Led Zeppelin Frankfurt 1980 Lirodendron Remaster

Ep. 248 – The Heat of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear a nice Liriodendron remaster of Led Zeppelin in Frankfurt June 30, 1980, on their Tour Over Europe. This remaster brings a much smoother, more professional balance to the soundboard, which makes it all the more fun to hear.
I play Trampled Underfoot, (one of the best) Achilles’ Last Stand, and a fun and rollicking Whole Lotta Love. They could still deliver in 1980 and they did.

Led Zeppelin – Vancouver 1975

Ep. 247 – The Heart of Markness Podcast

We hear a nice Master audience recording from Led Zeppelin from March 20, 1975 in Vancouver BC. This is a fun show with a powerful Jimmy Page, and I play In My Time Of Dying, Trampled Underfoot, and a funky, frenetic, Whole Lotta Love/Heartbreaker with a bunch of Lickin’ Stick to hold it together. A delightful show.

Led Zeppelin Osaka Oct 4 1972

Ep. 246 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We listen to tracks from Led Zeppelin’s second tour of Japan; specifically October 4, 1972 in Osaka. Robert’s voice is in the process of shifting from the high register of the early days to the lower range of the latter days (1973 and onwards), which can make for some interesting renditions.

We hear Over the Hills and Far Away, and instrumental Song Remains the Same (called the Campaign), and a boisterous Whole Lotta Love with medleys and jams for miles. Powerful show.

Led Zeppelin Vancouver BC July 18 1973

Ep. 245 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear Led Zeppelin in Vancouver BC July 18, 1973 in all their glory. This show is unique in that they had to stop early and take Robert to the hospital (they said) because he was tripping balls on LSD and after Stairway was done.
The show is still brilliant and we hear Misty Mountain Hop–>Since I’ve Been Loving You, and a sublime No Quarter, as well as the announcement about Robert’s condition.

Jimmy Page Hammersmith Outrider 1988

Ep. 244 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a lovely low gen recording from November 25, 1988 at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, in support of Jimmy Page’s Outrider album. This tour is incredible and should not be overlooked by Zep fans.

Jimmy Page, John Miles, Durban LaVerde, and Jason Bonham make a tight little unit cranking out Zeppelin tunes (for the first time since 1980), Firm tunes, Death Wish 2 tunes, and even a Yardbirds tune. Best of all Jimmy was playing like it was 1973 again, with fluidity and dexterity unseen for at least a decade.

Led Zeppelin NYC June 13, 1977 (3 Source Merge)

Ep. 243 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear from Led Zeppelin’s penultimate night of their 6 night run at Madison Square Garden, with a nice 3 source merge. I play Over The Hills, Going to California, and No Quarter (with a little Mary Poppins) to give a nice overview of the show. Good stuff all around. Loud and aggressive.

Led Zeppelin Brondby Denmark March 15 1969

Ep. 242 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a great recording of Led Zeppelin at Brondby DK March 15, 1969 (late show). A hungry young band plays the club with a ferocity and joy which remains unrivaled. I play Train, I Can’t Quit You, and a Dazed which is reminiscent of the album version. A joy.

Page/Plant New Orleans Oct 1, 1998 Pre-FM Source

Ep. 239 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear a scorching Page/Plant show, professionally recorded for broadcast on Westwood One) from October 1, 1998 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Everyone is on fire and Jimmy plays like a man possessed. I play Heartbreaker, Most High, and a blazing How Many More Times with Jimmy commanding his instrument like the virtuoso he is, esp when he and Robert go into a brilliant I Can’t Quit You, Baby in the middle, before jumping back into it. Really great stuff.
