Holy Crap!

It was the first headline show by the band in 27 years, it was the most over-subscribed gig in history after more than 20 million people applied for 18,000 tickets.

They should replace these 4 songs
4. In My Time Of Dying
5. For Your Life
6. Trampled Under Foot
7. Nobody's Fault But Mine
8. No Quarter"

with these 4,

-Babe I'm going to leave you
-Communication Breakdown
-How Many more Times
-Living Loving Maid

and what about Immigrant song and Hangman?

Are you crazy? In My Time of Dying, Trampled Underfoot, No Quarter are some of my favorites!

Well I only have their first 5 albums so I've never even heard of those songs.

 

[IronWing]

No Quarter is very good.

 

[Fritzo]

No Quarter is very good.

Awesome solo in that...especially the live versions.

 

[Craig234]

Welcome to earth.

Now go get Physical Graffiti. No Quarter is from the 5th album...

On the album, it was the 3rd song on side B.

Am I too big of an uber-fan if I can name every song on every album in order as they appeared on vinyl?

 

[edro]

Tool does an awesome cover of No Quarter.

 

[edro]

Well I only have their first 5 albums so I've never even heard of those songs.

I'll let it slide since you are probably 12 years old.
You need to get the rest of their albums and start listening up.

Greatest band of all time.

Sounds like this is one time I'll get my butt out of the apartment and won't wait for the DVD. Big screen and big sound FTW!

Did they appear in a different order on CD?

I have several, if not all, of the Led Zeppelin albums on vinyl by the way, I just haven't played them in decades. :biggrin:

Edit: No Quarter is an epic stoner song if ever there was one.

How many millimeters in from the edge is the start of the song?

 

[Fritzo]

UK or US release?

 

[JulesMaximus]

I loved the rock music of this era. You had songs and albums that had so much more to them than music of today. Songs were 7+ minutes in length, hell, Jethro Tull had an entire album in which the only break was to flip from side A to side B.

 

[BUTCH1]

Welcome to earth.

Now go get Physical Graffiti. No Quarter is from the 5th album...

Yep, PG was IMHO their best, so many styles and sounds, one of the best double albums ever released...

 

[EvilYoda]

Sweeeeeet! I'll actually be home that day...it's already on the calendar.

 

[alkemyst]

Most will not realize what/why this concert happened. A great man died from a simple slip and fall and Led Zeppelin wanted to honor him.

This.:thumbsup:

As if none of the live versions of Dazed and Confused cannot fit that description?!


And... I hope this doesn't make me a heathen, but I absolutely loved Tool's cover of No Quarter as well.

Partly, me thinks, simply because the audio production of that live version seems to be better than any version I've heard from Led Zeppelin (I do not have every single release ever, so I might have missed one with better audio).

In fact, I think it's really the fact that the bass line (both bass and drums) stands out in Tool's version that much more than what I've heard of LZ's production (for that song, mind you - not stating this as an overall rule... not at all! - though... Tool's audio production naturally puts a lot of emphasis on the bass line).


I'm looking at that set list and I'm even more pissed I was born in the wrong era and won't ever get to see this band live.

I'm going to be tempted to see it in theaters. Really, really tempted.
But home theater (and hopefully a DVD-Audio release? Or at least a really good CD?) will at least do some justice. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the track selection, they hit the main songs I'd kill to actually see them perform live.
Anyone know if they go into awe-inspiring tangents and extended solos, turning some songs into 15-20 minute peeks into divinity? That's mostly why I'd kill to see some of those songs live. Those live CDs give a hint at the epicness, but are missing so much of the detail that would leave you bewildered at the end of the set... where, the next day, you're desperately trying to remember what it is you actually witnessed, trying to hold onto those last fleeting memories but ultimately being left with only a vague taste of the emotional (and physical?) high you felt but not much else.

I saw Page and Plant on their 'Dis Jones' tour, and they brought a small orchestra from Egypt just for Kashmir, which was a long version with a lot added.

No, it's their 6th album, I only have their first 5.

God Physical Graphite was recorded in 1973... 40 fricking years ago.

This concert was recorded in 2007 i believe, I wonder if Plant still has the pipes or is everyone going to tune down a 3rd or so.. octave? LOL. They were great in their time but god are they are going to be almost 70 years old.. What they should do is release a concert from when they were the best band in the world.. like in 1973 for instance.

I'm going to check it out, I really hope they aged gracefully. Seems to me last time I saw page play guitar he wasn't very good, Kind of like Eddie Van Halen, he's another one that lost it.

Dazed and Confused and No Quarter are extended. The rest are pretty straight. One of the stipulations of the reunion is Plant said he didn't want much improv (he wanted to make sure they could knock out ONE successful reunion...every one before that was terrible).

It's Physical Graffiti...although Physical Graphite would have fit the band name

Plant was 60 at the time, and Page was 65. They had to tune down to concert pitch (1/2 step down), but Stairway went down 3 steps. Something happened to Plant's voice in the early 80's where he couldn't hit those high notes anymore (I think he blamed it on smoking).
