  • Thanks to bluecongo & Winston for making this matrix, and The Fonz for providing the additional camera angle. Already five years ago!
    4th August 1979, Stevenage, England.
    The audio is a matrix, which means that the soundboard and audience sources have been combined, so you get the clarity of the sbd and the atmosphere and fullness of the audience source!
    Please do not post links to my videos at the LZ.com forums as the moderators there work with Warner and will get the videos removed. AND RATS WILL EAT YOUR CROPS. Thank you.

      eatthisvr6 The reason you think there is an added each is because the soundboard wouldn't have the echo that the audience recording would have, this is mixed so you get soundboard quality along with the audience echo

    why is this so good .Because its the real deal.When you record music with many guitar parts in .No 1 it show just how much imagination this band and jimmy had in the studio,N02 It is good because jimmy has picked which parts out of the many on the track would work the best live .And even then he is improvising here searching for new things in his his solos.He is creating something new right in front of you .He is taking chances with his mind .Some he wins some he loses.It doesnt matter .If zep had carried on ,Some of these idea may have been a new track for later .pure genius

    This and Kashmir were the best moments from Knebworth. Since the official version of this song on DVD has a bunch of different angles they found during the restoration of the tapes I'm hoping they do a really solid Knebworth DVD with all remixed sound. Would be killer.

    Achilles Last Stand for me is the best of Zep's epics. It has just the right balance of roll and thunder. The band is older, in control of the manic frenzy that can drive a song like this without it running away from them. Love this band. Love this live performance. Thanks for putting it up here for all of us to enjoy.

    They were just starting to get enough great musical material to match Percy's obvious change of vocal range. Damn man, was born a decade to late. What a beast they may have been in the 1980s but they spared us the teased hair and spandex I reckon. RIP BONZO

      They probably would've done like the Stones and done an break. Robert probably would've done a solo album or two and emulated Duran Duran a little. Jimmy would've have let Zeppelin go new wave. They would've shifted, but spandex, probably not.

    Nooooooooo Knebworth 8/4 where they played some key songs flawlessly. They smoothed some of Pages notes because he was cheating a bit to kept up the speed. He sounded sticky on some songs. He played his ass off. He was drenched in sweat. No moving no dancing they were all just locked in. Sick Again Achilles Kashmir nobody’s fault In the evening Ten Years gone wereplayed as good as they ever played. This concert is Led Zeppelin at its best during those songs.
