Originally seeded June 2004 on STG.

Seeder's Notes:
I got this in a trade about 15 years ago from the taper. It's a pretty
clean copy with a small splice in the middle of Moby Dick due to tape flip.



From review at Underground Uprising:

The quality of this audience recording starts off somewhere between good and very good. The main drawback is the balance of the instrumentation. The vocals and guitar come through very clear. But the rhythm section is at the bottom of the mix, giving it a slightly distant sound. This is due to a recorder, and audience, still looking for their seats.

The sound becomes brighter and louder after the recorder gets better positioned a minute into Immigrant Song. But the rhythm section is still at the bottom of the mix. The muffled sound during Heartbreaker "phases" the guitar sound and drops the sound quality down to good. Page and Plant's protests about the lights being turned on during Heartbreaker results in the audience settling down around the recorder. This in turn helps with the clarity of the recording and the rhythm section comes through better (the snare drum is now distinguishable). The vocals and guitar are still at the top of the mix. But the recording from this point on is close to very good.

There is barely any noticeable tape hiss on this release, most likely due to the use of a very low generation tape. The inclusion of White Summer at the ending section of Dazed & Confused is unexpected, but very welcomed and fits surprisingly well. If only Plant had not vocalized over it, maybe Page would have extended further. Luis Rey asserts Tulsa Hillbilly was played before Thats the Way. But this is not true. Page does play a couple bars of something while he tunes up for Bron-Yr-Aur. He and Plant also play a couple bars of something before Since Ive Been Loving You. I'm not sure which is Tulsa Hillbilly. Plant makes an attempt at Whole Lotta Love's finale after Lemon Song. But changes his mind when feedback interrupts him.

Plant, "woman". Audience, "woman" <feedback>.

Plant, "PA. Everybody say PA". Audience, "PA".

Plant, "is crap". Audience, "is crap".

Page's guitar is absent for 10 seconds at the beginning of Communication Breakdown. The volume of the guitar is also significantly lower during Communication Breakdown, especially during the solo. But Page makes up for it by reintroducing the theremin during the bass solo and at the end of the song. ...
