This is a fun, low key, very local, performance by Robert Plant and Mike Sanchez in Kidderminster. His voice is top notch, like where has this guy been?

It’s light hearted and very enjoyable.

This is a very nice recording of Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes, from June 24, 2000 in Tinley Park, IL. The show is a banger as is the norm for this tour. I play a soulful Bad Luck Blue Eyes with tasteful Jimmy licks throughout, the never played live by Zeppelin, In The Light (which shines with all those guitars), and fun and rollicking Out on the Tiles.
A good time is to had. Come on in.

Ep. 365 – Zurich 1980 Westwood One

We hear from Led Zeppelin playing Zurich on June 29, 1980, which was broadcast on the Westwood One Radio Network in 90’s. It’s the standard soundboard recording, I believe, but it’s been mastered for broadcast, and thus sound better.
I play a fantastic Trampled Underfoot and Achilles Last Stand, along with Nobody’s Fault But Mine (taken from the standard sbd not broadcast).
This is fun and a nice testament to the viability of 1980 Zep.

Ep. 323 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear a banger of a show from Jimmy Page/Robert Plant from March 11, 1995 in New Orleans. This show had some unique performances and great energy. I play House of The Rising Sun/Good Times Bad Times, a lovely Thank You, and a super groovy Dancing Days. A good one!

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.

Bonus – The Heart of Markness Classic Rock Podcast

This is a fantastic Two of Us recording of Lou Reed at NYC’s St. James Theater, on March 21, 1989. He plays the entirety of the New York album before playing a second set of Lou faves. It’s glorious.

I play Dirty Boulevard, Strawman (germane to the time in which we find ourselves), and a rollicking Vicious. If you do Lou (I know you do) then I hope you enjoy this one.

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).
