Led Zeppelin: 1971-08-23 Fort Worth, TX (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

This is a superb performance Led Zeppelin put on at the Tarrant County Convention Center in Fort Worth in 1971.  This is the very best version of this show I've heard too.  Jimmy Page is on fire this night and he is playing stuff that is spectacular and I don't think he repeated ever again (or before).  At least the majority of it I've never heard since or prior to this night!

While this show's lineage has been remastered, I don't see any signs of any EQ work being done on it by pernod.  Still, it sounds better than my 1990's CD-R trade version of "Hot August Nights" (this same source).  Whatever the reason may be, this is the best version I've heard and even better (a lot) than the unverified master source which I also believe is not as complete as TDOLZ's release.

I added a folder for my artwork scans (gigh resolution) as well as the low resolution, smaller internet downloads too.  The reason I added the low resolution artwork is because one of the back artwork images has the spines/tabs on it for use in a CD case that this type of artwork fits in.  I'd created the same type of thing in the past but cannot find my high resolution scans of what I created with a spine.

Also included in this upload (by pernod originally) are two text files.  One is a reported interview with the taper from the Led Zeppelin publication and web site Proximity.  The other text file has reviews on the show.  I didn't do anything to this pernod remaster other than add some artwork to the file set.

This is an incredible performance and it is a shame that the whole show wasn't recorded.  But I know you will like it if you're a Zeppelin fan...
