Plant sounds great, but the tempo really is off. Page is fine, but this is one where the non-Zeppers will look at us and say we tend to overlook any and all faults. I can only respond with a bad zep is better than a good anybody else most of the time. I think the Who and Pink Floyd and the Stones? on a great night can top Zep on less than stellar night. But even ok Zep is great to me. So far I've only heard this number and Bonham isn't horrible or anything, just not his "normal" self.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14184663559840016820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116917536114495743.post-45765432670088544812012-04-25T11:39:40.791-04:002012-04-25T11:39:40.791-04:00IMO due to the state Bonham was in on the night, t...IMO due to the state Bonham was in on the night, this is one '77 show that should have been cancelled or postponed...his sloppy playing ruins the performance IMO, no matter how hard Plant, Page and Jones try to make up for it. Jimmy Page having an off night is one thing, John Bonham having an off night is another thing entirely. He should have begged off performing that night, like he did in Nuremburg in 1980.nutrockernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116917536114495743.post-38898010765473134892011-06-01T15:29:46.407-04:002011-06-01T15:29:46.407-04:00From this show until June 25th or 26th, Robert'...From this show until June 25th or 26th, Robert's voice is in its best shape on this tour. You can hear it especially on SIBLY, Ten Years Gone, BOE, Going to California, and the end of Achilles' Last Stand, not just in this concert, but in most of the LA shows. While I admit that he hits more high notes in 1980 on Rock and Roll and STH, he does it only in his new "barking" style (ala "In the Evening"), which I don't like as much as his "whiny" style. At any rate, his top, non-falsetto, range is lower than in 1973 in any of these shows, but as a plus, his voice cracks much, much less than in 1973 or 1975.<br /><br />I disagree with the reviewer regarding Jimmy's solo on STH. While technically impressive, I found it a bit boring. As for his overall performance, it's always nice to hear a 1977 show in which he sounds drug-free and plays fluidly. I feel like this section of the tour was a high point for Jimmy. Starting in the NY shows, he seems more consistently "on". (The Maryland shows vary from very strong (the 30th) to really sloppy (the 28th).) He continues strong through the LA shows.<br /><br />Of course, following one of the very worst performances in his career, the next show (June 21) has one of Bonzo's best, if not his very best performance captured on tape.dragonspiritnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116917536114495743.post-6502481812963266092008-11-12T00:07:00.000-05:002008-11-12T00:07:00.000-05:00See 11/5/69 Kansas City.And while 9/29/71 may not ...See 11/5/69 Kansas City.<BR/><BR/>And while 9/29/71 may not have been Bonzo's favorite night personally, it is by no means a bad night performance-wise.FRXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890407495365629177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116917536114495743.post-48671414559369336282008-11-11T21:08:00.000-05:002008-11-11T21:08:00.000-05:00Is this the only show Bonzo ever had a bad night? ...Is this the only show Bonzo ever had a bad night?
