sonsofthunder Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Japan '71, Custard Pie(Offenburg,'73), and the Fillmore shows in '69 were all better than the stodgy shows you have listed as faves!!?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Monkey Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) I reckon the new Schoeps MK41s source for the O2 gig is going to be way up there with Eddie, Flying Circus, Kneb 4th, Earls Court 24th etc. Its one of the best sounding audience recordings I have ever heard, right in yer face. There is an MP3 of NQ available but dont know if its ok to post link...........mods? Edited December 29, 2007 by Northern Monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solar Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) Not OK to post links NM. Smart to ask first before just posting like others Just heard a snippet of the Wendy source (GTBT) and that's unreal. It's clear to say this show might be one of the most recorded in Zep's history -- new sources are popping up every week.

the-ocean87 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Not OK to post links NM. Smart to ask first before just posting like others Some of the 1975 Boots sound like official releases! Especially "Flying circus" , St. Louis 02-16 and Vancouver 03-19 have an incredible sound-quality. Because of the sound i would say that these are the best boots. But the concerts aren't the best. Other boots i like are New Orelans 1973, Vienna 1973 (great show, sound is not as good as the concert itself but ok), Orlando 1971 , 1969-04-27 Fillmore. The most sounboard-boots sound good. By the way: "1973-07-26_-_Memorial_Auditorium__Buffalo__3rd_Generation" is an great concert. But everything is one tone higher than usual! But it sin't speed up. What is this???

Northern Monkey Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 for unrivaled sound quality.....bring your ass in line at Dime.......the Schoepps source of the 02 is off and running! Will it beat slowburn though! I was kinda hinting at that, but still not sure of the etiquete, only been here for about 5 years.

Northern Monkey Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 the slowburn....and the Maia. sources will make a nice beer coaster. Another 'burn baby burn' dont care though, steal the CDs from work.........aagh the money I've wasted over the years burning discs from multiple sources. The Floyd DSOTM from BBC 74 springs to mind, keep telling myself I wont download another improved version or matrix etc. Just cant help myself, I have a problem.

3hrsoflunacy Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I have: 1 The Slowburn Source 2. The Maia Source 3. The Slowburn/Maia Matrix 4. The Jules McTrainspotter Source 5. The Per Shoeps Source 6. The JCE Source 7. The Clay Source 8. 2 Songs from the Wendy soon to be released disc. Wendy sounds the best, but since it is incomplete my vote for now goes to Per Shoeps. Jules, JCE, and Clay are all very good and a bit clearer, but IMO a little high on the treble side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irg82 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 They did Bron Yr Aur before it was on Physical Graffiti. Well, they also did Blueberry Hill (a cover), and For What It's Worth and, if I'm correct, I Saw Her Standing There as part of the Communication Breakdown medley.

solar Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Well, they also did Blueberry Hill (a cover), and For What It's Worth and, if I'm correct, I Saw Her Standing There as part of the Communication Breakdown medley. Bron Yr Aur was one of the outtakes revived for PG. It was recorded in 1970 at Island Studios. Other songs on PG that were previously recorded/outtakes from other sessions were Down By The Seaside ('71), Night Flight ('71), Boogie With Stu ('71), The Rover ('72), HOTH ('72) and Black Country Woman ('72).

SteveKelly Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I actually prefer the St. Louis and Vancouver shows from '75. Quality is very similar, Plant's voice was much better, and the performances were just as tight, if not better. But I certainly dig Flying Circus. I was at this show in St. Louis. The second time I saw them. Great, great show! Glad to see someone preserved this. The band was on fire this night!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kashmiran Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm partial to the March 19, '75 show at Vancouver BC. 1. Rock and Roll (Terrible) 2. Sick Again (Excellent) 3. Over the Hills and Far Away (Excellent) 4. In My Time of Dying (Good) 5. The Song Remains the Same (Good) 6. The Rain Song (Excellent) 7. Kashmir (Good) 8. No Quarter (Excellent) 9. Trampled Under Foot (**Best Ever**) 10. Moby Dick (Good) 11. Dazed and Confused (Excellent) 12. Stairway to Heaven (Excellent) **Encores** 13. Whole Lotta Love/The Crunge (Excellent) 14.

Whenever they talk about that fifth element to Zeppelin, the magic, this version of this song is encapsulation of that.

Killing Floor Blues Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 how the hell was rock n roll terrible! I don't know if I've heard a 75' Rock and Roll I actually liked. Plant just did not have the voice for that song that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68/80 guy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Rock & roll on h.t.w.w.w. is pretty bad if you ask me. I think Jimmy could have found a better show !!! People were waiting forever for them to release something and I think t.s.r.t.s blows that disc away. I'd like a 75-77 show on cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, 6-25 and 6-27-72 (HTWWW tracks are taken from these two) are pretty highly regarded by Zep fans. They were much more consistant compared to 75 or 77. Good luck finding a 75 Rock & Roll that sounds better than 72. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS1 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I just picked up a bootleg of the August 18th, 1969 show at the Rockpile in Toronto. The sound isn't the best, but what a performance! I love early shows and I don't think I've ever heard the band in as loose a mood as this, jokes abound from Plant. During HMMT, Jimmy Page is introduced "on lead guitar and as many chicks as he can find". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonefreelee Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Rock & roll on h.t.w.w.w. is pretty bad if you ask me. I think Jimmy could have found a better show !!! Couldn't agree more! This RnR reminds me of the lame versions on most of the 1980 shows! Also, have "studio daze" and the "dancin' days" is purported to have come from the other show that was listed on HTWWW ie, if the version on disc was from 6-27, then boot version was from 6-25. The point being that the version on 'studio daze' is much more "in your face" and a much greater version, IMHO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephead Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I just heard, "Matrixing Maryland" for the first time and I was impressed with the quality. I love the mix of soundboard and audience. Whoever mixed this did a great job. I liked most of the performances with the exception of ALS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z88 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I've never seen them live. But for what i see in recordings and videos i would say: Royal Albert Hall 70 Earl's Court 73 Madison Square Garden 73 Knebworth 79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
