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.

Ep. 244 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a lovely low gen recording from November 25, 1988 at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, in support of Jimmy Page’s Outrider album. This tour is incredible and should not be overlooked by Zep fans.

Jimmy Page, John Miles, Durban LaVerde, and Jason Bonham make a tight little unit cranking out Zeppelin tunes (for the first time since 1980), Firm tunes, Death Wish 2 tunes, and even a Yardbirds tune. Best of all Jimmy was playing like it was 1973 again, with fluidity and dexterity unseen for at least a decade.

Ep. 242 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a great recording of Led Zeppelin at Brondby DK March 15, 1969 (late show). A hungry young band plays the club with a ferocity and joy which remains unrivaled. I play Train, I Can’t Quit You, and a Dazed which is reminiscent of the album version. A joy.

July 17, 1973 Seattle WA. Led Zeppelin play another of a series of brilliant gigs across the United States. There are myriad recordings of this show, and we’re listening to a sweet vinyl rip of the OG Trademark of Quality title V 1/2.

John Paul Jones at the West Hollywood House of Blues Oct 19, 1999. Unbelievable talent. Unbelievable show. on the Zooma Tour. Powerful performance by Jonesy and his arsenal of custom bass instruments. We hear Zooma, Grind, and Smile of Your Shadow. Just astounding the talent of this man.

Ep. 239 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear a scorching Page/Plant show, professionally recorded for broadcast on Westwood One) from October 1, 1998 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Everyone is on fire and Jimmy plays like a man possessed. I play Heartbreaker, Most High, and a blazing How Many More Times with Jimmy commanding his instrument like the virtuoso he is, esp when he and Robert go into a brilliant I Can’t Quit You, Baby in the middle, before jumping back into it. Really great stuff.
