Led Zeppelin (9/Cd) Live on Blueberry Hill 1970

Listen to the title “LIVE ON BLUEBERRY HILL”, as soon as the famous catchphrase “One hundred and six minutes and fifty three seconds of pure alive rock” comes, that hot performance floats in my mind. September 4, 1970. Do not know how much I listened to a masterpiece with a famous performance. If there is only one item of Zeppelin in your house that is engraved in history as the most famous title of Zeppelin history composed of the title, artwork and contents, it is probably “Blueberry Hill” It will be “Destroyer”. Since there is an item in any wikipedia, it can be said that it is not only not only during the collector but also widely known to the public. The latest work by Wendy label will be the title which separately recorded “LIVE ON BLUEBERRY HILL” of five existing sources.

【US Tour of Summer 1970】 Led Zeppelin of 1970 was doing the stage with a hard schedule which is impossible now. Originally supporting the fame of Zeppelin was a staging to do with all effort, there is no doubt that the evaluation increased in reviews of fans who actually took in. When I scrutinize the schedule of this year, I am doing a tour with UK in January, Europe from February to March and the US from March to April. Moreover, since it is the one which continued from October 1969, its overdensity may be heard. And six performances in June and July, and the summer tour which started again in August in the second national tour that will be this year again.

The tour was originally scheduled to start from Cincinnati on August 5, 1970, but because the father of John Paul Jones was sick, the schedule of the first week was deferred and August 15 New Haven became the first day It was. It took turns around the whole country for about a month, and the number actually counts 25 performances. This tour is a tour on which numerous legendary shows were held before enthusiastic audiences, and “LIVE ON BLUEBERRY HILL” will be one of the legends. From this year on September 4th we had a memorable day for Zeppelin fans. On a schedule a little past the return point, the prestigious performance was left with Okland and the previous day San Diego the day before that, as well as two weeks when Enomoto Kihachi reached the “divine area”, Led Zeppelin It can be said that it was a miraculous time indeed a heartfelt fulfillment.

【Tapers leaping behind Los Angeles】 “Blueberry Hill” is listed as one of the early bootlegs. This show first appeared in the world is a sound source recorded by enthusiastic maniacs K and D. These two recordings were released from a label named BLIMP and became a hot topic together with the good sound quality. After all, the person himself testifies that the same person recorded the same equipment with the famous Rolling Stones “LIVER THAN YOU ‘L EVER BE” of high sound quality. Although it was originally released on the BLIMP label, it was recurred in the name of the label TMOQ, which was later created by K and D.

Audience Recording From the earliest season, the land pattern of Los Angeles is known for producing a number of excellent recordings, including those based on Mike Millard. It is evidence, regardless of the artist regardless of the artist, the performance in Los Angeles is Wings, Floyd, Stones, and in any age it is blessed with a high-quality audience recording. Especially for this “LIVE ON BLUEBERRY HILL”, it has been found that there are multiple identical performances other than the Blimp / TMOQ label, and five sources are excavated indeed. There are examples where there are many more sources in the Japanese performance etc. However, it is surprising to the fact that there are so many sources in about one performance. As a result of matching various favorable conditions such as taper started recording for the first time from the beginning, things turned to multiple tapes for insurance, and Los Angeles where the numerous tapers dramatically progressed I guess. Although I do not know whether such tapers have been exchanged, it has not been quite a lot of interaction as a competitor, and I imagine that I was trying to improve my skills by working hard.

【5 sources】 As mentioned earlier, September 4, 1970 Los Angeles performance currently has five sources confirmed. In this work, they are recorded separately by source. Sources 1 and 2 are recorded on disks 1 and 2. This is the source used in BLIMP / TMOQ. Slightly high tone sounds rough, but indeed it was released at that time and became a reputation, and the tone story that there was a panic who misunderstood as official release was also high sound quality. Especially since the beat of the base is recorded securely, I can feel the feeling of that unique groove feeling altogether. When I carefully examine this source 1, I notice that two sources, such as those recorded by two more nearly side by side, are mixed. Probably because this was going to be recorded on the premise of releasing on their label, it probably was turning two recorders at the same seat to avoid problems. The Zeppelin ‘s concert is a bullshit manager Peter Grant called a manager of Coimotho who is shining eyes, and in the bus festival it is about the story that the recorder which was recording the concert was knocked down with an ax is conveyed. It is wonder why he had an ax with a concert, but it seems that he insured himself as if it were okay even if such a thing happened. For the sake of convenience, this work is written as SOURCE 1a and 1b.

Disks 3 and 4 are sources 2. It is monophonic, powerful and has nearly noises, and this is also a high-quality sound recording that makes it difficult to attach Bell. The high region is also calm and very easy to listen, and it is comparable to the TMOQ source. Empress Valley label and Last Stand Disc label released in the past four TMOQ sources and this source 2, but indeed, as it is, none of them are still thrown away, and maniacs own both of these It should be kept.

Disks 5 and 6 contain source 3. The greatest feature of this source will be the point where there is spreading sound and depth. Three-dimensional sound images were not in the previous two sources, relatively slightly lighter sounds, but this is also a wonderful sound quality.

Disks 7 and 8 were excavated from the beginning of the 1990s. Although it is of high sound quality, the sound image is somewhat far away. Perhaps if the first appearance performance is unearthed with this sound quality, the world will welcome with surprises, but other sources are too high quality, so it is undeniable that the evaluation is one step lower than relative evaluation. In the original board, there were parts where the volume level rose in the middle in three songs “Keep loving you”, “Love of two strong”, “Communication Breakdown”, but in this film, each one was adjusted flat and there was no discomfort It has been processed as.

And last disc 9 is recorded as source 5 from the analog board of RUBBER DUBBER label. Unfortunately this sauce does not seem to remain on the tape, all the already-released boards are recorded from the analog board. However, this work carefully removes the needle tone, and it lists it as clean as it does not notice that the analog board is the original when listening.

【artwork】 Excellent artwork can be cited as a big factor characterizing “LIVE ON BLUEBERRY HILL”. It can be said that “LIVE ON BLUEBERRY HILL” was a clown that was promoted to a “work” including a jacket from a vinyl with no bootleg taste. This artwork is also produced by TMOQ. This painting lined with nude women at the front is based on a painting by the Fontainebleau late 16th century “portrait deemed Gabriel Destre and its sister Duchess of Biyar” (authors unknown). Based on this masterpiece various jackets are completed with various collages. Because it is too impressive and excellent design, it is a design that has been followed by numerous titles even in the CD era. At the front of the slip case of this work is original monotone, and in the slip a colored color version is treated. In line with “DESTROYER”, there are titles that can not be counted on the same name as the same name, and again speaking of “LIVE ON BLUEBERRY HILL”, many people say that this jacket is not perfect.

【set list】 Looking back on Zeppelin from the historical perspective of posterity, 1970 corresponds to the early stage, unlike the later years when the set list was stylized due to convenience such as directing, it can be said that it was a stage of considerable freedom. “Blueberry Hill” which was the origin of the title of this performance is one of them. It is a cover song of Fats and Domino played by encore, and in addition to this performance, it can be confirmed from the sound source that it is performing also in the Oakland performances the other day before. Such Oldies may be a hobby of the plant. “Out On The Tiles” which is still performed by encore is also a very unusual selection. From 1973 only the intro as a prelude to take the key of “Black Dog” is played, but the sound source is only left in this performance that I played through one song. It is a song included in “LED ZEPPELIN III”, but it has not been released yet at this point, and on the contrary, recording was done during this tour. Others, such as opening “Immigrant Songs”, “That’s The Way” “Keep on loving you” “Bron-Yr-Aur”, these are also unpublished songs for audiences and should have been the songs heard for the first time at this time .

To play such unreleased songs before the release may of course have the intention of promoting a new album, but furthermore, additionally, because it is the second national tour in a short period of time, it is included in the set list I wish I wanted to give fresh taste. The opening tour “We’re Gonna Groove” on the last tour was changed to “Immigrant Song”, from which the pattern connected by Medley to “Heartbreaker” will be fixed for a long time. It was almost completed in just tens of days because it was an incomplete and prototypical “immigration song” at the end of June.

Different medley every night inserted in “Whole Lotta Love” in the live of Zeppelin has become a cow of show. This day is performed in the order of Boogie Chillun, Movin ‘On, Red House, Some Other Guy, Think It Over, Honey Bee, The Lemon Song. Everything is a hard arrangement and it is a selection of songs such as the hobby of the plant. “Some Other Guy” is famous for playing at the cabin club that the Beatles played on Granada TV recording in 1962, whereas the Beatles played as a rock and roll, whereas Zeppelin played as a hard rock song It is the perfection degree which surpassed the Beatles perfectly. And the medley is also inserted in the following “Communication Breakdown”. First of all, “Good Times Bad Times” decorates the very first piece of the debut album. It is not only a touch that is often found in the medley, but it is played neat enough that I do not mind paying for credits with this one enough. Zeppelin’s active era
