Ep. 316 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

You can imagine my delight when I saw that Led Zeppelin Boots had created an updated edition of the 1975 soundboard compilation that’d been around for a bit. Choosing tracks from the extant soundboard tapes, Boots crafted a very enjoyable listener. You can think of it as a sampler. You get a taste of each show represented.

I play Sick Again from 3/21 Seattle, Levee from 1/18 Bloomington, and Kashmir from 2/28 Baton Rouge.

Ep. 314 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

I can’t believe the Earl’s Court shows are 50 years old! Jesus. For this episode I am featuring an audience compilation of the best of all five nights. I play In My Time of Dying from the May 25th, Tangerine from the 18th (great harmonies from all 4 gents), and Heartbreaker & Communication Breakdown, both from the 25th. Dave Lewis has written the definitive chronicle of these historic shows, which you can get from him right here: http://www.tightbutloose.co.uk/five-glorious-nights-led-zeppelin-at-earls-court-may-1975-revised-expanded-version-a-photographic-record-compiled-by-dave-lewis-order-details-here/

Ep. 285 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

I find this to be my favorite of the 5 nights at Freddy’s Earls Court. Jimmy is playing with passion and dexterity. One of his best 1975 shows, imo. I’m playing a source mix making an excellent, complete recording. These excellent audience tapes allow us to hear Tangerine with the four part harmony, unlike on the videos which only had Robert’s voice. That alone makes this show pretty dang okey dokey, but I’ve included a white hot Over The Hills And Far Way (Jimmy is spectacular), and one of the best No Quarters I’ve heard in a bit. Again, Jimmy is rolling 20’s throughout and sticking every landing, solo-wise. His inspiration and his dexterity were both at their best.

Three songs. One great podcast. It’s a good thing.

Bonus Episode: The Heart of Markness Classic Rock Podcast

This is a fantastic recording of The Rolling Stones at the LA Forum, July 9, 1975. St. Michael Millard is the taper so the sound is out of this world. The Stones are also pretty darn great.

This is Ronnie Wood’s first tour with the Stones and he brings energy, fun, and a good bit of skill to the band. They sound revitalized. Billy Preston is with them as well, bringing a funkiness to the proceedings.

This is an incredible recording from Saint Mike Millard on his blessed Nakamichi, of Led Zeppelin at the LA Forum on March 27, 1975. This is one of the legendary marathon shows, running more than 3 hours, in gorgeous full stereo. This is a fresh transfer made by JEMS and lightly mastered by DADGAD. It’s a keeper for sure.

I play a funky Over The Hills and Far Away and glorious improvisational No Quarter for us, as a taster for the full show, which is available below. Jonesy and Bonzo are perfectly synced in this amazing recording. You’ll dig it.

Ep. 257 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is an absolutely delightful 1975 Led Zeppelin concert. 2/12/75 in New York City we hear an excellent audience recording from Jerry Moore, who made a great recording. Jimmy is pretty on top of his game, broken finger notwithstanding. Robert is in great spirits, and Jonesy and Bonzo are locked in tighter than a tourniquet.

We hear Sick Again (super tight and Robert has a good time), Over the Hills (super awesome with a unique solo from Jimmy with him stretching out with some great licks). We finish up with a badass performance of Kashmir. Sounds like the Les Paul to me, too, so it’s extra meaty. Jimmy has some really nice riffs and licks in this. The wings are still wet on this song, so it’s nice to hear them groove around a little as they work out the final form.

Ep. 247 – The Heart of Markness Podcast

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.

Ep. 237 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is one of the best nights of Led Zeppelin’s 1975 US tour. March 12, 1975 in Long Beach has all four cylinders blazing. We hear a fresh transfer from the 3rd Source master tapes, and they sound great!
A supernal No Quarter and Heartbreaker are heard; the latter containing a rockin’ I’m A Man jam. This is a magic nigh

Ep. 227 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

By request we hear Led Zeppelin from March 14, 1975 in San Diego, taped in excellent stereo by Mike Millard. I play fun, fiery versions of Trampled Underfoot, In My Time of Dying, and Sick Again. Good stuff, folks.

Ep. 208 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear a super cool North Bridge remix/remaster matrix of the legendary 3/21/75 Led Zeppelin gig in Seattle. A magic night to be sure and it sounds even better with the release. We listen to three tracks from this sublime performance, and I hope you enjoy.
