How about a 9 song encore that began with Rock and Roll and ended with Dancing Days? I think this show was the only one that included Money and Louie Louie as a tribute to the NW. Zep at their peak after IV and including songs on the yet to be released HOTH. I saw them the following year and they were great but it didn't come close to matching this one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071081579435587703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116917536114495743.post-16569198230918039102018-07-24T07:33:03.866-04:002018-07-24T07:33:03.866-04:00One of Zep's best concerts ever.

I think this is the only time Zep ever out of the blue introduced so much new material in the middle of a tour, clearly they were feeling it for this show. <br /><br />By the way, the girl who goes "Oh wow, wow" after SIBLY, i'm pretty sure she is doing that in response to the doublenecked guitar being brought on stage. She does it right before Stairway which is the first song of the night to use that guitar and almost immediately after she says that the taper makes mention of the doubleneck. Zep didn't play Seattle in 1971, so for these fans it is probably their first sight of that instrument and it seems to have left an impression!

The better the sound system, the better it will sound. Once you get into it, you can hear every instrument and really "enjoy" the recording for what it is, which is really like being among a wild audience and being stunned by the show.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17373197568045831736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116917536114495743.post-21392796120530716272016-06-16T21:16:05.139-04:002016-06-16T21:16:05.139-04:00Well said, FRX, I will most definitely give you th...Well said, FRX, I will most definitely give you that. A great many people feel that this Seattle concert is the best show Zep ever did. But the LA show six days later is very, very close to this setlist, the band is on fire that night as well, and it is thankfully a very nice audience recording. The older I get, I just cannot force myself to listen to an awful recording no matter how great the performance anymore. There is just too much good stuff out there. My only real complaint about HTWWW is how much of the atmosphere Jimmy cut in order to merge the two soundboards. I actually prefer Burn Like A Candle to the official HTWWW, and that is the best praise one can give to a boot. As short as it was, this 1972 tour, to me, is the best concert tour for Led Zeppelin of all time. And I am so pleased to see that you are well and paying attention to this vital Led Zeppelin internet resource! I lastly also note that the wonderful Black Beauty site, that goes so hand-in-hand with The Year Of Led Zeppelin, is over the awful server woes that took it down and is even being updated regularly once again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733300038007716512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116917536114495743.post-26517209022037938632016-06-16T19:17:55.857-04:002016-06-16T19:17:55.857-04:00@James, you said it yourself in the second sentenc...@James, you said it yourself in the second sentence of your post.

Perfor...Even the experts have written this one off. Performance and setlist-wise, perhaps the best concert Zeppelin ever put on. Recording-wise...unlistenable. How in the name of all that is holy can this be deemed a "Must Hear"? The recordings, plural, are nothing short of garbage. I have well over 100 Zeppelin boots, many of which I obtained after consulting this blog. Many, also, required numerous versions in order to get something worth keeping. There isn't one for this show. I have found all of them out there, folks, and deleted or threw away every one. It saddens me that this epic show was captured so incredibly bloody awful. Given what Jimmy did with LA and Long Beach for HTWWW, I am forced to believe that no soundboard exists for Seattle. Do yourselves a big favor...seek out LA's Burn Like A Candle boot with the audio extracted from the same-titled DVD. It is out there to be found, is just an incredible performance as well, and sounds fabulous! This one, though, is nothing short of unlistenable rubbish, and a most definite "Must Not Hear".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733300038007716512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116917536114495743.post-42307692414805116702012-10-13T09:18:00.020-04:002012-10-13T09:18:00.020-04:00Listening to this right now, Dazed and Confused is...Listening to this right now, Dazed and Confused is crazy, I actually backed it up to listen to the jams again. I still have a bit more to go. The band takes a few songs to warm up, but by "Since I've Been Loving You" they know that they are in for a LONG night. Yes the recording itsef may leave allot to be desired, but the performance has to be heard to be believed.

Man, damn good show, but this recording is TERRIBLE. I only wouldn't rate it like an Must Hear due this very irritating listening experience. <br />On performance terms, this concert is epic. On setlist, fabulous. But this recording honestly SUCKS.
