Led Zeppelin: 1975-02-12 New York, NY (FLAC_SB/AUD Mix_3 CD)

Today is the 40th anniversary of this superb sounding soundboard and audience mix recording of Led Zeppelin's New York Madison Square Garden concert.  I've never really counted how many times the band bounced back and forth to New York's Madison Square Garden on this 1975 tour, but it is a lot!

Ironically, after typing the previous paragraph I heard Robert Plant saying "...this is ah, what we could consider to be the last of the New York concerts.  We got the Nassau County ones,  but we've always dug playing the Garden.  So tonight, we're going to have a really ecstatic one..."

This is the full 3 CD copy of the show and it sounds superb.  It is a mix of EVSD's Flying Circus soundboard release and Jerry Moore's superb master audience recording put together to make a complete show.

There are so many recordings of this show that I don't even really know how many.  Every label just about has put out the soundboard recording with their own tampering of the audio as well as many have put out various source audience recordings too.  A few fans have done nixes too and I imagine I have a matrix or two also but would need to check to verify that.

There really are no bad soundboard recordings of this show since they are all sourced from the same soundboard recording itself.  Some labels have done better jobs than others as is always the case.  But they all sound superb in my opinion.  And the band sounds even better!

Physical Graffiti, the LP they're touring on, still had not been released yet so as I've mentioned in some of the previous and earlier 1975 tour shows I've uploaded, many people are hearing the new songs for the first time.

By this point in the 1975 touring, Led Zeppelin pretty much had their primary setlist, with changes in different shows at times, nailed down and they had perfected their show.  What makes me the happiest about this part of the tour, besides the soundboard recordings that have surfaced, is the fact the band had put "No Quarter" and "Dazed and Confused" in and they remained through the last show in 1975 which was at Earl's Court in London on 1975-05-25.  And if you have never gotten that show's DL DVD I uploaded here a good while back, you have to.  It is one of my top five favorite videos of a Led Zeppelin show and it is pro shot too.  It is a "must have" for any Zeppelin fan!  If it takes you a day, a week, or however long to download it; or if it pushes you to buy a temporary FileFactory account to get it, you just have too.

Not really relevant to this post, but important nevertheless, I will be adding a second file sharing site (or mirror site) this year.  I've always had one but have lost too many of them as they've either been shut down for allowing illegal material on their sites, or as in the case of the old Megaupload site, they were involved in organized crime.  Even though FileFactory isn't the most "free user friendly" and it takes longer to download larger shows, they have been reliable and seem to be enforcing laws many other sites I've had ignored.  Ao they have stayed in business and I haven't lost money by relying on them.

There is one site I am not going to name now that I am watching and keeping an eye on, and if they remain great like they seem to be, I'll eventually add them as a mirror site for extra downloading links making it easier for the free downloaders to get shows faster.  This specific file sharing site is so much more "free user friendly" and they provide very high speed downloads, simultaneous links at the same time, and they don't make you jump through hoops and type in hard to read codes to get a show like 99% of the file sharing sites do in an attempt to try and push impatient people into buying accounts to get what they want.  I look at it this way.  As long as you are patient, no matter if it takes hours or even weeks, this is all being provided to you for FREE.  It cost me having to buy software, file sharing site accounts, and doing a lot of other things to get these shows out to you.  But I enjoy it and I do not mind.  And I never ask for a penny in return because I want to keep things legal, avoid troubles, and make it where others can get what I share and enjoy it.  There are no halos over my head or anything.  I just enjoy making others happy and know how it felt to find a show for the first time and the joy that came with it (and still does at times).  So I'm not asking for anything in return.

I hope you enjoy this show..
