ZEP's rare sound source excavation team "Dogs of Doom", who haven't heard much lately, have released a stereo soundboard recording of Jimmy Page's set from the 1983 ARMS tour. Moreover, a surprising discovery of the LA Forum performance from the American leg. There is a feeling that the ARMS American leg has been occupied by leaked pro shot footage of the familiar MSG for a long time and various good audiences, and now a sound board has come out even though it is only Jimmy's part. Moreover, speaking of the ARMS tour's LA Forum, I still remember that last year's Mike Millard-recorded "L.A. FORUM 1983 2ND NIGHT: MIKE MILLARD FIRST GENERATION TAPES" sold out in an instant, but that was on December 6th. This was the first day of the show, the 5th. If you have those, if you compare them, you'll notice that Jimmy's MC is completely different after he finishes playing "Prelude," and this alone makes me realize that this is a significant discovery. I wonder if I can get it. At the official Albert Hall in September, it was Jimmy's first time performing as his own act since ZEP disbanded, so he was clearly nervous, but American Leg... As the previous MSG video proved, they looked like they were having fun and the MC was talkative, like a different person. If it means returning to his favorite LA forum, Jimmy will be in a great mood, and you can clearly feel it just by listening to the exchanges before and after "Prelude." Jimmy's play here is surprisingly wonderful, as he only appeared on stage in such a happy mood. Of course, this was the time when his rehabilitation as a live performer began thanks to the ARMS series of stages, so his playing touch was rough. However, I am surprised at how realistically Jimmy's playing is conveyed, even though it is rough. I don't think there is any other day in this period where I can play this much. Moreover, the sound source unearthed this time is a stereo sound board with a PA out, but the sound quality is very good. Therefore, the direct feeling is strong, but still, the play that Jimmy heard here has a dignified and powerful feeling that is different from other days. The instrumental part of "Stairway to Heaven", which probably made my hands slippery as I was starting to sweat (and I was feeling excited), had a chilling moment from the intro, and it was noticeably rough. I put it away, but that's part of charm. Also, Paul Rodgers participated in Jimmy's part in the ARMS American leg, and this was a foreshadowing of what would become The Firm, but compared to the time at the Albert Hall before that, they had suddenly become more sophisticated as a stage act. ing. It can also be said that it is a sound source that makes you realize once again that Jimmy needs an excellent vocalist. Interestingly, Jimmy's play has improved even more since he appeared, and he even interrupts Rodgers' MC. Anyway, he looks like he's really having fun here. Therefore, even though only Jimmy's part is recorded, it is satisfying to listen to. On the contrary, I think you will hear his most fulfilling playing between the dissolution of ZEP and the formation of FARM. In addition, Jimmy's unique set list at this time, including "Midnight Moonlight", is now valuable. And for this release, the pitch, which was 70% higher, was strictly adjusted. When this sound source appeared on the Internet in September, there were probably many enthusiasts who threw their spoons at the pitch that was too high. By adjusting this problem, the ease of listening has improved at once. The Forum, Inglewood, CA, USA 5th December 1983 STEREO SBD ★First appearance (39:11) 1. Intro 2. Prelude 3. Who's to Blame 4.
