Notes |
Recorded at the Fillmore West, San Francisco, California, USA. Combination of an audience and soundboard recording. Sounds fantastic. From the info file: Led Zeppelin 1969-04-27 Fillmore West San Francisco California Collage (TDOLZ) First Set: 101. The Train Kept a Rolling 102. I Can't Quit You 103. As Long As I Have You 104. You Shook Me 105. How Many More Times 106. Communication Breakdown Second Set: 201. The Lemon Song 202. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You 203. White Summer-Black Mountain Side 204. Sitting & Thinking 205. Pat's Delight 206. Dazed Confused. This is not a reissue of the famous soundboard tape but, as the title suggests, a combination of soundboard and audience sources. No, it isn't a reissue of the Twinight release either, this time around, TDOLZ have outdone themselves by filling the gaps on the soundboard tape with the audience source with a mastering job that has to be heard to be believed. The audience source is spliced onto the soundboard tape, and vice versa, so cleanly it's amazing. The differences of quality and volume between both recordings are notorious but the painstaking care with which the tapes were combined is truly awesome, allowing the concerts to flow. Other versions of the soundboard tape like Aulica's De Luxe Live At The Fillmore West and Living Legend's 20 Years The Train Kept A Rolling pale in comparison to the greatly detailed and dynamic sound quality and the stereo separation of TDOLZ's offering .I hadn't heard the audience tape, so listening to these complete performances is a revelation as the quality of the audience source is very clear. The total time suggests that these sets are probably as complete as they can be save for Plant's introduction to Train, according to Brian Ingham's excellent review on IQ's version of the audience tape. |
