Page & Plant: 1996-02-06 Tokyo, Japan (DVD_AUD Shot Master Remaster_1 DVD)

This is a show that has been requested for close to two months now.  It is the remaster of the Page and Plant 1996-02-06 Tokyo, Japan audience shot show filmed by Third Eye.

This is an excellent sounding show but unfortunately Jimmy Page's guitar is not heard as well as it should be.  I think it was a sound issue with the venue or soundman on this night because when he picks up other guitars, like his double neck Gibson, he can be heard better.  It's when he plays his primary Gibson Les Paul that the sound is not right or loud enough in my opinion.  But the video shot was done very nicely and the audio does sound excellent for the most part.

One other thing I wish was not the case in this DVD is the lackluster sounding performance on this night.  It just doesn't seem like the band was really into the music as much on this night as they were on the other Japanese 1996 shows.

Robert Plant does sound great vocally on this night and Michael Lee is awesome on the drums.  I'm sure Jimmy Page was doing a great job as well but it just isn't as easy to hear his guitar in this one show.  But I'm not trying to discourage anyone from checking it out.  You may not agree with my review anyhow?

There are a few tiny errors in the show or more specifically the recording.  It is nothing major and just small things like a few split second dropouts in the audio and video.  A few times the sound lessens some also from the microphone being  covered or pointed away it sounds like.  But again, it is not for any long periods of times and these are just small issues that are few and far in between each other.

I have this 2006 Third Eye 1 DVD copy I am uploading today.  There is a 2 DVD copy of this same, exact recording but it is not really any better quality wise.  The picture is slightly sharper and the audio used is 256 kbps audio.  But it is not anything noticeable and it was done on a standalone DVD burner with the automatic 5 minute chapters and no menus to pick and choose individual songs if you want to do that.  The chapters are not at the beginning of the songs and navigating through the show and it is not as easy as it is with this 1 DVD copy built much better.

I am including the artwork for the 2 DVD copy and it makes me wonder if a more professionally built 2 DVD copy may exist.  I can always upload the 2 DVD copy I have and spoke about in the future if anyone wants it bad enough.

A special thanks goes out to "Amduscia" for sharing this copy over on R-O!

I hope you enjoy the show...

The waveform in this Baby Face label copy is excellent and has no clipping.  This is a great sounding show with an excellent setlist as well.

I haven't compared this Baby Face label copy lately to the other master audience copy I've uploaded a year ago.  And since I am in a hurry to get it uploaded this morning because I have a lot to do today, I'm not going to have time to plug in the drive with the master copy as well as a few other copies and compare them this morning.  My primary reason for uploading this copy today is that it was a request a few months ago and I am finally getting the time to get to it today.

I hope you enjoy this show...

Page & Plant: 1998-11-19 Milano, Italy + Italy Bonus TV Extras (Video_AUD Shot 1st Gen_1 DL DVD)

This DVD of the 1998 Jimmy Page & Robert Plant performance in Milano, Italy was requested about a month ago and I am finally able to upload it today.  This is an excellent recording and a pretty good job by the taper of getting some good, close up video of the show too.  It is not perfect and at times the camera either is messing up or the generation of the tape may be the issue causing the video to look a little grainy.  But it is still an very enjoyable DL DVD and one of the best performances by Page on "No Quarter" in the 1998 tour I believe.

The audio is very good and on the great-to-excellent side of things I'd say.  It too isn't without flaws but they are the kind of flaws I can deal with too.  The audience is very excited but the recording seems to be pretty well balanced in not having a lot of audience noise during the music.  The audio is straight from the video recorder's audio track on the master VHS.  There seems to be some distortion in places but it is not bad and that would be almost expected using an older 1980's - 1990's VHS video camera.

As I mentioned already, the video goes between real clean and sharp video to a grainy, pixilated looking video throughout the show.  I'm not sure of the cause but the sharing party I got the show through mentions they think it was due to a camera malfunction.  I don't think this is the case however.  To me, this seems more like a lighting issue as well as the generation of the tape too.  It may even be an interference introduced in the transfer of the video tape when it was done or possibly heads that needed cleaning that could have caused the issue?  The camera's chip set (and it may not have had one) may have been an issue too but the drastic change I believe is due to this tape's transfer and generation most likely.

There are some tracking issues at the bottom of the screen but they take up a small portion of the screen and again do not ruin anything.  A good head cleaning might have fixed that on the video recorder or the SVHS recorder it had been transferred too?  It's all speculation on my part of course and this is not meant to belittle the great quality and job done on this DVD project either.  I've just seen similar issues occur when I had old VHS recorders with heads needing cleaning or even adjustments and alignments in years past.  I have a room right now with about 6 - 10 4-head Hi-Fi VHS recorders in it and even an SVHS recorder that all work great.  They just need head cleaning and alignment of heads to function at 100% full quality and nowadays you have to do this stuff yourself since repair shops have disappeared in today's disposable digital society.

The video is listed as a first generation VHS tape that was transferred correctly and digitally to a digital PC format.  But I think the generation may be a little higher than what the party building the DVD was originally told most likely.  I could be wrong though.  I'll upload a sample of my favorite song in this show and most of it is in the higher quality, cleaner looking moments too.  But you should see the moments where the video changes and looks grainy with no question of where it may be.

The band sounds especially superb on this night and they seem very musically charged!  Jimmy Page especially does and he plays like he is playing in a 1975 Led Zeppelin show more that like in a 1998 Page & Plant show it seems.  He is putting his heart and soul into the music and the solos are longer in many songs as well.  Just when you think he's about to finish up and get back into the chorus of the song, he adds something new and picks it all up again just like he did in the day.  "No Quarter" is one of the best versions of the song played on the tour I believe and what makes it great for me is Page's long and awesome solo and what he puts into it.  "Babe I'm Going To Leave You" is the same and he plays it with a longer version of the 1998 additional part he added in during the tour.  Robert Plant sounds like he is having a great time and feeling a little nostalgic or in the "Zep Daze" too it seems.  The rest of the band is doing an excellent job as well and there is some really great, John Bonham looking almost, video of the late Michael Lee banging away on the drums at full speed and force very powerfully.  I was always amazed by how well he pulled off taking over John Bonham's shoes in the two tours Page & Plant used him on their two tours.  There is no replacing John Bonham of course.  But if you needed someone to try and do an excellent job, well Michael Lee was the guy I think.

I really wish I had been able to have watched this full show again before uploading it overnight.  It has been a few years since I've seen it from start to finish.  But I did watch a good amount of it last night and some as I was sick and trying to recover from a 7 day stomach virus over the last week.  It was hard to pay attention to anything as I slept on the couch and kept running back and forth to the restroom all week.  But I did get to lay back and listen and enjoy it through the home setup off and on.

I'm really grateful to "ZoSo64" for sharing this DL DVD in February of 2010 on Dime and all thanks for sharing it.  He not only shared it but he also built the DVD using high quality methods and he created the artwork for the show too.  He was unable to recall the information on the Italian taper that recorded the show and he got it from.  But a huge thanks goes out to him too!

I hope you enjoy the show...

Page & Pant: 1998-09-23 Las Vegas, NV (DVD_Pro Shot & AUD Shot_SB/Pre-FM Master Audio_1 DL DVD)

This version of this show was recently requested by a friend and I'm getting a chance to finally upload it tonight.  This is the upgraded version of the Las Vegas 1998 Page & Plant show and it uses the master pre-FM audio Jimmy Page reportedly did not want to use or air (it's excellent so I don't know why) rather than the mono audio on the more common version of the show from Third Eye.

The video is also made up of about 1/3 of the show sourced from a pro shot video source and then the other2/3 being sourced from the Third Eye audience shot source.  These are just rough estimates but I believe they're close.  The audio used throughout the whole show is the LPCM pre-FM soundboard master audio.  This is an excellent copy of the show and the very best I know of so far.

At first I thought the audio for the show was a matrix of the SB/pre-FM material and an audience audio source (probably Third Eye's recording).  But I realized this was not the case and this may be why Page didn't like this audio and did not want to air it.  It sounds like the crowd can definitely be heard in between songs louder than usual but still not at all bad sounding.  I actually like this audio better than if it had no crowd noise at all in between songs like some recordings have.  There is no explanations or information as to why Page did not like the audio and would not let it be aired.  And it's purely speculation on my part that it may be because it has a matrix and louder audience noise sound to it.

The text file that came with this DL DVD was very limited with information in it.  There was no lineage, no explaining anything, and really nothing other than a setlist and some basic here it is.  The sharing party did state they had higher expectations and plans for the project but they didn't have time to do the work they'd wanted to do so they were just uploading it.  And that's fine.  There is no menu but there are chapters for each song.

I have no idea if the rest of the show had been professionally shot or where this pro shot part of it came from.  But thankfully it was available to add.  And of course Third Eye's work, as almost always, is very good too.

I recently got the full 2 DVD Third Eye copy of this same Las Vegas show and I may upload it too eventually.  But since this copy is the better copy and a definite upgrade as far as sound and video goes, it was an easy choice to upload this LPCM audio copy with a good amount of pro shot video.  And it was the copy requested anyhow.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Page & Plant: 1995-05-17 Inglewood, CA (DVD_AUD Shot Remaster_LPCM_1 DL DVD)

I am uploading this Jimmy Page & Robert Plant 1995 show tonight because it was requested a few weeks ago by a friend on my Facebook BBBB page.  This is the better of the two copies of this show I have too because it has the LPCM audio and it is a DL DVD.

I just realized something else that I believe makes it better and it comes at an ironic moment.  This is a Blockbuster Production of the Third Eye Productions video.  In other words, "Blockbuster" took the "Third Eye" copy of the show and made his project of it.  And "Blockbuster" is someone who does superb work and really makes superb video projects.

The ironic factor to all of this I'll explain the best I can.  I just private messaged "Blockbuster" about some videos he had sent me a few months ago and I just wanted to see how he has been doing since I last talked with him.  I had been thinking about him over the last week or two since I haven't heard from him lately.  As I was sending a PM to "Blockbuster" before I began preparing this upload, I had no idea that "Blockbuster", a friend that has really helped me out a lot with both audio and video items related to Led Zeppelin, was the one that had created this project I had been planning on sharing.  At the request of my other great friend, Joe, who has also helped me out with some awesome cassette tapes I'm helping him out with transferring, it all came toghether that one friend is really helping two more.

The relationships and friendships I've been able to build with fellow traders and collectors over the years is one of the things I really enjoy the most about this whole "hobby" (for lack of a better word).  I truly enjoy meeting the great friends and the friends helping friends too.  And this is a perfect example of how friends helping friends all comes together in our passion and love of great, rare music.

Third Eye Productions did a great job of capturing the video and audio of the concert like they did on most of the 1995 through 1998 Page and Plant concerts.  The taper recorded other artists too over the years and he (and reportedly his wife helping too) are known for their great audio/video productions.

The Great Western Forum in Inglewood is the same venue of so, so many great concerts over the decades of concerts performed there.  It is the same venue that has had many names such as LA Forum, The Forum, and even Fabulous Forum over the years.  Many associate it with Los Angeles but it really is in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood, California.

The audio sounds excellent in this show and the camera work is excellent too.  I have not watched this concert in years and this January 2015 "Blockbuster" DL project is an upgrade from the VHS copy I had watched last time I saw this concert.

Rather than spend the time to go through it all, and since it is a requested show and the requesting party already knows the details of the show and recording, I'm going ahead and uploading it.  It is a show that Page and Plant fans will enjoy and it is an excellent quality (looking and sounding) production.

One thing I am not sure about has to do with the artwork.  On the side with the setlist, it has both the 1995-05-16 and 1995-05-17 songs listed.  This is only the 1995-05-17 show so why the previous night's setlist is on the artwork I cannot explain.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Page & Plant: 1998-09-21 San Diego, CA (DVD_AUD Shot_LPCM Audio_1 DL DVD)

Here is another requested upload.  In fact, I've had two requests in the last month for both the 1998 shows and for this specific show so that is why I am uploading it today while I have time.

This is an excellent sounding (LPCM audio) dual/double layer DVD of the Jimmy Page and Robert Plant concert in San Diego in 1998.  I really like the sound on this one too.  The mix is excellent and everything from the low bass frequencies to the high vocal and guitar frequencies are present and clean.  The video is great as well but it is a little shaky at times.  It is not a problem though and the camera used by Third Eye Productions has always been a really great (maybe professional) camera so the video looks superb in color, lighting, and overall quality.

While I don't see any mention of this copy being one of the Third Eye Remaster series DVD's, I'm pretty sure it is.  The fact it has LPCM audio as well as being a DL DVD tells me it is.  Most of the original Third Eye releases, originally on VHS tapes, used AC3 audio and had a low 192 kbps audio bitrate too.  And as they were first remastered and put to DVD,  if a show was more than one DVD in size, instead of making a DL DVD (if they were even available back then) the show would be on 2 DVD's.  I believe there was a second wave of remastering done from the master recordings around the 2005 - 2010 time frame and the audio was upgraded (LPCM) as in this show and many of the 2 DVD shows were put onto DL DVD's too.  I cannot say this is all 100% accurate though.  There are still some "remasters" that have the 192 kbps AC3 audio out there too (maybe first remaster series?).

I mention the video is a little shaky in places but it is still much better than most people's handheld video recordings of shows.  The video is not bad either but it is obvious it was not a tripod mounted shooting and was a handheld type in this show from the balcony area on the right section of the venue.  It really is sharp and clear video too.  I've always wondered what kind of camera Third Eye used for all of the shows he shared because it was definitely an excellent, and possibly professional camera.

We're really fortunate to have all of these various concerts recorded by Third Eye using such great equipment and knowing about video and audio too.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Page & Plant: 1996-02-17 Nagoya, Japan (DVD_AUD Shot With SB LPCM Audio_1 DVD)

This is the 2006 remaster of the 1996-02-17 Nagoya, Japan Jimmy Page and Robert Plant concert.  However, this Third Eye Remaster is a little different than most others.  The video is audience a handheld shot of the screen in the venue but the audio used is soundboard LPCM audio synchronized to the video.  It's a nice sounding production for sure.

I'm uploading this at the request of a fellow collector who asked for some specific 1996 and 1998 Page and Plant DVD's over on the BBBB Facebook page.  So there will be more DVD's to follow in the upcoming weeks from this period of Page and Plant performances.

Since I have had a little difficulty getting back into the swing of daily uploads, and since the actual write up is one of the things in preparing each post that takes some time, I'll likely keep uploading the DVD video uploads "as is" in order to save time.  In other words, as long as the file set is already in order and contains a decent information file explaining things, rather than taking the extra time to wait until I do my write up I will just upload the file set the way I have it stored and that way I can let if upload while I'm doing other things preparing the upload or even overnight while I sleep so it will be ready after I get my post made and save some time.

There is something confusing and weird as the DVD starts playing.  It says Page and Plant Osaka and not Nagoya like it the show actually is.  I don't know if this is a Third Eye oversight or just why this occurs.  But it is Nagoya in the video.

The first 3 minutes, 16 seconds played in the video may make you think you're watching a DVD-A because there is no video and the screen just shows the Jimmy Page Zoso emblem with the the Robert Plant leaf under it.  But I guess it is this way because there is no video for the very beginning of the show possibly?  And the video starts off not too professional looking and the taper is filming both the band on stage and then the projection screen and the video is all over the place for a while.  It's shaky and not on target.  It is obviously a handheld video and not a tripod shot video like at least one of the other Page and Plant Tokyo 1996 shows earlier in the tour was.  The corners of the video screen can be seen and the video is a lighter, faded tone when the screen is what is being used to film from.  The whole show from what I can tell is pretty much from the filming of the screen as I look at each song.  And many times the heads are cut off in what is being filmed and the bottom or even top of the projection screen's borders are seen.  It is not a good video job but the audio is superb and it can still be enjoyed.

It's really too bad it had to be done this way and I'm not 100% sure why it was either.  But I'm guessing the taper didn't have a good seat where they could film the stage even though a lot of times you can see the stage in the background as the camerawork moves around filming the video screen.  So who really knows?  It is very difficult to zoom in and film a screen with a handheld camera in case anyone has never tried it!

The real saving grace for the whole project is the superb LPCM (instead of the AC3 192 kbps used on some Third Eye remasters) audio.  It really is superb sounding, mixed very well, and it just sounds really nice.

With all of the Third Eye Page and Plant DVD productions out there that are really excellent ones, he must have had a good reason to have filmed this one the way he did I am thinking.  I'm not complaining at all about it and I appreciate that we have it.  But if the video is what you are getting it for, well, you may be disappointed.  The video is not horrific but it is not great either due to the fact it is video being filmed off of the video screen at the venue.  And by the way, there are times where it looks like the video screen is not being used and the taper is filming directly from the stage.  But it does look like there is someone's head blocking the mid section of the video and it does look like the seating may very well have been the issue and why this is mostly filmed off of a video screen.  It's been a long time since I've watched this video and I noticed this today as I was sampling through the DVD around the song "Tea For One" and in some other areas too.

There aretwo more thing I wanted to mention.  A lot of the Third Eye DVD's have bonus material at the end of the show.  But this one does not.  It is strictly the concert and that is it.  And the second thing I wanted to mention is the download has no artwork in it.  It didn't have it when I got it, and since I uploaded it "as is" to save time, it doesn't contain any artwork.  But I did look online as I was preparing the show and found the artwork which you'll see below.  So if you want any artwork, you'll just need to download it at the bottom of the post of look over on Zepart.com and find it there where I did.

Thanks goes out to "Amduscia" for sharing this DVD set with all of us as he has with so many other shows too!

I hope you enjoy the show...

Page & Plant: 1996-02-09 Tokyo, Japan (DVD_AUD Shot_Master Remaster_2 DVD)

This is the 2006 Third Eye remaster of the video from the Page & Plant 1996-02-09 concert in Tokyo, Japan.  I'm uploading it by request today and will be uploading some more Page & Plant DVDs over the next few weeks too.

I uploaded the zipped files two days ago to my file sharing site but I am now now finally able to post the links because I've been a little busy the last two days.  In an effort to save time, I uploaded the show "as is" and left the house while I was taking care of responsibilities and I did not change anything at all before uploading the files.  I left the original file set and torrent folder exactly as I got it intact.  that means the original checksum (md5) file and the original text already in the file set are what I used.

Thanks goes to the Royal Orleans seeder and posting party that helped me get this missing 1996 Page & Plant Japanese tour show I did not yet have in my collection back in February of this year.

I hope you enjoy the show and the bonus material too...

Page & Plant: 1995-03-13 Austin, TX (FLAC_AUD Master_2 CD)

Today is the 20th anniversary of this Page and Plant concert.  It was in a city I passed through earlier and didn't even realize it was the anniversary of the show as I passed through it.  I passed right by where the Frank Erwin Center is in Austin, Texas and had no clue I'd be coming home to find today was the 20th anniversary that Page & Plant played there.

I've had some family emrgency related issues going on lately and have been out of town and skipped a week's worth of dates and shows I had lined up.  I'm not going back to play catch up either.  If I don't get to them before next year, I'll upload them next year on their anniversary.  I'll likely upload a few of them before next year, and if anyone requests a certain show I had ready to work on an upload, I'll upload it too.  But I plan on uploading anniversary shows again starting now as well as uploadn a number of requested shows very soon.  I also plan to throw in some great shows regardless of their anniversary being nowhere close.  This isn't a site for just uploading shows from XX amount of years ago today.  I just enjoy doing that as I am looking through the shows I have and deciding what to upload.

(1) 1995-03-13 Austin, TX (AUD/STB)

This is the master audience recorded by "sean_the_bootlegger" in Austin and transferred digitally by "weedwacker" years ago.  Today is the first time I've even had a copy of this specific recording of the show too.  Sean (aka STB) was nice enough to seed it for me and I was really happy to get it.

I had wanted to go to this Austin show in Texas as well as the Houston one too, but do to jobs, finances, and where I was living, I only made it to the Dallas show. The band played Houston the next night, 1995-03-18, but went to Little Rock. Arkansas and played on 1995-03-17.  The band then returned to Dallas on 1995-03-18.  If you know your geography, it's a strange path to take in your touring.  But that's what they did and the Dallas 3/18 show was my first time seeing Page and Plant together live.

I have a video DVD of this 1995-03-13 Austin show and a recording of the soundcheck also.  I'm not going into the details of the soundcheck recording now, but they are very interesting and amusing at the same time.  As far as the video goes, I do not know the story on it at all.  But it is a rare one it seems and a nice capture of the concert's audio and video of this night 20 years ago too.

I hope you enjoy this show...

Page & Plant: 1998-02-26 Katowice, Silesia, Poland (FLAC_SB_2 CD)

This is an excellent soundboard recording of the Page and Plant concert from 17 years ago today.  This is a great show, one I've not heard in a long time but am listening to again right now, and it is also from what I consider to be the best Page and Plant tour too.

I've stated in the 1995/1996 posts I've made that I really did not like the strong Middle Eastern musical influence the band had on that tour.  I wanted to hear a much more Led Zeppelin sounding performance.  I still like and enjoy their shows from the first No Quarter tour in 1995/1996.  But their second go at it in their 1998 tour was much more Led Zeppelin sounding and songs like "No Quarter" sounded like what I'd almost expect Led Zeppelin to sound like had they continued on even after John Bonham's death in 1980.

This show was being performed before the new Page and Plant album, Walking Into Clarksdale, had been released.  Robert Plant even mentions this before they play the self titled song "Walking Into Clarksdale" too.  It seemed Led Zeppelin was always touring before their LP's were released and it looks like Page and Plant were following that old habit.

This is an excellent sounding show as well as an excellent performance.  There are some parts in the show that make me wonder if this may be just a superb audience recording and not a soundboard.  It sounds like a soundboard but a few times I hear some close clapping in between songs.  But since it is circulated as a soundboard, and I am sure someone would have determined if it wasn't by now, I believe it most likely is one.

I really wish John Paul Jones had been with Page and Plant and that they had used the late Michael Lee, their drummer for both Page & Plant tours, and had made their first, full concert Led Zeppelin reunion show.  This would have been the prime time to have done so and then they could have carried on with some Led Zeppelin shows in a world tour too.

Jason Bonham, who has done a great job in the reunions he has been a part of as he carried on his father John Bonham's legacy, might have worked too.  But I personally think he wasn't really up to par at this point and he was going through some troubles of his own back them.

When I met Jason Bonham and sat and talked to him alone as we each had a beer in 1999, he was doing the In The Name of My Father tour.  The band he had together played Led Zeppelin songs.  And they sounded great too.  He was a super nice guy and even signed my ticket stub to the show he and his band played that night with the symbolic John Bonham three circles logo on it too.  But without going into any details, he was battling some problems of his own back then.  And this was just a year after the Page and Plant 1998 tour too.  He was not in the best place to be filling in as the drummer for the guys and they may have known this?  And thankfully, Jason got himself together and carried on in the later years and did a great job when Led Zeppelin did reform for their 2007 one show only reunion.  I was glad to see them using him and having the (most likely) final Led Zeppelin show ever performed being one that was kept within the Led Zeppelin family.

Getting back on track for this seventeen year old show as of today, the band puts on a great show but I have heard them put on much better shows too.  This was their very first time playing in Katowice and just their fourth show of the new tour too.  I'm sure they were still getting warmed up and getting settled into the tour.  Plant's voice sounds a little untested but he still sounds fine and great.  Even Jimmy Page sounds like he is a little "careful" and not  as ad-lib playing or making it up as he went along as he later sounded as he got back in the swing of things.  But there is absolutely nothing wrong with the show.  They just seemed to have gotten a little better as the tour progressed I think.  And I know the crowd left the venue on this night and they were not disappointed either.

I hope you enjoy this show...

Page & Plant: 1996-02-20 Fukuoka, Japan (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

Yesterday was this show's 19th anniversary and it was the very last Japan show of the Page and Plant No Quarter tour too.  This recording is another superb and spectacular recording like most of the shows are in this 20 CD set!  Every show was at a minimum an excellent recording with the majority of them being superb sounding recordings.

I was busy and gone for part of the day yesterday, so I never had a chance to upload it on its 19th anniversary.  But I'm going ahead and making this fast post before going to bed this early morning so that the full set will be available to anyone who wants it and doesn't have it yet.

These are CD's 19 and 20 out of the 20 CD Hoochie Coochie box set of the entire Page and Plant Japan leg of their No Quarter tour.  I hope you've enjoyed all of the Japan shows already shared and you enjoy this last show too.

Hoochie Coochie did a superb job on this 20 CD box set and there was no audio clipping throughout all 20 discs when viewing their waveforms.  If anyone ever comes across full artwork scans or a site with the artwork for the different show, please leave a comment and let me know.  I'd love to add it to the incomplete artwork 2 CD sets just to form a complete package and replace this low resolution artwork also.

Robert Plant really messes up and forgets the lyrics and where to pick back up on the second song Ramble On.  But as always, he and Jimmy get back on track and just keep rambling on.  But throughout these Japan shows Jimmy Page kept getting better and better I think.  He really sounds great in this show!  Plant sounds great too, but Page really shines and stands out and the recording is practically soundboard sounding as the music is playing.  It is that clean and superb.

There really was nothing special in the setlist on this last night like I expected there to be.  I guess the guys were just ready to get the show over with, take a break, and move on to Australia and finish the last leg of the tour.  I mentioned this earlier in another post, but I'll say it a second time in case anyone missed it.  I was mistaken when I made numerous posts saying the Japan shows were the last leg of the No Quarter tour.  I totally had forgotten about their Australian dates that ran through 1996-03-01.

Thanks goes to "Amduscia" for the EAC rips of all 20 of his silver CD's from his Hoockie Coochie box ser and for sharing them with us!

I hope you enjoy this show...

Page & Plant: 1996-02-19 Osaka, Japan (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

Tomorrow is the 19th anniversary of yet another superb sounding Jimmy Page and Robert Plant concert on their final leg of the No Quarter tour in Japan.  This is the second from last show and I am uploading it a day early since I may be a little busy tomorrow and I have the time right now.

As I mentioned in the first Osaka show's upload a few days ago, this show would be the band's return to Osaka for a second show after playing the Nagoya, Japan concert in between the two Osaka concerts.  And the final concert in the Japan leg of the tour would be the 1996-02-20 show in Fukuoka, Japan.  I may upload it too later tonight just so I can be done with the 20 disc upload and move on to other requests and shows I want to upload.

(1) 1996-02-19 Osaka, Japan (AUD/Hoochie Coochie CD's 17-18)

One thing I have failed to mention, and I really had forgotten about as well, is the band  did do five other shows after the Japan leg of the No Quarter tour ended.  They played the five shows in Australia up through 1996-03-01.  So I'll be adding those too as the dates approach for their anniversary.

And speaking of Australia, and as a heads up on some of the future shows I plan on uploading, the 1972 Australian leg of the only tour Led Zeppelin ever did in Australia began on 1972-02-15 in Perth, Australia.  Unfortunately; no recording of that show has surfaced yet.  But the next show Led Zeppelin played, which was on 1972-02-19 (or 43 years ago tomorrow) in Adelaide, Australia, is on the board to be uploaded as well as any other Australia and New Zealand shows that have surfaced from the 1972 concerts.  I've uploaded a copy of many of these shows already in the past.  But there are some dates I haven't uploaded yet.  And for the copies I have already put up here, I will be uploading another label, source, or whatever of the date's show as the days arrive for the concert's anniversary.

Moving back to this Page and Plant show being uploaded right now, this is a superb audience recording and has a superb mix with all vocals and instruments being easily heard and at perfect levels.

Thanks goes to "Amduscia" for the EAC ripping and sharing of the whole 20 CD box set with us!

I hope you enjoy this show...
