Led Zeppelin / Back To The LA Forum 1977 / 3CD With OBI Strip / Wendy Label
Inglewood Forum Los Angeles California USA June 22, 1977 Digitally Remastered
Zeppelin has toured every year since his debut, but after taking a rest in 1974 due to a plant throat surgery, in 1976 there was a fracture due to a car accident in the plant and he never went on tour. . Therefore, the tour in 1977 for the first time in two years was just a big event that brought back Zeppelin. This eventually became the last tour of Zeppelin in the United States. This tour is the last masculine figure to perform in front of an American fan who appreciates Zeppelin prior to his home country.
The 1977 North American tour was a long, three-part program with two rest periods in April, May, June, and July. However, during the tour in July, the third leg, the son of the plant died of illness and was interrupted with only 4 performances, and the band entered a period of indefinite rest. Therefore, the schedule will be reduced from the original schedule, and all 51 schedules will be completed when all 44 performances are scheduled. However, it seems that such troubles have been accepted enthusiastically by fans, as it has been a long-time US tour, and the largest ever tour for Zeppelin.
This tour was accompanied by the hard and hard album “Presence”, and the rehearsal for the tour was conducted carefully for two months from the beginning of the year, partly because the songs of the album were unveiled for the first time. . And on April 1, 1977, the tour finally began in Dallas.
[LOS ANAGELES 6 consecutive performances] During the 1977 tour, a large series of performances were held at MSG and here in LA. In particular, the six consecutive performances in Los Angeles, the final region of the first leg, are no exaggeration to say the highlight of this tour. If the first day is “LISTEN TO THIS EDDIE”, the third day will say “FOR BADGEHOLDERS ONLY”, and on this day there will be a lot of name boards with this title. There are still high-quality audience sound sources on June 25 and 27, both of which have high honors with famous performances. The schedule is as follows.
June 21, 1977 “LISTEN TO THIS EDDIE” (Wendy)
June 22, 1977 “BACK TO THE LA FORUM” (Wendy)
June 23, 1977 “FOR BADGEHOLDERS ONLY” (Wendy)
June 25, 1977 “SUNSET BOULVARD” (Wendy)
June 26, 1977
June 27, 1977 “ FULL IMPERIAL COLLAPSE ” (Wendy)
[BACK TO THE LA FORUM] This is the second day of the LA6 performance. It is a concert between Eddie and the badge holder, and it is also an unfortunate day that has not been blessed with so many titles. The unfortunate reason is that the sound quality of both the front and rear days is so great that the sound quality evaluation becomes relatively severe. However, when I listen to this work again, the sound quality as an absolute evaluation is not bad, but rather it is reconfirmed that it is an excellent sound quality among other 1977 sound sources.
What should be noted is the performance. Although it is a concert between Eddie and the badge holder, it is a performance with tension similar to Eddie on the first day. This fact has not been much talked about so far, but if you listen to it, the first song “The Song Remains The Same” is very high tension, especially Bonzo ’s destructive drumming. And it’s one of the best live performances, but it’s not an exaggeration to say that it surpasses Eddie.
The latest Wendy label is a complete recording of the second day of Los Angeles 6 consecutive performances. I hope you will enjoy the concert with the incandescent performance that surpasses Eddie on the first day.
