  2. Probably the best audio I have heard from an audience recording. Someone told years ago something about Led Zeppelin shows that bugged him. Good Old Martin grew up in same town as I, use to go to his house to buy weed and chill hear stories of the old bands that came through Washington State, like the Grateful Dead playing in Sultan WA, if you know that town it is small as heck! He saw the Doors get blown off the stage in Woodinville by Led Zeppelin back in 69' and that he told me is when he became a Led Zeppelin fan, how damn hard and fast they could play and the way they transformed traditional blues numbers and made them new again but "heavier" He particularly talked about the way Led Zeppelin played a song called the Killing Floor aka the Lemmon Song. "John Bonham was going so fast and loud it was almost impossible to hear Jimmy Page!" He told me he went to every single Led Zeppelin concert when they came to Seattle and they came every tour, what he said caught me off guard; "a Live Led Zeppelin show is best seen once because every tour since Led Zeppelin Houses of the holy the set list has been the same. It was that way from 1970-71, and it seems they add two songs from the new album drop couple of the older Zeppelin material, for instance What is what should never be" was last played in Seattle in 1971. When I saw them in 1972, 73, 75. same set list with two added songs from the new album. When I saw them in 1977 I was excited because they were playing some Presence's stuff but the show sound was So bad I left before the acoustic set."

  3. Sorry, but the beginning of the end for Plant's voice. I don't get it. Wouldn't Plant have bothered to rest his voice sufficiently before starting a new tour? I don't get it. The last American tour ended on June 28. This Japan tour begins on October 2. Plenty of time to rest a voice. Weird. Other than that, it's a terrific show. Thanks for the upload.

  4. This was my very first concert when I started collecting way back in 1987. It is in my Top 5 Favorite Zepp shows, too! And rumors do say this is on Soundboard in Pages vault. In fact, both the 1971 & 1972 Japan tours are on Soundboard because of the affinity the band had with the Japanese, and vice-versa. I really hope we get to hear those shows on Soundboard one fine day –especially this 10/2/72 show which I bet sounds awesome on a board! A great outstanding concert!

    And probably, if it's not THE best, it surely is in the top 3 Best Whole Lotta Love medleys ever!
