Its not VH....cant wait to see who it tis....

BigFat Sammy, It is actually a DVD Audio disc.
You will need a DVD Player to play the disc in.

Preferably you have a nice speaker system to enjoy the full effect.

I want to partake in this club.


Am I too late?

[Hardrock69]

Will not play in my JVC DVD player. The JVC is only 2 years old.

Plays fine in WinDVD on my computer.

I will attempt a reburn and see if that solves my problem.

My personal preference also is that if I have a DVD audio of a Led Zeppelin show, I want to see a graphic on my screen of Led Zep, NOT something that makes one wonder if they got a Grateful Dead show by mistake.



All that said....Pagey is out of tune during the first song, and appears by end of the second song (where I am now) that he is living up to his reputation of being a sloppy player.

That said, the sound quality is fucking cool!

You cannot hope to get much closer to zero gen than this, certainly for a soundboard recording.

I would be interested in knowing what was used for the master recording. A cassette deck perhaps?

I am gonna go do some research here on this show.

Plant sounds like he is recovering from a cold or something.


Be right back.

[Hardrock69]

Jesus....during Black Dog Pagey is WAY the fuck out of tune....

This show was at Memorial Auditorium in Dallas.

In the book "Stairway To Heaven" written by their tour manager Richard Cole, the only thing mentioned about Dallas was that the promoters had rented a rather large house for them to stay in, but then had conveniently forgotten to pay the owner, who showed up late one night with a shotgun, telling them they could not have girls there, and who actually locked the gate to prevent them from leaving without paying him.

They piled into a car, and crashed through the gate, making their escape.

According to the old bio "Hammer Of The Gods", both the Dallas & Houston shows were sold out, and a trio of rich groupies had rented a Learjet to follow them around. They played Ft. Worth the night after this show.

Goddamn...Pagey is so out of tune on "Over The Hills & Far Away" it is not even funny.

I am still marveling over the great sound quality.

Despite the tuning problems and Plants slightly rough voice, you can hear everything extremely well.

Kudos to Alex for turning us onto this amazing show.

[Hardrock69]

By "Since I've Been Loving You" Plant starts to wail a bit.

Perhaps he just needed to warm up his voice.

Plant says afterwards "I can feel it getting better."

Apparently this show is known in bootleg circles as "Fractured Ribs", as John Paul Jones performed with fractured ribs that night, thouhg I can't find out how he fractured them.

Here is a review posted at this website (a listing of bad Led Zep performances):

http://users.adelphia.net/~despec/show_2.html

This show is plagued with a lot of uninspired play and a very bland soundboard recording that takes what little fun there is in this concert and makes it a bit depressing at times. Nevertheless, there are some good moments during SIBLY and DAC that need to be heard. It's amazing the play contrast between this night and the next night in Fort Worth. The performance is just not up to par with many other May shows (perhaps something to do with Jones' fractured ribs).




The show gets better as time goes on, though overall it is fairly uneven.

I am done with my review.

NEXT!

One is enough...

[Alex Mogilny]

Zeppelin was sloppy alot...but that is what I dig about the live shows.
Plus you get to hear some variations....like SF in Dazed and Confused.

They played like shit for this show...but I love it.

Sorry it didn't play in your DVD Player.....It plays in mine. I have a sony that's about 4 years old.

I hope no one else has this problem.

[Hardrock69]

Even on their worst night they were still LED FUCKING ZEPPELIN!

[Big Fat Sammy]

Sound quality is great!

Plant is a little rough here and there, but Page isn't sloppier than usual (I've heard much worse, like Cleveland 77)...and Bonzo and JPJ hold it together as they always do.

I prefer later era LZ...but this is cool, because of what Alex said...the variation.

Thanks!

[Hardrock69]

They produced an amazing version of Dazed & Confused that night....man...it blew my mind

AGAIN!!!

Anybody else get their copies?

I received my copy (thanks!) and gave it a quick listen...I've been really busy.

Most of the major points have been said. It's a great show. Excellent sound quality.

For Zep...live is live. I rarely expect "unsloppiness" when listening to one of their live shows.

That's somewhat the appeal. I don't have many of their studio albums... I like hearing them live, though...because I'm going to get the unexpected.

It's the ol' "How do we feel playing this tonight, boys?" mentality... I'll let a couple of my buddies take a listen and see what they think.

Hey everyone Lou has access to Zeppelin Masters! They are on his trade list.

If you read those lineages and think that means lou has the masters and DAT's, then who's the cunt that can't figure out lineages, you prick.

You need to learn how to read.

Go back and drink Lou's kool aid.
