This show was a suggestion of a listener, April 24 1969 at the Fillmore West. Led Zeppelin put on a powerhouse performance captured on an incredible stereo recording. I play As Long As I Have You, Killing Floor, and an unbelievable Pat's Delight. The quality of the sound is matched by the quality of the performance. Top Tier.

We listen to a 20 minute Whole Lotta Love with a screaming theramin section, as well as a bass heavy, almost funky Communication Breakdown, from Led Zeppelin's performance in Tulsa, on August 21, 1971. This is a fantastic show with incredible interplay and energy from the audience. Not one to miss!

This is a more quiet, pastoral, episode. I play three(four) tracks from Led Zeppelin's Aug 21, 1970 concert in Tulsa, OK. It's a very nice recording and a great performance. I play That's The Way, Bron-yr-Aur, Jonesy's Organ Solo, right into Thank You, which finishes with a flourish. Very nice indeed.

We return to the well for a third time (the last 2 being 5 years ago) with Led Zeppelin in Detroit, July 13, 1973 with an amazing, blazing show.

I play a beautiful Since I've Been Loving You along with a powerful twofer of Heartbreaker into Whole Lotta Love. There's a lot of funk involved and Jimmy, Jonesy, and Bonzo are in the zone the entire time. A good one.

Led Zeppelin played the Schaefer Music Festival on July 21, 1969 in Central Park, NYC. This is early into the Les Paul days and the band were already recording their second album while on the road promoting their first.

I play the three opening numbers, back to back, Train Kept A Rollin, I Can't Quit You, Baby, and Dazed and Confused. Even though they're still making a name for themselves they're already famous. They'll keep rising throughout the decade to heights unimagined.

We revisit the master recording of Led Zeppelin in Charlotte on June 9, 1972. It's a great show and on this episode I play virtuoso performances of Since I've Been Loving You, Dazed and Confused, and a truncated but still powerful Whole Lotta Love.

You can't go wrong with a June 1972 show by Zep and this is no exception.

I choose an easy one this week with a Winston Remaster of 3/17/73, Led Zeppelin in Munich, at their musical peak. I play Over the Hills, a sublime SIBLY, and of course an epic Dazed and Confused. Can't go wrong.

Them Crooked Vultures are a super group's super group, with John Paul Jones, Josh Homme, and Dave Grohl (from Led Zeppelin, Queens of the Stone Age, and Foo Fighters/Nirvana respectively) playing insanely well together.

I play Elephants, Caligulove, and Warsaw from the April 17, 2010 show in Las Vegas. This is good stuff from a band who should have released more music, imo.

The 1996 tour of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page is universally regarded as being amazing. Great energy, great performances, and great setlists. All these conspire to create great gigs.

This show in Nagoya on Feb. 17, 1996 is one such great gig. So great in fact that I'm focusing solely on the three encore songs performed. All three are awesome and completely tight and glorious.

I play a tender and delicate acoustic Rain Song, a breathtakingly poignant Tea For One, and an absolutely perfect and amazing In The Evening. Magic is a word which would apply to this show.

I play a couple of tracks from the Source 1 stereo tape of Led Zeppelin playing the Alexandria Palace, on Dec. 22, 1972. This is the first show of their UK tour and it absolutely rocks.

I play a rapturous Whole Lotta Love (with many medleys thrown in) and one of the sweetest Stairways I've heard. Very beautiful solo from the Zosophonic one.
