Great review. I’m not convinced that the version of the Berdu set in this box is quite as good as the EVSD release (perhaps just a notch below), but otherwise Godfather has done an outstanding job collecting the content for this release & presenting it as the near-definitive silver package of these great concerts. I have never heard the June 27th gig sound as good as it does here.

With this release, Godfather sets the bar for Zeppelin box sets very high indeed. EVSD in particular, take note.

Highly recommended!

Superb release! Fantastic shows, sound and art work….. I wish Godfater had left the pin out and provided and empty jacket for the official release, which fits nicely inside the box. I’m going to make my own copy of cover art of “How The West Was Won” for the 3 CDs and keep everyting in the same beautiful box!

I heard there are some stellar Godfather Boxsets on the way the coming months so start saving money! :-)

Godfather definitely put alot of effort into these box sets and it really shows. I am really looking forward to more stellar releases from this label as most are well worth tracking down.

Congrats to Godfather on an outstanding release! I would love to see Godfather work their magic and put some life into the January ’73 England soundboard tapes. (Oxford, Liverpool, Stoke, Southampton) That would be another wonderful 8-cd boxset to own! Plus, I don’t think any label has ever released that set….

Enjoyed your review.This is the best Zeppelin title I have gotten in years.The band improvisation and their songwriting were at their peak.Pages’playing in the Berdu show alone is worth the price!

Great review! I wish the label more releases as this one, even if the content is knowed already from other, past titles. Recommended not for only those forgot to get these stunning shows but for every fan of rock music! Mr Jimmy – now it’s your turn to release the complete How the West Was Won :) We know u have them all!
