The tape starts out with the British taper announcing his own recording followed by the "official" Bob Harris intro. The tape is a little distant, audience noise can be well heard, but it seems to add to the whole spectacle. The acoustics of the venue no doubt play a part in the slightly muddied sound. The only gripe I really have is that the bass and drums at times melt together due to the echoing acoustics of the hall and the location of the recorder making it hard to hear Jones clearly. I think I would rather have it this way though as opposed to having a heavily distorted tape. Rock And Roll suffers from being the initial song in the set and there's problems with Jimmy's guitar and it growls for a bit and finally drops out completely leaving the band to play without him for a few seconds. Plant comments that the cause of the guitar problems was a jack plug. In My Time Of Dying is well received by the British audience. The boys are in good forum tonight with no major mistakes, sticky fingers, etc. They are probably a little reserved not wanting to error or fail in an attempt to impress the home crowd. The songs seem to be slower and more mellow than normal perhaps in attempt to retain control. There is a source swap after The Rain Song, it's quite well done and only lasts a few minutes before another very well done switch back to the main source previous to the start of Kashmir. In fact, all of the tape swaps are seamlessly done. Excellent job by Empress Valley in this aspect. Kashmir is heavy on the high end, losing some of the brute force low end sound but it still sounds great. The guitar is higher in the mix than the Mellotron and I prefer the sound this way over the Mellotron being too prominent in the mix. There is the tiniest of goofs in the track, but they boys make a very good on the fly recovery (nothing like some of the disasters that would come in the years ahead). One of the audience members comments "thank you, good night - that's what I've been waiting for" at the end of Kashmir. The Plantations are longer and warmer than normal throughout the show and lack his usual "wit". Plant is undoubtedly happy to be back in England performing before friends and family. No Quarter stretches 24 minutes. It would be interesting to talk to someone who saw Zeppelin live back in the 70's and ask what their thoughts at the time were of a classical piano solo in the middle of a hard rock concert. The boys work well with one another in this track and the time just flies past. The intro to the acoustic set has Plant saying "This is one small step for your ears, but a giant step for our confidence cause we've not played it in years and years." Tangerine suffers at the hand of the acoustics in the hall and Plant gets plenty of help with the vocals - Robert comments that "today it's Zeppelin, tomorrow the Hollies". The acoustic set is very well received. Plant is almost constantly trying to quiet the audience in-between songs, but they keep quiet during the songs. Plant traces the the origins of Trampled Underfoot to Robert Johnson's "Terraplane Blues". Gallows Pole lyrics are included at the end of Trampled Underfoot tonight. There is a slight stumble in the Stairway To Heaven solo that is probably caused by a source switch. After Stairway ends, there's over eight minutes of audience cheer waiting for the encores. Plant explains that they had to have a cup of tea. The shortened medley section within Whole Lotta Love would appear to have been made up on the spot. It includes a Theramin workout before Black Dog kicks in. An interesting opening night. The band is definitely taking their time and making an effort to keep mistakes to a minimum. I must comment on Empress Valley's damn near seamless source switches - they could be the best I've heard. Someone spent some time carefully getting the source swap seams this good and whoever it was deserves a nod of recognition for his or her effort. (Steve Prendergast August 02)
