Ep. 278 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a good one! For this episode I have chosen Jimmy Page & Robert Plant on the last night of their huge Unledded US tour. May 27, 1995 at The Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. This is a great venue known for it’s beauty, not unlike Red Rocks in Colorado.

Page/Plant end their tour on a high note with tight performances in a 3rd Eye recording of insanely great quality (Millard level). I play an epic Shake My Tree sung with conviction by Robert, a Dancing Days for the ages, and Calling to You. All of these performances are out of this world and will make you glad you heard them.

Led Zeppelin: Bradford 1973 1st Gen Soundboard

Ep. 277 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

Jan. 18, 1973 – Led Zeppelin play Bradford UK on their tour of smaller UK venues, before launching on their epic European tour, which gave us all those great shows. This show is on par with those high water marks like Vienna or Essen.

I play a raucous and frenetic Whole Lotta Love with joyous medleys aplenty. The rhythm machine is in high gear here. I also play an unorthodox encore performance of the Immigrant Song.

This show is brilliant and so much fun. You can download the full soundboard recording, which has Dazed, Whole Lotta Love and the Immigrant Song, right here: https://mega.nz/folder/r8lXhSxZ#AzdvYiQ1Nj-kKFV-HptN7Q

Ep. 276 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

In this episode we hear a recording of the opening date of Led Zeppelin’s 1971 UK Tour, in Newcastle on November 11, 1971. This is a distant but clear and good recording, and to no one’s surprise the band is in great form.

I play Heartbreaker, What Is And What Should Never Be, and a frenetic Communication Breakdown. This is a great show from a great tour. Don’t sleep on UK 71, there’s great stuff there!

Bonus Episode: The Heart of Markness Classic Rock Podcast

This is a fantastic recording of The Rolling Stones at the LA Forum, July 9, 1975. St. Michael Millard is the taper so the sound is out of this world. The Stones are also pretty darn great.

This is Ronnie Wood’s first tour with the Stones and he brings energy, fun, and a good bit of skill to the band. They sound revitalized. Billy Preston is with them as well, bringing a funkiness to the proceedings.

Led Zeppelin – Schaefer Music Festival 1969

Ep. 275 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a delightful recording of a confident young Zep playing The Schaefer Music Festival, Central Park, NYC, on July 21, 1969. It’s from a 1st gen reel and it sounds very good to these ears. The performance is, of course, glorious.

I play a frenetic proto-funky Communication Breakdown, You Shook Me which is as much Robert’s as it is Jimmy’s with that awesome harp playing. This song shines brightly for me. Maybe you’ll like it, too.

Then of course we finish strong with How Many More Times. Until Whole Lotta Love took over, this song was the vehicle for the medleys in which our boys loved to indulge. In this performance we get a teeny taste of Woody Woodpecker, You Make Feel So Young, For What It’s Worth, and a salacious and durrrrrrrty Lemon Song. It’s greasy greatness.
