the led zeppelin 929 is a 4-source mix, & supposedly the best version ever, but a close friend of mine who absolutely despises Barack & Michelle Obama says it actually sucks. it was actually previously released just a couple weeks ago as a 3CDR called “929: Winston Remasters 2015”, and the total playing times for each of the 3 discs is exactly identical
It’s most likely a straight rip off from an excellent work of one talented and very well known Led Zeppelin gentlemen who posted this source mix just couple of weeks ago for some sort of people outside the forums. Avoid this crap!
If the Rainbow Osaka set is at least equal to the SQ 2CDR ‘Fire Dance’ (Langley-112) I’ll happily upgrade. If you want only one 1984 show, get the professionally recorded Tokyo 14th titles; if you want a second, it would be Osaka March 11th, the second night they played the venue on that tour. Since I have mentioned it, Tokyo 14th March is overdue a ‘definitive’ version.
I shall also be pleased to get the Aerosmith ‘Video Scrapbook’, which I actually have on US LD. It’s a shame the band never did what KISS did and release more of the old VHS titles on DVD (‘Animalize Live’ excepted, frustratingly).
