Led Zeppelin: 1974-XX-XX East Hampshire, England (FLAC_SB/Studio_3 CD)

Here are some great recordings of Led Zeppelin in the studio at Headley Grange in 1974.  These songs, many with different lyrics than their final and officially released versions, are outtakes and tracks the band was making as they were working on their not yet released Physical Graffiti LP.  These are some of the cleanest versions of these songs I've heard.  And believe me, I've heard and collected many other versions of these songs in past years too.

I really don't have too much information on this 3 CD set.  No label, title, or even any dates were included.  So here it is...

I love the way we get to hear how the songs were coming together in theses recordings and others like them.  The different lyrics to songs not finished yet are just one of the very cool perks as well as the different ways many songs were played too make this a cool collector's item.  And even the talk between the members of Led Zeppelin  as they're deciding how to play songs is really cool stuff to hear.
I hope you enjoy the recordings...

This is the best version we have to date of this concert so far.  I've got a Blu-Ray version with slightly sharper video, but the audio is where that version falls short.  This upload has the best of both worlds with the GM production using the Winston Remasters audio for the soundtrack.  You will not be disappointed in this excellent DVD set I know.

It'll take you a while to download this one, even if you have a paid FileFactory account yourself, but it is very much worth the time it takes.  The first time I got it (around 2006), I downloaded it one link at a time (and there were about 50 links) with whatever file sharing site the sharer had put it up on and I was a free user like many of you are.  So it takes patience and the desire to see it to get it, and if you don't have either, I doubt you'll get it over the next few days.  But if you do have both, within a week (for non FileFactory account holders), you'll have it and be cranking it up and watching it at your home too :-)

I wish there was an easier way (and I'm not going to create a bit torrent site) to share this large download with others, but nothing short of the old fashion snail mail trading ways is going to get it done any faster.  If I see any interest in this download in the comments area, I may be tempted to turn on FileFactory's "TrafficShare" feature which allows paid subscribers (me) to let anyone downloading it to do so as if they had a Premium Account (that's what I have).  By using my monthly allocated bandwidth from FileFactory to do this, you'd be able to download all links at the same time as well as have no captia (type in a code) windows or waiting between downloads.  And you'd be able to download at full speeds.  I usually reserve turning on TrafficShare for friends and the occasional promoting of a specific recording.  But once that bandwidth limit FileFactory allocates has been reached, it's back to one link at a time automatically (they control it) until you get all the 12 links downloaded if you're a free user.  And the file size I broke the links into when uploading them is 900 MB a piece.

I don't make a penny either way, and I'm putting this show up because I like sharing the good stuff with like-minded fans and collectors.  And I hope many of you will also do the same with your Zeppelin friends (NEVER sell it!) too.  So I'll see if there seems to be any interest in downloading this show before I decide whether or not to turn on (and use up my bandwidth) TrafficShare.

Either way and anyway, I hope you enjoy the show...

Led Zeppelin: 1979-08-04 Stevenage, UK, Knebworth Festival (FLAC_SB & AUD Master Matrix_3 CD)

This is another superb job done by Winston Remasters back in 2005 of a Led Zeppelin show.  This show was Zeppelin's first night at the Knebworth Festival in 1979.  It was on a Saturday, and the following Saturday, 1979-08-11, they played and closed out the festival too.  Sadly, these concerts were a year before Led Zeppelin would lose their drummer, John Bonham, when he died in August of 1980.  Little did the band or anyone else know that the end of Led Zeppelin was drawing near.

There are many audience sources for both of the two nights at Knebworth that Led Zeppelin played in 1979.  And believe it or not, the excellent audience source used in this matrix was recorded on a Hitachi GhettoBlaster (aka a boom box).  The soundboard source Winston Remasters worked with was the Watch Tower label "Welcome To The 1979 Knebworth Festival" recording.

And just as their are many audience (and soundboard) versions of these shows, there are a number of DVD sets of the concert too.  My favorite one for this date, 1979-08-04, is Genuine Masters "Knebworth Masters" 3 DVD set.  I may upload it here pretty soon because it is one of the best quality Led Zeppelin captures, both in audio and video, there has ever been.  The 1979-08-11 DVD sets out there are superb too and I may even upload that show at the same time.  Who knows?

Since there seldom any comments made here, I have no clue what anyone wants anyhow.  But with the number of downloads and hits on the site, I can tell there are many who enjoy what is being put up.

I'm going to close off this posting with a request.  My request is that you request something you're interested in.  I DO take requests!  And if I have the recording(s) or can find them, I'm happy to upload them (absolutely NO rap or hip hop though).  Otherwise, I may take a break for a while and start doing something else and come back to BBBB at a later date?  I've collected more shows over the decades than I could ever upload.  So if there is something you're interested in, well, let me know :-)

I hope you enjoy the show...

Joan Jett And The Blackhearts: 1984-12-31 New York, NY (DVD_Pro Shot/TV)

This is a really cool capture of a New Year's Eve party in 1984/85.  The times and people both were different in those days and it really shows in this concert MTV aired live on the 1984 New Year's Eve going into 1985 New Year's Day.

I first got this show a number of years back, but over time, my DVD build became corrupted and it also started skipping.  I've kept my eye open for another copy over the years, and to my surprise, I found an upgrade earlier this morning.  This video has a better picture quality than the first (second and third too) version I had of this concert.  I really enjoy this show for the music, the time period, and the whole packaged deal.

I've always liked Joan Jett from the time I first heard "I Love Rock 'N' Roll" and "Crimson And Clover" in the early 1980's.  And even though I bought an album or two in those days, I never really listened to her too much until the early to mid 1990's.  She has always been a beautiful female with an awesome voice.  And after she went out on her own in 1980 (I believe 1980), after her run with the band The Runaways, she only got more talented and better with her music.

The first time I saw Joan Jett was around 1990 at a music festival in San Antonio, Texas.  She, and her band too, sounded great.  It was many years before I saw here again at the Richardson, Texas 2006-05-20 Wildflower Festival where she headlined the main stage playing after The Gregg Rolie Band and Loverboy.  Here performance, one I recorded with a Sony MZ70 mini disc recorder and an external Sony ECM-917 microphone from up front on stage right, was an excellent show.  With better recording equipment nowadays, I hope to see her again someday soon.

Even with her short haircut and added tattoos (I don't like tattoos...nothing against anyone that has them, I just don't like them myself) through the years, as well as being in here 50's nowadays, she still has a beautiful face (and body) and an awesome voice that sounds just as great today.  She's still touring today.  In fact, I just got a superb audience recording of a show Joan Jett And The Blackhearts played a few days ago and it sounds like she and her band are still rocking good.

I like how Joan Jett was a child and fan of the 1950's - 1960's songs and how she incorporates them into many of her songs but plays them with a more rock 'n' roll style.  I've seen a few interviews with her where she talks about growing up listening to that music and how much she loves it.  And to this day, she still plays many of the oldies but with the Joan Jett And The Blackhearts style of music and singing.  I like it when an artist sticks by the music they love and keeps listening to it even after almost 40 years of touring and playing songs.  Of course, not all of Joan Jett's songs are from the oldies.  She has been making new music for years and it definitely has the undeniable Joan Jett sound and rockin' to it just like it always has.  By sticking to what she likes, while expanding her music too, I'd bet it is one of the main reasons she and her band can play it today with the sounds of yesterday.

One other thing I like about this show I'm uploading is the old MTV VJ's like Martha Quinn that are in it.  I always had the hots for her growing up.  David Lee Roth, no longer in Van Halen at the time of this show, also comes out on stage at the countdown to the new year.  If you were around in the 1980's and the DVD of the show and the audience clips (as well as ambiance) throughout it doesn't take you back in time, well, I'd be surprised!

I hope you enjoy this New York City live show and the blast from the past it provides those who get it...

Led Zeppelin: 1977-04-27 Cleveland, OH (FLAC_SB Master_3 CD)

Two days and thirty-seven years ago, this excellent concert took place.  This is one of my favorite Led Zeppelin concerts from their 1977 tour too.  This concert, commonly known as Destroyer, was one of my first (maybe the first) silver CD 1977 Led Zeppelin shows I got on CD.  But this upload is not my "The Swingin' Pig" label Destroyer copy of this show.  This source is a copy of the master soundboard from the show and it sounds even better that what I got many, many years ago.

This is the best sounding version (and their are many) of this show I've heard!  Prior to getting this version, I'd considered Winston Remasters' "Dr. Who" to be the best.  But this one is even better.  The "twang" in the bass and guitar strings can even be heard in this soundboard clone version.  You can hear a lot of detail in the instruments that I've never noticed or heard in any other version/copy of this show I've ever listened to over the years.

"No Quarter" has a very solemn sound and style to it in this show.  I use to drive around late at night, after I had first gotten the Swingin' Pig label's version of this show, and cruise by my old stomping grounds where I had good and bad memories when I was younger.  I could put in the CD, turn it up, and it was just a peaceful, memory lane type of feeling I'd get from it as I drove past my first girlfriend's parent's home in Old Town Spring and it would take me back to the days of dating her.

The same goes for the following song, "Ten Years Gone", too.  I like the beginning talk for that song where Plant can't seem to remember what album the song came off of and how he states, "This is one of the tracks from (insert pause as Plant cannot think of the album title)...this is about the first love, the one you never forget, Ten Years Gone."  Just between CD 1's "Since I've Benn Loving You", "No Quarter", and "Ten Years Gone", you have right at (+/-) 40 minutes of music that has always taken me back to the days of my first love, the one I'll never forget, from 31 years (or ten years gone times three) ago.  And to this day, I always have those memories that flood in as I hear these three songs wrapping up CD 1.

I hope you enjoy this superb sounding and performed show, and and I hope it takes you back too, as much as it does for me...

THE SWINGIN' PIG (NOT THIS UPLOAD) LABEL'S COVER ART

Procol Harum: 1971-04-12 NeYork, NY (FLAC_SB/Pre-FM_1 CD)

This is a superb sounding recording of a classic rock band I have not listened to very much over the years.  In a way, I guess Procol Harum sort of fell between the cracks in my listening?  This recording was a radio broadcast by WPLJ FM 95.5 MHz.  But it was not an off-air recording made by someone recording the broadcast most collectors are certain.  It is a Pre-FM recording almost certainly.  Either way, it is superb in sound and stereo separation too.

As I listen to this show preparing this blog entry, I am really unfamiliar with the songs.  I don't know the band's history or story either.  However, as I'm guessing most people who've listened to the radio through the 1970's (and before or after to a point) know, we've all heard of Procol Harum.  Some are much more familiar with their music I'm sure.  But I feel like a newbie on this one.

I'm guessing this is a British Invasion band from the accent of the singer.  He definitely has the "England" dialect when speaking.  To me, some songs are better than others.  But overall, it's an enjoyable listening experience.

One thing is for sure.  After hearing such a good recording of the band today, I think I'll try a few more of their shows as I come across them.  This was my first and only Procol Harum show that I obtained earlier today.  And now, I'm sharing it with you too.  See what you think?

Led zeppelin: 1971-08-31 Orlando, FL (FLAC_SB/AUD_2 CD)

To me, it's a toss-up between this Empress Valley Supreme Disc (EVSD) version and the Genuine Masters (GM) version of this show as to which is the best.  Both are really excellent recordings; each having their own strong points as well.

I'm uploading the EVSD version today for two reasons.  First, I like the high end audio on this version.  And secondly, I finally got a copy of this version yesterday that hasn't been "fan remastered" version or a version messed with since EVSD put it out years ago.  I have a fan remastered version of this exact label's recording I got a few years ago, but the great high end audio was muffled and it doesn't sound near as good as what the person doing the remastering started their project with (the EVSD release).

I really like this show and the band's performance in it!  They really rock and Page's guitar playing is incredible sounding in this recording.  I'll eventually upload the GM version I'm sure.  GM always does an excellent job on their releases, and what I really want to find to upload is their DVD-A of this show.  But still, and to my ears, this EVSD version is a tie for the best source for this show.

There is one thing I'm sure I've researched before but cannot recall what I found out at the moment.  The artwork shows this as a 4 CD set.  I'm guessing EVSD released this show in two different alterations, but I cannot recall for sure?  I went ahead and did some research (again) but all I could find out is the 4 CD set dates are both still 1971-08-31.  Maybe two of the CD's are the audience recording of the show and the other two CD's are the soundboard and audience mix.  I've only got the Lemon Song label version of the audience recording at this time and it ends with the song "Moby Dick".  So without a better desription or possibly more artwork for the other two CD's, I'm still at a loss.  One last guess is that the 4 CD set is titled "Florida Sunshine" and the 2003 2 CD release and/or its reissue (this upload) is titled "Orlando Magic".  Labels have the tendency to put out box sets with one title and individual releases of what's in the box set with different titles.  And that likely is what happened here.

I hope you enjoy the show...
