Ep. 306 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

On July 1, 1980 Santana played Frankfurt, Germany at the same venue in which Led Zeppelin played the night before. Jimmy Page hung around and attended the show, and even joined the band for a couple of tunes.

What is noteworthy is how good the jams are. 1980 Jimmy can be very hit or miss. This is a hit. A hit out of the park. First of all Santana is an incredible band as is the recording (Master Soundboard) which was remastered by Dario Romero. They did a great job.

I play a raucous and extremely tight Shake Your Moneymaker where Jimmy easily matches Carlos lick for lick. It’s great. I then play Evil Ways which says it has Jimmy on it but I’m not too sure. Still a great performance from a great band.

Led Zeppelin Dortmund 1980 Opening Night

Ep. 304 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

June 17, 1980 is the first date in Led Zeppelin’s Tour Over Europe, and on that date we find the band in Dortmund. They come out of the gate with something to prove, and they deliver. The show opens with an intense and dangerous Train Kept A Rollin’ followed without a breath by Nobody’s Fault But Mine, which now is truncated as the intro guitar is eliminated going right into the song. I like it. The Rain Song is perfection as it usually is with Bonzo bringing fury and bombast, which will diminish tragically as the tour progresses.

Bonus – The Heart of Markness Classic Rock Podcast

This is a fun one! April 2, 1980 at My Father’s Place in Roslyn, NY from an FM broadcast on WLIR. The sound and the performances are stellar. Nice, short, story songs sung impeccably… kinda in a Kinks vein.
If you’re like me you’ll be reminded of a whole bunch of great songs that had slid over the horizon over the years, overshadowed by the fame of “Tempted”. You’ll enjoy this one.

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.

We hear a great Mike Millard master recording of YES in LA on Oct 3, 1980 in support of their transition album, Drama. Trevor Horn sings beautifully and the whole band is on fire. We hear Machine Messiah, Tempus Fugit, and And You And I. Amazing performance and recording.

Ep. 168 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast – June 30, 1980

We hear a wonderful remaster of June 30, 1980, Led Zeppelin in Frankfurt. Liriodendron did the remaster and brought the dry (and slow) sbd to life. We hear In The Evening, maybe the best live Achilles, and a great cover of Money with Phil Carson on bass. This show sparkles.

Ep. 161 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast – June 24, 1980 Hannover Germany

We listen to Led Zeppelin playing Hannover DE June 24, 1980 and Jimmy Page’s fingers are nimble! We hear Nobody’s Fault, All My Love (excellent solo), Trampled Underfoot and a regal SIBLY. The audience recording is lively and dynamic. There are gems to be found in the 1980 Tour Over Europe. Jimmy’s firing on all cylinders here.
