There are 4 CDs here. One set of restored tracks, and one set of the raw source.


I believe this to have been recorded mostly from outside the venue.

Quote from Peter Grant:
"I remember when we did Montreux. It was so packed. I had the idea of feeding the sound outside
onto the lawns where loads of fans who couldn't get in had congregated. Claude Knobs loved that."

Peter's PA allowed us to hear this show, even if the taper couldn't get inside.
There are a few places you can hear the sound get MUCH better as a door opens and closes.
It seems to me the taper was standing outside a door, in front of one of Peter Grant's PA speakers.

He moved quite a bit, so the sound quality varies. When the keyboard (melotron?) was on,
there was a terrible hum produced - so bad that Stairway has a warble from all the harmonics bleedover.

I've tried to restore this audio as best I can in the places it has loads of hum / warble / pops / start-stops,
and massive volume swings, etc.

This source was given to me by a person that wishes the world to be able to hear this show for free.
Thanks to him. His condition was that I try to fix all the little issues. I like to hear people restore bad tape,
but I also like to hear the lowgen raw sources, too, so I've included BOTH - hence the 4CDs.

The highlights of this show:
- Robert Plant. Planty is ON for this show. It's a shame the recording isn't better...
he was really belting it out - hitting notes he soon would never hit again.
- The plantation about "Making a bootleg record tonight..." and how those people can keep from
calling themselves capitalists. Classic.
- The immigrant song solo. Listen at 2:30 & 3:00 or so to the restored track.
That little decending wail Page does is not something I've heard before from him. Very cool.

There are more.

There's a rumour theat EVSD will release this in the near future. I hope they found a better source,
but I'm not sure this source can get much better. Maybe theirs will be from inside the venue.

This is a 3rd Gen CDR source. Master tape to CDR, to CDR, to CDR - probably using one of
those consumer CDR recorders, I'd bet. So, it would be possible to do a bit better by eliminating
some of the CDR transfers. Time will tell.
