LedZep1969 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Like Earls Court, SRTS, How the West Was Won etc. For the songs: Stairway to Heaven, Dazed and Confused, Since Ive Been Loving You, Moby Dick, and Black Dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docron Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Since I've Been Loving You - 1970-09-04 L.A. Forum (Raw solo and fresh alternate lyrics - they sound posessed during this version - A MUST HEAR!) I Can't Quit You - 1970-01-09 Royal Albert Hall (The solo, my god, the solo. The Page/Plant dynamic was clean and spot on through the whole number.) As Long As I Have You - 1969-04-24 Fillmore West (Figured not many people would comment on this one, one of my early favorites.) Heartbreaker - 1970-03-07 Montreux (Just because I guess - pretty much any version of this was good in the early days when Plant still had the banshee voice.) Black Dog - 1971-04-01 BBC (This version just sounds so much faster than it did in the later years - I think its the drum arrangements that set this one off.) I'll limit myself to 5 opinions. As you can see, I'm a fan of the early Led. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docron Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Oops.., I just realized you gave us the songs to choose... oh well, I got some of them. Sorry anyways. Here are my re-fills: Stairway to Heaven - 04-01-1971 BBC (I know this is my favorite Black Dog too, but I can't get over the way Plant sings the final verse of this song after Page's clean and to-the-point solo. LOUD AND RAW. Robert was really on point through the whole setlist, which is funny because the concert was postponed a week or two because of his voice being too weak! This is probably the best whole-concert performance for Plant ever IMO.) Moby Dick - 1970 (I just put a year on this one because its hard for me (who is not a big musician) to tell the differences between each one.. I basically picked 1970 because at this time they were still somewhat short (about 14-17 minutes) compared to the long drawn out ones of latter. This song is one you can't really appreciate unless you seen it in person, or if you're a big musician) Dazed and Confused - 1969-08-31 Texas Pop Festival (Basically with this one, I'm a fan of the 15-17 minute versions that didn't include the full blown medley section - To me, this song is good enough on its own. This particular version has a badass bow solo and mean slap-back guitar responses during the call and play with Plant. How Many More Times and Whole Lotta Love should stick with the medleys IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikedavid Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I love Since i've Been Loving You from TSRTS, the shredding in the beggining is just mindblowing! Stairway... Wow,hard... TSRTS again. Because of Plant's sayings (Remember laughter, etc...) and the solo! Dazed & Confused i love the one in How the West Was won, don't have a special reason...

Roxie Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'll just go with years here, because I can't be bothered to check my iPod for specific dates. I love the '75 versions of Black Dog and Dazed & Confused, and the '73 versions of SIBLY and STH. TSRTS is definitely my fave version of Stairway.

SilverVishnu Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Black Dog. 1971-08-07 Montreux or one of the first couple of 71 dates defo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZepp Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Go by each album Zeppelin I Good Times Bad Times-While they had partial versions the only full version was the O2 show. They did play near full versions on some shows and in some medleys but never a full version till O2 Babe I'm Gonna Leave You-Denmark version on 3-15 I think. The one for Denmark TV You Shook Me-I'll have to think about this one. One of the BBC versions maybe it. Dazed and Confused-I'll have to think a while to pick just one. It's probably from 1973 Black Mountain Side/White Summer-RAH is good. So is the Anyone have a Les Paul version which started the show. I can probly put a few others up there as well. Communication Breakdown-9-4-70 or the Knebworth show they played it at. I Can't Quit You-10/10/69 Paris, France How Many More Times-RAH II Whole Lotta Love-I may pick either Knebworth or their final version in 1980 in Berlin. What is and What Should Never Be-Can't think of one that's much better Lemon Song(Killing Floor)-4-27 or the version from Gonzaga Thank You-Southampton 73 Heartbreaker-8-7-71 LLM wasn't played live Ramble On-same as GTBT O2 was the first full live version so I'll go with that one. Moby Dick-Don't know. There's a lot to pick from. Bring it on Home-Tulsa 8-21-70 III Immigrant Song-England 4-1-71 Friends-Japan 9-29-71 Celebration Day-Not a memorable one SIBLY-Wow there's a lot of choices here, I can't pick a half dozen of them. Out on the Tiles-Oakland 9-2 Gallows Pole-Copenhagen 71 Tangerine-5-24 Earls Court That's the Way-I can't think of one I like less than any other. Bron Y-Aur Stomp/Dancing Days-That's right I'm cheating and putting 2 of them in one since these songs were played together in LA in 1977 on the last day in LA. IV Black Dog-Dublin 3-6-71 Rock and Roll-Can't think of one Battle of Evermore-I'll take Badgeholders one. 6-23 Stairway-One of the Earls Court versions. 24th I guess. Misty Mountain Hop-San Fran 6-2-73 Going to California 5-24 Earls Court When the Levee Breaks-Well there's no much to pick from. I think they teased it once or twice in 73. But the first version in Brussells is my pick. I'll do the later years later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reids Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 These are easy choices for the following, since Zeppelin never performed these live... "Wearing & Tearing" --- Knebworth 1990 (Page and Plant) "For Your Life" --- O2 Arena 2007: Ahmet Tribute (Plant, Page, JPJ and Jason Bonham) For those songs that Zeppelin did perform later on/in their last tours: "In The Evening" --- Knebworth 1979 (August 4 or 11) "Hot Dog" --- Knebworth 1979 "All My Love" --- Knebworth 1979 R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZepp Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Houses of the Holy The Song Remains the Same 3-12 Long Beach, even with the strings breaking it has so much energy The Rain Song-3-17-73 Munich Over the Hills and Far Away-One of the Japan shows in 1972 The Crunge-3-19 Vancouver Dancing Days-already answered No Quarter-WOW about 15 different ones go up here. The Ocean-LA Forum or the San Fran version from 73 on back to back nights. Physical Graffiti In My Time of Dying-O2 Show Trampled Underfoot-LA Forum 75 any version, there's some good 80 funky versions also. Kashmir-O2 show or Knebworth Bron Yr Aur-yes they played this a few times. I'll pick the LA forum version from 9-4-70 Ten Years Gone-I would say 6-21 but the tape cuts. I'll take 6-23 instead. Wanton Song they played it for about a month in the first American tour, but Robert's voice was so rough it's hard to pick one. Black Country Woman-I think they played a full version in Seattle of 72 or 73 that was pretty cool. Sick Again-New York 2-12 Presence Achilles Last Stand-Knebworth 8-4 For Your Life-Only one choice. O2 Nobody's Fault-You could tell they loved playing this one live. I'll take take Houston 5-21-77. In Through the Outdoor In The Evening-Never liked this live. Pacing was wrong for me. Too fast for the song. Hot Dog-Zurich 6-29 or Frankfort 6-30 All My Love 6-18 Calogne something about it is so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it didn't. All My Love was only played in the 80 tour. If you go by P&P shows then I'll take Tea For One from 2-13-96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
