rtyper Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thank you Can i ask you what DVD Concert is the Best? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rock Action Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thank you Can i ask you what DVD Concert is the Best? Legit- the Led Zeppelin DVD release from 2003. This one's a no-brainer. Bootleg- "Secrets Revealed", Knebworth 8/4/1979. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pinky Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Official: How The West Was Won - Led Zeppelin has only released 3 live albums "The Song Remains The Same" which was Madison Square Garden, New York City. The BBC Sessions, Paris Theatre, London. And as mentioned HTWWW. Bootleg: Perhaps Zep's best time September of 1970, the shows available are Oakland 9/2/70, 9/3/70 San Diego, Iglewood - L.A Forum 9/4/70 (AKA Blueberry Hill Zep's biggest boot), Boston 9/9/70 (features Ramble On), 9/19/70 Madison Square Garden, New York (get the evening show). All of 71 is good. I think Australia 72 through U.S. 72 was Zep's true best (as Page also says) but few boots of the 72 U.S. tour have good sound quality. As for DVD... official: "The DVD", just get The Song Remains The Same too the MSG 73 part of the DVD makes you want it more. bootleg: 8/4/79, many say this is better than the next show 8/11/79 but I think there VERY similar and the setlist of 8/11/79 IMO is better.

jimmy page66 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 8/11/79 IMO is better. You are very confused obviously.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kdh Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The one that has not been released officially, yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ohjimmy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Will be interesting to see what this new soundboard sounds like--Nassau 02/14/75.....it might be up there with some of their best live 1975 shows.......the audience version was always a good one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
led zep maniack Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Best live cd TINY TIM DOES OLD COGGERS OLD FOLKS HOME great audience response. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
docron Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) If you're a Zeppelin fan, it doesn't matter which is better - you NEED to have all of them. Heres how I look at it: Best official live album from 1969-1971: BBC Sessions Best official live album from 1972: How The West Was Won Best official live album/DVD from 1973: The Song Remains The Same Best official live DVD from 1970-1979: Led Zeppelin DVD To neglect ANY official Led Zeppelin live releases is to fail. Edited for spelling errors. Edited November 5, 2008 by docron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huw Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Just to throw a spanner in the works, remember that there are many different versions of most dates that were bootlegged, not to mention the multiple official versions of TSRTS.... ...and most of them have got something to recomend them... As far as that last one (TSRTS) goes I'd say that everyone should have both versions of the CD (old one isn't as "produced" sounding, new one has more songs). On DVD the one to get is The Fan Edition (all the available songs, in the right order), but it's nice to be able to compare it both of nthe official releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuperDave Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Legitimate: How The West Was Won. Bootleg: Listen To This Eddie. In agreement as well. Listen To This Eddie is certainly the best sounding audience recording ever, with a performance to match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Harris Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hello,i have a question.I want to buy a Live CD. Which do you think is the best Live CD. Thank you for some answers I'd say How the west was won or the song remains the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldschool Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hello,i have a question.I want to buy a Live CD. Which do you think is the best Live CD. Thank you for some answers Offical CD= HTWWW....The mastering is a little over the top but great performances......... Official DVD 2003 box set...the 1970 RAH video is worth the price of admission alone.... bootlegCD= Fillmore West 4/27/69 I happen to like the EV release "Avocado Club"..LTTE 77 is a great recording and maybe Jimmy's best perfomrnace of the 77 tour but there nothing like the 69 shows when the band was at their peak.. Robert can hit all the high notes and Jimmy's playing is stellar....... DVD boot= Earls Court 5/25/75 Demand Unprecedented In The History Of Rock Music (Empress Valley Supreme Disk)...The video is excellent quality, the Band is still playing to a high standard and the EC shows are some of the tops of 75 tour........Again the 79 Knebworth shows are nice videos and the performances are underrated but lets face it Jimmy is not at his best during 77-80 period....

Ram4 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 My favorite live Zeppelin album is How The West Was Won, but I'm biased. Perhaps my all-time favorite concert was the 6/25/72 Los Angeles show and half of HTWWW is from that show. If I could have any live album of a Zep show, I probably would have wanted that one and I got it - so it's a no-brainer for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightyzep247 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I would recommend HTWWW definitely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
