Led Zeppelin: 1970-03-12 Dusseldorf, Germany (FLAC_AUD 4 Independent Sources_5 CD)

This is not a mix of four sources into one recording.  This is the recordings of each of the the four sources known to exist.  Since there is no standard for what source is which recording in the big picture, the source 4 recording in this upload is likely what is referred to as source 3 in many other uploads too.  I cannot say with 100% certainty this is the case but it makes the most sense.  Source 4 in this upload is the only two disc source.  And a number of other copies of this show list source 3 as their main source.  For that to be the case, source 3 (or the most complete and longest source) in some of the other recordings has to be source 4 from this upload.  See the setlist below and it'll make better snese than me over-explaining it.

A Zeppelin collector had recently asked for this show so I told them I'd upload it for them as well as anyone else interested in all four sources from 1970-03-12 Dusseldorf.

NOTE: I created a torrent and posted it on Dime.  If your a Dime member, you'll know what to do.  If not, sign up for a free account and READ THE RULES.  Go to http://www.dimeadozen.org for their home page.  And remember to keep your sharing ratio at 0.25% or higher so as to not get banned.  It's a much faster download almost always!  Now, back to the original blog post.

I always like to keep a record of where I got a show or recording from.  But in this case, I cannot find this one listed anywhere.  It doesn't appear to have come from Dime and I know it didn't come from R-O.  It did have a text file which I'll use as the info file for anyone who wants to preview it here on Dime before downloading.  I'm still adding my own info file, but the preview info file is the original and it may help someone decide whether or not they have this already.  Chances are if you have a download of four sources for the 1970-03-12 Dusseldorf show, then you have this :-)

These aren't the best recordings and I have to wonder if most of these are just samples of material that hasn't been shared in full?  I don't see 3 people just recording a few Led Zeppelin songs in 1970 and not recording as much of the show as possible.  I know very little about this specific show other than some tidbits of information I've gathered from researching the date and show.  But I do not see this specific upload being reviewed anywhere and I'm 99% sure it isn't from a boot label either.

Just to reiterate; THIS IS NOT A FOUR SOURCES MIX...IT IS FOUR SEPARATE SOURCES IN ONE DOWNLOAD FOR THE 1970-03-12 DUSSELDORF CONCERT.

I hope you enjoy the four sources for this show...

Led Zeppelin: 1969-04-26 San Francisco, CA (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

This is an excellent sounding show and performance by Led Zeppelin in their beginning year.  I compared a few boot label versions as well as some non labeled, low generation transfers of this show today.  And while they all sounded great, I do think this Black Swan label copy sounded very clean and good for the labeled versions I was choosing from.

This show has something to it that may be a first also.  I'll have to research it, but this may be one of the very first times "Whole Lotta Love" was played live?  I can't recall hearing it in any other San Francisco 1969 shows prior to this one.  I'll double check though.

It's interesting to see "As Long As I Have You" so late in the set.  This one was usually an early number within the first three to four songs at most.  But not always.  And speaking of "Whole Lotta Love" being a rarity in the show a little while ago, the song is not even listed on the Black Swan label's artwork.  It definitely is on the second CD and is the last track.  And it definitely was played in this April 26th show too and it is not an added track from some other show used as a space filler like labels sometimes add either.

I really love the sound of Smokestack Lightning.  There may be better sounding versions of this show out there.  The KRW_Co 1st generation transfer with no EQ work is a very, very nice and clean transfer and may be my favorite.  And the dadgad 1st generation transfer (not the 1st generation transfer remaster) is a close second to my ears.  But Black Swan so far takes the cake on the label versions I've listened to today.  And I do think it is a show any Zeppelin fan will like.

I hope you enjoy the concert...

Bad Company: 1976-04-13 Providence, RI (FLAC_AUD Master_2 CD)

This is one of the superb sounding Dan Lampinski master recordings that has surfaced in recent years.  Dan recorded a lot of Boston, Providence, and other area concerts growing up and as he went to college.  His shows have surfaced in recent years as he shared them unaware of the trading people do with their shows like his.  He wasn't hoarding, he just wasn't trading either.

I left the files intact and everything "as is" in this upload because, even though they may not make sense reading the file names, the songs are embedded with the metadata that has the titles and any other information added.  I'm also leaving in the "Dab Lampinski introduction package" (what I call it) in the upload.  Dan took the time to make an introduction package, pdf documents of shows he recorded, and a lot of other things when he started sharing his shows.  And it is interesting stuff to read from what sounds like a really nice and cool guy too.

This recording is really an excellent and even superb capture of the show.  But to be honest, Bad Company doesn't seem to be playing very well to me.  They seem really lazy and almost like they really don't want to be there putting the show on.  It sounds quiet boring in fact without much
to catch my attention musically.  In most cases, I'd rather hear a live show than the same old song over and over on the radio for decades.  But in this case, the radio songs sound a lot better to me than this live show at least in Providence.  And what a shame when you have such a great recording of a classic rock band Led Zeppelin signed to their own Swan Song label.

I listened to this show yesterday as I was doing a few things around the house.  From beginning to end, I let it play.  And Bad Company did seem to play a little better after they left the stage and returned for the encore.  I'll leave that one to your imagination because I do not know why?

I'm just giving an honest opinion of what I think here.  You may or may not agree.  But since it's a free show, you have noting to lose but a little time downloading it.  I'd be curious to see what others think about this performance too.

I hope you enjoy this concert...

I haven't watched this DVD in so long I cannot remember a lot about it.  I'm going to put it in the Blu-Ray player and let it play as I get prepared for some company coming by in a little while.  If I see or hear anything noteworthy, I'll update this web posting and let you know.  But from everything I can see and from what I do recall from the past; this is a great recording of a great Queen show!

I decided to watch this DVD as I was uploading it just now.  And all I have to say is WOWOW!  OK, that's the name of the Japanese TV program airing the concert too.  But this is a great quality show and DVD.

This concert, from Christmas Eve 1975, is a high energy, rock and roll show.  I turned up my subwoofer and the input to it 2 db since the bass is OK but needs some amplification to be much better.  While I could do without Freddie Mercury dancing in silk shorts to the final encore medley songs like "Jailhouse Rock"; I have to admit Brian May (guitar) and John Deacon (bass)
really get down and rock.  This is a great show and it is a really good view into what made Queen one of the most popular rock 'n' roll bands of yesteryear (and still today)!

I hope you enjoy this time capsule from 1975 ...

Queen: 1974-03-31 London, England (FLAC_SB/Pre-FM 2nd Gen Reel_96/24 & 44/16 Copies_1 CD)

I have a few versions of this show but this one and one other are my favorites.  The other is a 1st generation transfer from the master multitrack reel and I may upload it too tonight (actually becoming morning now).  I thought this version being uploaded came from the same source reel earlier, but now I'm not so sure?  It is a 2nd generation copy from a master reel too but has more tracks than the multitrack version does.

I'm uploading the second generation 96 kHz/24 bit version as well as the CD standard 44.1 kHz/16 bit version I down sampled too for anyone just wanting the CD standard, ready to burn-to-disc version.  There will be links for both versions below.

As I mentioned, this copy has a few extra tracks the mutitrack version doesn't have.  And the sound is incredible too even though it is not quiet as sharp as the multitrack version's sound.  Still, I may prefer this version a little more because of the bass end being heard better and the overall mix in the recording.  I definitely like the fact it is more complete also!

This is a superb recording of a Queen show from the days when they were just starting out.  I believe they started in 1973 using the name Queen for the band.  But there are not a lot of great sounding recordings from that era of their history.  There are a few recordings out there but they are not very good sounding as far as the audio quality goes.

I thought I had this show on DVD too.  But it turns out being the 1974-11-20 performance Queen did at the same venue in England that I have.  After I finish uploading the 1974-03-31 material I may upload some early 1970's Queen concert DVD's I have that are pro shot.  The quality looks excellent.  I haven't watched the DVD's in five years or more.  But I'll look at the details on the DVD and upload the video of the concert soon if everything checks out good.

My favorite era of Queen music is the 1970's - mid 1980's.  I know a lot of people like the latter years when the band mellowed out a lot and Freddie Mercury was nearing his death.  But I just don't like that era as much myself. 
I like the rocking era of Queen when Brian May played guitar solos and the band was energetic.  But that's just my preference.  I have a lot of Queen material, most from the 1970's, and I do have material that covers all years.  I figure it's about time I upload a little of it now!

After that last paragraph I got to looking around for a few Queen early years pro shot DVD's and I found some.  As I get some things done around my house today, I may get these DVD's uploading.  I may wait until I can individually create a detailed text file for each or I may go ahead and upload the 6 - 9 GB's of files and let you, the downloader, just copy and paste into a text file what you're reading here.  After all, other than a few changes I make, that is what I'm doing anyhow.  We'll see!

I hope you enjoy this concert...

Led Zeppelin: 1979-07-24 Copenhagen, Denmark (FLAC_AUD Master_2 CD)

Here is the master audience I was wanting to try to upload a few days ago (on 7/24).  This is the second night in Copenhagen out of the two nights Zeppelin played in 1979.  Remember, in 1979 they only did four shows and the two Copenhagen shows were the warmup gigs for their two Knebworth Festival shows a few weeks later.

As with he previous 7/23 Copenhagen upload, this is a share by "weedwacker".  So all thanks goes to him!

LINEAGE:

Master > DAT(4) > CD-R(3) > EAC (secure mode/read offsets corrected) > WAV > FLAC 7 > me > TLH > WAV (to check for lossiness*) > Audacity (to name and embed metadata/track titles and info into file adn re-encode) > FLAC 6 > TLH (to create new ffp & md5 files and verify upload is error free) > you

*The TLH CDDA/MPEG test gave results all over the place.  If this claim of being from a lossless master tape had come from more than about a handful of people ("weedwacker" being one of the handful), I'd have my doubts as to whether or not it had ever been converted into a lossy format.  I went over on  a forum where "weekwacker" and the rest of the handful of people are I'm referring to.  I asked them if they could do a spectral analysis (SA) and frequency analysis (FA) and read the results to confirm this has never been in a lossless format.  I don't know how long or even if I'll get a reply back.  But if I do, I'll update the post with the results over here.  Not checking the audio for lossiness would be one of the most rookie mistakes a person could make and I have no doubt this is a lossless recording with TLH giving bad results like it often does.  But I still wanted to make mention of this for those of you who check the "TLH CDDA Test" text results I included in the upload.  More to follow as any updates are gathered!

Here are some notes from "weedwacker" on this recording.  I'm doing a copy and paste of them from his text file:

Recorded from the floor using an Uher tape deck and Sennheiser mics. This is an excellent audience recording. This is very similar sound-wise to Copenhagen Warmups (TDOLZ) with the exception this is a tad warmer and fuller sounding whereas CW is louder volume wise and a tad flatter sounding from it.


As I mentioned yesterday when I posted the 1979-07-23 Copenhagen show, these master copies do sound better.  I like the 1979-07-23 show better for a few reasons.  But this 7/24 recording's sound is an excellent audio quality too.  The two shows were both recorded by the same taper too.  He did a professional job and all thanks really goes to him (or her?) for sharing their shows.

This is another copy with no artwork so I'm adding the LZ.com memorabilia into a folder and including it in the upload.

I'm going to go ahead and get this show uploaded since I have a few things to get done today.  Depending on how my plans for the day go; I may be able to upload a few shows (various artists) today or I may not be able to upload a show for a day or two.  I'll know more  in the next couple of hours.

Enjoy your Saturday and I hope you enjoy the final Copenhagen warmup show too...

Led Zeppelin: 1973-06-02 San Francisco, CA (FLAC_AUD Master/SB 1st Gen_3 CD)

I've always liked the Kezar Stadium show.  I got a request for this concert I just found and I thought I'd upload it today.  This is an excellent recording sourced from an audience recording that has the soundboard songs that have surfaced (CD 3).  And the soundboard is reportedly sourced from Jimmy Page's cassette recording of the soundboard recording.  I have no idea how that can or cannot be proven or verified, but it still sounds good to me.  I'm just learning of this through examining a few of the soundboard recordings source from this same lineage claim.

This is a show I should've uploaded a long time ago.  I'm actually listening to this version I'm sharing for the first time today.  And it is very, very enjoyable.  The audience recording is one you can crank up and jam to.  It's very well mixed instrumentally.  And the soundboard, whether it comes from Jimmy Page's cassette or not, it another excellent 1973 partial soundboard too.  It starts up as "Moby Dick' gets going and really sounds great.  There are some flaws but this is really an excellent recording overall.  And it's a show every Led Zeppelin fan should have and check out for free!

I added the memorabilia and photos from the oifficial LedZeppelin.com site to a folder.  There are about 50 - 60 low resolution images and other memorabilia  from 1973/06/02 Kezar Stadium show that are very cool to look at through.

I hope you enjoy this great night and historic night...

Led Zeppelin: 1979-07-23 Copenhagen, Denmark (FLAC_AUD Master_2 CD)

I had planned on uploading the master audience recordings on 2014-07-23 and 24 of the Copenhagen 1979 shows on their 35th anniversary but I ran out of time.  So even though the 35th anniversary has come and gone for each of these shows, and even though I've uploaded the superb TDOLZ versions of both shows in the past, I'm going ahead and uploading the 1979-07-23 master audience recording of the first night out of the two in Copenhagen in 1979 right now.  This recording is the best for this date and I did not have it (I don't think I did) back when I uploaded the TDOLZ versions a year or two ago.

All thanks goes to "weedwacker" for both Copenhagen 1979 masters and for transferring them and sharing them with us.  These two shows, one of which I'm uploading now, are arguably two of the best all-time Led Zeppelin audience recordings in sound quality.

The TDOLZ version, named Copenhagen Warmups, blows my old Silver Rarities version's sound out of the water.  Back when I had originally uploaded the TDOLZ Copenhagen Warmups copies I'd stated, "The TDOLZ version is the best sounding versions of either show that I've ever heard".  It is still up there at the very top and it is difficult to decide which is better even today.  But I am convinced the unaltered master copy being shared here today is the very best I've run across so far.  Read underneath the links for more details on why it is the best.  But for now, I'm moving on to the show details.

Here are some notes from "weedwacker" on this recording.  I'm doing a copy and paste of them from his text file:

Recorded from the floor using an Uher tape deck and Sennheiser mics. This is an excellent audience recording. This is very similar sound-wise to Copenhagen Warmups (TDOLZ) with the exception this is a tad warmer and fuller sounding whereas CW is louder volume wise and a tad flater sounding from it.


The above notes are very true.  I looked at the waveform for both TDOLZ's Copenhagen Warmups and this master audience recording.  And the recording level on the master tapes is lower than the amplified version released by TDOLZ.  I could see why it was amplified by TDOLZ, however, it did not need to be.  I do not understand why the amplification causes a flatter sound in the audio, but something does and I know "weedwacker" is a qualified Zeppelin fan capable of determining this.  And the master audience recordings definitely are a cleaner and more full sounding final product too.

The amplified version put out by TDOLZ is still superb but the tracks do have a flatter sound.  I likely would not have noticed (or known) what the cause of the slight sound difference was had I not read "weekwacker's" notes.  But without any doubt in my mind, this unaltered master recording is the best of them all.

Enjoy the show...

Led Zeppelin: 1977-07-24 Oakland, CA (FLAC_AUD Source 1 & 2 Mix_3 CD)

If you saw my post yesterday, then you know that 37 years ago today Led Zeppelin played their last American show ever!  It was at the Day on the Green concert event that ran for many years (1973 - 1991) and was put on by te famous promoter Bill Graham.  After his death in 1991, the event was never held again as far as I know.  My two favorite bands, Journey and Led Zeppelin, were both a part of it and played Day on the Green though!

This recording of Led Zeppelin's last American show is a mix of the sources 1 and 2 recordings.  Source 1 is commonly referred to as the Silver Rarities recording and source 2 is referred to as the Missing Link source.  Both references are the bootleg label names the sources are associated with.  There are other sources/recordings that have surfaced of this show too.  For instance, I also had a source 3 recording but it is nowhere near as good in sound quality as sources 1 or 2 are.

I sometimes wonder what Led Zeppelin might have done differently (musically speaking) had they known this was going t be their last American show ever.  And I've come to this conclusion.  Nothing!  Every show was unique and different already so they really didn't need to change the recipe up at all.  After all, 'the song never remained the same' long enough to get bored by it.

LINEAGE:
Silver CD's > FLAC > WAV > FLAC > me > TLH (to decode as WAV and test for lossiness) > Audacity (to embed metadata/song titles and info into files and re-encode) > FLAC 6 > TLH (to confirm project is error free and to create and verify new md5 & ffp files) > you

ADDITIONAL LINEAGE NOTES (copy & paste):
Source 2:
Title: "Final Ever In The States"
Label: Missing Link (ML-014/15)
Lineage: Silvers > EAC > WAV > FLAC

Source 1 is the more familiar recording from this date, which is pretty clear and well-balanced, but plagued with cuts in at least six songs and between many numbers; source 2 is more complete, but not as clear--therefore I opted to use source 2 only to patch the missing pieces of source 1. Both recordings varied in pitch throughout, so a true "matrix" would've been extremely difficult and more of an undertaking than I was willing to tackle. The only thing of note that's really missing are the first few seconds (5-6 seconds at most) of 'The Battle of Evermore', which was missed by both tapers.

Here's a breakdown of what I did to create this version of the show:

*Pitch-corrected source 1
*Patched missing pieces of source 1 with source 2 (after matching the pitch)
*Restored the correct running order, with 'Trampled Under Foot' coming between 'Bron-Y-Aur Stomp' and 'White Summer/Black Mountain Side'--source 1 mistakenly had it after 'Kashmir'
*Evened out volume in each channel where necessary (not in too many places)
*Removed approximately one zillion semi-faint digital clicks, mostly in the right channel of source 1


Since the person who did the work on this two source mix didn't sign their text file, I've got no clue who they are and cannot give them credit in this post.  But if they're out there and see this post, thanks for putting together this mix!

Memorabilia from the LedZeppelin.com official site is all I was able to find as far as any artwork related material goes.  It's in a folder titled "memorabilia".  I don't like mixing artwork from other labels even if the setlist matches because it can muddy the waters in the lineage as it gets spread around.

This show is more enjoyable and better spounding  than the previous days show in my opinion.  The recordings are cleaner.  I think the band sounds more energetic and tight in the way they play the songs too.  Maybe they were ready for a break and were glad this was the last show on their 1977 tour and it showed in their performance?  Who can really say or know?

"Mystery Train", also played in San Diego on this 1977 tour, is played in this last USA Zeppelin show but they finished off this show without "Black Dog" which they had played the day before.  Nobody could have known at the time that this was going to be the last time Led Zeppelin played in the United States
.  So this became a very historic show if for no other reason than that.

I may upload some other copies, mixes, versions, or whatever of this show today and/or the 1979-07-24 Copenhagen master audience recording from 35 years ago today a little later too?  I'll just have to see how long it takes and if I have time to do it.

I hope you enjoy the concert...Led Zeppelin's last American show...

Led Zeppelin: 1977-07-23 Oakland, CA (FLAC_AUD Source 1_3 CD)

July 23rd and 24th are simultaneous special days with Led Zeppelin shows.  The 7/23 and 7/24 1977 shows were the last two shows ever in America.  And the dates were their two warmup dates in Copenhagen in 1979 as they prepared for what would wind up being Led Zeppelin's final tour ever.  A year later, drummer John Bonham died and the group disbanded.

So in celebration of their second to last show ever in America, here is the source 1 recording of that show played 37 years ago today.

LINEAGE:
Unknown low gen. analog source tape > CD-R > EAC > WAV > Goldwave (used for track splitting) > TLH > FLAC > me > TLH (to decode as WAV and test for lossiness*) > Audacity (to embed metadata/song titles and info into files and re-encode) > FLAC 6 > TLH (to reconfirm project is error free and to create and verify new md5 & ffp files) > you

* The TLH CDDA/MPEG test, not a good source for lossiness testing, has mixed results on this show.  The show is likely lossless and fine, but if you want to confirm via FA and SA methods, please do and let me know.  The reason I am trusting this is lossless is due to the names associated with this copy.  They're well respected in the Zeppelin boots and remastering fields and they would not put up a lossy show.  TLH is notorious for giving bad test results to good, lossless recordings and this is likely another example of that happening!

Nobody knew this was going to be Led Zeppelin's second from last show in America.  But it was.  Three years later John Bonham died and the band called it quits.  Putting aside the small reunion shows like 1985's Live Aid, Led Zeppelin has never played America again and likely never will.

There seem to be two sources for this show and if I can find the time today I'll upload Source 2.

Memorabilia from the LedZeppelin.com official site is all I was able to find as far as any artwork related material goes.  I downloaded the low resolution ticket scan, articles about this sold out show, and other materials and put them into a folder.  It's great to see that Led Zeppelin did go out in style in the USA at least and closed with sold out shows.  But really?  I mean; what else would you expect from them anyhow :-)

I hope you enjoy the concert...

Even though I uploaded another copy of this show from a request for it a little over six weeks ago, I figured I'd go ahead and upload this version of it today and on it's 41st Anniversary.

This is the Empress Valley Supreme Disc copy of the show.  I am leaving this upload "as is" because today I do not have the time to do all the work I normally do to a project.  I will check for lossiness, verify the supplied ffp file, and copy and paste this web page's info as the text file.  I can do all of this fast.  But I'm not naming the tracks or embedding the metadata information into them today.

Seems like today is another anniversary too.  It's the 45th anniversary of man landing on the moon.  So just four year later Led Zeppelin landed (not for the first time though) on Rhode Island.  It kind of puts into perceptive how long ago this show really was.

I hope you enjoy this great night and historic night...

Led Zeppelin: 1977-07-17 Seattle, WA (FLAC_SB_3 CD)

I just realized this is my 100th Zeppelin upload here at BBBB!

Here is an upgrade in sound quality I believe to the EVSD copy of this same show I uploaded two years (and a day) ago.  I'd wanted to upload this last night on it's 37th anniversary when I realized what the date was.  But I just didn't have time before I had to get to sleep.  And wouldn't you know it?  I still didn't sleep like I was trying to so I'm up much earlier than I planned.

Anyhow, this is the Tarantura 2000 copy of the show and this is suppose to be straight from the soundboard and not a video rip.  Oh yea, I guess one of these days I'll have to upload one of the DVD sets for this show too :-)

LINEAGE:

* This is one of those examples where TLH miserably failed at the CDDA test.  I left the TLH CDDA Test text file I created in the upload so you can see for yourself.  It shows to be with a 95% likeliness to be an MPEG (lossy) source.  But it isn't and there is a FA (frequency analysis) jpeg of the testing done on the audio in a better way of getting accurate results.  This was verified too by others and it is NOT a lossy recording.

It's been stated that Tarantura put a little reverb in the audio as well as brought the audience noise up a little between songs on this release.  The same person who shared this recording and made those statements also states this is from a video rip and they believe it is not truly straight from the soundboard as Tarantura clains it is.  I'm not sure myself.  But it does sound like a better recording than the other 5 copies of this date I have on my hard drive.

I want to try and locate the Genuine Masters and Watchtower label releases of this show.  I have neither of those and they are both great labels that do great work.  They reportedly use this same source that Tarantura 2000 used here.  I personally like the sound on this version and I think most of you will too.


Enjoy the show...

Def Leppard: 2014-07-13 Dallas, TX (FLAC_Bootradr Master AUD_44.1 kHz/16 bit_1 CD)

First off, I'd like to say thank you Andy for the tickets to this show!  If it hadn't been  for his generosity I wouldn't have been able to have been at this concert event.  I had an excellent time Sunday night in Dallas at the KISS/Def Leppard concerts.  It was a blast and both bands rocked out all night.

The KISS show will be up within a few days at most.  I'll get it uploaded as soon as I have a chance to do the work putting it together.

I'm uploading a 44.1 kHz/16 bit and 96 kHz/24 bit version of both the Def Leppard show and the Kiss show when all is said and done.  I already uploaded the 96/24 version and this is the 44/16 (CD standard) version being uploaded now.

I'm also including about 50 high resolution photos I shot (out of over 500 the whole night).  I was able to get some great shots of both bands thankfully with my Canon SX30IS camera I slipped in.  Well, they really don't care anymore and the girl taking tickets and "inspecting" bags saw it in my camera bag because I really didn't even try to hide it.  But I didn't wear it around me neck walking in so I "slipped" it in :-)

Anyhow, I'm hoping two things will come out of the images.  I'm hoping (a) someone will create some high quality artwork and share it and (b) someone will take the 96/24 audio version and create a DVD-A using the photos.  My DVD-A creating experience has led me to believe I do not have a program that does it losslessly.  If anyone feels like doing this, please leave a comment and let me know.  If not, enjoy the shots!

It was suppose to reach 100°F Sunday and it very well may have.  Joe Elliott mentioned the Phoenix show being hot but he said it was not as hot as it was in Dallas.  I really can't imagine why the artists get up on stage wearing coats and stuff that.  It would make you extra hot (well, Kiss has to I guess).  But whatever the reason, they do and he was right.  The Texas heat is here and for the next few months each outdoor concert is likely to only get hotter.

But the heat didn't seem to bother anyone in the crowd and by the time Def Leppard was halfway through their set the crowd was getting more and more excited and into the show and had forgotten about any heat.

I haven't seen KISS since 1985 whereas I've seen Def Leppard a half dozen times in recent years (since early 2000's).  I have to say I was honestly blown away by both bands.  Def Leppard had never sounded better (as far as when I've heard them live) than in their show in Dallas on 2012-09-03.  Or so I thought!  I believe this show was a better played and better sounding show than the previous 2012 Dallas show even.  And the 2012 show was indoors too.  And KISS was much, much better than I was expecting too.  They put on a superb sounding, very cool special effects rock 'n' roll show.  I'm still trying to decide which band I enjoyed more?

I hope you enjoy the concert...

First off, I'd like to say thank you Andy for the tickets to this show!  If it hadn't been  for his generosity I wouldn't have been able to have been at this concert event.  I had an excellent time Sunday night in Dallas at the KISS/Def Leppard concerts.  It was a blast and both bands rocked out all night.

The KISS show will be up within a few days at most.  I'll get it uploaded as soon as I have a chance to do the work putting it together.

I'm uploading a 44.1 kHz/16 bit and 96 kHz/24 bit version of both the Def Leppard show and the Kiss show when all is said and done.  For right now, I'm uploading the 96/24 Def Leppard show (this upload) with the 44/16 to follow right behind it.

I'm also including about 50 high resolution photos I shot (out of over 500 the whole night).  I was able to get some great shots of both bands thankfully with my Canon SX30IS camera I slipped in.  Well, they really don't care anymore and the girl taking tickets and "inspecting" bags saw it in my camera bag because I really didn't even try to hide it.  But I didn't wear it around me neck walking in so I "slipped" it in :-)

Anyhow, I'm hoping two things will come out of the images.  I'm hoping (a) someone will create some high quality artwork and share it and (b) someone will take the 96/24 audio and create a DVD-A using the photos.  My DVD-A creating experience has led me to believe I do not have a program that does it losslessly.  If anyone feels like doing this, please leave a comment and let me know.  If not, enjoy the shots!

It was suppose to reach 100°F Sunday and it very well may have.  Joe Elliott mentioned the Phoenix show being hot but he said it was not as hot as it was in Dallas.  I really can't imagine why the artists get up on stage wearing coats and stuff that.  It would make you extra hot (well, Kiss has to I guess).  But whatever the reason, they do and he was right.  The Texas heat is here and for the next few months each outdoor concert is likely to only get hotter.

But the heat didn't seem to bother anyone in the crowd and by the time Def Leppard was halfway through their set the crowd was getting more and more excited and into the show and had forgotten about any heat.

I haven't seen KISS since 1985 whereas I've seen Def Leppard a half dozen times in recent years (since early 2000's).  I have to say I was honestly blown away by both bands.  Def Leppard had never sounded better (as far as when I've heard them live) than in their show in Dallas on 2012-09-03.  Or so I thought!  I believe this show was a better played and better sounding show than the previous 2012 Dallas show even.  And the 2012 show was indoors too.  And KISS was much, much better than I was expecting too.  They put on a superb sounding, very cool special effects rock 'n' roll show.  I'm still trying to decide which band I enjoyed more?

I hope you enjoy the concert...

Led Zeppelin: 1970-09-02 Oakland, CA (FLAC_AUD 3rd Gen. Source 1_2 CD)

This is a second recording of a show I just uploaded a few days ago.  I don't know yet if the same source that recorded this current upload  also was the same source as the previous upload I recently made.  I haven't inspected both copies well enough yet to determine.  Either way, this is what is considered to be the Source 1, 3rd Gen copy.

I'm uploading this copy "as is" (just how I got it).  I'm doing the regular confirmations on the files and lossless audio quality confirmation too.   Looking at the lineage, and then double checking via software, these files have been embedded with metadata (information that will display on screen of players that show the data) by the person my copy came from.  I like it when people take the extra time to do things like that.

LINEAGE:
3rd Gen > DAT > CDRn > FLAC > decoded to WAV, appended, and cleaned up (track transitions and repeat) with Adobe Audition 3.0.1 > Tracked with CD Wave > re-encoded to FLAC 8 with Flac Frontend, and then tagged and verified > me > TLH (to decode as WAV and test for lossiness) > TLH (to check for SBE's and to verify original ffp and st5 files) > you

I'm not sure if there is a source 2, 3, or any other sources.  But I do know I didn't find any other sources or artwork for sources claiming to be source 1.  If all recordings came from one source, then that would make sense and until a new source surfaced you'd not likely list any copy as "Source 1".  So this may be an entirely different recording than the one I uploaded a week or so ago.  It can be verified and I'm listening now as I finish the uploading and typing here so I can check.  If I find anything newsworthy, I'll come back and update the information here.

I hope you enjoy the concert...
