Notes
Recorded at the Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan. Very good audience recording, compiled from several source tapes. Disc 4 is a bonus disc and doesn't sound as good as the rest imo.

9-23-71, source 5
First Attack of the Rising of the Sun (Empress Valley, 4cd), Meet the Led Zeppelin (Wendy Records), & Timeless Rock (Watchtower, 3cd & 4cd)
(These three titles all use a different mixture of three tapes.)
The first 3 cds of EV's title presents the fifth audience source for this show and is very good. It is almost complete both musically and between songs. Most of the introduction, a little tape after Stairway and Celebration Day are borrowed from source 1. Source 3 is used for a few seconds just before Whole Lotta Love. Two separate places in WLL are borrowed from source 1, for a total of one minute.
Watchtower's title is also a 3 source mix. Like EV, musically it probably uses every available second from the fifth source. The introduction on this one is entirely from source four. The gap after Stairway is filled (also) by source 1. Watchtower shares the same cuts in WLL but elects to use source 3 for the first gap. For the second cut, Watchtower left it alone.
Wendy's title starts out with source one's introduction and uses source one again after Stairway. The rest of the title relies mostly on source five, but elects to use source three for Whole Lotta Love.
Watchtower made fewer splices. EV and Wendy have louder music and background noise than Watchtower just a different equalization.

9-23-71, sources 6, 7, & 8
First Attack of the Rising of the Sun (Empress Valley, 4cd), Rock Carnival (Watchtower), Tokyo Tapes (Empress Valley, 6cd)
The final disc of First Attack is from another new source, being the sixth. It is about 30 minutes long, starting from the beginning of the show. The recording is overloaded on the lower frequencies.
Watchtower's Rock Carnival is the seventh source to cd. It's just over an hour long, sampled from a once fuller tape of the show.
The fifth and sixth cds of Tokyo Tapes is source number eight. It's not the whole show but is 126 minutes long.
