Led Zeppelin Fillmore April 26, 1969 Upgrade

Ep. 254 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast: First Live Whole Lotta Love

This is one of the all time best concerts ever. Led Zeppelin at the Fillmore April 26, 1969 upgraded from a 1st VHS source. We witness the end of the telecaster era, the penultimate As Long As I Have You, an unreal How Many More Times, and the first extant performance of Whole Lotta Love, ever!
This show is perfect. It goes to eleven.

Led Zeppelin Jan 10, 1969 San Francisco

Ep. 254 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a show I’ve covered in the long long ago, but I was listening to it and wanted to share more of the brilliance from hungry young Zeppelin. January 10, 1969 at the Fillmore West. These early shows are wild and feral, from a band that is completely unknown. Zep I hasn’t been released yet. No one knows anything about these guys, until they take the stage. Then it’s kaboom.

I play Train Kept A Rollin’ into I Can’t Quit You, Killing Floor (unreal), and How Many More Times from the Mines of Moriah. We finish with a very cool Yardbird’s track, For Your Love. Doesn’t get much better. They even call out Keith Relf which is pretty cool.

Led Zeppelin Brondby Denmark March 15 1969

Ep. 242 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a great recording of Led Zeppelin at Brondby DK March 15, 1969 (late show). A hungry young band plays the club with a ferocity and joy which remains unrivaled. I play Train, I Can’t Quit You, and a Dazed which is reminiscent of the album version. A joy.

Led Zeppelin Texas Pop 8/31/69 New Matrix/Demix

Ep. 220 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast.

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!

Led Zeppelin 4/25/69 Winterland

Ep. 215 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

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.

Led Zeppelin – Newport Jazz Festival 1969 2nd Gen

Ep. 207 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

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

Led Zeppelin Cleveland July 20, 1969

Ep. 173 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear a nice 2nd gen of Zep at Musicarnival on July 20, 1969 in Cleveland. This is a heavy bluesy Les Paul kinda affair with lighthearted banter and amazing amazing talent. We hear You Shook Me and How Many More Times. Sexy summer fun.

Jan. 26, 1969 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear a nice upgrade from KRW_CO to Jan 26, 1969, the legendary Boston Tea Party gig that lasted 4 hours. We hear a wild band with a frenetic Jimmy Page, winning over the Boston Crowd. A Legendary show which sounds even better now.
