Analogman Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 i never got into the music on that one. there some much better shows in 73. the band seemed tired at the end of the tour. my favourite part is Peter grant cracking the shits! I'm down with that - but, that one is what we have on film. I just think there is a lot of power, groove, and skill in what we get to see there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 How the west was won is EXCELLENT!. and it has an acoustic set, which the didnt do in most 73 shows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 How the West was Won was recorded in '72... a great live set from 2 concerts... and some interesting reading on how all the live stuff has been spliced together by Page:http://www.thegardentapes.co.uk/index.html We had a thread about the film - where we talked about that. A lot of people did not know there was bits filmed on a soundstage and stuck in the film until the re-release came out. I have several nice SBD shows now - some from that tour. How the west was won is EXCELLENT!. and it has an acoustic set, which the didnt do in most 73 shows I have not listened to that in a while - think I will now. I still think the cd packaging is rather second rate though. I have seen the shows that made the cd release up somewhere - dime a dozen I think - minus the officially released tracks, that is.

Analogman Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 The dude seemed to get dissed a lot by the LZ community, for overplaying, I think - but I thought he did well in the No Quarter - Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Unledded concert film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 i loved his drumming on Gallows Pole. as for being a co-writer, i think they mean on Plant's Fate of nations album. i havent got it with me to check Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 In still another hopeful sign that something is afoot in the Led Zeppelin camp, the legendary band has posted some 76 videos of itself throughout its career on its very own YouTube channel. While the front page of the site says the band Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I think all of those were already up at Led Zeppelin.com. Maybe they were trying to give The Nobs guy a run for his money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 nothing's stopping the 3 J's from making new music, with the LZ name. jimmy says they're working on it not according to the article. new studio stuff would be cool though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 First up it is important to know that Dr. Ebbetts does not use any EQ. Doc's Notes:The following four titles are sourced from first American pressings - not from the classic 200 gram LP series. My original intention was to release the Zeppelin classic LP series after the entire collection was offered to me by a long time member of the mailing list. Indeed, I did needle drops on the entire classic record series (which I will eventually release), but while doing them, I became very interested in hearing what gorgeous first issue pressings of the same material sounded like. Two members of my mailing list - both in Texas (and who go way back to the very beginning of this blasted project) supplied me with near mint copies of the "1741 Broadway" re-issues. After comparing the original issues to the classic series, I decided to go with the originals. The classic LPs sounded wonderful, but to me (as always) there is something about the originals that make me feel good. The first four albums are out there now - do a search - you will find them. I'd say they sound good - still not as heavy as the original pressings I have, but better than the boxset re-masters from the early 1990s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The ones I have are the original American releases - but I am the third person to have them, so there is not much groove left to play. I am listening to Dr. Ebbetts version of III right now, and I have to say again, it sounds better than the officially released cd. It is a bit bright - but that is often my problem with digital tracks, not enough bottom end, presence, warmth, - whatever you want to call it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is a bit bright - but that is often my problem with digital tracks, not enough bottom end, presence, warmth, - whatever you want to call it. I do like a big bottom! Speaking of III, few years back I bought an old Harmony Sovereign Jumbo Acoustic at a garage sale for $15. When I searched to learn more about it, I found out Jimmy Page played one on this record. Surprising, since it was originally sold as a beginner type guitar. This thing is a beast!!I'm not trying to sound like a hi-fi snob, but the lp really captures the personality of that guitar better than the cd, IMO. I also respect that that's not so important to some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I've read that the best versions of these albums are the original UK pressings - I've never heard them though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stooka Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I think the first three also came in WLP/mono. Anyone have/heard them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm listening to Moby Dick right now - and I have to say, I am noticing sounds I have not heard before. A lot of times I grab things like this, listen to them once, and delete them. I think I will keep these though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks Raising Sand is boring as all hell? I like Robert Plant, but he is full of shit. How many times now has he rehashed Zeppelin on tours with Jimmy Page, and aped the Zeppelin sound with his solo bands? There's no reason they HAVE to call themselves Led Zeppelin now that Jones is on board. If Plant would rather do something else as a musician right now and in the future, that's fine, but why not just say that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
