The order will be different, but on April 26th, when ZEP appeared the day before the Fillmore, Winterland's masterpiece will also be released on a limited press CD. Compared to the Fillmore, which is one of the standard among the many ZEP live sound sources because it is a sound board recording, this day is often overlooked because it is a 1969 audience recording. Certainly, it is undeniable that the sound quality is lower in rank than the next day's audience recording, and this tendency is especially seen in the second set. However, the sound quality is not as vintage as the AUD sound source that was lined up at the Fillmore in January, but it is still one of the sound sources that ``69 enthusiasts like'' (for that reason, it includes songs such as ``First Concert As The New Yardbirds'' from the analog LP era) It may be surprising that the item was on display). On the contrary, there is a clear reason why enthusiasts prefer this day. This is because, in addition to the "excellent performance content", the "interesting set list" has earned him a solid reputation among enthusiasts. First of all, the scream of the plant on this day was on another level. Until at least the middle of 1971, Plant had created a legend with his unparalleled screaming voice, but on this day he overwhelmed American audiences with his hyper-screams that seemed almost human. Masu. Moreover, it is even more so since it is emitted from the beginning of the live performance. “I Can’t Quit You Baby” has many wonderful performances throughout the year of 1969, but I declare that the performance here is a masterpiece that is in the top three. However, it is not only the young plant's scream that is responsible for the splendor of this day's performance. Page showed off her tricky and technical playing throughout the entire live performance, which I introduced earlier on the next day. His play continues to shine today. When I heard the speedy playing that he played in the middle of "How Many More Times," I couldn't help but realize that he was once called one of the "three great guitarists" along with Clapton and Beck. I can't stay. Moreover, it goes great with the Les Paul that I used for the first time live. This is where the foundation of ZEP's sound was formed. Still, you can't miss the fact that the free and creative stage performance, which was also centered around Page's guitar, is engraved in the sound source of this day. After all, the composition was completely different from the next day. “Communication Breakdown”, which was played as an encore there, was the opening song here. Similarly, at the next day's live show, "Dazed And Confused", which was played at the end of the second set, is still played in the first half, but there is a surprising development in the second half of the performance. That's right, the psychedelic play using theremin that later became synonymous with "Whole Lotta Love" appeared. Although the song was different, it was a historic moment as this was the first time Page had used theremin live. However,... An even more historic moment will come at the end of this day's live performance. What they played at the encore was the newly composed “Whole Lotta Love,” which had not even been recorded yet, so it is surprising. The riffs and singing parts that have become synonymous with ZEP have already been completed, but the development in the middle is completely undecided. It was Page's transcendental play that filled that gap. Interestingly, the theremin shown earlier is not used here. In fact, I think the earlier introduction made me realize that I should use the theremin in this song. Therefore, the fresh performance is even more moving than the BBC Radio version, which was also shown before release. And even the audience, who were not excited at all when the performance first started (in fact, they may have been holding their breath at the scene where the new song was performed...), gave enthusiastic applause when the performance ended. I can't help but feel moved too. The appearance of the birth of the repertoire that later became a standard at the end of ZEP live performances. This release is a recording of such historical sound sources in their most natural state (please listen and compare them with past items).
