| Recorded at the Sports Arena, San Diego, California, USA. Fantastic SBD recording. From the info file: Led Zeppelin Sports Arena San Diego, California March 14, 1975 'Conspiracy Theory' (Empress Valley) Original Silvers [EVSD 263/264/265]>EAC>TLH>FLAC Soundboard Track listing: Disc one (54:22): (1) Rock and Roll (4:07) (2) Sick Again (6:14) (3) Over The Hills And Far Away (8:18) (4) In My Time Of Dying (12:15) (5) The Song Remains The Same (5:35) (6) The Rain Song (8:59) (7) Kashmir (8:54) Disc two (65:33): (1) No Quarter (31:47) (2) Trampled Underfoot (8:03) (3) Moby Dick (25:43) Disc three (54:56): (1) Dazed and Confused (33:13) (2) Stairway To Heaven (12:33) (3) Heartbreaker (9:10) Comments: When this boot originally surfaced in early 2004, it was a BIG deal in the Zeppelin collecting community. For many years, the best-sounding Zeppelin soundboards in circulation were either horrid performance (e.g. Cleveland 4/27/77) or mediocre performances with poor setlists (e.g. Europe 1980). A flood of boards has arrived in the last few years which, fortunately, sonically do the band justice and capture the band at their height. This is the best of the bunch, in my opinion. March 1975 was a special time for the band as they played a string of high-energy, brilliant performances culminating in a three-night run at the L.A. Forum. This show had always been an afterthought by collectors because the common audience recording circulating from this night was quite mediocre (Mike Millard must have had other plans that night). However, in its full sonic, stereo-soundboard glory, this one's a must-have. |
