well represented. the vocals come up short anybody else know of other boots just waiting around for me to download them? At one time there was a number of shows JPJ did with Mutual Appreciation Society available for download. Let me know if you have any luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the fool Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Does anyone know who originally performed this song? I've tried doing some google searching but I found no other song that resembles what I hear Plant singing... I'm sure someone here must know... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it's good that you did not lose your hope, i thought it would be pretty weird if the experts wouldn't gather here! Anyways, Garnett Mimms - As Long As I Have You. Propably elvis too but who knows? (googlesearch *rolleyes) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the Queen of Psych Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 And it's good that you did not lose your hope, i thought it would be pretty weird if the experts wouldn't gather here! Anyways, Garnett Mimms - As Long As I Have You. Propably elvis too but who knows? (googlesearch *rolleyes) yup it most certainly is garnett mimms. brilliant tune. plant does great job on the aforementioned '69 fillmore boot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rock Action Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 April 24/27 are the best recordings I have. Sadly the 27th has a few dropouts in it. The 24th is clearer, but it's hard to hear Robert. But they are excellent considering the age/source! GREAT song. I wish they'd have covered it longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gollum6668 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Seconded. 'As Long As I Have You' from 4-27-69..very excellent..Sorry haven't heard the others..but this version is very "clean, crisp." Up there with 'Train Kept' and 'Sitting and thinking'..all very good "unreleased" zep tunes which should be made to the public....hhmm..if plant is not going to do a reunion tour..perhaps page & jones could bide their time with putting out a "coda II" with "new, unreleased" live tracks....ooppss...sorry i'm new to this...but yeah. maybe a new thread? anyways 4-27-69 version is the best quality/"professional" version of the era..this is the 21st century not the 70's or even 90's..

the fool Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I guess I should probably "fourth" the 4-27-69 version. Great performance all around. The Devil's Blues is the best sounding bootleg of this show that I've heard, from what I can remember... Is Collage also a recording of this show? I can't remember, but I know the sound of Devil's Blues is better than that... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solar Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Count me in for the 24th version over the 27th. Sound quality might be a little better, but the performance on the 24th is mesmerizing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mos6507 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) yup it most certainly is garnett mimms. brilliant tune. plant does great job on the aforementioned '69 fillmore boot. I just listened to a bit of this on Itunes. My GOD did they totally tear this mother down to the foundation and rebuild it as a heavy metal riffer. Same thing with For Your Love when they played it in the Gonzaga show. The original As Long As I Have You has backup singers and a horn section Edited December 17, 2007 by mos6507 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Killing Floor Blues Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Count me in for the 24th version over the 27th. Sound quality might be a little better, but the performance on the 24th is mesmerizing. Agreed. One of the most intense numbers Zep ever played. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zafreth Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 The 270469 is the definitive version Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tom kid Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 The 270469 is the definitive version Agreed. Listening to it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NickZepp Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I don't know which version is the definitive version. I think all of the dozen or so recordings are pretty quality recordings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
