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...
