Ep. 309 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This show, February 27, 1996, is the third to the last for Page/Plant’s No Quarter tour, and it is smokin’! The band hasn’t lost a step since their legendary Japanese shows of a few days prior. This is an excellent audience recording which maintains the high bar set in Japan, quality-wise.

I play a ridiculously hot In The Evening, and the two encores which took the roof off the place. Black Dog and Rock and Roll. The latter two are sung with Robert Plant going alllllll out; hitting notes one doesn’t expect. The band are in a great mood and the audience is locked in all the way. A great show with top of their game performances.

Ep. 308 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is a very nice stereo recording (AUD patched w/ SBD) remastered by Winston, of Led Zeppelin playing New Orleans on May 15, 1973. This is a fun performance which is one of the best of their May shows.

I play the final trifecta of the night; Heartbreaker, Whole Lotta Love (with medleys aplenty), and Communication Breakdown. All performances are great and you will enjoy them. You will enjoy them.

Ep. 307 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

Led Zeppelin always seemed to bump it up a notch when touring the West Coast/PNW, and this is no exception. March 19, 1975 in Vancouver, BC is one of the better shows from this tour. I have covered this show before, but it’s been almost 5 years since then, so…. fair game.

I play Sick Again, Kashmir, & In My Time of Dying; all of which new songs for this tour.

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.

Ep. 301 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

Only the first two songs of this show are publicly extant, and I always have love for the runt of the litter, so here we go! Led Zeppelin played Wallingford, Connecticut on August 17, 1969 and we are able to hear Train Kept A Rollin’ and I Can’t Quit You Baby, at least. Thank god for tapers!

Led Zeppelin Tokyo Sept. 23, 1971 (Watchtower)

Ep. 300 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

There’s a good reason I’m coming back to this show, after almost 5 years. Watchtower has released a version of this show in fantastic quality, without the noise reduction that muffled prior releases. It’s also one of the best shows from one of the best years of one of the best bands around. So there’s that.

This is band’s first night of their first Japanese tour and they’re out to impress the people of Tokyo. I play a superlative Since I’ve Been Loving You, which you should listen to right now. I also play an exceptional Stairway to Heaven with an amazing solo, and I finish with the small acoustic set of Bron-y-Aur Stomp, That’s the Way, and Going to California. The sound is fantastic as is the performance.

Led Zeppelin: Vancouver 1971

Ep. 299 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

On August 19, 1971 Led Zeppelin began their North American tour in Vancouver, BC and we have the pleasure of hearing peak Zep, thanks to an intrepid taper. Last time I touched upon this show we featured the first few songs; this time we’re back for more. I play a scorching Black Dog (sung like the record), a powerful (better than the European ones, imo) Gallows Pole (on the doubleneck 12 string), and a raucous and frenzied cover of Eddie Cochran’s Weekend. Each performance is pure fire, as is the rest of the show. Truly awesome.

Led Zeppelin: Kyoto 1972 Speed Corrected

Ep. 297 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

Led Zeppelin played Kyoto, Japan on October 10, 1972 on their second (and last) tour of the country. This is a merge of two excellent sources, put together and speed corrected by Dario Romero. The sound is very good as is the performance. You’ll like it. Where else are you gonna hear The Rain Song played with a wah wah?

The band are now the biggest band in the world and were set on making sure everyone knew it. They play songs from the as yet unreleased Houses of the Holy album. I love hearing audiences hear Zep songs for the first, and this doesn’t disappoint. I play The Song Remains the Same (called The Campaign at this point), The Rain Song, and an Over the Hills and Far Away in which Robert sings the original higher melody for one of, if not the last time.

This is a great gig which you can download, courtesy of my Patrons, right here: https://mega.nz/folder/z48DTSKQ#03aiYJqYseCPcIuRke8IDg

Ep. 295 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

December 20, 1972 at the Brighton Dome in good old Brighton, UK. This is digital transfer of the original master cassette, courtesy of KRW_Co. Being a master recording all the clarity which the recorder could capture is preserved.

I play Misty Mountain Hop and a 30 minute, everything but the kitchen sink, rendition of Whole Lotta Love. So many medleys!

Led Zeppelin – Montreux 1971

Ep. 293 – The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

This is one of Robert Plant’s greatest shows. He’s full blast and the rest of the band is right there with him. August 7, 1971 in Montreux, Switzerland right before heading the US for another amazing tour. You can’t get better than 1971 Led Zeppelin, and it’s so cool to hear them play Zep IV songs to an audience that had never heard them yet.

I play what is possibly the first live performance of Celebration Day, an incredible Black Dog in which Robert may very well exceed his album vocals, and one of my favorite encore numbers of theirs, Eddie Cochran’s Weekend.

It’s a great show and I hope you enjoy it. You can download the complete performance, courtesy of my Patrons, right here: https://mega.nz/folder/GhtDiCCC#Xydj3ZKqurTfsQq_qCpHqQ
