The Heart of Markness Led Zeppelin Podcast

We hear from Page/Plant's legendary 1996 tour of Japan with Feb 13, 1996 in Tokyo. I play Tea For One (amazing), Custard Pie, and Whole Lotta Love (with medleys) from a glorious matrix recording by Liriodendron. Sublime performance.

We hear a great show from Traffic on their Low Sparks tour on Oct. 9, 1971 in Chicago. The rhythm section is hothothot and Steve Winwood/Jim Capaldi sound fine. I play Light or Leave Me, Low Spark, and Dear Mr. Fantasy. Fine show from a fine band.

We hear more from 6/28/72 & Led Zeppelin in Tucscon. I play Over The Hills and Dazed & Confused. Dazed is amazing with snippets of Walter's Walk and The Crunge, as well as insane playing by all. Awesome.

June 1972 was a great month for Led Zeppelin. We listen to the final show of their 1972 US Tour, 6/28/72 Tucson AZ. We hear an impassioned Since I've Been Loving You, and a bombastic fantastic 30 minute Whole Lotta Love, with a whole lotta medleys. Amazing.

This is a great performance by Derek & The Dominos in Cinci Ohio 11/26/70. Eric Clapton plays brilliantly on Got To Get Better In A Little While before jamming with BB King on Everyday I Have The Blues. Amazing show.

We hear the entire set from Them Crooked Vultures from Sept. 27, 2022 in Los Angeles, for the Taylor Hawkins Memorial show. A nice tight three song set with an Elton John song, a TCV song, and a QOTSA song. Good stuff from a great band.

We listen to a beautiful Liriodendron remaster of Led Zeppelin on March 3, 1975 in Ft. Worth Texas. The sound is incredible as we hear No Quarter, Stairway, and a funky Whole Lotta Love. The funk is real. A great sounding soundboard.

We listen to Feb 14, 1969 Thee Image Club, Miami (Led Zeppelin of course) and it is smokin'! This is the end of their first US tour and they've already made a name for themselves. Wild. Manic. Unchained. Hungry Young Zeppelin. Awesome.

We hear a great P/P show from 9/12/98 Mt View, Cali. Both Robert and Jimmy are in top form w/ a smoking How Many More Times (w/ As Long As I Have You), Whole Lotta Love, and a fiery Walking Into Clarksdale. Great recording too.

We hear the new 5/4/71 Odense, DK recording and awesome live versions of Four Sticks, Gallows Pole, and a medley laden Whole Lotta Love. Robert's voice is unreal. UNREAL. Great show.

Part 2 of the beautiful Mike Millard Master recording of Led Zeppelin 6/25/77 @ LA Forum. We hear the acoustic set (minus BoE) and Kashmir. We also discuss some of the drama going on in the community. Amazing recording and show!

We the amazing Mike Millard master of Led Zeppelin at the LA Forum on 6/25/77, lovingly remastered by DADGAD. In My Time of Dying, SIBLY, and No Quarter are heard, and they're all exceptional. AS IS THE SOUND. Jimmy is on point in this show.

We hear a NEW SOURCE for 8/21/71 and it sounds way better. Only the first 4 songs were taped before getting caught, but we hear 'em. Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, SIBLY, & Black Dog all better than before. Super cool.

We hear a nice soundboard from Led Zeppelin playing the Summit in Houston 5/21/77. Bonzo is in overdrive and the show is fun. We hear Nobody's Fault, No Quarter (a nice one), and an awesome Trampled Underfoot played as an encore. Power, Mystery, etc are all on hand.

July 26 , 1995 Wembley Arena. Page/Plant on their triumphant reunion tour. Great stuff. We hear Wanton Song, a stellar In the Evening (enhanced by 2 orchestras and a middle eastern percussion section), and a rollicking epic Kashmir. A great show from a time. Nice recording as well.

This is the live debut of the expanded Talking Heads, with Adrian Belew et al, at the Heatwave festival August 23, 1980 in Ontario. We hear Once In A Lifetime, Life After Wartime, and Psycho Killer on a nice recording. Great set.
