Jonny Lang - Long Time Coming
2003, A&M Records, CD

"Kid" Jonny took some knocks from fans who wanted him to stay frozen in time as a 15-year old blues prodigy--but, this fan appreciates the range (vocal and guitar) on this offering. Good stuff.

Eddie Hinton - Letters From Mississippi
1987, Zane Records, LP

One of my treasured vinyl selections. This guy was the real deal and you can hear his influence in about every southern rock/soul/blues artist since the mid 70's.

"Always told you I'd be coming back
In a Cadillac,
More money than anybody else in town,
Oh baby."

Led Zeppelin- Live in Central Park 7-21-69 bootleg



The band played many of the festivals in the USA that took place in 1969 (with the notable exception of a small gathering in Upstate New York in August 1969). The concert in New York's Central Park was a classic, with incredible paying by the band. However Robert Plant excelled himself with reaching some incredibly high notes at the end of You Shook Me, with Jimmy Page's guitar. The How Many More Times Medley was superb, with The Woody Woodpecker Song thrown in for good measure, and a rather sexually explicit Lemon Song.

Zeppelin played two shows that day for the Schaefer Music Festival and this tape documents the early show at 7pm. No tape has ever surfaced nor even hinted for the late show so this is all that exists from that day. The show opens with the double attack of "Train Kept A-Rollin'" followed immediately by "I Can't Quit You Babe" before a very nervous sounding Plant says, "we'd like to..it's getting a bit dark innit?"

What follows is a fourteen-minute version of "Dazed And Confused" sounding very similar to the June BBC recording. Plant adds his orgasmic moans before his non-sequiter interjections during ("I want you to talk to me") and after ("bamma lamma ding dong"). Afterwards Plant becomes apologetic by saying, "Let me tell you, we're really pleased we weren't playing here last week despite the fact that we wanted to play because it was so hot. So it seems we read the cards right because it said it's gonna be cool. It's cool. It's COOL. We got a new album coming about the second week in August but at the moment there's been a bit of a delay on it. And there's been a bit of a delay on us getting the numbers ready for stage because we're still doing the old ones. We'd like to do something that was..." A heckler interrupts Plant with "White Summer!" "In a bit. It was written by Willie Dixon. It's a thing we in England heard on and EP called Muddy Waters Twist. I don't know what that means really but this is called 'You Shook Me'". What follows is a slow, heavy version of the blues piece with Plant struggling to reach the high notes by the end. There is another heckler at the end to which the audience laughs, but what he says is inaudible. There is some audience commotion at the end of the piece and Plant chides the audience to be quiet. "White Summer", which was requested by the audience, sounds fantastic in this show with Page pushing the boundaries of the eastern scales. "How Many More Times" contains the earliest reference to "For What It's Worth" and the only one for the Woody Woodpecker theme, imitating Page's staccato riffs.

A short, compact version of "Communication Breakdown" is the only encore before the band leave the stage for the second performance of the evening. The New York tape is one of the best from Zeppelin's first year and is an essential show to own. (Gerard Sparaco May 07)

This is the greatest eff'ing band ever

Led Zeppelin - Intimidator - March 7, 1970 Le Grand Casino De Montreux - Montreux, Switzerland (Empress Valley)


The first two discs of this three CD set contains the complete show taken from an excellent audience source. The last disc contains fragments from the soundboard. Disc one starts out at the end of the band introductions. A quick sound check follows and the boys plow right into We're Gonna Groove. The audience tape perfectly captures the atmosphere of the event and displays a stunning feeling of depth.

The instruments and vocals are very well balanced with Bonzo perhaps a teenie bit low in the overall. There's a 4 second gap in the tape during We're Gonna Groove that Empress Valley plugged in with an inferior quality tape. The next tape swap is during the final minutes of White Summer. About 80 seconds of the alternate tape is used to plug the hole. When the tape swaps to the alternate source, the depth and atmosphere of the main source becomes painfully obvious. The twenty five minute version of How Many More Times is fabulous. At around the 9 minute mark as see the first appearance of the soundboard tape. It's damn near seamlessly spliced into the audience tape.

The board tape is excellent quality, but pales in comparison to the audience tape as it lacks the atmosphere and feeling of depth that the audience tape has. I'm not complaining though as it fills in the remainder of the otherwise incomplete How Many More Times. This is crucial as the medley section of HMMT is fantastic! Whole Lotta Love is just a three minute fragment from the soundboard.

The last disc is from the soundboard and, as previously noted, pales in comparison to the stunning audience tape. It is overpowered at times, has dropouts, muddied audio and so on. A rather pitiful soundboard tape. Either Empress Valley wanted to milk every last dime out of their customers or they simply wanted to present all available material in one package. It's not my call. This is an essential addition to any collection and I can't recommend it enough! (Steve Prendergast February 03)

Fantastic set, and it is wonderful to finally have a 'close to' complete boot of this amazing show. Reinforces the fact that this audience tape is one of the best I have heard, literally makes you feel you are in the tiny arena, as has been noted several times before the atmosphere is fantastic.

It seems the theramin goes kaput on Whole Lotta Love, and Jonsey hops on the Hammond organ for some pretty psychedelic effects. Worth getting almost for that fact alone. (Tim Behrens July 03)

Mom's favorite album. Actually, this LP belongs to her. Thx, mom.

Image is not mom's actual LP but my scanner isn't big enough and I'm too lazy to whip out the camera.
