There are two kinds of messages that would actively be edited or deleted. The first are those who mention specific bootleg vendors. And the second are from the tape traders who hate silver boots. I tried to mediate in that discussion, but they were too zealous for their cause to be reasonable.

“he claims that on one occasion when his entire message was deleted, as opposed to just the possibly questionable or inappropriate part being edited out, he was kind of baffled as to the reason why. so he tried submitting a copy of exactly the same message the next night, and to his surprise, it was completely accepted exactly as it was.”

That exactly proves my point. His first message probably ended up in the spam filter and was deleted, while the second one went through and was posted. It happens. DLee shouldn’t take things like that personally.

gsparaco, if you say that that deleted message was routed to the spam folder, i’ll assume that you mean by mistake (accident). the deletion of his entire message several months ago was interpreted by DLee as this site’s way of implying that his comments had finally “worn out their welcome” here, as it wasn’t the first time his entire message had been deleted. he claims that on one occasion when his entire message was deleted, as opposed to just the possibly questionable or inappropriate part being edited out, he was kind of baffled as to the reason why. so he tried submitting a copy of exactly the same message the next night, and to his surprise, it was completely accepted exactly as it was. so the apparent inconsistency of that, plus the other couple times that his entire message was deleted, are supposedly a major reason why he figured it wasn’t worth his time or efforts to continue trying to contribute or post anything here…although he still “lurks” here regularly. anyway, thanks again for the solid Zep review…i suspect that some people tend to exaggerate when they express how relatively poor their entire 1980 tour was…especially since the Frankfurt show sounds not so bad to me

OH LUCKY ONES WHO EVEN GOT TO SEE THE WORST CONCERT ZEPP EVER PLAYED!! How many of us never got the chance?
I like the Dortmund show because of the high energy and excitement you get from the sdb. Sure sounds like the guys are giving it all they got. Of course being there you might have a different perception. Still, and just based on the sdb recording I would recommend this nite ( 1st nite of the tour) and Cologne ( second nite) as the most energetic ones. The best nights being Zurich & Frankfurt. ( I kind of dig Rotterdam also but the 1980 Tour is not my favorite)

interesting review…thanks. the only show on this tour that i’m familiar with is the one at Frankfurt, which i think is pretty good. however, as for cgil saying that he got his brand new for just $20.00, why is it that a comment like that is allowed by the moderators here to be posted, whereas when someone else says that he managed to get a certain Stones 1CD for the very cheap price of $15, not only was such a comment apparently now allowed by the moderators, but the entire message (response), which didn’t have anything else that could be considered improper or merely questionable, was deleted by a moderator? just wondering why

Pedro, Led Zeppelins Dortmund show 1980 was terrible. I was there…

I got the GRACIAS box ( Antrabata) which I got mainly for the Zurich show. I always considered this Hannover show an “extra” and in that way it is ok. DEFINATELY not the best of the 80 tour!!!
Look for Frankfurt, Zurich, Dortmund , Cologne or a few others that are way much better.

A very good compressed soundboard recording. Don’t pay too much for it. I picked this one up for $20.00 brand new.
