Ep. 292 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

I’ve been going through a bit of a Brussels period, with 1980 and now 1972 back to back. Led Zeppelin usually played well in Brussels, and this show is no exception. May 28, 1972 has the band in fine form as I play Immigrant Song/Heartbreaker and the entire acoustic set of Going to California, That’s the Way, and Bron-y-Aur Stomp. Acoustic Zeppelin is always a treat and this is no different.

This show captures a transition period as they become, and then embrace being, the biggest band in the world. I covered Dazed and Whole Lotta Love years and years ago.

Ep. 197 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

I finally get around to the new 8/19/71 Vancouver show. It’s a wild bacchanal of top tier Zep. I play Gallows Pole (another one appears!), Whole Lotta Love (w/ medleys) and a rockin’ Weekend (Eddie Cochran cover). What a band!

October 9, 1971 Chicago, IL: The Heart of Markness Classic Rock Podcast

We hear a great show from Traffic on their Low Sparks tour on Oct. 9, 1971 in Chicago. The rhythm section is hothothot and Steve Winwood/Jim Capaldi sound fine. I play Light or Leave Me Alone, Low Spark, and Dear Mr. Fantasy. Fine show from a fine band.

Ep. 186 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We listen to what many say is one of Robert Plant’s best nights, Sept. 6, 1970 Honolulu. This is top shelf Led Zeppelin & we hear Immigrant Song, Whole Lotta Love (w/ medleys) & Communication Breakdown. Epic night.

The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast – May 14, 1988 MSG, NYC

Ep. 184 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear the entire set from Them Crooked Vultures from Sept. 27, 2022 in Los Angeles, for the Taylor Hawkins Memorial show. A nice tight three song set with an Elton John song, a TCV song, and a QOTSA song. Good stuff from a great band.

Ep. 183 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We listen to a beautiful Liriodendron remaster of Led Zeppelin on March 3, 1975 in Ft. Worth Texas. The sound is incredible as we hear No Quarter, Stairway, and a funky Whole Lotta Love. The funk is real. A great sounding soundboard.
