This show has three confirmed sources (recordings) of it with a fourth source reportedly surfacing (and used for the patches here) making the show almost (more?) complete.  In the past, the three sources available were all cut short during "Whole Lotta Love" and the rest of the concert was unavailable.  But thankfully, that has changed!  There are rumors that Zeppelin did one last song not on any recording (as of yet anyhow).  While it cannot be confirmed now, the rumor states they also added "Communication Breakdown" as the very last song.  Who knows?

I went through six labels and sources I have for this show and chose this one to upload for two reasons.  (1) I think it has the best sound and (2) it seems to be the most complete.  Either way, the project builders did an excellent job on the show's mix and patch work and it sounds better than EVSD's "Feelin' Groovy Definitive Edition" and TDOLZ's "Ipswich 1971" which are what I have primarily listened to most times over the years.

One thing I really like about this group project is the clarity in Plant's voice in the primary source as well as how the balancing of the mix is pretty equal.  Page's guitar, Plant's vocals, Bonham's drums, and John Paul Jones' bass (might want to turn up bass or sub-woofer slightly) are all heard equally for the most part.  It's a really good mix when listening.

I've been trying to nail down which source goes with which label and version of the show and it is all over the place using the various resources.  Even the EVSD source used in this project has parts of the three confirmed sources (or three different recordings) throughout it.  And if there is a source 4, then it is what is being used in the project patches in this project.  Since there are so many conflicting reports as to which is source 1, source 3, etc; I'm not even going to add that information.  If I'm not sure, then I'm not going to put it here until I am.  I'll update this post if the information ever becomes more precise and agreeable by the collecting community.  I'm also leaving the original uploader's info file intact and in this upload for further references.

Until next time...
