Led Zeppelin: 1973-07-20 Boston, MA (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

Here's another 39 years ago today, 1973, Led Zeppelin concert.  This is one of two sources I have for this show.  This upload is the better sounding source in m y opinion.  The other, which I'm not uploading today, is from a bootlegger that recorded many Boston and surrounding area shows through the 1970's and into the 1980's.  Source 2 is Joe Maloney's master recording and it is not as clean as the EVSD release.

The show sounds good.  It's very nice in quieter songs such as "The Rain Song", and even the heavier songs, like "Dazed and Confused", sound good too.  Robert Plant's voice gets a little lost (hearing it) occasionally during the heavier, more instrumental songs under Bonham's drums.  Don't get me wrong though.  This is a very enjoyable and easy to listen to show.  Especially considering it was recorded to analog tape 39 years ago.  And the crowd around the recording source is not a noisy one either.  And that always makes a live, audience recorded show much better sounding.

Rather than sitting there reading my interpretation of the show, give it a try yourself :-)  You won't be disappointed.  Afterall, it is Led Zeppelin!

I cannot help but wonder if source 2, Maloney's master recording, is actually the source used by EVSD to create their 2 CD set?  There are obvious songs missing from this show (like "Since I've Been Loving You", "Moby Dick",etc), and both sources have the exact same setlist.  It's highly unlikely that two people, for whatever reason, didn't record the same songs.  And it's also highly unlikely Led Zeppelin would've left out a number of their songs in this one show.

Another note of interest in the two recordings is the way "The Rain Song" is distributed.  In this EVSD version being uploaded, the song is complete all the way through and then "Dazed and Confused" follows.  But on the second, Maloney master source (if it is a second source...I'm questioning that now), at the end of CD 1 "The Rain Song" is incomplete and the CD ends.  But on CD 2, "The Rain Song" picks up again and finishes.  I'm not really sure why someone would do this purposely, especially since there is still room for another long song (as in this upload).  Either way, whether there are two sources for the show or just one, it's a show to be enjoyed.

So, on that note, enjoy the show...
