    They sound far better than I expected. Page is especially sharp.

    I can't bring myself to argue with this.

    When I was growing up Zeppelin was all over the radio. Stairway to Heaven was played at least once a day on the "good" radio stations. Listeners would be treated with whole blocks of Led Zeppelin. Sadly, it seemed to be only a half dozen or so songs that got much play. Then I discovered bootlegs.

    In concert Zep had a dimension that the recording studio could not do justice to. There is an improvisational element to their live music that gets stifled in the overly rehearsed nature of recorded music. Bootlegs offered a glimpse into this facet of the band that one would miss if one limited his listening to their albums. Listening to bootleg recordings offered a look into something else about Zeppelin too- just how lousy they could be.

    Despite the fact that there are arguably a number of great songs after '74, the band probably should have broken up after releasing Physical Graffiti. The concerts reflected a very tired group that often seemed to be mailing in their effort. Page's guitar was often sloppy and solos breached the divide from improvisational to downright confused. Plant's vocal range began to suffer and the higher notes that he once could belt out with such power often registered as a squawk. Leave it to the less than discerning American listener to brand such auditory excrement as gold and the suckers that P.T. Barnum estimated were born every minute still flocked to concerts and record shops proving that while the band's musical prowess might be subject to heated debate their ability to turn an almighty dollar remained intact well past John Bonham's death.

    Hearing them play as well as they did was very good... and proof that a few decades off might be just what the doctor ordered.
