Led Zeppelin: 1970-04-08 Raleigh, NC (FLAC_AUD 1st Gen Remaster_2 CD)

This is an excellent recording of Led Zeppelin's show from 44 years ago today.  This version is a remaster of the 1st generation copy originally shared by "Sean The Bootlegger" and it is a group project remaster too.  This show has been available through labels like EVSD for many years now.  But this is a much better copy than any label's version I have heard and it is not over amplified and over driven as the labels many times do to their recordings.  Both this version and the unaltered 1st generation version are the best versions I've heard to date.

And speaking of "date", there seems to be a consensus this show is from 1970-04-08 Raleigh, NC and not 1970-04-07 Charlotte, SC.  It seems there are a few dates and ideas as to what is accurate.  But overall, the date stated as the post's subject line is what is considered to be accurate by most.  The research on the dates and cities are giving me a headache, and even though most everything in this upload has the "4/7" date written on it, 4/8 is the date this was shared as too.

The reason I picked the remastered version to upload is because the songs have a sharper, more vivid high end to them.  It is reportedly unaltered as far as sound goes (no EQ work) according to the text file enclosed in this upload.  The "Sean The Bootlegger" 1st generation version has a different sound (still excellent) and as far as I know they are both from the same first generation source.  However, I haven't fully researched this to confirm it.  The tradeoff in this upload is there is a little more hiss.  But it's not anything that ruins the sound or the show.  Like I mentioned, they both sound excellent but the crisper sound in this upload makes the show a little more enjoyable to me.  The show is a great historical document of Led Zeppelin live 44 years ago today!

I didn't add or take anything away from this upload.  I'm just sharing it the way I got it.  I may start doing this more often as long as there is no need (or better yet, there is a need) to alter the way it's put together.  I'm a little confused as to why there are duplicate checksum files in this version, but oh well?  All they are for is to verify the contents are intact and nothing is missing when downloaded and/or shared for the most part anyhow.  And I did check and verify the contents with the md5 checksum files too before uploading the show as well as check for any sector boundary errors and everything was in perfect shape.

I hope you enjoy the show...
