Here's a Led Zeppelin show recorded 39 years ago today using an 8-track stereo recorder (high tech in those days).
The "info" text file included in the zipped files is from the original source I got the show from. It'll pretty much parallel what I'm typing below. I'm just adding a few extra details and making a few small edits (like writing the date out, spelling abbreviated words, etc).
Thanks to weedwacker67 for making this show available.

NOTES:
JEMS master recording. This one has circulated for years with bad info and from an older transfer that was only half the recording. The recording is not a mono recording and is not sourced from a reel as has been reported for years now. This is the first(and probably the last) time the masters have been directly digitized as high resolution audio, June 2011. It is a very good recording for what it is and an upgrade to any and all particular variations on this recording that circulate. The recording has been mastered for general circulation since the tape had a lot issues to be dealt with to get it into a listenable and presentable form. This was one of the first recordings 'J' would ever make. The actual model of the recorder and mics has been forgotten with time but the key feature and reason for 'J' starting out with this particular recorder was the fact you could adjust the record volume levels without using VU meters.

Can you PLEASE upload this show again in flac?! I missed it the first time and all I have are mp3 files which don’t do this sonic upgrade of this great show justice.
