If one was, in addition to looking for, well, any and all live and studio boots of The Stones, looking for some quality Who Concerts (besides Live at Leeds and Isle of Wight), might one inquire as to the quality of stuff from the '74-'75 tour and where it might be aquired?
As they say, "I just gots to know!"
(Well, actually, I was just listening to "Naked Eye" and going "Damn. I wish I could hear them smashing their stuff on that one. What an awesome live band. Teach those Zeppelin kids a thing or two!")

LED ZEPPELIN LIVE AT LAST ON DVD AND CD - LEGENDARY PERFORMANCES DUE MAY 27TH WITH RARE AND UNRELEASED MATERIAL
Mar 07 2003
THE mother lode of Led Zeppelin live recordings has at long last arrived! Slated for a simultaneous May 27th release are LED ZEPPELIN DVD, a two-disc set, and HOW THE WEST WAS WON, a three-CD set. Long sought-after by Zeppelin devotees and collectors, this marks the first-ever official release of these rare and legendary performances, which span the group's entire career. Much-rumored and eagerly anticipated, the DVD and CD sets each contain entirely different material, so there is no overlap between the two releases. As a gesture to the band's millions of fans, both sets are specially priced - the 2-DVD set at 29.98 list, and the 3-CD set at 26.98 list.
Clocking in at nearly five and a half hours, 'LED ZEPPELIN DVD' has been culled from just a handful of performances which were ever filmed during the band's extraordinary lifetime. As guitarist Jimmy Page explains, 'We were never really part of the pop scene. It was never what Led Zeppelin was supposed to be about. Our thing was playing live. In that sense, Zeppelin was very much an underground band. The fact that it became as successful as it did was something that was almost out of our control. We actually shunned commercialism, which is why so little official footage of the band has ever been seen before.'
Featured are performances from: London's Royal Albert Hall in January 1970, just one year after the release of their debut album; their triumphant five-night run at London's Earl's Court in May 1975; and their record-breaking shows at England's Knebworth Festival in August 1979, just one year before the death of drummer John Bonham led to the band's dissolution. Also included are songs from New York's Madison Square Garden in July 1973 which were not included in 'THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME' concert film, the only previously released live Zeppelin footage. Other highlights of the DVD include: extremely rare television appearances, among them a performance for Danish television in March 1969; promotional clips; TV interviews; behind-the scenes material; and even a bit of fan-shot 'bootleg' footage.
Visually and sonically stunning, 'LED ZEPPELIN DVD' has been painstakingly restored, remixed, and remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround, DTS, and PCM Two-Channel Stereo - under the personal supervision of Jimmy Page and director Dick Carruthers.
Recorded in California, 'HOW THE WEST WAS WON' is a brilliant audio complement to the DVD. The material on the three CDs has been culled from two of the most legendary and incendiary live performances by Led Zeppelin, at the Los Angeles Forum and Long Beach Arena on June 25th and 27th, 1972. Melded together and sequenced to replicate a single concert from beginning to end, it captures the band at the height of their formidable powers. Among the highlights are a 25-plus minute version of 'Dazed And Confused' and a 23-minute medley based around 'Whole Lotta Love.' Alongside such classics as 'Stairway To Heaven' and 'Rock And Roll,' these shows find the band introducing songs from their forthcoming 'HOUSES OF THE HOLY' album, which would not be released for another nine months.

Yecch. I never liked Zeppelin as a live band. Page threw so many guitars at his recordings to make 'em good that when he did 'em live it sounded empty. "The Song Remains The Same" (the song, not the album) is a perfect example. How many guitars are on that one that he plays? Four? Five? Each of them is unique, not like Spector's Wall-Of-Sound that can get toned down. As a result, when the song gets played live, Jimmy can simulate at most two and loses that essence. Same thing happened to The Who as they got more complex, although they dealt with it a bit better. The Stones, on the other hand, always knew two guitarists was a better formula.

I'm glad I saw Pagey touring with the Crowes...he had those extra guitars and they sounded damn good playing those Zep tunes live.
Anyone know if Jimmy is going out on a "reunion" tour with JPJ and Robert Plant this summer? I know they've been negotiating....and I've been checking in here and there..nothing yet.
Nellcote???
Anyone?
I'm getting the above as soon it's released..oh yeah!
Been a long time since I rock and rolled....well, since February 6th anyway! |

I never saw Zep live, but what I have heard I have always found disapointing. A glaring example of ; if you can't reproduce it live, then just leave it on record. I agree with Savvy, 'The Song Remains The Same'(live), remains a pain (live).....so does most of Zepplins live performances, and I love their studio work. |
