Mothership - Led Zeppelin - 2007

Mothership-- a collection of 24 of Led Zeppelin's "greatest hits," remastered and selected by the band's three remaining members (Page, as well as Robert Plant and John Paul Jones)-- might be conceptually flawed, but it's hard to argue against songs as indisputably great as these. Mothership is not the first time Page has participated in the distillation of his own work: In 1990, a decade after John Bonham downed his last shot of vodka, Page curated an eponymous boxset (known, in fan parlance, as Crop Circles) which saw their eight-album discography distilled to four perfect CDs. And in 2002, Atlantic released Early Days and Latter Days: Volumes 1 and 2 (each previously available as a single purchase, in 1999 and 2000, respectively), a Page-condoned collection of 23 tracks which awesomely featured all four members of Led Zeppelin on the cover, dressed in giant American space suits and perched casually in front of an illustrated moonscape. Early Days and Latter Days has a tracklist similar to Mothership (the latter adds "D'yer Mak'er", "Over the Hills and Far Away", "Heartbreaker", and "Ramble On", but loses "Ten Years Gone", "What Is and What Should Never Be", and "The Battle of Evermore") so, clearly, the idea of Led Zeppelin's greatest hits is contentious even for the band itself.

Fans will probably argue over Led Zeppelin's selections-- omitting "What Is and What Should Never Be" feels unforgivable-- and it seems obvious that Page, Plant, and Jones were striving hard to represent every last phase of their career: Some work from the band's crucial 1969-1975 era is sacrificed for late-career tokens like the comparably-mediocre "In The Evening" (itself a curious selection, given the relative popularity of In Through the Out Door's "Fool in the Rain", which was the band's last release to make the pop single charts). Still, content-critiquing aside, the remastering on Mothership is no small achievement, and it sounds revelatory on even the shittiest stereos. Check Bonham's pitter-pattering in the verses of "Ramble On", or the still-intact fuzz at the top of "Immigrant Song", or the tiny percussive "fwwpts" on "D'yer Mak'er", or the restored outro to "Over the Hills and Far Away". Twist your volume knob heavenward and embrace Plant's inescapable geekiness, yelping about Gollum and Mordor; chug booze and air-drum with John Bonham: Led Zeppelin sound as tremendous in 2007 as they did in 1972.Mothership offers no bonus content or previously unreleased material. It serves, mainly, as an introduction for those (presumably out of classic rock radio range) still unfamiliar with the band. Longtime fans will find little of use here, although anyone who spends a couple hours with Mothership will find themselves duly reminded that Led Zeppelin are quite possibly the finest rock band of all time.

The Garden Tapes - Led Zeppelin - 1973

Good morning boys and girls. Well, I just got myself the new remastered and expanded version of Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains The Same", ran home with it, popped it in the stereo full of anticipation. It was the biggest deception since I got the real story about Santa!

As soon as it started I knew we were in for trouble...Rock & Roll started...It was the film version, not the old soundtrack album version, but we soldiered on thru it, No Quarter is again the film version (butchered to death, guitar solo sliced and diced...that wonderful crescendo gone!..full 2 minutes shorter!!!) ditto for Dazed And Confused...And people what happened to the whistle in Stairway To Heaven... I grew up with this album... that whistle is part of my youth!!! And by the way... what the fraq is that flanger on Moby Dick?

Plus points... Over The Hills And Far Away, Heartbreaker and The Ocean...That's ear candy, and then again why did they stick The Ocean at the end of disc one instead of leaving it where it belongs as an encore... I guess this new remastered edition will be great if you are new to Led Zeppelin, and by all means it sounds great!, but if you grew up with the original vinyl version and you can air guitar that No Quarter solo note by note, no let me rephrase that... If you can air guitar that whole original album note by note (and even worse if you are an anal retentive collector of Zeppelin live recordings like I am) then the new remastered and expanded The Song Remains The Same will be a painful affair. One last piece of advise... do not throw that old version away!

Now that I'm done beeing an grumpy old man, here are for you the 3 nites at the Gardes... And if you want to do some interesting reading regarding how these 3 nites ended up as the original soundtrack of The Song Remains The Same, go here: http://www.thegardentapes.co.uk/

Mickboy is famous for his reworking of the Rolling Stones catalog, though he's done a great job working over George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, and he's done at least one Led Zeppelin - this one.

Few people know who Mickboy is, and not very many know exactly what it is he does. Obviously he doesn't have access to the master tapes, so it's not really a 'remaster', it's certain that he does a 'needle drop'. He buys the best quality vinyl available - that's a plus right there - takes it into a studio and EQ's the hell out of it probably, and who knows what all else he does. It's not just EQ'ing that's for sure.

Unlike Dr. Ebbet's needle drops of the old Beatles LP's, Mickboy's goal isn't to faithfully reproduce what's on the viny, he enhances the sound in many subtle ways. Whether this is a good thing or not, whether his 'remaster' is better-sounding or just different-sounding, that's for you to judge. To my ears this job he did on Led Zep 4 is stupendous. Man it just sounds awesome. The whole thing sounds fuller, warmer, and more clear and vibrant than the original. Included are two bonus tracks - Hey Hey What Can I Do and an acoustic version of Black Dog - both worked over by the Mickboy!

Led Zeppelin - 1973-01-22 The Great Lost Album (3CD)

Live At The Old Refectory, Southampton University, Southampton,1973.01.22
Deluxe Edition: "The Great Lost Live Album"

Led Zeppelin’s January 22nd, 1973 at the Student Union building at Southampton University follows their show at the Gaumont Theater, also in Southampton, the previous evening. It seems Jimmy Page thought it might be a good idea to play in a smaller venue and record it for a live album. For reasons that are unknown, the album was never released and sat in the archives for thirty years. When Page and producer Kevin Shirley were working on the DVD and How The West Was Won projects in 2002, this tape was considered for possible use. Although it wasn’t used on that project, through some means the working multi-track tapes circulated and have been with the labels in Japan for some time. A couple months ago the tape was posted online in anticipation of the silver releases that were scheduled to come out. The Great Lost Live Album is the first of what will surely be many silver releases that will see the light of day over the coming months. Compared to the internet version, Nasty Music sounds much brighter with the emphasis on the higher frequencies, whereas the internet version has a much deeper bass. Nasty Music has as similar timbre to the KBFH tapes and not as constricted as the online version, which might not be to everyone’s taste. Many Zeppelin collectors like to hear an emphasis on the bottom end, but there times, like the beginning of “Dancing Days,” where the bass is too loud in the mix and that particular passage isn’t a concern on this. Early word on The Great Lost Live Album claims to have gaps between the songs. After listening to the three discs, there are none so that isn’t a concern.

Nasty Music is also more complete than what was posted online. For example three Plantations, before “Black Dog,” “Dancing Days,” and “How Many More Times” are present on this release but missing from the internet version as is Robert Plant’s dedication of “Dazed & Confused” to the manager of the Gaumont Theater. “Thank You,” which is missing the very end, is complete on the silver. The actual performance itself has come under some criticism with many collectors which is unfair. Any concert will have its highlights and cringe-worthy moments, and this is not an exception. What is fascinating to hear is Plant’s interaction with a crowd that is estimated to be about four hundred. “Rock And Roll” sounds a bit sluggish, but the following song “Over The Hills And Far Away” is very good with an animated solo by Page in the middle. Before “Black Dog” Plant says, “And it’s a good evening. I believe we came here before. I don’t know if it was as warm then. We’re going to have a good time tonight. This is about a Labrador who became rather - rather dodgy with lumbago. The only thing he could do was boogie. He was a black dog. Black Dog!” The “Misty Mountain Hop” and “Since I’ve Been Loving You” pairing follows immediately afterwards. Before “Dancing Days” Plant explains, “This is a bastard actually. This is a track from the new album. It’s a track that was written in the height of last year’s summer on July 6th. It’s a song about school days and little boys that never grow up. It’s called ‘Dancing Days’.” This is usually a great live piece but this version sounds tired with Page playing a bland solo at the song’s conclusion.

“Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp,” which normally follows “Dancing Days,” is dropped: “we don’t know it to be honest,” Plant explains. “Besides we can’t maneuver about.” The band play another new song, “The Song Remains The Same” instead. The right channel of the stereo flickers at eleven seconds into the track and becomes a bit weak at twenty-two seconds, but improves soon afterwards with another flicker at 2:51. at the end of “The Rain Song” Plant says, “That was John Paul Jones, ably assisted by the Haleigh Orchestra which we managed to press into this small 3 X 26 box.” A power surge can be heard on the tape and there is a short delay while the roadies work on wiring onstage. Page plays a bit of the Tarantella while Plant caution “you can get a shock you know, Cerano.” Plant jokes with the audience about the show the previous evening at the Gaumont Theater before the band play a twenty-eight minute version of “Dazed And Confused.” The recording preserves the dynamics of the piece and the song is very enjoyable in this show. Plant is out of tempo during the “San Francisco” section and Page takes his time finding his violin bow. Bonham plays the cymbals under Plant’s moans in the interim before the violin bow section begins. The sounds are soft, reminiscent of the Liverpool tape, but also very creepy. “Whole Lotta Love” lasts for a half hour and the medley is typical for this tour with no surprises. There is a small cut on the tape at 19:47. They play the longest set of encores of the tour. “Heartbreaker” is first followed by the John Paul Jones mellotron arrangement of “Thank You,” This is an experiment he first introduced in Nagoya the previous October and played it several times since, but this is the best recording we have of this unusual piece.

At the song’s end Page plays some pretty figures on the guitar before Plant introduces the next number. “This is one of our early tunes and God knows if we can remember it.” They play an eight minute version of “How Many More Times” for the first time in two year and this segues directly with the final encore of the night “Communication Breakdown.” The third disc is a limited edition bonus with various material. The first tape is the short rehearsal fragment from the Southampton University gig. This has been released numerous times and is in excellent quality. The second is the soundboard fragment from the January 18th Bradford gig several nights before, containing “Dazed And Confused,” “Whole Lotta Love,” and the final encore “Immigrant Song.” Heart Attack (Condor 1997) and Elvis Presley Has Just Left The Building (LZ6897-281) are two very early releases containing both “Dazed & Confused” and “Whole Lotta Love.” “Immigrant Song” appeared on two earlier releases, April Fool’s Day (LZ 05) and Tight But Loose (Saka ZLCD 385). Falling In Love With The Fallen Angel (Led Note LCD 1507) is the first release to put them all together on the same release in 1999 and it hasn’t been released since. So for those who don’t have the Led Note the bonus isn’t as pointless as it seems. The quality is excellent as well and the performance is very good as well. “Whole Lotta Love” is particularly brutal and this is the final time Led Zeppelin ever performed “Immigrant Song” in concert. The Great Lost Live Album is packaged in a fatboy jewel case with simple but effective artwork with rare photos of the gig. It will be interesting to see how Nasty Music stands up against Empress Valley and other future releases, but this is a very nice release. (GS)

Addendum: The download version of the Southampton 73 SBD from Presence (and now on every download site in the World!) has those missing Plantations you refer to in the review. That version has numerous glitches and feedback blips which I spent last night removing in Adobe audition. Regards, and keep up the great work, Jules McTrainspotter

Cumular Limit is an album of previously unreleased live and studio recordings by English blues rock band The Yardbirds released in 2000. It features alternate versions of recordings from Little Games (#1, 6-9), live-recordings from Offenbach, 16 March 1967 (#2-5) and France TV ("Bouton Rouge", 9 March 1968[1], #14) and previously unreleased material from New York (#10-13).

For those Yardbirds fans who might be wondering if this release is scraping the bottom of the barrel somewhat, take note: "Cumular Limit" is nearly as essential as any of their other releases. Its purpose is to round out the previous "Little Games And More" set with recently-found material from their final 1968 studio sessions and a superb March '67 live TV appearance that appears in audio on the first disc and video on the second. The TV appearance, in which the Page-led lineup runs through blistering renditions of "Shapes", "Over Under", "Happenings" and an elongated, psychedelic "I'm A Man" (note the dancing audiences' confused reaction during the bowed guitar section!) prove that the group were still playing in peak form at this time, forging the heavy sound which would make Led Zeppelin legendary. The April '68 sessions are equally revelatory, as the group works on four tracks for their projected next studio album; freed from the restraints of producer Mickey Most that had made the previous "Little Games" a disappointment, the band turns out the lost power-pop classic "Avron Knows", the acoustic-flamenco gem "Spanish Blood", a decent singalong version of "My Baby" and the riff based rocker "Taking A Hold On Me". Page is on fire throughout, esp during "Spanish Blood" and at the end of "Avron Knows"; his fuzz and wah-wah playing also transforms the other two from standard to inspired. McCarty makes some experimental vocal contributions to "Spanish Blood" and a less-than-thrilling performance on "Taking A Hold On Me", although the latter would no doubt have been re-recorded by Relf. These cuts, which sound superb and surprisingly complete, were to be Page's last studio work before forming Led Zeppelin. As a bonus, the set also includes a live '68 TV rendition of "Dazed And Confused", another track which would probably have been recorded for the projected album, which yields a different lyric from the familiar Zeppelin take but is otherwise the exact same thrilling arrangement. "Cumular Limit" is rounded out by a few alternate versions from the '67 "Little Games" sessions; a few of these like "You Stole My Love" and "White Summer" are repeated from the earlier CD release but still sound good within the context of this one. In all, the set is worth it just to hear Page's playing alone; the songs themselves (esp "Avron Knows" and "Dazed And Confused", as well as the four on the TV appearance) are also great and with this release it now looks like all of the group's available material has been made officially available.

This concert is quite rightly regarded as one of the very best in Led Zeppelin's Live career. There have been countless releases on CD by numerous labels, and it is unlikely this release will be the last. what one can say about this release however is first and foremost it is in really excellent mono sound (with a little bit of the stereo audience recording to make it more complete). The main source is a first generation mono audience recording (the source of the classic Blimp/Trade Mark of Quality original vinyl release Live On Blueberry Hill, the same source as used by Neutral Zone in their pioneering 2 CD release way back in 1989, also called Live On Blueberry Hill. The sound is wonderful, and no EQ was applied to the tape, so an incredible achievement by the intrepid taper on that early September evening in 1970 at the Forum in Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles. The mono sound on this new release is very well balanced and mixed between vocals and instruments, it really is a joy to hear this concert in the very best possible sound.

A nearly complete soundboard from 1977 appears, pulled out of the hat by Empress Valley once again. This time they have done an excellent job, and neatly filled the gaps with the audience recording. This was the second of five nights in Landover, and a better performance than the opening night. There are some real highlights in playing tonight, so this release is an extremely welcome addition to the Live Concert repertoire. The first disc is a completely new SBD recording However a cut in the SBD tape on track 6 (No Quarter), from 3.35 to 4.20 minutes has been neatly filled from the audience recording. The second disc is virtually all SBD, except on track 6 (Bron-yr-Aur Stomp), where the gap has been again neatly filled from the audience recording from 0.42 to 2.45 minutes into the song. The third disc has a fair chunk of Moby Dick missing (track 1), from 25.40 to 35.17 minutes into the number, which has again been plugged with the audience tape. Finally the very end of the concert after the group have left the stage, on track 6, starting at 4.39 minutes, until the end at 6.22, has been filled from the audience recording (with good comments from the taper and his friends, hats off to them!). This is a raw soundboard, although all instruments/vocals are fairly well balanced. So it is different from the Madison Square Garden soundboard from 12 February 1975, which Empress Valley released as Led Zeppelin's Flying Circus. That was a professionally mixed recording (by the legendary Eddie Kramer). However the good thing about this Landover soundboard is the prominence of the bass guitar and the drums of John Bonham. In fact you can hear numerous comments from the great man throughout the concert, which is nice. He rather enthusiastically enters Achilles Last Stand before all the guitar sound effects that end Jimmy Page's solo have finished, and the maestro launches into the opening guitar riff. We tend to focus on Jimmy Page and his wonderful guitar playing, and Robert Plant's amazing vocals, but the real power and driving force of Led Zeppelin was of course John Paul Jones and the incredible drums from John Bonham. There is nobody on Earth that could ever replace John Bonham, he was a totally unique and quite incredibly astounding drummer. This release therefore is a most welcome addition, one that all fans should seek out. The packaging is nice, similar to the same label's Florida Sunshine, a hard backed gatefold, the CDs being housed in card sleeves inside. For a change, full marks go to Empress Valley on their treatment of this show.

L’Olympia from Wendy is the latest in the string of releases featuring the recent rebroadcast of Led Zeppelin’s Paris show from October 10, 1969.

1969 was a time in Zeppelin’s career where every show was full of highlights and worthy of collecting and this show is certainly no exception. The sound quality is absolutely superb. It has to be heard to be believed! I cannot recommend this recording enough.

“Communication Breakdown” contains the same jam as the 6/27/69 BBC recording but without the “It’s Your Thing” reference. “I Can’t Quit You Baby” has a few seconds of Jimmy’s solo removed to avoid the announcer and was nicely done. This is the earliest known version of “Heartbreaker” and Page launches right into the solo without hesitation. “White Summer” is an excellent inspired version by Page and the recording captures Bonham’s percussion nicely. “How Many More Times” has great moments in the jam section where you can tell the band is truly winging it. Overall, the band is really loose and gives a very powerful performance.

Compared to the no-label version Wendy is louder and livelier sounding.

Having a DJ talk over parts of the music can be rather annoying but Wendy's choice to leave the broadcast intact was a wise one. Tarantura is set to release another version from the unedited source but with so many other titles already out there, I really don’t see the point. Wendy packaged L’Olympia in a full color tri-fold paper case with early live shots of the band and is a beautiful title to own.

First of six sold out nights at the Forum, and a great show. The Song Remains The Same, Sick Again, Kashmir and Achilles Last Stand are devastating and No Quarter is just the greatest version ever heard! John Bonham was introduced by Plant as "...the man who fought food poisoning and drunk Heineken...". A great show and not merely an opening night, but a great show in its own right. It also comes from the best audience recording ever! In fact the Millard tape sound so great Jimmy used the fragment on the official DVD!


News report: LED ZEPPELIN OPEN RECORD RUN AT THE FORUM

Led Zeppelin painted a mural of musical abstractions for 18,000 screaming fans, who buried the first five minutes of the show in continuous applause.

Zeppelin, acknowledged as the world's hottest rock group, finally made it to the Inglewood Forum Tuesday night in the most touted Southland concert since the Rolling Stones. They opened a six-concert stand and will play to 108,000 people - a Forum record.

The British quartet liberally dipped an artistic paint brush into a tasty serving of music which spanned the group's 10-year history. The sight of lead singer Robert Plant, his body absorbing the driving tempo of John Bonham's drum rhythms, brought the crowd to its feet. Plant clearly has made it back after a near-fatal automobile accident which almost ended his career and forced the group into a two-year layoff. He strutted around the stage, blond mane shaking; in crazy tempos, hand on hip and bristling with energy.

They opened with "The Song Remains the Same," the title cut from their latest album for Swan Song. At one point, Plant threw back his head, thrust the microphone against his mouth and yelled. "We finally made it. Last time we were here (the Forum) we played with Bad Company. Tonight — no beating around the bush, we're gonna play 'cause that's what we're here for." And that's exactly what they did for a marathon three-hour set.

Lead guitarist Jimmy Page sizzled. He moved as if he were a puppet on a string, egging the audience on as he wound around the stage like a rubber snake held up by strings. The versatile Page was bathed in laser lights during a rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner," a la Jimi Hendrix, but with the staccato phrasing that typifies the Zeppelin style.

Earlier, Page displayed his musical flexibility by playing mandolin in an acoustic portion of the show which saw John Paul Jones etch out some interesting work on a three-neck guitar. Jones, opening on bass, was cool and unassuming, but got down to fast action for a portion of his keyboard solo.

It took a mere 40 minutes to sell out the tickets for five nights at the Forum. Another night was added later. It too sold out within minutes. (The Telegram - June 1977)

A really erratic night, especially from Jimmy. He totally botches The Song Remains The Same, and then delivers some excellent playing on Sick Again, Since I've Been Loving You, and No Quarter. Achilles Last Stand is rushed and Jimmy almost forgets the solo, throwing everyone's timing off. How they recover is quite exciting though! The Stairway To Heaven solo from him is exquisite. All in all, the most erratic LA show, probably the worst one out of the six nights but still a very good show. The rest of the band seems fine.

An excellent show ... a famous Badge Holders show due to Plant's several dedications to the badge holder people ... with the whole band firing on all cylinders! It is the only known show from 1977 tour when the band stopped after the first song. The peculiar stop is brief and Robert doesn't offer any hints. Perhaps a guitar change was neccessary. Jimmy's soloing during Since I've Been Loving You, Achilles Last Stand, and Ten Years Gone in particular, is amazing. Keith Moon joins in to make this already classic show legendary in stature. Just listen for a very crazed sounding yelling over the beginning of Bonham's drum solo: "The best rock and roll drummer in the world ... living today! Mr John Bonham! With Buddy Rich's arms!" He says more after that, but I can never quite make out just what it is because he seems to trail off into a noise of swearing and yelling, which conjures up cartoon images of the Tazmanian Devil or even (perhaps more appropriately) Animal from the Muppets. But that's Keith Moon for you! He also appeared before the encores. "LA. It's been very funny. Good night!" and the show was over.

What an incredible show, and Jimmy in particular is playing some of the best guitar of the tour! The entire band is in a no nonsense mood, playing the best they can. No Quarter and Ten Years Gone are beautiful and Achilles Last Stand and Stairway To Heaven are exquisite. Jimmy's solo in Trampled Underfoot is one of the best he's ever done on that song and the funky Communication Breakdown encore caps what is probably one the best of the six LA Forum shows.

Another amazing show from this run! The playing and singing are top notch and everything is concentrated on the music. No Quarter is amazing with great improvisations and the acoustic section is long and spontaneous, with That's Alright Mama being dropped in complete with a slide guitar solo! Jimmy's solo is great and long, with several unusual sections that sound exciting and build the tension before Achilles Last Stand blows it all apart. A great solo and jam section in Stairway To Heaven and a rocking and excellent encore of It'll Be Me close one of the best 1977 shows ever.

An endless epic concert closes out the six night stand at the Forum, and Led Zeppelin start off slow but by the middle they reach a great height, although they do seem to be a little tired at the end. The 40 minute No Quarter contains some great improvisation and Ten Years Gone is really epic. A wild and spontaneous acoustic section is the centerpiece of this show and a riotous and funky Trampled Underfoot is a welcome addition to the concert. Jimmy solo is nearly 30 minutes long and is fairly enjoyable, although his tuning in the middle helps give the impression that it is rather wandering, and Achilles Last Stand is sloppier than most versions. A great end to the saga though!

Stairways To Heaven - Various Artistes.

I am here to tell you that there is clearly no middle ground on this album. You either love "Stairways to Heaven," with its dozen different versions of the consensus choice of greatest rock and roll song of all time or you look at people who love this album as if their brains had melted and were oozing out of their ears. But then I had a teacher who played Spike Jones in grade school, I grew up on the Smothers Brothers, got hooked on Tom Lehrer and thoroughly enjoy Weird Al Yankovic. Add to my vote for Led Zeppelin as the greatest rock and roll band since the Beatles and why wouldn't I love this album? It is even better than the first Dread Zeppelin album. But then, I recall once hearing on the radio the infamous song that set the lyrics to "The Ballad of Gilligan's Island" to "Stairway to Heaven," so my mind was warped in this direction a long time ago.

The contents of this album are easily reduced to a single declarative sentence. One dozen versions of Led Zeppelin's classic "Stairway to Heaven" done in the (mostly) notable styles of different musical groups. This album was produced in Australian and is a major reason they were awarded the Summer Olympics (which took place just after the Australian winter). If you prefer early Beatles there is a "I Want to Hold Your Hand" style version by The Beatnix as well as a "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" version done by Robyne Dunn for those who prefer the later work of the Liverpool lads. There is Elvis in a "Blue Hawaii" mood courtesy of Neil Pepper and a dignified Moody Blues poetry reading from Leonard Teale that appropriately closes out the album. The Rock Lobsters do a B-52's take on the song while the Australian Doors Show do, well, you should be able to figure it out. John Paul Young does a disco version, the Vegimite Reggae a reggae version, Kate Ceberano and The Ministry of Fun a sulty soul version. Sandra Hahn and Michael Turkic tackle an operatic duet, Pardon Me Boys a Be-Bop duet, and Rolf Harris is just out in the outback doing whatever comes into his fertile little mind ("All together now!"). Jimmy Page might have played his guitar with a violin bow, but you must admit he never tried playing a saw.

I have yet to grow tired of listening to this album and have found a great way of having fun with it at the expense of others. Simply go up to a family member, friend, co-worker or somebody walking down the street with a CD player and ask them to pick their three favorite groups a list that covers the above. When they have made their choices, from Early Beatles to Joan Sutherland (note the Australian reference in keeping with the origin of this CD down under), play the appropriate trio of tracks from "Stairways to Heaven." Watch their faces contort as they go from confusion to understanding, from amusement to trepidation, and from familiarity to contempt. And when they have turned their backs on you, just remember: "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold . . ."

Japanese bootleg and one of my all time favorites! It's packaged in a deluxe glossy cardboard sleeve made to look like an original "In Through In The Out Door" release with all six different covers, wrapped in a brown paper bag.

Also, there are few promotional copies made as a set of all six different covers spliced together as a one piece (reported to be only 25 copies!).

Very rare with the expception of promotional copies, which are extremely rare. Normal issue is in a limited edition of few hundred copies. Includes sticker.

If you are lucky enough to find one - buy it!

"How Many More Times" is also in its post-edited state and not as inclusive as the BBC Session-era mix from 1997, as found on EV's Lost Mixes Vol 7.

(Soundboard)

The balance is much better than most from this period. This is truly a marvelous night, done justice only when the fragmentary Soundboard tape saw the light. Fortunately,the remaining fragments are probably the Hottest part of the concert! Plant is still in low voice, but recouperating; he really scares the hell out of everybody in a sudden crescendo during Dazed & Confused. In riff after riff Page flies, sometimes losing the thread,only to find it again in a renewed and inspired improvisation. In the meantime,Bonham is the perfect sewing machine. This is more evident in the final section when Bonham pulls out every conceivable rhythm pattern,carrying Mr.Page wherever he pleases. It's more like a roller coaster for lack of a better description;the return to the main theme after the madness is like falling from a great height into a thick mattress. For any Led Zeppelin fan,this Soundboard recording is a MUST!

Live On Blueberry Hill - Led Zeppelin - September 4th, 1970

Cobra Premium Series issue 15 tracks on 2 CDs @ 320 kbps. A- level soundboard.

Los Angeles, 1970: Led Zeppelin perform a powerful set of songs (prior to recording Zeppelin III) comprised of heavy blues numbers and a dense onslaught of rock & roll. While the sound clarity is adequate at times, at other moments the sound is faint and simply flat -- common flaws in bootleg recordings from this era. Still, the music on Blueberry Hill packs a punch.
The set is dominated by three outstanding folk/blues rock medleys: "From the Midnight Sun" (later titled "Immigrant Song") and "Heartbreaker"; "Communication Breakdown," "Good Times Bad Times," "For What it's Worth," and (not listed) "I Saw Her Standing There"; and Zeppelin's signature blues rock medley, comprised of "Whole Lotta Love," "Let that Boy Boogie Woogie," "I'm Movin' On," "Think it Over," and "Lemon Song." The bass and guitar transitions between the tunes on the "Communication Breakdown" medley are funky, and the explosive renditions of Stephen Stills ' "For What it's Worth" and Lennon/McCartney's "I Saw Her Standing There" are priceless in their inventive approach.
Live on Blueberry Hill also features fresh performances of "What Is and What Should Never Be" (with a pleasantly coarse Page guitar); an exhilarating, ultimately exhausting "Moby Dick"; and John Paul Jones ' freaky "Organ Improvisation." "Since I've Been Loving You" is the peak performance of the evening. In the course of eight minutes, Plant's wails and screams, Page's raw electric guitar, and Bonham's deep, thundering drums generate music that could accompany the damned to hell. The piece is representative of the evening, as their repertoire is comprised of music that's consistently dense, forceful, and epic in length. It's impressive and appealing.
A note to collectors: This original double LP bootleg pressing of Blueberry Hill is slightly different from Roundpin's CD release; the LP has more tracks overall but lacks a couple cuts contained on the CD. In addition, the Live On Blueberry Hill album is rather similar to the Mudside bootleg, both recorded around the same time.

Not a lot needs to be said about this show or this release - it's a real 100% gem of a show, and this release brings out the best of it beautifully. Three hours of solid Rock n Roll !!

This great concert from the LA Forum in 1972 has been released many times before by a number of labels. However, for one reason or another there have been some problems with all the releases. Fortunately Genuine Masters have got hold of an upgraded sound for this audience recording. Equally important, they have tracked down an alternate source audience recording of the concert too. This has been used to fill the few small cuts and gaps present in the main source. The sound now presented is excellent, although Plant's voice is still a little distorted, but that is on the original recording and little can be done regarding this. All the instruments sound really crisp and sharp.

This is an outstanding companion piece to the officially-released How The West Was Won. Just listen to both of these shows back-to-back and you really understand and live through Led Zeppelin's musical power. It took me awhile to compare Genuien Masters' version to my other titles issued by Smoking Pig, Empress Valley & Equinox. And once again, as anybody who has read any of reviews of GM releases, GM's clean pure sound easily beats all other releases to date. And frankly, I'm not surprised. I'm an unabashed fan of this issuer and they have never proven me wrong nor disappointed in any of their releases. Those collectors that venture out and try this release will not be disappointed...I think if you ever buy one Genuine masters release, you will seek each and every one. This is a stunning concert, obviously an old favorite among all collectors, and it now sounds even better than before.

The last show of the tour and Led Zeppelin's final performance in its original form begins with the familiar opening chords of Train Kept a Rollin', the same song that opened the band's first recorded concert in Spokane eleven and a half years earlier. Plant exclaims "now rock it, rock it, rock!" as Page tears into a blistering guitar solo. The band pounds through a thunderous Black Dog, which is once again introduced as "a number from the annals of rock history." Plant barks aggressively through In the Evening. Page's fingers are a bit sticky during a somewhat lackluster performance of The Rain Song. As the song ends, Plant tells the crowd "this is the last concert, so... we intend to have a better time now perhaps than we have done before." Hot Dog is introduced as "a song for Texas." Page stumbles through a sticky-fingered guitar solo as the band hammers through an extended Trampled Underfoot.

Achilles Last Stand has been inexplicably dropped from the setlist, leaving Page to stall the crowd while his guitar is being tuned before White Summer/Black Mountain Side. His fingers become hopelessly entangled in the strings throughout the song. Plant delivers a powerful performance during Kashmir. The crowd erupts as Stairway to Heaven begins. Page's fingers are a bit sticky as he wanders through an epic guitar solo, the longest ever. Plant asks the crowd "anything in particular?" before the band launches into an explosive Rock and Roll. The crowd goes wild as Page tears into the show-closing Whole Lotta Love. The theramin freakout has been transformed into an extended free-form jam. Bonzo and Jones hammer through a frantic rhythm as Page creates a symphony of dissonant howls. Plant pushes his voice to the limit during the song's thunderous finale. The crowd is left begging for more as the band leaves the stage for the last time ever. Two and a half months later, the tragic death of John Bonham on September 25, 1980 would effectively put an end to the greatest rock band of all time. The end of an era.

The tape is an excellent soundboard recording, briefly augmented by an audience source.
