We listen to a very intimate recording of the Cars in Boston on April 30, 1977, not long before they made it big with their debut album. This show is at The Rathskeller, and gives me serious Velvet Underground vibes.

This is a brand new unheard release of Led Zeppelin's opening night of their 1975 US Tour. January 18, 1975 Bloomington, MN. All praise goes to the Dogs of Doom group. We hear live Levee, Wanton Song, and Trampled Underfoot. Levee is amazing.

We have a very shaky and late night listen to a Mike Millard 1st gen of Rod Stewart at Long Beach, March 23, 1982. It's supporting his Tonight I'm Yours Album. Sound is incredible. I am a mess.

We listen to the last gig of Fleetwood Mac's Tusk tour. September 1, 1980 at the Hollywood Bowl. This Mike Millard master recording is very Lindsey Buckingham heavy. You can really hear how good a player he is. A great show.

We listen to tracks from Led Zeppelin in Landover, MD in May 1977. YouTuber Led Zeppelin Rarities created an AMAZING matrix compilation of the best of songs from all four nights of that run. The sound is incredible. This is almost official release quality, and the bass is ridiculous.

This is a great soundboard recording from July 28, 1969 at the legendary Boston Tea Party. A great set from an amazing band. Paul Rodgers sounds incredible and Paul Kossoff soars. Enjoy.

Dogs of Doom released another new source, and this time it's Nov. 7, 1969 at the Winterland. For the first time in more than 50 years we can hear the complete How Many More Times, and the never before heard encore, Bring It Home (the earliest recorded performance of that song). Amazing.

Wow. I can't believe it's been 100 Zepisodes. This extra long episode looks back on live performances that have stood out to me. There's lots of great stuff. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for listening!

We hear another Mike Millard master recording, this time it's Jefferson Starship in Long Beach on May 25, 1975. A great sounding recording of the newly minted Jefferson Starship. Classics like White Rabbit and Somebody to Love are played as well as the new songs like Ride the Tiger, etc. Great great sound.

We listen to a newly discovered 3rd source for the 2/27/72 Sydney concert of Led Zeppelin. For the first time ever we have Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, and Since I've Been Loving You from this momentous show. It's a good thing.

We listen to tracks from Feb. 27, 1981 at the Uptown Theater in Chicago. The Grateful Dead in the Gone To Heaven era playing a great set. We hear a matrix recording that is just exquisite. Alabama Getaway, Cassidy, and Sugar Magnolia are heard.

We listen to a new 1st gen reel transfer of July 25, 1969, of Led Zeppelin in West Allis Wisconsin, for the Midwest Rock Festival. This is a great audience recording from up close. Wonderful sound and a nice performance. Train, Dazed, and HMMT are played.

We listen to a smokin' show from Baker, Bruce and Moore (2/3 Cream) from June 5, 1994 at Brixton Academy. This band is a delight and the band sound fantastic. Lots of Cream songs.
