Lorraine Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Here's what is supposed to be the best bootleg from an LZ concert: http://youtu.be/JGtWkZUZwbg BigBobby, you will the rendition of Achilles on this. It's towards the end. Bonzo was really something God rest his soul. The young man who did these bootlegs, read about him here: https://en.m.wikiped...ki/Mike_Millard This is a compilation of Led Zeppelin's LA run in June of 1977, (6/21, 6/23, 6/25, 6/27) all shows recorded by Mike Millard, a legendary taper in Led Zeppelin circles as well as in the taping community in general. His recording of the first night, June 21, 1977, is widely regarded as the best Led Zeppelin audience recording ever, and one of the most legendary bootlegs in general, known as 'Listen to This Eddie'Mike's recording of the show opening track the 'Song Remains The Same' was used in the official Led Zeppelin DVD and IMO it's the greatest version of this song ever, Bonham is absolutely out of his f***ing mind and the crowd is going completely bonkers. Its a fantastic recording of a great show and f I could go back in time and see just one Zeppelin gig, it would be this one. I'm glad i made his acquaintance and looked for these boots. But I do think it's tragic that he took his own life. I wish someone could have saved him from himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'm assuming all of the Led Zep boots on this pages are Mike's https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr71fBT_pB8pRBEHTe2oy6A If not, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Why not?Because the world's best and biggest bands have a certain chemistry that would not be the same with a different member. Many bands have mentioned that the very first time they got together there was a certain magic they all felt. I believe Zep was one of those bands. I know Crosby, Stills and Nash were. Ged and Al have said the second Neil started playing when they were auditioning for a new drummer they knew he was it. That magic is the reason John and Paul were better together than apart. Same with Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, etc. etc. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts in most cases. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Floyd fans should check out Mike Millard's recording of Pink Floyd at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena on 4/26/1975.It's a fantastic audience recording that has pre-release versions of Sheep (then known as Raving and Drooling) and Dogs (You Gotta Be Crazy) as well as the DSOTM suite in the second set.I actually think it's a better recording then Mike's more famous Zeppelin 'Listen To This Eddie' 6/21/77 tape, and his Rush Anaheim 1981 tape.

I'm sure plenty of people are distraught by the flaming Zeppelin - Oh, the humanity! And don't get me started on the phallic imagery of Presence.

Nova Carmina Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 As some have posted above, I voted for Physical Graffiti partly because there's just more of it. Say what you want about the grab bag of styles on III or HotH, but PG has that and then some. "Kashmir," "Trampled Underfoot," "Boogies With Stu," "In the Light," "In My Time of Dying," hell, even "Custard Pie"! PG is the album that goes up to eleven. Let me just offer a word Led Zeppelin I, though; has there ever been a more thunderous or door-kicked-in debut? Plus, it's got "Dazed and Confused" and "How Many More Times." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG cheats because it's a double! Side 4 is more like the stuff left over that emerged on Coda, although it's not without charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I remember reading Davis's "Hammer of the Gods" and he referred to the title as "an old joke not worth repeating" and it just sort of pissed me off that he'd bring it up but then not explain it! Once I knew it, though, I could kind of see his point. I'm going to listen to "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" right now. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
