Notes: May 18, 1975 EVSD 95-98 Audio: 8- AUD Track Listing: DISC 1: Announcement, Rock And Roll, Sick Again, Over The Hills And Far Away, In My Time Of Dying, The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song, Kashmir. DISC 2: No Quarter, Tangerine, Going To California, That's The Way, Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp. DISC 3: Trampled Underfoot, Moby Dick. DISC 4: Dazed And Confused, Stairway To Heaven, Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog. The second night at the Court finds Plant in a slightly rougher voice. The recording is a bit better tonight though. The recorder is closer to the stage tonight allowing the drums and bass to retain somewhat of a separate sound. It also keeps them from becoming muddled together from the less-than-desirable acoustics of the venue. Closer also translates to punchier and more low end. No doubt Empress Valley booted the tape to help. My only issue with this is that the tape starts to distort on the high notes. In fairness, I do listen to the CD's through headphones at a fairly loud volume, but this should not be an issue. The audience tonight is very polite and quiet. Plant goes into a spell after Over The Hills about how it took three weeks to get the equipment through British customs. In My Time Of Dying could very well be the show point throughout the series of shows. The bottlenecked guitar and the skull crushing drums are at times out of control yet somehow perfectly precise. Once again, the numerous tape switches are seamless. Someone did one hell of a job editing the tapes together. Kashmir suffers from the high end distortion as well as a spot or two of tape flutter. It's an overall good version as the guitar and drums are high in the mix and the Mellotron is lower. Not everyone like it this way I am sure, but I do. The quieter sections of No Quarter reveal a ton of what I will call static, but the hard core guys would probably call it digital pops and clicks (again, I use headphones, it might not be present otherwise I can't say). No Quarter could be my favorite version to date. The low key, mellow bluesy almost jazz like at times jam section is splendid. Jimmy's loose fingers go a long way to expand the piece around Jonesy's piano structure. Tangerine is introduced as utilizing a four part harmony, a first for Zeppelin. The acoustic set is slow and delicate, Plant talking about fairy tales the the like during his audience chat-up. That's The Way gets a deafening applause. Bonzo really applies the lyrics during the Stomp almost overshadowing Plant at times. This is the show that has Plant making a scene over Peter Grant, "the fifth member" of Led Zeppelin. "Spotlight on Mr. Peter Grant on the left side of the stage". Trampled Underfoot has Page hitting all of the high notes, his fingers keeping from getting tangled up. Trampled again contains the Gallows Pole lyrics at the end. Bonzo is introduced by Plant as "A man with no taste, no manners, no friends.... sigh.... my very best friend, the man who always kicks me when I'm down.... ladies and gentlemen.... John Bonham - MOBY DICK!". Dazed And Confused pushes past the half hour mark. The playing is a bit more inspired tonight over last. Whole Lotta Love is reduced to a shell of what it once was. My guess is that since Dazed And Confused more or less followes a structure, it won out over WLL as being the "experimental jam/marathon" of the setlist. WLL usually contained a good deal of chaos and they seem to be avoiding chaos to avoid mistakes in front of teh home audience. Tonight it includes the funky section, Theramin blasts as well as The Crunge lyrics before linking non-stop into Black Dog. A very decent listen despite the boosted tape. Empress Valley has done a great job on this set (I can't stress the seamless tape swaps enough). (Steve Prendergast August 02)
