We listen to an excellent stereo vinyl rip of 9/14/71 in Berkley Cali. Insane performances of SIBLY and Dazed, as well as the mellow acoustic That’s The Way and Going to California. A great one, folks. I know I’ve covered this show before, but not like this.

We listen to Grame’s remaster of Led Zeppelin in Vancouver, BC on March 19, 1975. The PNW leg of the ’75 tour is my favorite, and this is a fun show. Great recording, great energy. Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy!

This is a rare show featuring Robert Fleischman as lead singer, Journey played Long Beach, CA on August 14, 1977, opening for ELP. This is a Journey right on the cusp of the enormous fame that came from swapping Gregg Rolie and Robert Fleischman for Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain.
This is a great hard rocking Beatlesy Progfest with insanely good sound from being a Mike Millard master release from JEMS. Enjoy.

Led Zeppelin played New York City on Sept. 3, 1971 and the crowd was wild! So wild they stormed the stage and it collapsed. This is a tape in which the crowd at times is louder than the band, but the show itself is amazing. This is a vastly underrated Zep show. Jimmy’s playing has an edge I’d not heard before.

This is the first of five nights Led Zeppelin played the Forum on their 1977 tour. We hear the master recording for the first time. Everything is a little bit clearer, crisper, closer. Close your eyes and it’s like you’re there.

On February 27, 1972 Led Zeppelin played an outdoor show in Sydney, Australia. Zeppelin only toured Australasia once at it was a doozy! This is a high energy outdoor show to an appreciative Aussie crowd. Only live performance of The Rover as well. A good one!

Two Jimmy Page era Yardbirds shows were recently released, and we give a listen to songs from both of them July 1967 at the Fillmore West and May 29, 1968 in Concord, California (just a few months before Led Zeppelin’s birth). We hear Jimmy leading us all toward Led Zeppelin, his vision of what music should be. It’s a bit chaotic but a good listen.
