Show Notes
We hear a spectacular performance by everyone involved in this master recording of Page/Plant in Frauenfeld, Switzerland on July 8, 1995. This show hits hard. It's more on the level of 1998 than 1995 to my ears. It's awesome. I play a medley filled Calling to You (with Light My Fire, Break on Through, Dazed and Confused, and more) which is just 10/10 from everyone. Then on to Four Sticks which glides into In the Evening, which is also 10/10. A great one.

St. Louis was so good I had to come back for a second helping. Feb 16. 1975 Led Zeppelin played in St. Louis, MO and we gotta show, ya know? It's a good show with really creative choices by our Mr. Page. I play Kashmir and In My Time of Dying. It's good.
We get to enjoy a fantastic remaster, by Liriodendron, of Led Zeppelin playing St. Louis, MO on Feb 16, 1975. This is a make up show for an earlier date in January, which was canceled due to Robert's flu. I play a tight and tactile Trampled Underfoot, followed by an absolutely sublime No Quarter. A good time was had by all. Enjoy.
We hear a gorgeous recording of Robert Plant with Saving Grace w/ Suzi Dian, in Flagstaff, AZ on Sept 25, 2026. Everyone shines in this as we listen to Let the Four Winds Blow, an absolutely sublime Rain Song, followed by the newly added Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. At almost 80 years of age Robert Plant still defines, then redefines, what it means to be an artist. It's lovely.
We listen to two tracks from a fantastic compilation by Zephead315, of Led Zeppelin's legendary 1971 UK tour. Culling the best tracks from the best dates we hear an otherworldly Whole Lotta Love with all the medleys (incl Buddy Holly's Heartbeat) and power in the world. We finish with a brilliant cover of Eddie Cochran's Weekend. Worth a listen for sure.
This show, Sept 4, 1970, is one of the most popular and legendary recordings around. Blueberry Hill. The show with a zillion sources and most of them sound great. This is a demix/remix of the Blimp source by Chi166, and we get to experience this classic show in a new light. I play the encores, Communication Breakdown w/ Good Times Bad Time & more, a raucous Out on the Tiles, and finally a joyous Blueberry Hill to close out the night. Time to revisit an old friend.
