Led Zeppelin: 1975-02-10 Landover, MD (FLAC_SB_3 CD)

This is the newly surfaced Landover, Maryland Led Zeppelin show we've been waiting for over the last few weeks (or longer for some).  I was able to get it two nights ago (Wednesday) over on R-O thanks to the upload and share by "Smoking Pig" over there.

I listened to the full show through headphones last night and really enjoyed it.  It is an excellent-to-superb sounding recording.

NOTE:
I'm using a free Mega account as a mirror in this upload.  Those of you downloading please leave me a message here or on the Facebook (Community Group or Secret Group) letting me know what works best as far as the links go.  I eventually plan on adding a secondary mirror site to my posts as I've always had until the last year or so.  Your opinion will help me help you.


As we would expect, the waveform does have some clipping but it is not atrocious like some other EVSD shows have been over the years.  The labels (not all but a lot) like EVSD really do not seem to understand how to work on a show without clipping the waveform (audio) it seems.  But this is no big surprise either and it is something we've come to expect from EVSD (or brickwalling if it is Tarantura).

The show starts off with Robert Plant's voice breaking and sounding really bad.  But it soon improves and the show is really a very nice performance by the band.  I think somewhere after "Sick Again" you really don't hear his voice being a problem in this show.

The mix is good but I cannot say for sure if it was too bass heavy or not right now.  As I listened via the headphones Wednesday night I made a lot of changes to the sound and got the show sounding like I wanted it.  At times I had to lower the bass setting due to it being so strong.  But nevertheless, the show sounded excellent and I really enjoyed hearing this soundboard for the first time.

Nobody has done any scans of the artwork yet it seems.  At least if they have they have not shared them yet.  I've gone ahead and searched the web and got what I could on e-Bay and a few other sites.  But we don't really get these shows for the artwork anyhow do we?  If I ever get some high resolution scans I'll add them here.

I was going to upload the show last night but really wanted to listen to it first.  Now, I don't feel like reviewing it because those who are going to get it will hear it for themselves and those that aren't getting it (but should) will have to wonder :-)  Seriously though; I just want to get it uploaded and get to sleep tonight (or this morning really).  You will like this audio if you like Led Zeppelin and should be very pleased.

Thanks again to "Smoking Pig" for being the first to get this one out for us to listen to!

I hope you enjoy the show...
