@@mnick0962 great series-always wanted a LZ Best of Entire Career guide to expand Fave Live LZ worth owning. Appreciate your work on this series, Take Care God Bless. Hello from Canada!
Great episode. New subscriber. Been collecting Zeppelin bootlegs since 1982 when I first got Going To California. Absolutely love 1969. There really isn’t a bad gig. They are all powerful. I really love the Afternoon and evening shows o March 17th. Jimmy really makes that Telly roar! ✌️
We seem to have the same taste in music. I too, have just started to come around to Jethro Tull, quickly becoming one of my favorite bands over the last few years. From 69-78 they were great. I also can't get into A Passion Play. It's a hard listen even for a progressive Rock fan. Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I first heard them in the mid to late 80's, at 14 years old
Saw them at the Boston Tea party maybe around Jan or Feb 69. I think the venue sat 500. A few months later, around Aug I saw them again at the Carousel ball rm. A large tent in Framingham Mass. A 2500 seat venue! Not 3 months later, maybe Nov, just 9mon after the Tea Party, I saw them for the last time at Boston Garden! With 15,000 new fans! I remember the 2nd album had just come out and they were selling it in the Garden! Amazing yr for music! All driven by FM radio! In my case WBCN!
Ok...I watched up to 26 minutes...and I was like, "spit it out, get to the point..." I just wasted half an hour!!! So I'm going to listen to Zeppelin now
@@Shaun-ed4fz Yeah, sorry. Such a motormouth. There is a link menu in the comments so you can skip to the reviews. I appreciate your comment and am working to reign in my excessive yammering.
Thank you for doing this. I have been collecting Led Zep bootlegs since I got my 1st copy of Live On Blueberry Hill in 1973! The progression of the sets and the songs themselves is fascinating. I hope you get into the later years and breakdown things like Dazed & Confused and No Quarter, how they started as 6 minute studio songs and grew longer and more experimental with each subsequent tour, but then shrank and were gone by the 1980 tour. And judging from the bootlegs from the European shows of that 1980 tour, the band sounded lame in comparison to earlier tours. Even Knebworth the year before showed signs of tapering off. And the haircuts and stage clothes didn't help either!
Hey, thanks for the comment! I indeed do plan to go year by year and discuss the bootlegs and the band as they evolved as a live unit. I am in the process right now of finishing my band’s record and getting ready to do a live in the studio video thing, but I am going to get on it in the new year. I actually do like a lot of the 1980 shows. They seem to be playing with a little bit more piss and vinegar and had a more streamlined set list. But they were lumbering dinosaurs and Page and Bonham are not in the best condition. The Zürich show from 1980 is especially good. The thing that I’ve noticed about shows from 1977 onward, and I saw them in 1977, was that John Paul Jones is Alembic bass did not have the same warmth and low end glue that his Fender basses had. It’s a very clanky metallic sound that kind of pulled the rhythm section apart. Add that to all the drugs and bad vibes and you had a lot of inconsistent shows in the last few years of their career. It was very trendy to have those Alembic bases in those days. ELP, The Grateful Dead all had those things, and it was to the detriment of the sound of the band. Rock on and thanks again!
And I said as such. Reviews are subjective. This list isn’t about sound quality but rather which recorded shows “I” dig. But thanks for your input. Rock on!
@@thefirepenguins74 I may have oversold it but I think it sounds ok. There might be other sources. It lacks definition below 400hz but everything is discernible to my ears.
Great video... Enjoyed it all!!👍🏼✌🏼
I saw them in San Francisco at Winterland in 1969. They were great
@@lelandpodoll9628 Spectacular! I saw them in 1977.
Please do one for every year!
@@leereddy6295 I’m on it. Trying to finish my band’s new record but it’s in the works!
That was absolutely fascinating. Thanks so much for this Mick and more please.
@@grahamfay2473 Hey, thanks a bunch!

Love it if/ when you could talk about finding and matching these to the album vinyl etc that can be purchased. Great video though. Awesome

@@mnick0962 The Fender bass would've sounded much better on Achilles...
Well done!👍
You got the Merriweather where they got smoked by the Who?
@@Ian-sj1wy There’s just one single from that. Whole Lotta Love.
"even bigger than One Direction" ? That's funny.
October 12 sounds awful too

@@mnick0962 I just cant enjoy the coolest solo ever recorded with a potatoe, i am happy you can, my last hope is that AI can clean those sets
@ Maybe so. I’m a pro audio engineer and lord knows I’ve tried. I can improve some things but it’s a time suck.
January 5 sounds horrible, what do you mean is one of the best recordings 😮💨

that was incredibly long, but i enjoyed it.

@@ragnadrabinowitz7629 Thanks! If I edited out all the “ums” and “so’s” it would be 20 minutes!🤣
@mnick0962 hahaha!!!
