Ep. 301 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

Only the first two songs of this show are publicly extant, and I always have love for the runt of the litter, so here we go! Led Zeppelin played Wallingford, Connecticut on August 17, 1969 and we are able to hear Train Kept A Rollin’ and I Can’t Quit You Baby, at least. Thank god for tapers!

Ep. 300 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

There’s a good reason I’m coming back to this show, after almost 5 years. Watchtower has released a version of this show in fantastic quality, without the noise reduction that muffled prior releases. It’s also one of the best shows from one of the best years of one of the best bands around. So there’s that.

This is band’s first night of their first Japanese tour and they’re out to impress the people of Tokyo. I play a superlative Since I’ve Been Loving You, which you should listen to right now. I also play an exceptional Stairway to Heaven with an amazing solo, and I finish with the small acoustic set of Bron-y-Aur Stomp, That’s the Way, and Going to California. The sound is fantastic as is the performance.
