Led Zeppelin: 1972-02-25 Auckland, New Zealand (FLAC_AUD Source 1_2 CD)

Today is the 43rd anniversary of this Led Zeppelin Auckland, New Zealand show.  Akashic, the label, did a great job on this release and it sounds excellent!

I can only guess why the recording is less than 90 minutes.  And without any real idea, I'd imagine the taper only brought on 90 minute tape maybe.  I don't even know how long tapes were back in 1972, so who knows for sure?  But this is what we have and it is really enjoyable.

This is not the complete show unfortunately, but regardless of that, it is an excellent recording of what was captured.  At times there is a little flutter or static in the left and right channels.  But it isn't anything horrible and it definitely is not the show ruining kind of static.  Plus, it is very low volume and not the kind that hurts ears or is even very noticeable.

The taper got a really great recording of the show and Robert Plant sounds like he's standing right in front of you.  The same goes with the rest of the band's instruments too.  This is the source 1 recording and it is surely the best one for this show.  I'm not saying the label's copy is necessarily the very best, but I like it a lot.

The Akashic processing of the audio for their silver CD pressings makes the TLH CDDA test look a little suspicious.  But this is not a lossy copy.

I hope you enjoy this show..
