We listen to an amazing set by Robert Plant during his Priory of Brion phase, back on June 21, 2000 in Reading UK. The Priory of Brion was a brief tour he did with a band comprised of friends from pre Zep. We listen to stellar performances of A House is Not A Hotel (Love cover), Darkness Darkness, and a haunting beautiful Song to the Siren. A true joy. You'll like it.Ep 380 - Baltimore 1970
We hear a sweet recording of Led Zeppelin in Baltimore, on April 5, 1970, and it's awesome. I play a blistering We're Gonna Groove followed by an epic, medley-filled How Many More Times. A good time was had by all.
Ep 379 - Atlanta Motor Speedway 1969
We listen to a tape liberated by the Dogs of Doom awhile back, Atlanta Motor Speedway July 5, 1969. We have Led Zeppelin stretching into their Les Paul era, nicely. I play Train Kept A Rollin' and a blistering …

We listen to a tape liberated by the Dogs of Doom awhile back, Atlanta Motor Speedway July 5, 1969. We have Led Zeppelin stretching into their Les Paul era, nicely. I play Train Kept A Rollin' and a blistering Dazed and Confused.Ep. 378 - St Lou Part Two
St. Louis was so good I had to come back for a second helping. Feb 16. 1975 Led Zeppelin played in St. Louis, MO and we gotta show, ya know? It's a good show with really creative choices by our Mr. Page. I play …

St. Louis was so good I had to come back for a second helping. Feb 16. 1975 Led Zeppelin played in St. Louis, MO and we gotta show, ya know? It's a good show with really creative choices by our Mr. Page. I play Kashmir and In My Time of Dying. It's good.Ep 377 - St Louis 1975 Remaster
We get to enjoy a fantastic remaster, by Liriodendron, of Led Zeppelin playing St. Louis, MO on Feb 16, 1975. This is a make up show for an earlier date in January, which was canceled due to Robert's flu. I …
Show notes
We get to enjoy a fantastic remaster, by Liriodendron, of Led Zeppelin playing St. Louis, MO on Feb 16, 1975. This is a make up show for an earlier date in January, which was canceled due to Robert's flu. I play a tight and tactile Trampled Underfoot, followed by an absolutely sublime No Quarter. A good time was had by all. Enjoy.Ep 376 - Robert with Saving Grace Flagstaff 2026
We hear a gorgeous recording of Robert Plant with Saving Grace w/ Suzi Dian, in Flagstaff, AZ on Sept 25, 2026. Everyone shines in this as we listen to Let the Four Winds Blow, an absolutely sublime Rain Song …
Show notes
We hear a gorgeous recording of Robert Plant with Saving Grace w/ Suzi Dian, in Flagstaff, AZ on Sept 25, 2026. Everyone shines in this as we listen to Let the Four Winds Blow, an absolutely sublime Rain Song, followed by the newly added Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. At almost 80 years of age Robert Plant still defines, then redefines, what it means to be an artist. It's lovely.Ep. 375 - Best of UK 1971
We listen to two tracks from a fantastic compilation by Zephead315, of Led Zeppelin's legendary 1971 UK tour. Culling the best tracks from the best dates we hear an otherworldly Whole Lotta Love with all the …
Show notes
We listen to two tracks from a fantastic compilation by Zephead315, of Led Zeppelin's legendary 1971 UK tour. Culling the best tracks from the best dates we hear an otherworldly Whole Lotta Love with all the medleys (incl Buddy Holly's Heartbeat) and power in the world. We finish with a brilliant cover of Eddie Cochran's Weekend. Worth a listen for sure.Ep. 373 - Blueberry Hill Chi166
This show, Sept 4, 1970, is one of the most popular and legendary recordings around. Blueberry Hill. The show with a zillion sources and most of them sound great. This is a demix/remix of the Blimp source by …
Show notes
This show, Sept 4, 1970, is one of the most popular and legendary recordings around. Blueberry Hill. The show with a zillion sources and most of them sound great. This is a demix/remix of the Blimp source by Chi166, and we get to experience this classic show in a new light. I play the encores, Communication Breakdown w/ Good Times Bad Time & more, a raucous Out on the Tiles, and finally a joyous Blueberry Hill to close out the night. Time to revisit an old friend.Ep. 372 - Badgeholders DeMixed Chi166
We hear a new version (V1.1) of the legendary Badgeholders show from June 23, 1977 at the LA Forum. Chi166 makes some revisions to his prior demix/remix, and we take a listen. I play a frenetic and powerful …
Show notes
We hear a new version (V1.1) of the legendary Badgeholders show from June 23, 1977 at the LA Forum. Chi166 makes some revisions to his prior demix/remix, and we take a listen. I play a frenetic and powerful Over the Hills, a Kashmir that almost (but not quite) went off the rails, and a legendary moment when Keith Moon from The Who played Rock and Roll with Led Zeppelin. A pretty nice one, folks.Ep. 371 - The Firm Atlanta 1985
We hear a master recording of The Firm playing the Omni in Atlanta, on April 18, 1985. It's a very good show with great energy, and playing from Mr. Page. I play a very cool Satisfaction Guaranteed, a …
Show notes
We hear a master recording of The Firm playing the Omni in Atlanta, on April 18, 1985. It's a very good show with great energy, and playing from Mr. Page. I play a very cool Satisfaction Guaranteed, a rollicking Full Circle, and we wrap it up with a bluesy Boogie Mama. Enjoy.Ep. 370 - Page Plant Washington DC 1998
We hear an absolute screamer of a show from Jimmy Page/Robert Plant as they play Washington, DC 7/7/98, in support of Walking Into Clarksdale. Jimmy is on absolute fire as we hear him shred through How Many …
Show notes
We hear an absolute screamer of a show from Jimmy Page/Robert Plant as they play Washington, DC 7/7/98, in support of Walking Into Clarksdale. Jimmy is on absolute fire as we hear him shred through How Many More Times (fantastic), and Most High. A fun time was had by all.Ep. 369 - Led Zeppelin Munich 1980
We listen to Tarantura's release of Led Zeppelin in Munich, on July 5, 1980. This is the penultimate performance of Led Zeppelin before Bonzo's tragic passing. It's a fun show with surprisingly good …
Show notes
We listen to Tarantura's release of Led Zeppelin in Munich, on July 5, 1980. This is the penultimate performance of Led Zeppelin before Bonzo's tragic passing. It's a fun show with surprisingly good performances by Mr. Page. We hear In the Evening, Rock and Roll, and a very special Whole Lotta Love with Simon Kirke of Bad Company sitting in on drums, alongside Bonzo. It's great. They still had it at the end.Ep. 368 - Vancouver 1975 chi166 Remix
This is a good one! We listen to the demix/remix, by Chi166, of Led Zeppelin playing Vancouver, BC, on March 20, 1975. The sound is incredible. Almost professional sounding. The performance is great with high …
Show notes
This is a good one! We listen to the demix/remix, by Chi166, of Led Zeppelin playing Vancouver, BC, on March 20, 1975. The sound is incredible. Almost professional sounding. The performance is great with high energy and playfulness. I play a very creative and driven Over The Hills followed by a No Quarter that is nothing short of perfect. I hope you enjoy and much as I.Ep. 367 - Jonesy and Diamanda Galas Portland 1994
This is a really cool recording of John Paul Jones with Diamanda Galas supporting their Sporting Life tour, in Portland, Oregon December 8, 1994. This is an intimate performance with just Jonesy on bass …
Show notes
This is a really cool recording of John Paul Jones with Diamanda Galas supporting their Sporting Life tour, in Portland, Oregon December 8, 1994. This is an intimate performance with just Jonesy on bass, guitars, and keyboards, Diamanda on her eight octave vocals, and Denny Fongheiser on drums. This show was recorded in the ballroom of the Portland Art Museum. It's really cool and spooky, and soulful, and heavy.Ep. 366 - ZoCrowes Tinley Park 2000
This is a very nice recording of Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes, from June 24, 2000 in Tinley Park, IL. The show is a banger as is the norm for this tour. I play a soulful Bad Luck Blue Eyes with tasteful …
Show notes
This is a very nice recording of Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes, from June 24, 2000 in Tinley Park, IL. The show is a banger as is the norm for this tour. I play a soulful Bad Luck Blue Eyes with tasteful Jimmy licks throughout, the never played live by Zeppelin, In The Light (which shines with all those guitars), and fun and rollicking Out on the Tiles. A good time is to had. Come on in.Ep. 365 - Zurich 1980 Westwood One
We hear from Led Zeppelin playing Zurich on June 29, 1980, which was broadcast on the Westwood One Radio Network in 90's. It's the standard soundboard recording, I believe, but it's been mastered for broadcast …
Show notes
We hear from Led Zeppelin playing Zurich on June 29, 1980, which was broadcast on the Westwood One Radio Network in 90's. It's the standard soundboard recording, I believe, but it's been mastered for broadcast, and thus sound better. I play a fantastic Trampled Underfoot and Achilles Last Stand, along with Nobody's Fault But Mine (taken from the standard sbd not broadcast). This is fun and a nice testament to the viability of 1980 Zep.Ep. 364 - Cleveland 1977 Acoustic Set
I play almost the entire acoustic set from April 27, 1977, when Led Zeppelin played Cleveland, OH. The only track I omit is the Jonesy sung Battle of Evermore. You're welcome. Going to California, Black Country …
Show notes
I play almost the entire acoustic set from April 27, 1977, when Led Zeppelin played Cleveland, OH. The only track I omit is the Jonesy sung Battle of Evermore. You're welcome. Going to California, Black Country Woman, and Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp are played in one fell swoop, preserving the flow. Then, because it felt too short otherwise, I included the oddly placed encore performance of Trampled Underfoot.Ep. 363 - Seattle Second Night 1972
I play songs from a nice 2nd Gen recording of Led Zeppelin during their second night in Seattle, June 19, 1972. This is a marathon show, running more than three hours, and they even played Dancing Days twice! I …
Show notes
I play songs from a nice 2nd Gen recording of Led Zeppelin during their second night in Seattle, June 19, 1972. This is a marathon show, running more than three hours, and they even played Dancing Days twice! I play the most epic Jonesy organ solo, going into Thank You, and I finish up with a rousing cover of Money (That's What I Want). This is a good one.Ep. 362 - Landover 1977 Matrix
This week we listen to a matrix made by Ryan Newton, of Led Zeppelin in Landover, MD on May 28, 1977. The Landover run is the Jan Brady of runs on this tour, overshadowed by LA and NYC, but it's a solid set of …
Show notes
This week we listen to a matrix made by Ryan Newton, of Led Zeppelin in Landover, MD on May 28, 1977. The Landover run is the Jan Brady of runs on this tour, overshadowed by LA and NYC, but it's a solid set of shows. I play Sick Again, Achilles Last Stand, and show closer Whole Lotta Love/Rock and Roll. A good time was had by all.Ep. 361 - Newcastle 1971 Master
We hear from a nice new transfer of the master cassette, by KRW_CO, of Led Zeppelin playing Newcastle City Hall on November 11, 1971. This is a nice clear recording in which the band is wonderful. I play the …
Show notes
We hear from a nice new transfer of the master cassette, by KRW_CO, of Led Zeppelin playing Newcastle City Hall on November 11, 1971. This is a nice clear recording in which the band is wonderful. I play the entire acoustic set of That's the Way, Going to California, and Tangerine in one fell swoop, then wrap it up with a raucous and funky Communication Breakdown. As most of them are, this is a good one.Ep. 360 - Page Plant Frauenfeld 1995
We hear a spectacular performance by everyone involved in this master recording of Page/Plant in Frauenfeld, Switzerland on July 8, 1995. This show hits hard. It's more on the level of 1998 than 1995 to my …
Show notes
We hear a spectacular performance by everyone involved in this master recording of Page/Plant in Frauenfeld, Switzerland on July 8, 1995. This show hits hard. It's more on the level of 1998 than 1995 to my ears. It's awesome. I play a medley filled Calling to You (with Light My Fire, Break on Through, Dazed and Confused, and more) which is just 10/10 from everyone. Then on to Four Sticks which glides into In the Evening, which is also 10/10. A great one.Ep. 359 - Bonzos Birthday 1973
Led Zeppelin played the LA Forum on John Bonham's 25 birthday, May 31, 1973. It's a great show with multiple sources, and I play Celebration Day from the soundboard, and Heartbreaker and Whole Lotta Love from …
Show notes
Led Zeppelin played the LA Forum on John Bonham's 25 birthday, May 31, 1973. It's a great show with multiple sources, and I play Celebration Day from the soundboard, and Heartbreaker and Whole Lotta Love from the Source 1 Audience tape. It's a fun show with a wild audience. Robert leads all 15,000 people in a round of Happy Birthday for Bonzo, and we go from there. Good stuff.Ep. 358 - Brussels 1980 Matrix
We listen to a delightful remaster and matrix of Led Zeppelin playing Brussels, Belgium on June 20, 1980 It's a good show with a lively band, and audience. The matrix of soundboard and audience recordings …
Show notes
We listen to a delightful remaster and matrix of Led Zeppelin playing Brussels, Belgium on June 20, 1980 It's a good show with a lively band, and audience. The matrix of soundboard and audience recordings breathes life into the dry soundboards. It's a joy to hear. I play Achilles Last Stand, Since I've Been Loving You (very good), and Whole Lotta Love. Eye Thank Yew! NOTE: Because I'm an idiot I keep saying this is Bremen, but it's Brussels.Ep. 357 - A New Copenhagen Remaster 1979
We listen to an excellent new remaster of the legendary 2nd night in Copenhagen, of Led Zeppelin. They were warming up for the titanic Knebworth shows days later, and their playing is out of this world. 1973 …
Show notes
We listen to an excellent new remaster of the legendary 2nd night in Copenhagen, of Led Zeppelin. They were warming up for the titanic Knebworth shows days later, and their playing is out of this world. 1973 level proficiency and clarity found in 1979. It's magic for many reasons and the improvements made in this remaster are substantial. I play Nobody's Fault, an INCREDIBLE No Quarter, and my favorite (imo the best) performance of Ten Years Gone, ever. Don't sleep on this one.Ep. 356 - Led Zeppelin LA Forum 1971 2nd Night
I play two tracks from Led Zeppelin's Aug. 22, 1971 show at the LA Forum. I play What Is And What Should Never Be, and a nice 1971 flavored Dazed and Confused. A good time was had by all. Hurrah!
Ep. 355 - Led Zeppelin Boston Tea Party First Night 1969
We hear songs from the first night of Led Zeppelin's legendary run at the Boston Tea Party. This is from Jan. 23, 1969 and shows a band so powerful they almost combust. Tight but loose (and heavy on the loose) …
Show notes
We hear songs from the first night of Led Zeppelin's legendary run at the Boston Tea Party. This is from Jan. 23, 1969 and shows a band so powerful they almost combust. Tight but loose (and heavy on the loose). Robert's voice is almost wild in the wonderfully chaotic affair. I play As Long As I Have You and Dazed and Confused, both long jams with lots of improvisation. You can hear the audience being blown away but what they witness. A good one.Ep. 354 - Led Zeppelin Seattle 1972 First Night
We listen some tracks from the master transfer (thanks JEMS) of Led Zeppelin in Seattle, WA on June 18, 1972. This tape, while excellent, is incomplete with on 45 minutes recorded. What was captured is …
Show notes
We listen some tracks from the master transfer (thanks JEMS) of Led Zeppelin in Seattle, WA on June 18, 1972. This tape, while excellent, is incomplete with on 45 minutes recorded. What was captured is wonderful. I play a serene Going to California, a sublime Since I've Been Loving You, and a sensational Stairway to Heaven. Good vibes. Good times. Great show.Ep. 353 - Page Plant Cleveland 1995
We hear a nice punchy tape of Page/Plant in Cleveland, on March 28, 1995 on their Unledded Tour. Robert's voice is strong and powerful as he sings, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Calling To You (w/ Boogie Chillun and …
Show notes
We hear a nice punchy tape of Page/Plant in Cleveland, on March 28, 1995 on their Unledded Tour. Robert's voice is strong and powerful as he sings, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Calling To You (w/ Boogie Chillun and Dazed), and a potent Shake My Tree. A nice early tour show.Ep. 352 - Robert Plant Saving Grace Nashville 2026
This is a lovely recording of a short set performed in tandem with an interview with David Fricke, which happened March 25. 2026 in Nashville, TN. This is the night before their performance at the legendary …
Show notes
This is a lovely recording of a short set performed in tandem with an interview with David Fricke, which happened March 25. 2026 in Nashville, TN. This is the night before their performance at the legendary Ryman. The band are brilliant, Robert is in good voice, and spirits, and the show is sublime. I play It's A Beautiful Day Today, Everybody's Song, and Ramble On.Ep. 351 - Led Zeppelin Landover 1977
We take another dive into May 30, 1977 and Led Zeppelin's powerful performance on their last night in Landover, MD. Using Liriodendron's remaster of the soundboard, I play Achilles Last Stand, Kashmir, and …
Show notes
We take another dive into May 30, 1977 and Led Zeppelin's powerful performance on their last night in Landover, MD. Using Liriodendron's remaster of the soundboard, I play Achilles Last Stand, Kashmir, and Nobody's Fault But Mine. It's a fun gig.
