Thanks to Rocker for confirming that I’m not crazy.
I’ve been to many concerts at the Greensboro and I know that Greensboro audiences are wild when one of their “adopted” bands come to town( Zep, Van Halen, ZZ Top, etc..).
You can read what happened after the concert on THE CONCERT FILE by Lewis & Pallet.
I have finally found somebody that was there for the Greensboro 77 concert ( and actually remembers it) and she says that Zep was late to start ( surprise!) but then that they played for “hours and hours” and that at the end of the concert everybody’s mind was “blown”. Far out!

I pretty much came to the same conclusions myself. I enjoyed the performances for the most part and only wish that the recording fidelity measured up to the level of musicianship…

Luis Rey calls this the worst Zeppelin show ever but he is way,WAY off. After your bootleg ears get accostumed to the sound you find yourself with a good show taped sometimes ok, sometimes good but always with great atmosphere. I have talked to people who were at the show and they all have commented that it was a great show and that the audience was wild ( but not problematic).
No Quarter and Over The Hills are good and Stairway and Kashmir especially are outstanding.
Dare I say that this is one of the best early 75 shows and not one of the worst during this treacherous period of this tour.
