Ep. 274 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is as legendary as legendary gets. Led Zeppelin at the LA Forum, June 23, 1977 is one of the most popular, and famous, bootleg recordings out there. The quality of Mike Millard’s master recording is matched by the quality of the bands’ performance.

The first four songs are from the Barry Goldstein master tape, which is almost as good as Millard’s. It really ties the room together, as it were.

I play Nobody’s Fault But Mine, a serene and sublime Ten Years Gone, and a muy fuerte Achilles’ Last Stand. It’s nice to hear this show with even better clarity. All thanks to the JEMS taping group for curating and preserving these precious recordings.

Ep. 273 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a great show! The penultimate Page/Plant gig, December 2, 1998 Oberhausen, Westphalia. Unbelievable chemistry between all band members. Jimmy Page is absolutely on fire, and super precise in his tone, and delivery.

The band has never sounded better and they are ending their Walking Into Everywhere Tour with a hell of a bang. I play Heartbreaker, Walking Into Clarksdale (insane whammy work in this), and a How Many More Times for the ages.

Led Zeppelin: Copenhagen 1970

Ep. 272 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a firecracker of a show recorded the month following the Royal Albert Hall gig, which is featured on the Led Zeppelin DVD. February, 28, 1970 in Copenhagen, Denmark. We have The Nobs performing, to placate the wrath of the elders of the Von Zeppelin family. Zeppelin delivers in Copenhagen, historically, and this show is now different.

So, instead calling themselves Led Zeppelin, on this one night the were The Nobs. This is both in homage of promoter Claude Nobs, and play on then slang term for male genitalia, your knob. Remember they were all in their early 20’s. 😉

I play an embryonic and powerful Since I’ve Been Loving You, a gorgeous Organ Solo/Thank You, and finish up with Bring it on Home. Great band. Great show. Great Scott!

Ep. 271 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

I play a nice show from July 7, 1973 of Led Zeppelin lighting up Chicago. Robert’s voice is in rough shape, but not as bad as the night before. Jimmy and Bonzo ably pick up any slack left by Mr. Plant.

I play Over the Hills and a raucous Dazed. Good stuff. Performed 51 years ago, today.
