Led Zeppelin Frankfurt 1980 North Bridge

Ep. 322 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a North Bridge remix/remaster of Led Zeppelin playing Frankfurt on June 30, 1980. This is a fun, very good show with flashes of magic. North Bridge did a hell of job fattening up the soundboard recording, and making it sound almost professionally recorded.

I play In the Evening (which benefits the most imo from the North Bridge treatment), Trampled Underfoot, and a glorious, fun, joyous, playful Whole Lotta Love with Jimmy playing sweet blues licks in the Boogie Mama section, along with a spontaneous performance of Frankfurt Special. This is a good one.

Ep. 321 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a show I covered in a two parter about 5 years ago. Led Zeppelin in Cleveland, Ohio on April 28, 1977. I’m revisiting it now because it’s an amazing show, worthy of another listen. The band is on and the power and mystery are on display. Bonzo seems locked in a little tighter, Jonesy seems a bit more front and center, and it makes for a glorious show.

I play The Song Remains the Same, Achilles Last Stand, and a rare encore performance of Trampled Underfoot. This is a fantastic gig and a very nice recording.

Led Zeppelin – Tucson 1972 Part 2

Ep. 320 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

You may be wondering about Part 1 of this series. No worries, I don’t blame you. Part 1 was a couple years back, Ep. 188. I play different songs so there’s no overlap if you want to 1, 2 it.

This is June 28, 1972 in Tucson Arizona (such a fine sight to see) which was the last show of the US 1972 tour. They’re playing Houses of the Holy material to an audience completely unfamiliar. Can you imagine hearing Over the Hills for the first time ever, and it’s live?

I play Over the Hills and Far Away, Dancing Days, and an epic Dazed and Confused which imo rivals the 25th (officially released).

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.

Led Zeppelin MSG 1977 North Bridge 2025

Ep. 317 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

North Bridge has released a new remix/remaster of Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden on June 7, 1977. This is the first night of their multi night residency in NYC. Jonesy’s bass is very well represented, with a fat tone missing from many 1977 boots.

I play Achilles Last Stand (Jonesy’s bass dude…) and an epic, eternal No Quarter with the Nutrocker included. It’s nuts. Then Bonzo and Jimmy go primal on the festivities, and we have another 1977 No Quarter in the books. Good stuff.

I like the instrument separation North Bridge attains through his remixing the stems extracted from the raw recording.

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. 313 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is an amazing send off for Robert Plant’s higher range. December 8, 1972 at the Hard Rock in Manchester, UK is a great performance of a great band reaching their peak. The recording is clear and nice, and the instruments are all well balanced and represented.

I play Since I’ve Been Loving You, and a raucous 27 minute Whole Lotta Love, with jams and medleys aplenty. It’s great. It’s 1972 Led Zeppelin. You should get the whole recording.

Led Zeppelin – Ottawa 1970

I was delighted to come across this wonderful recording through Led Zeppelin Boots’ amazing YouTube channel. April 14, 1970 had Led Zeppelin playing Ottawa, Alberta in a brilliant, exciting, explosive kaboom of awesomeness.

The tape itself in fragmentary and incomplete, but what’s here is gold. I play Dazed and Confused, Heartbreaker, and an incredible White Summer/Black Mountainside. This show was a delight!

Ep. 311 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

Boston was always a big Led Zeppelin town, starting back at the very beginning with the marathon Tea Party gigs, through this show right here. July 20, 1973 is the last time Zeppelin played Boston. The crowd is wild at this gig, so much so that the band eliminate Misty Mountain Hop, Since I’ve Been Loving You, and Moby Dick from the setlist. All to keep the crowd from going Chernobyl. No encores either.

I play Celebration Day, a smokin’ Stairway, and a brilliant No Quarter that presages the brilliance about to be recorded in NYC a week later.

Ep. 309 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This show, February 27, 1996, is the third to the last for Page/Plant’s No Quarter tour, and it is smokin’! The band hasn’t lost a step since their legendary Japanese shows of a few days prior. This is an excellent audience recording which maintains the high bar set in Japan, quality-wise.

I play a ridiculously hot In The Evening, and the two encores which took the roof off the place. Black Dog and Rock and Roll. The latter two are sung with Robert Plant going alllllll out; hitting notes one doesn’t expect. The band are in a great mood and the audience is locked in all the way. A great show with top of their game performances.
