Led Zeppelin - 1975-02-28 - Baton Rouge, LA



A very good audience recording. The atmosphere is perfectly captured. This is the complete concert and is 175 minutes long.

"Baton Rouge,bon soir!" is Plant's greeting to the evening. The second leg of the tour has the group alot more settled and taking time to do things better. Plant talks too much,perhaps trying to achieve a more intimate link with the audience.
"No Quarter" has definately been changed. Jones embarks on a very expanded acoustic piano solo,in a classical concert mood (Grade B we might say,but at moments effective),and the three-way instrumental passage is also extended.
"Dazed & Confused" is introduced as a historical event returning to the early days,and "San Francisco" is dropped,replaced by a bone-crushing version of CSN&Ys "Woodstock". Solemn and full of nostalgia,it perhaps is a sad remembrance of a dream that died too soon.
"Stairway To Heaven" has Page in forceful,dramatic pace,squeezing the riffs and repeating the musical phrases obsessively. The theramin battle,with lyrics included for the first time in "Whole Lotta Love",is augmented with "The Crunge".
The energy is amazing and is a fantastic example of one of the best 1975 Zeppelin concerts.

  1. This boot runs at the wrong speed.

    The master tape to this recording does not circulate; the taper purposefully generated down the recording.

    It's doubtful that a true copy of the master tape will ever circulate.

    At best, this is a 10th to 12th generation recording.


    The recording has been bootlegged 8 or 9 times and not one of the bootlegs are anything lower than a 10th generation copy of the tape.
