Just an amazing performance, quality and setlist. Haven't heard it all yet, doing it in bits and pieces when my eyes start to hurt from staring at waveforms too much, right now I am stacking up masters faster than I can transfer them.

MRD8 As promised here is the link to the first remastered version of this soon to be classic show(if it isn't already after only one day!)

http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=158255

ARTIST: Led Zeppelin
TITLE: N/A
DATE: January 22nd, 1973
VENUE: Southampton University
LOCATION: Southampton, England
SOURCE: Multi-track SBD
QUALITY: A/A+ (Would've been A+ if not for some light-moderate hiss that is mostly audible only during quiet sections)
ARTWORK: Included (contains photos supposedly taken from this show)

TRACKLISTING:
Disc 1:
1. Rock and Roll
2. Over The Hills And Far Away
3. Black Dog
4. Misty Mountain Hop
5. Since I've Been Loving You
6. Dancing Days
7. The Song Remains The Same
8. The Rain Song
9. Dazed and Confused

Disc 2:
10. Stairway to Heaven
11. Whole Lotta Love
12. Heartbreaker
13. Thank You
14. How Many More Times
15. Communication Breakdown

TOTAL RUNTIME: 2HR 32MINS 19SECS

LINEAGE: Multi-track master>stereo mix down>?>flac>wav>Cool Edit Pro v2.1>flac 6

TRANSFER/EDITING NOTES:
This incredible recording was supposedly taken direct from the multi-track master tape. Therefore, this would be the 1st generation stereo mixdown if correct. I believe this to be true given the sound quality of the recording. This is also the complete show which is rare in soundboard quality. I took the opportunity to remaster the recording because I thought it could benefit from a few small adjustments. Firstly, there is a muddiness to the source which comes from low-mid frequencies. This has been adjusted. Secondly, the levels flucuate from track to track on the source. I have remedied this issue. I have also used some light compression to get a more balanced, crisp sound. What is produced, as a result of these edits, is, in my opinion, a superior sounding recording. I hope you agree! No limiting or noise reduction of any kind has been used. Enjoy this new classic Zeppelin performance!

GimmeExile Which one is better? Original or Remasterd?

mac_daddy original.

as a general rule, the original is ALWAYS better than the remaster, unless the person doing the remaster has a last name of ludwig or a moniker of mickboy.

Doug Sax and Steve Hoffman also do pretty good remasters. But a remastered bootleg is not really a remaster - more of a simple eq job.

of course. and there are others...

i agree with your second statement, though i would add "often made with subpar equipment and tuned by untrained ears."

gimmekeef For fans of boots this is a must have...superb and very enjoyable.Million thanks to taper and uploaders and seeders who make it all go round..Interesting to now compare a 73 Led Zep boot of this quality against the Stones 73 Brussels...Both excellent however of course I give the edge to the Stones.
