The better Led Zeppellin live recordings on vinyl.


I haven't heard the The Song Remains the Same, since I wore
it out in my Nakamichi cassette deck in my car long ago. I have most all the classic on vinyl, except for In through the out door and Coda. I was wondering what the general thoughts are on How the West was Won, and The song Remains the Same on Vinyl. I am looking for a decent representaion of Zep in concert. I am also open minded to private type
live Zep that you may have listened to. Any opinions are greatly appreciated. I am aware that the TSRTS has generally not been recognized for it's recording quality.
This makes me wonder why Classic bothered w/ that one.

I do like In Through the Out Door, but there was always a symmetry between John Bonham and Jimmy Page that was missing on that album. It was nice that it was so succesful after most reviewers thought it was going to flop. I think that album turned on a lot of people to Led Zeppelin that weren't fans prior to it.
You'll have search around to find it, but the Copenhagen Warmups are floating around out there on vinyl. Sounded pretty good. Those were the shows Zep did while preparing for the 1980-81 US tour. And then Bonzo choked on his vomit. Still kills me. Had tickets for an October 1980 gig in Buffalo. Then, it all went to hell.....
Thanks. Just listened to Houses of the Holy Saturday. I forgot how great this one is.
"The Song Remains the same" was also a movie - watch it!
How the West Was Won - never heard of it. not a zep original- skip it!
How the West Was Won is a two disc set- one audio, one DVD, with live performances by Zeppelin. I think some of the Copenhagen warm up shows were included on the HTWWW DVD.
