We listen to a stellar Mike Millard master recording of Led Zeppelin at the LA Forum on June 25, 1977. 46 years ago this week the band played an epic 5 nights at the Forum, and in recognition of this feat I play a couple of songs from one of those legendary gigs, one song being a 30 minute brilliant No Quarter. For real. Good stuff.

We hear a new revision of NiteOwl’s matrix of Led Zeppelin 8/31/69 at the Texas International Pop Festival. This time he’s demixed the bass and drums from the mono aud recording, and split/remixed them to sound more like a professional release, when mixed with the voice/guitar heavy soundboard recording. Another amazing piece. Sounds great!

January 15, 1973 Stoke UK. A great soundboard recording remastered and remixed by NakedEye25 to sound even better. We hear Dancing Days, Over The Hills, and Dazed.
A great show from a unique tour of small venues in the UK. It’s neat hearing the biggest band in the world playing 800 seat halls again.

We hear 4 songs from Led Zeppelin in Hiroshima on Sept. 27, 1971 on their first Japanese Tour. Great stuff on this tour and this show. I play Heartbreaker, Since I’ve Been Loving You, a 20 minute Whole Lotta Love w/ myriad medleys, and Communication Breakdown. Awesome and joyous.

The 1st of 3 nights at the Winterland in San Fran, Led Zeppelin are absolutely incendiary. This is April 25, 1969 and we’re nearing the end of telecaster Jimmy. We hear Train Kept A Rollin’, maybe the best You Shook Me ever (Robert’s voice!), and As Long As I Have which is a kitchen sink of covers and references (Bags Groove? Damn).
This is an amazing show of young hungry Zep leapt from the gate and reaching their stride.

We hear songs from Led Zeppelin’s June 17, 1980 tour opener in Dortmund Germany. The band were stripped down and ready to rock. We hear Nobody’s Fault But Mine, Trampled Underfoot, and a rollicking Whole Lotta Love/Heartbreaker combo.

This is the Grame Remaster tape with patching done by ZepHead315 with a 1st Gen AUD recording, bringing us the most complete recording of this rollicking show ever. This is 2/14/75 Uniondale NY and the band are in great form, and great spirits. No bitching about the snow or anything like that. It’s all libidinal paganism and rock and roll.
We hear Sick Again, an amazing No Quarter, and a badass Trampled Underfoot. You can download this complete concert right here: https://mega.nz/folder/i5MWQR4T#2zeSqogM_I84aFI5q1j-gg
We hear a super cool North Bridge remix/remaster matrix of the legendary 3/21/75 Led Zeppelin gig in Seattle. A magic night to be sure and it sounds even better with the release. We listen to three tracks from this sublime performance, and I hope you enjoy.

This is Led Zeppelin at the Newport Jazz Festival on July 6, 1969. The recording I use is a 2nd gen (M>Reel>Reel) from KRW_CO, and it’s pretty damn good. We hear Dazed and Confused (the crowd goes bonkers when Jimmy slaps the strings w/ his violin bow), You Shook Me (killer filthy slide), and a beautiful How Many More Times. There are some PA issues early on but the show is brilliant. Gotta love 1969 Led Zeppelin

July 9, 1973 St Paul Minnesota. A fun show with some wild playing by Jonesy and Bonzo. We hear a jazzy No Quarter and an epic Dazed and Confused for the ages. A great show from a great tour. An underappreciated show. Great playing all around.
