Led Zeppelin: 1972-12-23 London, England (FLAC_AUD 2nd Gen_2 CD)

Here is the second night at London's Alexandra Palace in 1972 and it's an excellent recording.  And as you might expect, it was 42 years ago today!

It's interesting how the setlist is the same as the night before as well as the length of this recording is about a minute longer.  I know John Paul Jones' organ solo and "Thank You" are not on the source 2 recording of the 1972-12-22 show, the one I'm comparing this too, so it is incomplete.  However, source 1 from the 1972-12-22 show has those two tracks (but starts late in the show).  It makes me wonder if this 1972-12-23 recording may be incomplete too and missing those tracks?  Maybe the taper ran out of tape?  I really don't know.  Led Zeppelin mixed up their setlists so often and rarely played all of the the same songs in the same order two nights in a row.

LINEAGE:
2nd Gen cassette > CD-R (2) > EAC > FLAC 8 > me > TLH > WAV (to test for lossines) > Audacity (to view waveform, embed  metadata/track titles & info, and then to re-encode) > FLAC 8 > TLH (to check for SBE's and create and verify new ffp & md5 files) > you


NOTE:
While the enclosed TLH CDDA Test results text file I added looks suspicious, there is no doubt this is a lossless copy due to the sources ("KRW_Co") who originally shared this material!  The test results are just another case of TLH giving bad information as it is known to do in this one area of its many excellent features and functions.

There is some audio clipping when looking at the waveform but it isn't anything audible.  I imagine the taper had their record level turned up a little too high but I'm not sure.

This night has a better, more full sound than the previous night's recording played at the same venue.  I haven't researched it to see, but this may be the same taper on both nights and that's why they're also both 2nd generation copies and were both transferred by KRW_Co..

I hope you enjoy the second night in London...
