We looked at this show a few years ago but I wanted to revisit Providence because it is such a kick ass show! We hear Celebration Day in which Jonesy is the star, Black Dog in which Robert’s voice is like that of a god, and Since I’ve Been Loving You in which Jimmy is first among equals.

This is the first of three legendary nights at the Boston Tea Party on Led Zeppelin’s very first tour of the states. January 23, 1969 is what we’re hearing. Wild, Chaotic, almost feral is how hungry young Led Zeppelin sound. Another way to describe it is ‘Holy Shit!’
I play Train Kept A’Rollin’ (from the Yardbird days), As Long as I Have (w/ Fresh Garbage & Bag’s Groove), and an embryonic Dazed and Confused. Incredible improvisation and musicianship are evident from the start.

This show is amazing. The sound quality is bassy with some distortion but DADGAD does a great job balancing this into a paradoxically well balanced/bass heavy recording. The music is magical and the band are locked and playing well.
Jimmy’s control and technique are in top form and all the musicians are listening, and responding, to each other as they jam. Magic is a word that applies here. I play a fun and tight In My Time of Dying and the longest No Quarter on record (33 minutes!), and it’s amazing!

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.

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.
