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.

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.

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.
