Led Zeppelin (6/Cd) Listen To This Eddie Definitive Edition

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 one that was divided into three parts, 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 a hard and hard album “Presence”, and the rehearsal for the tour was conducted carefully over the 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, were 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 number of titles 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)

The concert just before this Los Angeles show was June 19, 1977 in San Diego. This is also released on the Wendy label under the title “SAN DIEGO MYSTERY TRAIN”. As the title says, “Mystery Train” is an interesting day of entertainment, but a dull performance that drags the foot of the entire concert is so bad that it does not fit within the category of lack of detail. Met. The cause was undoubtedly in Bonzo. The intro of “The Song Remains The Same” seemed uncomfortable, and the drums did not return at the beginning. Perhaps after the concert Bonzo must have been blamed by other members. I don’t know if I was told “What am I doing out of focus!”, “I ’m doing it well! . Bonzo must have been inspired by the unfortunate performance of the day. I had a performance far from my ability, and I have no choice but to do it for the next concert. Perhaps it was a drug that would eliminate fatigue. Then, the fateful June 21, 1977, the first day of Los Angeles, later celebrated the day when it produced a famous performance that would remain in the future as “LISTEN TO THIS EDDIE”.

It is this “LISTEN TO THIS EDDIE” that is famous alongside “LIVE ON BLUEBERRY HILL” and “DESTROYER” as a collector’s item of Zeppelin. It is also a typical example where the title and content are recognized as the same. The title is said to be a message to Eddie Van Halen, who did not evaluate Jimmy Page, whether the same can be said by listening to it, but it is not certain as true . However, there is no doubt that the performance that can be heard here is the result of competing for the number 1 in the unusual history of Zeppelin. It is recognized by Jimmy Page itself and is used as BGM for the menu screen in “LED ZEPPELIN DVD” while being an audience recording. Whatever the form, it is a pleasure that the performance at this time was officially known to the fans of the world. As mentioned above, Bonzo, who showed a state of sanity in the San Diego performances, is performing a divine performance on this day. In particular, Bonzo is already amazed by the opening number “The Song Remains The Same” which can be heard with sample sound sources. Anyway, the drumming that I usually beat in the same bar is a masterpiece. It is exactly this opening that makes this day famous. A powerful performance that transcends spirits and swords will be a masterpiece of the first generation of Bonzo.

Of course, it ’s not just Bonzo. John Paul Jones plays a dance-like bass line that matches the drums. It can be said that the beauty of keyboard play in the long “No Quarter” is a beautiful reproduction of the world of rich songs. It is transmitted that the plant sings desperately to the group of instruments. The voice is tense and glossy, and it is a dignified singing where you can feel the spiritual leeway of the occasional mating hand. And you can’t tell from the sound alone, but it’s a tremendous guitar play that you can see Jimmy playing on the stage jumping over the action. The “Sick Again” intro will make you feel as if you’ve cut the strings as soon as possible. It is a dynamic and dynamic play that emphasizes the location of the spot rather than the accuracy, although it is sometimes misstoned. These four or more people who happened to have reached the peak at the same time, and fused together on the stage, unfolding the performance of the band as a whole. The fans who attended the venue this day would be historical witnesses. Although it is an obsolete word, this is the world that only Zeppelin at this time has at this time, which cannot be expressed with any modifiers, just overwhelming, overwhelming, and destructive. [About sound quality] ”The first day of the Los Angeles consecutive performance“ LISTEN TO THIS EDDIE ”has been handed down to the present day as a masterpiece and masterpiece, largely due to its sound quality. The taper is Mike Millard, who has made a sensation around the American West Coast. It is a famous taper described in Wikipedia. Not only Zeppelin, but also Stones and Floyd, it is a legendary person in our industry that has recorded high-quality recordings. Millard is reported to have recorded using Nakamichi’s equipment. Nakamichi is the representative of Made in Japan, the world’s first famous discrete 3-head cassette deck, such as the US, and Millard is a recording enthusiast who uses the latest expensive model. It was. Since he was in a wheelchair with recording equipment and disguised as a handicapped person, morally, thanks to Millard, he can listen in great sound quality. The sound quality is super high-quality sound that seems to be impossible even in the current digital recording era of the 21st century, and boasts the quality that can be endured even if it is officially released as it is. There is a wide range of sound images with a wide range that conveys the atmosphere of the venue to the present day, deep bass that echoes in clear highs, and many mirrored recordings, but this LISTEN TO THIE EDDIE is one of the best masterpieces It will be one. “FOR BADGEHOLDERS ONLY” actually recorded by Millard is also high-quality sound, but it can’t be denied that it feels one step lower than the first day. If the stage is a performance in which the best performances of four band members are fused, it should be said that this famous sound source was born by the addition of Mirrorard as a taper, and by five nieces. Anyway, if the performance is a miracle, the recording is also a miracle.

[LISTEN TO THIE EDDIE] The performance of this day has confirmed the existence of three sound sources. Discs 1 to 3 in this work are edited to complement the best audience recording recorded by Millard as mentioned above (mainly for convenience, Source 1) and Source 3 (described later). The perfect source 1 with almost no hesitation, but the cut in the middle of “Ten Years Gone” was the only cut in the song. This part was a classic compilation of complete recording by complementing it with Source 2 that first appeared in “Time Traveler” (TDOLZ), which was recorded for the second day for some reason. However, this source 2 has a drawback that the sound quality is not so good. Originally Wendy’s old version, which was almost perfect in terms of content, this time, it has been upgraded further by supplementing with source 3 with better sound quality.

The feature is the opening part. Up to now, the existing boards including the old version of Wendy had “sag” or “slack” that suddenly turned on the recording switch, but in this work there is no such drawback, and it is clean from the beginning It is probably an excellent part that has not been recorded. And it is a big difference from the past that it is cut-in not to fade in, but to make the most of the tape that was made of the material. In the same way, the sound of the existing board that was in the intro part of “Stairway To Heaven” is also beautifully recorded in this work. Also, in detail, after the “Since I’ve Been Loving You” performance and “Kashmir” performance, there is a cut in the source 1, which is complemented by the source 3. Although it is not the music part, the sound of Bonzo hitting the drums was completely missing in the existing boards so far, so we have also carefully supplemented the editing of these areas, compared to the existing boards The recording time is long and the longest recording ever. [LISTEN TO THIS ERIK] And the discs 4 to 6 of this work are recorded in the form of complementing with the source 1 after adding pitch adjustment mainly on the source 3 which the recorder himself released for the first time in 40 years. This newly excavated source 3 supplementary part is about 18 seconds in the song of “No Quarter”, about 1 minute 50 seconds in the song of “Heartbreaker”, and from “guitar solo” after running time 5 minutes 10 seconds Until the first 57 seconds of “Achilles Last Stand”. And it is about 10 seconds in the song “Stairway To Heaven”.

Source 1 is too high quality, so it’s regrettable, but it’s high enough to be considered as a 1977 recording. You will be able to listen to it with a fresh feeling, as it captures Eddie’s day you’ve become accustomed to listening to MC so far. The title “ERIK” was a recording that was 17 years old Send feedback History Saved Community
