		<description><![CDATA[When someone mentions Earls Court we all automatically think of the 24th and the 25th because they’re available in pristine soundboard quality.  I for one have never given the 18th a fair shake and a concentrated listen until now.  Man was I missing out all this time!  This recording is a great audience recording which fully captures the essence of live Led Zeppelin and due to it’s clarity the listener is transported back in time to enjoy this show with all of the lucky ones who were actually in attendance.  Tarantura has done a fine job with this release and the lack of hiss makes it much more enjoyable.  Part of this could be that the masters were supposedly used for this release.  Now let’s get down to the real meat and potatoes of this release.

Disc 1 starts with the introduction which is short and to the point.  Whoever the person is who is blowing the whistle needs to have it placed somewhere which would make it uncomfortable for them to sit down.  It’s rather annoying.  “Rock and Roll” hits with full force and we hear a band that means business.  “Sick Again” is rather grooving tonight and Bonham is definitely deep in the pocket which is exactly where he was most comfortable.  “Over The Hills And Far Away” is up next and is a good version.  Robert has a tough time with some of the notes but overall he was still more than capable of making a go at it.  “In My Time Of Dying” sounds rather lazy but is still a decent version.  “The Song Remains The Same” seems to seamlessly switch sources (1:16 - 1:30) which could be due to a tape flip in the main source.  The band plays “Rain Song” with a lot of feeling and it sets the mood for “Kashmir” to bring things back up.  The first hit of “Kashmir” sounds really powerful on this release.  Immediately after the last note of “Kashmir” the source changes again for about 10 seconds then fades out at the 9:33 mark.

“Tangerine” is the lead-off track for disc 2 of this set.  This recording really brings out the background harmony vocals in this song.  The whistle guy makes his presence known again right at the end of this song.  Jimmy Page’s fingerpicking style is captured nicely in this recording.  Every note is crystal clear and the reverb of the venue adds some extra beauty to the notes.  Right after the end of “Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp” Robert makes a Monty Python reference by saying “We are the knights that say “Ni”.  This gets a good applause from the crowd. “Trampled Underfoot” is played at a slower tempo but definitely still grooves.  22 minutes of “Moby Dick” rounds out disc 2.  During the timpani solo Bonzo treats us to renditions of the “Dazed And Confused” and “Whole Lotta Love” riffs.  Around the 20:10 mark there seems to be a source change.  Mr. Whistle is back as well.  Overall the drum solo is enjoyable and doesn’t get as boring as others he performed.

Disc 3 begins with a great version of “Dazed And Confused.”  The “Woodstock” section of this version really sets the mood for a particularly spooky bow solo section.  It’s pretty amazing how quiet the audience is during this section.  That just shows you how different the UK audiences are from the rowdy American audiences.  There’s not one firecracker exploding during this section.  The lack of hiss definitely adds to the overall mood of this recording.  After “Stairway To Heaven” someone close to the taper mentions something about a Pink Floyd concert.  There’s a fade out at 12:41 which is during the audience cheering at the end of “Stairway.”  There’s not one thing about this release that I can complain about.  The sound is excellent and that’s the most important thing.  This release is by far the best version of this show to date and I highly recommend picking this one up.]]></description>
