The first three discs contain the complete but distorted show and the fourth disc has the half hour long Mike Millard fragment with “Stairway To Heaven” and the encore set. Of interest is the new but incomplete tape source on discs five and six. Recently surfaced, this is a very good recording with emphasis on the lower end, as is common with many Zeppelin audience recordings from 1975. The tape is complete for the first half of the show but has a small cut after “Trampled Underfoot” and cuts out in “Dazed And Confused” at 28:17 during the second verse eliminating the coda of the piece, “Stairway To Heaven” and the first encore “Whole Lotta Love,” ”The Crunge” and “Black Dog.” There is almost four solid minutes of cheering before the second encore “Heartbreaker.” The cuts are strange enough to suggest intentionality behind them, or else some kind of story about the tape recorder not working during that missing half hour. TCOLZ in keeping with their philosophy present the tapes unremastered in their natural state. Some collectors might not agree with this, but it is a way to hear and to listen to the shows unhindered. If you liked this review, buy me a cup of joe.

This has been heavily eq’d. People are going to buy what they want either way since this label’s claim to fame is to be putting out unmastered raw sources it is fair to call them out on it when they try to slide one past that isn’t. I fully agree with weedwacker about the flat and disappointing sound presented in this new 3rd source. The first version I heard of this was Beelzebub’s, and it blows TCOLZ’s version out of the water for all intents and purposes. I’ve gotta swallow hard to write something like that, but the aim of this collectors’ site is to spread the truth. That’s the truth, in my opinion. I can’t agree with You, Hager. I too heard Beelzebub version you’re refering, titled “Malacum Salaam” and in fact, this title just amplified the tape (the generation is no doubt the same) so much that we can think it’s an upgrade but in fact I still prefer raw mix released on TCOLZ. Just put your treble on and ready to listen! But what making me sad is the report wrote by Mr. Weedwacker about what he called a real master transfer. Sadly, he wasn’t able to tell Us something more where we can download this to compare. It seems that Mr. Weedwacker prefering having something only for himself. Of course we all loving Beelzebub stuff as well as other premium budget labels but I wanna advise once again to Mr. Weedwacker to make the possibility of hearing true transfer for Long Beach March 12th, 1975 newly surfcaed audience source since he kindly mentioned about it on one of his above statemenets. So please Mr. Weedwacker – give Us, the Led Zeppelin collectors, a chance to compare which version is really worth of taking our attention. We need an assitance from the side of such professional man as You. Sorry the comment area are closed |
