Led Zeppelin: 1973-07-18 Vancouver, B.C., Canada (FLAC_AUD 1st Gen_2 CD)

Once again, 39 years ago today, here's what Led Zeppelin was doing.  This concert is very unique.  It is shortened by Robert Plant having to be taken to the hospital.  The announcer comes up and asks the crowd after "Stairway to Heaven" (usually the encore songs follows after a few minutes) to please listen and exit orderly.  He says something like "Led Zeppelin has left the building; we're trying to get Robert Plant to the hospital immediately..."  Needless to say, the crowd shuts up pretty fast to hear what's being said.  So, the show was cut short and Plant was removed to the hospital (via limousine).  That happened 39 years ago tonight, and I bet Plant isn't even thinking about/remembering it tonight either :-)

This is a really great sounding show!  It has a few flaws, but the sound is good and the show is going good until Plant get's sick.  I was surprised by the sound quality upgrade on this copy, reportedly from a clone of the master reel-to-reel.  I'm going to listen to this one all of the way through tonight because I haven't heard my older, lesser quality copies of this show in years and this one beats all of them.
