Bonus Episode – September 7, 1975 Mike Millard Master

Another Mike Millard master tape has been released by JEMS. Black Sabbath, Long Beach 9/7/75 is a heavy af show in support of the Sabotage album. Great stuff. Very guitar heavy mix. You’ll dig it.

Ep. 60 – The Heart of Markness Podcast

AWESOME MATRIX COMPILATION

The magnificent owner of the Led Zeppelin Rarities YouTube channel, Zach, has created something magickal. He has created matrix (soundboard/audience tape mix) compilation of Led Zeppelin’s early dates on their 1980 European Tour.

His work brings life, atmosphere, and fun to a tour that has been held in low regard for decades. The addictions, dysfunction, and schisms within the band were all reaching critical mass at this point, and it shows in the performances, which were done no favors by a batch of dry as fuck, uninteresting soundboard recordings, which highlighted issues such as Jimmy’s loss of ability, Robert’s ambivalence, and Bonzo’s loss of spark.

This compilation, Dancing in the Doldrums, shows a band coming back and starting to gel again, after a hideous trio of years. Bonzo is here in force as this is before his collapse in Nurenberg, and Jimmy is focused and intent on ‘cutting the waffle’ or losing all the bloat like 40 minute songs and long solos.

You can download this entire compilation off of Led Zeppelin Rarities’ YouTube channel. Enjoy.

August 9, 1990 – Mike Millard Master from JEMS

This is a very high energy fun show from Robert Plant supporting his Manic Nirvana album. He’s in great voice and his band is on top of their game. I play Nirvana, Wearing and Tearing, Hurting Kind, and Little by Little.

Led Zeppelin June 7th, 1977 MSG

By special request from a long time listener, and Patron, this episode features Led Zeppelin’s first of six nights at Madison Square Garden, NYC. June 7, 1977 is what Mimo wanted to hear and I can see why. It’s a powerhouse show and we hear it from a bass heavy (in a good way) soundboard recording.

August 14, 1983 Mike Millard Recording

We are blessed with another Mike Millard recording, courtesy of JEMS. David Bowie August 14, 1983, at the LA Forum. The Let’s Dance tour. Bowie’s first in 5 years. Wonderful sound as we listen to songs from Scary Monsters and Let’s Dance.

May 28, 1972 The Heart of Markness Podcast

This is an excellent warm up show to the big US Tour from which we got How The West Was Won. Highlights of this gig are Dazed and Confused, Heartbreaker, and a Whole Lotta Love with several unique songs in the medley.

The crowd is rowdy and they’re throwing firecrackers, so the band ditch Moby Dick, but the whole show is wonderful, and you download it for free right here: https://mega.nz/folder/D9shib5Z#qZdARnJ0P56UYnESWJzvYg
