Led Zeppelin: 1973-03-24 Offenurg, Germany (FLAC_AUD Source 1 & 2 Mix_2 CD)

Here is another show that was recently requested and I had some time to get uploaded before I try to go to bed tonight.  This is the Eddie Edwards two source mix of the Offenburg, Germany concert on 1973-03-24.

This two source mix is made up of the source 1, unknown generation audio and the source 2, third generation audio.  Source 1 is the better sound and is the primary audio source in this copy.  The source 2, third generation recording is used to fill in a gap missing in "Dazed and Confused" and for missing audio between tracks (i.e the crowd and some band talk).

LINEAGE:
(1) Source 1: Unknown Gen tape > DAT > CD-R
(2) Source 2: 3rd Gen tape > DAT > CD-R
(3) No lineage given after "CD-R" > FLAC >
me > TLH > WAV (to test for lossiness) > 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

This is a great stereo recording, but one channel in the audio had some problems and it resulted in some sound issues in parts of the show unfortunately.  From what I have read, someone did a mono conversion of the show in another copy (I don't have) removing the bad channel and replacing it with the good channel's audio.  But the information also said it really ruined the show and took away from the already great sound.  So this is still the better recording.

The sound in this copy being shared now has been referred to as a "3D stereo sound" from what I was reading.  I'm not fully sure what that means when listening to the show, but it is an enjoyable recording and a great show from the band.

The audio problems mentioned are not throughout the entire show but do occur and mess up some songs.  The source 1 recording, again the best, is the most widely known and used source on the shows out there and it also is the source with the audio issues.  So unless you're listening to a lesser source not sounding as good, you will hear what I'm talking about.

The zipped folder/file for this show has a long name.  So I recommend unzipping it in a short path folder (like C:\\0) temporarily and then moving the files where you want to put them in order to avoid any unzipping issues.

I hope you enjoy this show..

  1. Thank you! I've seen some releases with Dancing Days placed between Since I've Been Loving You and Bron-Yr-Aur. My copy of the A Group edition claims to have it in the text, though the song is missing. Can't wait to hear this version.
