Ep. 254 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a show I’ve covered in the long long ago, but I was listening to it and wanted to share more of the brilliance from hungry young Zeppelin. January 10, 1969 at the Fillmore West. These early shows are wild and feral, from a band that is completely unknown. Zep I hasn’t been released yet. No one knows anything about these guys, until they take the stage. Then it’s kaboom.

I play Train Kept A Rollin’ into I Can’t Quit You, Killing Floor (unreal), and How Many More Times from the Mines of Moriah. We finish with a very cool Yardbird’s track, For Your Love. Doesn’t get much better. They even call out Keith Relf which is pretty cool.

Ep. 253 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a joyous scorcher of a show. Led Zeppelin in Hamburg, DE on March 11, 1970 is a rollicking yet chill performance similar to the RAH show two months prior. We hear Heartbreaker, a Since I’ve Been Loving You so new the wings are still wet, and a massive How Many More Time is a vehicle for a billion cool medleys. A great band at a great time in their great career. Enjoy

Ep. 253 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We listen to a new compilation of Led Zeppelin’s 1977 US Tour from cmoneysmile via Led Zeppelin Boots’ Channel. This is a very nice mix of the best performances from this iconic tour. I play a few tracks, Nobody’s Fault, Whole Lotta Love, and some acoustic one offs. A very enjoyable listen.

Ep. 251 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We looked at this show a few years ago but I wanted to revisit Providence because it is such a kick ass show! We hear Celebration Day in which Jonesy is the star, Black Dog in which Robert’s voice is like that of a god, and Since I’ve Been Loving You in which Jimmy is first among equals.

Ep. 250 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is the first of three legendary nights at the Boston Tea Party on Led Zeppelin’s very first tour of the states. January 23, 1969 is what we’re hearing. Wild, Chaotic, almost feral is how hungry young Led Zeppelin sound. Another way to describe it is ‘Holy Shit!’

I play Train Kept A’Rollin’ (from the Yardbird days), As Long as I Have (w/ Fresh Garbage & Bag’s Groove), and an embryonic Dazed and Confused. Incredible improvisation and musicianship are evident from the start.

Ep. 249 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This show is amazing. The sound quality is bassy with some distortion but DADGAD does a great job balancing this into a paradoxically well balanced/bass heavy recording. The music is magical and the band are locked and playing well.

Jimmy’s control and technique are in top form and all the musicians are listening, and responding, to each other as they jam. Magic is a word that applies here. I play a fun and tight In My Time of Dying and the longest No Quarter on record (33 minutes!), and it’s amazing!

Ep. 248 – The Heat of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear a nice Liriodendron remaster of Led Zeppelin in Frankfurt June 30, 1980, on their Tour Over Europe. This remaster brings a much smoother, more professional balance to the soundboard, which makes it all the more fun to hear.
I play Trampled Underfoot, (one of the best) Achilles’ Last Stand, and a fun and rollicking Whole Lotta Love. They could still deliver in 1980 and they did.

Ep. 247 – The Heart of Markness Podcast

We hear a nice Master audience recording from Led Zeppelin from March 20, 1975 in Vancouver BC. This is a fun show with a powerful Jimmy Page, and I play In My Time Of Dying, Trampled Underfoot, and a funky, frenetic, Whole Lotta Love/Heartbreaker with a bunch of Lickin’ Stick to hold it together. A delightful show.

Ep. 246 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We listen to tracks from Led Zeppelin’s second tour of Japan; specifically October 4, 1972 in Osaka. Robert’s voice is in the process of shifting from the high register of the early days to the lower range of the latter days (1973 and onwards), which can make for some interesting renditions.

We hear Over the Hills and Far Away, and instrumental Song Remains the Same (called the Campaign), and a boisterous Whole Lotta Love with medleys and jams for miles. Powerful show.

Ep. 245 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear Led Zeppelin in Vancouver BC July 18, 1973 in all their glory. This show is unique in that they had to stop early and take Robert to the hospital (they said) because he was tripping balls on LSD and after Stairway was done.
The show is still brilliant and we hear Misty Mountain Hop–>Since I’ve Been Loving You, and a sublime No Quarter, as well as the announcement about Robert’s condition.
