Led Zeppelin: 1975-03-21 Seattle, WA (DVD-A_AUD 1st Gen Source 1 & 2 Masters Mix_1 DL DVD)

Here's another excellent Zeppelin show from from 39 years ago today.  There are a ton of versions/labels for this show but this one is the best in my opinion.  And it's in the DVD-A (DVD Audio) format too and has a slideshow of photos from the show as the music plays.  Plus, it's at a higher sample rate (48 kHz) and higher bitrate (24 bit) too giving us higher quality audio.  This is likely the definitive edition for this show!

LINEAGE: (copy & paste from included text file)

The majority of this show is the Source 1 recording.  Source 2 was used to fill in gaps missing from Source 1 such as those when the master reels (tapes) were being changed.  The information above, as well as the text file from the original uploader, explains things in more detail.

Rather than waste time by creating my own text and checksum files, I uploaded the file set exactly the same way as I got it.  I was gone much of the day today and figured it'd be a lot quicker to just upload the file set the way it was while I was gone and not wait until I got home, organized things the way I like them organized, and then start uploading the show.

The original sharer put the md5 checksum file into the VIDEO_TS folder.  With most DVD burning programs that isn't an issue at all.  But there are some programs that won't burn a DVD with that file in the main video folder.  But it's no problem.  All you have to do is move the file titled "VIDEO_TS.md5" and put it anywhere (like in the EXTRAS_TS folder for instance) outside of the VIDEO_TS folder.  And if you want to run the checksum file, to verify the file set's contents, just add it back to the VIDEO_TS folder and check it from there.

I hope you enjoy this gem from 39 years ago...
