Led Zeppelin: 1969-01-05 Los Angeles, CA (DVD-A_2 & 5.1 Channel Audio_1 DVD)

PREFACE: I GOT THE 3.26 GB, 48 KHZ/24 BIT LOSSLESS VERSION OF THIS SHOW AFTER MAKING THIS POST AND WILL UPDATE & UPLOAD IT SOON.  THE VERSION UPLOADED CURRENTLY (IN THIS POST) HAD REASON TO BE SUSPICIOUS LOOKING IN FILE SIZE AND THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS LOSSY.  ONCE I UPLOAD THE LOSSLESS COPY, YOU'LL KNOW BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE READING THIS.

This is an audio DVD (DVD-A) of a very, very early Zeppelin show as they were starting their career.  Led Zeppelin I hadn't even been released yet.  It was released 7 days after this show in fact according to RambleOnZep's great site.

It's been summarized in the original sharer's text file (left intact in this upload) that there were probably no more than 100 people at the venue on this last night in Los Angeles (for a short time anyhow).  This is Zeppelin at around 3 to 4 months into being known as Led Zeppelin and no longer their short-lived, contract fulfilling name The New Yardbirds.  And it's a great piece of history as well as a great sounding recording and show too!

I have to admit, I'm a little confused by the higher sample rate and bitrate properties of 48 kHz/24 bit and 96 kHz/24 bit audio and the actual file size of this upload (366 MB).  I'd expect this to have a lot larger file set size, but I've only built one DVD-A myself so far and it was three Zeppelin shows and right around 1 GB.  You can see on the back EVSD artwork below the following information on audio attributes:

(1) PPCM DVD Audio @ 96 kHz/24 bit in (A) 5.1 Channel Surround & (B) 2 Channel Stereo/Mono audio.
(2) Dolby Digital Audio @ 48 kHz/24 bit in (A) 5.1 Channel Surround & (B) 2 Channel Stereo/Mono audio.

The math doesn't add up to me.  I'm wondering if DVD Decrypter, used to process the original EVSD silver DVD transfer, may not have re-encoded the audio?  I'm really not sure and will check a little more on another PC before posting this.  But either way, it is in 5.1 and 2 channel audio streams and sounds better than other versions I know of or have heard (just as good as the FLAC CD version with the same title).  It sounds excellent in fact and much, much cleaner than many of the earlier versions I've run across over the years.

After more research, and after reading a thread on R-O about this DVD-A, it appears up-sampling was done on the 48 kHz/24 bit audio to get the 96 kHz/24 bit reported audio.  And that audio is reportedly in the AUDIO_TS folder which I do not have in my file set.  There reportedly is a 24 bit audio version and I hope to be able to get it sometime soon.  So, I'm still a little confused about this upload I'm sharing here.  The statistics on what I find on my copy are all below, and if this winds up being over sampled or lossy, I'll just upload the CD version of the show when I know more.  This DVD-A I'm uploading still sounds great and it's small enough in file size to where you can't go wrong by giving it a listen for yourself too.

I left the original uploaders files all in the upload and added them to the EXTRAS folder.  It contains their DVD Decrypter text file, information text file, md5 checksum file, and the 200 dpi artwork scans.

Led Zeppelin: 1972-10-02 Tokyo, Japan (FLAC_AUD Source 1 & 3 Masters Mix_2 CD)

This is an excellent recording of Zeppelin's first night in Tokyo on their Japan tour of 1972.  The primary source used, and one I jammed out on yesterday, is the source 1 recording.  Source 3 is used to fill in gaps between songs and is not used on any of the music.  This is a superb, flawless mix and one of the best sounding and played shows on this leg of the tour.  Plant has a few "remembering lyrics" issues on a song or two, but the band pulls it off without any problem.

The reason I picked this source to upload is because it seems to have "a" best sound.  Notice that I didn't say "the" best sound because there are other recordings of this show that are just as good.  But this one stood out and won the comparison contest!  I was primarily comparing it to EVSD's "Led Zeppelin Is My Brother" which has a little more bass in it.  I like bass, but this mix from the masters has a cleaner sound I believe and the bass is still there.  They are both around the same quality-wise, but the two sources mix has extra clarity and is more complete due to the source 3 segments.  And as I already stated, all music is from source 1 and some of the filler parts  added from source 3 are just on non-music sections of the show and they make it more complete.  The sound quality is pretty equal throughout the whole show too!

Led Zeppelin had just finished recording "Houses of the Holy" prior to these Japan 1972 shows and Plant refers to the new album coming out as they introduce songs for the first time.  They had not been released yet, so this is the first live performances with the songs from "Houses of the Holy".  That's probably part of the reason Plant gets stumped a few times singing the wrong verse in the wrong place (and having to repeat it in at least one song).

This whole Japan 1972 tour is very unique to me because you can hear the transitioning of the earlier Zeppelin songs in concerts merging with the 1973 (the year "The Song Remains The Same" video was shot at Madison Square Gardens...but it wasn't released until 1976) tour songs.  Some songs get added, some get dropped, and some reappear in other Japan 1972 shows too.  These Japanese shows sound like a merge from the past into the next, more well known by the "common listener" stage of Zeppelin's music as seen in the video release I mentioned.

I didn't get a chance to upload this show on it's 41st anniversary (2013-10-02), so while Led Zeppelin is on their break right now (act like it's 41 years ago) and as they enjoy some time in Japan, they won't return to the stage until they return to Osaka for a second show on October 9th.  And then they will finish off the tour the next night in Kyoto, Japan.  Two more great shows left on this tour and soon to be here for your listening pleasure too.

I really enjoyed cranking this show up yesterday and having it sound so good as I did things around the house (besides sitting on the couch and listening to it).  I've been listening to various labels, versions, and sources of this show off and on since it first surfaced many moons ago.  But yesterday, it was almost like listening to a new show I hadn't ever heard because it was such a clean, well done transfer and better than my earlier recordings of 1972-10-02.  And by the way, this was a "weedwacker" transfer of the tapes.  He is known for doing superb tape transfers and work on Led Zeppelin shows within trading and sharing circles.  Thanks goes to him for sharing his work.  This is one worth having and enjoying for numerous reasons!

I'm leaving "weedwacker's" file set intact and I'm adding one ticket image from this show as well as my own "Bootradr's info" and "Bootradr's checksum" files to the upload.  There are no SBE's and the songs are named in this upload too (I like it when I don't have to do this).

I hope you enjoy this show from 41 years, 5 days ago today...

Led Zeppelin: 1972-10-05 Nagoya, Japan (FLAC_AUD Source 2_2 CD)

This is an very good recording of Zeppelin's first and only night in Nagoya on their Japan tour of 1972.  This show was 41 years ago tonight!  The band played Nagoya this night, took a few days off, and then returned to Osaka again for their second show there to resume the rest of the 1972 Japan shows.

This recording isn't as good of a capture of the show as the ones from the previous nights I've already uploaded.  But it is still great and any Zeppelin fan should enjoy it.  This is the best (in my opinion) of the two versions of the show I'm uploading today.  This is "source 2", and while I was thinking the previously uploaded "Cherry Blossom" by Tarantuara version was also source 2, I don't think it is after further comparisons.  This Akashic version has a more full sound than the first, Tarantura version I uploaded before this one.  And it is much richer and full sounding (as if you were there) I've concluded.  So there are two 1972-10-05 show recordings to choose from here today (or grab both and make your own comparisons). I've compared around 6 different recordings, sources, and/or labels to pick these two I'm uploading today.

The reason I picked this version/label to upload is because it seems to have a more full, atmospheric (as if you were there)  sound.  The sound quality does drop down a little about halfway through "Misty Mountain Hop" for whatever reason.  But as with many audience recordings, it can and does fluctuate between better and not as good.

Since my earlier upload of the Tarantura label's version, I believe the Akashic version has in fact a cleaner sound.  I like this one and the previously uploaded one too.  So you be the judge of what sound you prefer and download the version(s) you want.  A lot of times one version may sound better on (for example) "Stairway to Heaven" than the other.  But on "Dazed and Confused", the other version may sound better.  My point is that the quietness or heaviness or whatever of a song can and does influence the overall likability of any version because of the dynamics in the different types of music involved in the concerts.

"Over The Hills and Far Away as well as "Immigrant Song" have been dropped in this show's setlist. And this Akashic label show is not as complete as the previously uploaded Tarantura recording (again indicating a different tape source).  This upload does not have the last two songs "Cherry Blossom" and "Thank You".  I guess the guy ran out of tape or didn't wait for the final encore?  Who knows?

I'm leaving this file set the same way I got it on this one to expedite things.  The original source for this show added all the important items and used EAC to accurately rip the silver CD's.  The text file is very basic, but it is sufficient.  I'll add the "Bootradr's info" text file and "Bootradr's checksum" file too.  The EAC text files are there and all of the artwork is included too.  The songs are not named but I believe they may have the titles embedded into the tracks.  I'm not sure though.

My plan is to continue uploading each night's show from the Japan 1972 tour here over the next few days.  I'll add the 1972-10-02 Tokyo show sometime in the next few days.  It was the first show on Zeppelin's 1972 Japan leg of the tour and one I didn't get to upload first since I started on 10/3 with uploading these shows.  I'm planning on uploading the best sounding recordings I have from the different sources and labels/recordings.  I'm doing a ton of comparing from various parts of each show with the different versions, sources, and labels I have to determine which sounds the best (in my opinion) for each date.  So, there will be at least 6 nights worth of shows from Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo just for the month of October as Zeppelin played and bounced back and forth across the country of Japan on this leg of their 1972 tour.  This was the fourth night out of Zeppelin's six nights played on their 1972 tour in Japan.

I hope you enjoy this show from 41 years ago today...

This recording isn't as good of a capture of the show as the ones from the previous nights I've already uploaded.  But it is still very good and any Zeppelin fan should enjoy it.  This is one of the two best sounding versions and has a cleaner sound in parts, but it isn't as  full or "atmospheric" sounding to me.  The second version,  Akashic label's release, of this show I'm uploading today too.  But to be 100% honest, I don't like Tarantura's version (this upload) as much.  In fact, the more comparing I'm doing on these two versions leads me to believe they are in fact two different tape sources and not from the same bootlegger.  There were so many people recording these shows that it can make it difficult to determine "sources" at times.  This is especially true after the labels get hold of them and EQ them.  To me, this upload is the lesser sounding recording and the next upload (above this one) would be my personal choice for overall best sound!  But I still like this Tarantura version too.  Either way, there will be two 1972-10-05 Nagoya show recordings to choose from here today (or grab both and make your own comparisons). I've compared around 6 different recordings, sources, and/or labels to pick these two I'm uploading today.

The reason I picked this version/label to upload is because it seems to have a cleaner sound in parts of the show.  But that can also takes away from the more full, being there sound many (myself included) like.  I like this one and the next one with the more full sound as I've stated.  So you be the judge of what sound you prefer and download the version(s) you want.

"Over The Hills and Far Away as well as "Immigrant Song" have been dropped in this show's setlist in place of "Cherry Blossom" and "Thank You" which ares the last two songs closing the show out.  This Tarantura label, while seeming to be a different source, is more complete that the Akashic label (the other upload here) version.  This upload contains two extra songs, "Cherry Blossom" and "Tank You", that are not on the probably better Akashic labels version (indicating they are likely two separate tape sources once again).

I'm leaving this file set the same way I got it on this one.  The original source for this version did an excellent job of adding all the important items and using EAC to accurately rip the silver CD's.  The text file is very basic, but it is sufficient.  I'll add the "Bootradr's info" text file and "Bootradr's checksum" file too.  The EAC text files are there, and all of the Cherry Blossom (Tarantura's 2 CD title release for this show out of their 14 CD "The Campaign" release for the 1972 October Japanese shows) artwork plus extra "The Campaign" artwork is included too.

My plan is to continue uploading each night's show from the Japan 1972 tour here over the next few days.  I'll add the 1972-10-02 Tokyo show sometime in the next day or two.  It was the first show on Zeppelin's 1972 Japan leg of the tour and one I didn't get to upload first since I started on 10/3 with uploading these shows.  I'm planning on uploading the best sounding recordings I have from the different sources and labels/recordings.  I'm doing a ton of comparing from various parts of each show with the different versions, sources, and labels I have to determine which sounds the best (in my opinion) for each date.  So, there will be at least 6 nights worth of shows from Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo just for the month of October as Zeppelin played and bounced back and forth across the country of Japan on this leg of their 1972 tour.  This was the fourth night out of Zeppelin's six nights played on their 1972 tour in Japan.

Led Zeppelin: 1972-10-04 Osaka, Japan (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

This is an excellent recording of Zeppelin's first night in Osaka on their Japan tour of 1972.  This show was 41 years ago tonight!  The band played Nagoya the next night and then came back to Osaka on the 9th after a few days of taking a break to resume the rest of the 1972 Japan shows.

This is the best sounding source and the best sounding version/label too from what I've listened to (10+ different recordings).  I'm not sure yet, but I believe this one is considered source 2 out of an unknown (to me right now) number of sources recording this night.

The reason I picked this version/label to upload is because it seems to have a great, clean bass and the highs are still there minus the tape hiss.  It's a great job Tarantura did on this show in my opinion.  Page's guitar sounds great as well as Plant's vocals.  And John Paul Jones' bass sounds very clean and well heard.  There's a part in "Dazed and Confused" where the band is transitioning into "The Crunge" in the medley section of the song.  It's about 14:31 (+/- a few seconds) into the song.  Just as the transition ends and "The Crunge" begins, there is a bass note JPJ hits that just resonates so clearly and clean.  Pay attention when you reach this part and I think you'll notice it and like it too.

I'm leaving this file set the same way I got it on this one to expedite things.  The original uploader did an excellent job of adding all the important items and using EAC to accurately rip the silver CD's.  The text file is very basic, but it is sufficient.  The EAC text files are there, and all of the Dancing Geisha (Tarantura's 2 CD title release for this show out of their 14 CD "The Campaign" release for the 1972 October shows release) artwork plus extra "The Campaign" artwork is included too.  I didn't add my own text file to this file set like I did on the previous 1972-10-03 show because I'd have to finish typing it (or this) right now and I wouldn't be able to have the show uploading now as I finish this post's preparation.

My plan is to continue uploading each night's show from the Japan 1972 tour here over the next few days.  I'm planning on uploading the best sounding recordings I have from the different sources and labels/recordings.  I'm doing a ton of comparing from various parts of each show with the different versions, sources, and labels I have to determine which sounds the best (in my opinion) for each date.  So, there will be at least 6 nights worth of shows from Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo just for the month of October as Zeppelin played and bounced back and forth across the country of Japan on this leg of their 1972 tour.  I should've uploaded the 1972-10-02 Tokyo show which is the first night of the Japan 1972 shows already.  But I'll upload it here soon enough.  This was the third night out of Zeppelin's six nights played on their 1972 tour in Japan.

Led Zeppelin: 1972-10-03 Tokyo, Japan (FLAC_AUD Source 1_2 CD)

This is an excellent recording of Zeppelin's second show in Tokyo on their Japan tour of 1972.  This show was 41 years ago tonight, and what a show it was!
This is the best sounding source and the best sounding version/label too from what I've listened to.  There are 6 known sources (different recordings) for this show and this is considered source 1.  I believe I have either 3 or 4 sources myself.  So, there are another 2 or 3 sources I haven't heard yet.  But any way you look at (or listen to) it, I am betting this first source is going to be the best.  This is an excellent recording of an excellent show.

Sara Bareilles: 2010-10-02 Dallas, TX (Bootradr Master AUD Shot DVD_Uncirculated)

I'm really happy with the way this video turned out in the long run.  This show has gone uncirculated due to trying to make it into something I don't fully have the knowledge or time to pursue right now.  This show was three years ago tonight.

I'd tried via a number of methods and programs to build this DVD differently, but each way had its problems or drawbacks.  I didn't want to use the easier but yet lesser quality with mp2 audio program I have because I wanted to maintain the AC3 audio.  But with two other DVD programs that kept the AC3 audio stream, I kept having menu building issues.  And the worthless Roxio Media Creator 2010 Pro program kept crashing and would not allow me to add chapters where I wanted them (only 5 minute chapter creation was not grayed out).  I got it to work with Adobe Premiere Pro CE5, but I still had issues building the menus.  And I still haven't learned how to accurately create a matrix audio stream either.  So, I left the project sitting for the last year or so and moved on to other projects.

This upload is the final Adobe Premier Pro CE5 project without any menus.  It does have chapters for each song.  I did not remove anything from what I captured on the two Sony master digital Mini-DV tapes.  So there is a 3 - 4 seconds of blue screen (I always prepare and start the recordings a few seconds into the brand new tapes) at the beginning of the DVD, a slight cut in Sara Bareilles' coming out on stage unexpectedly and introducing her guitarist as he did an opening set, and one more blue screen segment as I inserted Mini-DV # 2.  This final (for now) project is on one DVD.

I'd planned on using one of the two digital audio recorder's audio to overdub the video's audio and also have multiple choices in the audio streams, but I never did get that completed.  I have the (1) master Sony MD70 with an external Sony ECM-917 microphone recorder's unedited audio, (2) master Zoom H2 digital audio recorder's audio, and (3) the two master Sony DVM60 ME Premium DV cassette tapes (each recorded in HQ 1 hour mode).  So, if anyone with more time, knowledge, and better software to create a true digital transfer and better DVD build happens to be interested in doing so.  leave a reply or e-mail me at bootradr@yahoo.com (I check this about once a week) if you might be interested in doing this.  I've only played the Sony Mini-DV cassettes twice and I've stored them well (with other shows) that I haven't had the ability to transfer 100% digitally or do any matrix and/or multiple stream DVD builds on.

Here are the details you want.  More details on the show and the night follow near the end of this posting.

This was a great show and a great night.  It was also my first time seeing Sara Bareilles.  I only had a few issues the whole night and they were all overcome for the most part.  I had one security guard tell me I couldn't film near the end of the show, but this was during my changing of the Mini-DV tapes so it wasn't caught on the video recording.  And after an excuse I'd prepared for in advance, they walked away and never came back and I continued on.

There was one issue (or person) that I was worried would ruin the recording, but in hindsight, they really didn't botch things very much and it's almost amusing when they are heard.  A drop dead gorgeous 20-to-30-something year old drunk girl with an annoying voice was there with her (I guess) boyfriend.  She was rambling on in a drunken state and I eventually told her she was being recorded each time she was talking.  Part of this can be heard in the video but the directional microphone did an excellent job of keeping her voice from ruining this recording.  Oh yea, she can be heard at times and you'll hear what I mean about how drunk she was :-)  But she definitely didn't ruin things and she disappeared (probably passed out) before the end of the show.

Another annoyance to me, and one you soon don't even notice, was the beer bottle clanking occasionally picked up as waitresses or patrons dropped empty beer bottles into a trash can somewhere behind me.  There's something loud about beer bottle on beer bottle impact.  But it's not too often, you don't even notice it after a few times, and it's not a show stopping or ruining problem on the DVD.

I had a very steady camera holding night too.  There are a few times I had to check on the other digital recorders, ask the drunk girl to quieten down, or I had some other issue that causes some video shakiness.  But overall; the video stability is great!  There are some other times where (I'm guessing here) the stage lights cause some focus issues, but it isn't too terrible.  Plus I had an advantage in my location where the crowd in front of me was a few steps lower than me and they do not block anything!

I just got finished telling you the reasons you may find issues within the video, but truthfully, this came out very good I think (even if I was the one recording it :-) ).  I am very pleased with the show and the capturing of it.  And I hope you are too.

As far as I've seen or know, nobody else recorded a full Sara Bareilles show on this Kaleidoscope Heart tour.  And if they have, I've yet to see it surface over the last three years.  I hope another one does surface.  If fact, I've never seen any other lossless Sara Bareilles (complete and/or non-cell phone) show surface from a video camera yet other than the pro shot 2008 Baden-Baden New Pop Festival video.

I'm very happy with the outcome of this video and I'm proud to be sharing it 3 years to the day later.  I think you will enjoy it and I hope you do too...
