Comments: A warm-up show for the US tour and a very experimental and minimal set. This is the complete show, no marathons or improvisations, just the first live performances of the new Physical Graffiti songs. When The Levee Breaks is played live for the first time and sounds actually very good and interesting, and The Wanton Song rocks! The show has some good points, but is an average Zeppelin show that is enjoyable, but nowhere near the nirvana they would reach at the end of the forthcoming tour.

Comments: Jimmy's finger was broken, and although most of his playing is fine, there is a certain weariness that cannot be helped due to his finger. Robert's voice is severely damaged by the flu and as such, is raspy and creaking. When the Levee Breaks sounds really good live ... a shame it wasn't done more often live. No Quarter and Communication Breakdown are exceptional, and Sick Again is really good.

JANUARY 22 - CHICAGO STADIUM, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (WEDNESDAY)

Recording Includes: Rock And Roll [ 3:45 ] >> Sick Again [ 4:51 ], Over The Hills And Far Away [ 6:22 ], [ cut ], In My Time Of Dying [ 10:03 ], [ cut ], The Song Remains The Same [ 5:16 - cut ] >> The Rain Song [ 8:00 ], Kashmir [ 8:25 ], The Wanton Song [ 3:53 ], [ cut ], No Quarter [ 13:47 - cut ], Trampled Underfoot [ 6:55 ], Moby Dick [ 5:56 - cut ], How Many More Times (<< The Hunter..)

Source: Incomplete good to very good audience recording. 122 minutes.
Details: The tape is hissy and quite distant but clear, with all the instruments listenable. There is absolutely no distortion but recording lacking in bottom though.

Comments: From the opener of Rock And Roll through to In My Time Of Dying the band keep great pace and both Plant's vocals and Page's playing make noticeable improvement as the set moves along. But notice how clean Page's solos at this show are during songs like Sick Again and Over The Hills And Far Away. Compare this to the solos that he would be playing in March and May with so many of those erratic bends and rushed cues. Makes one wonder if having that injured finger forced him to concentrate more intently on what he was doing, in turn giving his solos a more precise effect. A great example of this is Page's performance in No Quarter, which also features great interaction from Jones and Bonham. On a funnier note, Plant dedicates Trampled Underfoot to Chuck Berry, who he mistakingly thinks was from Chicago. The version is excellent, with Page inserting a unique country/rockabilly riff into his solo, and Plant's vocals again holding up wonderfully. He even throws in a few extra "Push!"s after the song finishes. Perhaps the biggest draws in the show are the performances of The Wanton Song and the short-lived 1975 rendition of How Many More Times, both of which would soon be dropped from the set. Keeping with the quality of the gig, perhaps it's no surprise that these two renditions are the best versions of the tour.

[ 4:25 ].
Source: Incomplete fair to good audience recording. Almost 157 minutes.
Details: The sound is distant and muffled so we have to do with echoey recording. The audience noise is not noticeable but there is some hiss that can be annoying for some. An occasional distortion on some sections is also here.

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Ultraviolence (Holy)

Comments: A very good show except for Robert, whose voice is severely damaged by the flu. Jimmy's broken finger doesn't hamper his playing much at all and Jones and Bonham are as good as ever. The Wanton Song is very different from the record and sounds great. Kashmir is very powerful and heavy and sounds very much like the album version. No Quarter has no piano solo, Jones stays on the organ and it is quite good. How Many More Times, was the centerpiece instead of Dazed And Confused until Jimmy's finger healed and it sounds quite different in 1975. The bow solo is intact and it is pretty good. The encores have Robert's voice basically gone although he does manage a few good screams.

Source: Incomplete very good audience recording. 95 minutes.
Details: The sound for the most part is top heavy with some treble distortion but reasonable well balanced.

Bootleg LP Reference(s): Loose Ends (Supercharded Records)

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Condition Breakdown (Holy)

Comments: A good instrumental show, although Robert's voice is terrible ... low and raspy, he barely hits the notes octaves below their original pitch and his attempts at infusing it with soul are lackluster at best. Jimmy manages quite well with a broken finger although some passages are rough. The rhythm section is unstoppable as always. A mediocre show although great sound and the rare Wanton Song make it a nice document of early 1975.

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Footstomping Graffiti (no label) & A Quick Getaway (The Diagrams Of Led Zeppelin)

Comments: A very poor show overall ... quite possibly the worst Led Zeppelin concert ever! Jonesy and Bonham are fine but Jimmy's playing veers from as good as ever (with a broken finger no less!) to sloppy and completely out of key. Robert's voice is in the worst shape it has ever been in ... it is a strain for him to sustain notes in his middle range! How Many More Times is short and forgettable and although some songs are actually quite good, the overall effect of the flu and a broken finger result in a show that is better to listen to as a comparison against their most brilliant shows.

Bootleg LP Reference(s): Detroit - Just About Back (King Kong) & Plant Waves (Wizardo Records)

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Detroit - Just About Back (Cobra Standard Series CD-R), Tune Up (Immigrant), & Ultraviolence Attack (Badgeholders)

Comments: A very good show although clearly not a return to form. Robert's voice is still very rough and Jimmy's finger is still hindering his playing. It caused of Plant's joke: "The bone on his wedding ring finger is bust and that's a real drag because if he was to get married now, he couldn't get a ring on." The rhythm section is as strong as always ... they never have a bad show despite Page and Plant's problems. No Quarter is very good, though, and How Many More Times is not a bad version, and interesting considering they mix the Dazed And Confused sections in ... it hadn't been played for five years with the exception of Southampton January 22nd, 1973 show.

[ 1:06 ] >> Communication Breakdown (<< The Lemon Song..) [ 4:14 ].
Source: Almost complete good to very good audience recording. 151 minutes.
Details: The recorder is positioned possibly rather close to the stage because the sound is steady and clear. However, the tapers constantly talk, yell, scream, laugh and produce strange noises directly over the recorder during most of the songs.

Bootleg CD Reference(s): Heavy Metal Hullabaloo (The Diagrams Of Led Zeppelin)

Comments: The first tour show in New York and the first 1975 performance of Dazed And Confused, not played live since July 29th, 1973 at the same venue. This show is the first one from North America 1975 at which Dazed And Confused was performed. Page sounds great at this show, playing with confidence - albeit some caution here and there - considering his finger injury was only a few weeks previous; Sick Again, Over The Hills And Far Away, In My Time Of Dying, The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song each reveal speed of his healing. Songs are generally shorter or abbreviated compared to what they would be in the next month or so, though (Dazed And Confused has only 20 minutes, No Quarter only 14 and Whole Lotta Love barely 1 minute flat). And as the tapers are heard to remark about Robert Plant this is one of those 1975 shows where his vocal sound really doesn't rise above mediocre. If one can tune out Plant's rasp this is a really enjoyable concert, plenty of atmosphere.

Bootleg Visual Reference(s):

Comments: A mixed show. The band sounds great and Jimmy, even with his hurt finger, plays almost up to his peak. Robert's voice is ravaged by the flu and he is nonexistent on stage for the most part, singing his parts and that's it so as not to strain his voice. Great version of No Quarter played and perhaps one of the best ever Trampled Underfoot versions. Dazed And Confused is excellent and the solo section of Stairway To Heaven is gorgeous. The encores are blistering, although Robert is really suffering here. Jones and Bonham own this one, but Jimmy is nearly recovered. In opposite, Over The Hills And Far Away is plugged with Page's guitar problems - it leads packed up for awhile. John Bonham was announced as Karen Carpenter according to Playboy magazine, when Carpenter was placed as "Best Drummer". Quite funny.

Comments: A very good show, except for Robert' who's voice is still damaged by the flu, although he does manage to force some good screams. Jimmy's soloing is excellent throughout and the band delivers excellent versions of No Quarter and Trampled Underfoot. Dazed And Confused still sounds timid, as it hasn't been done much since the beginning of the tour. Kashmir is sheer power.

WARNING! Some sources reported that another tape of this show exist and may still be in the hands of a tape hoarder. Possibly whole show was recorded but a very big care must be taken with these reports.

Comments: Plant's voice has pretty much healed while Page's finger has definitely healed! The performance doesn't crawl like other 1975 shows, it runs! Trampled Underfoot is proof of this. Plant adds a few new lyrics to The Song Remains The Same and at the start of The Rain Song. Page enters late for the bow section in Dazed And Confused but ends the song with a new riff. Whole Lotta Love is an abbreviated version without the middle section. It goes straight into Black Dog with Plant singing most of its original lyrics. This show is also the one where rowdy audience made its appearance that caused Robert comments: "Can we advocate that people stay in their seats? It's not very pleasant to see situations like that right under your nose, so can we all keep cool!"

Comments: This could be very good show but the sound is so horrible that makes this recording for hardcores only. The bombastic renditions of Dazed And Confused and Moby Dick, when Bonham thrown a couple of rhythm exercises known from basic structure of Whole Lotta Love ... played later as an usual encore making this show worth listening!

Source: Almost complete excellent 1st audience recording. 176 minutes.
Details: This source will remain as one of the best sources ever recorded. The quality is comparable with soundboard at times but there is much better atmosphere. The only drawback with this tape is that the top end can be a bit painful on occasion.

Source: Incomplete very good to excellent 2nd audience recording. 172 minutes.
Details: This source has also great atmosphere. The audience is not talktative and noisy except for the tapers at times. I think this tape stands not too far away from the 1st source. Unfortunately, the bass is heavily distorted throughout.

Comments: A great show! It may have been a blizzard outside but the Garden was rocking this night! "We came four blocks in the snow to get here ... you realise that? People were calling me on the telephone today and saying 'Is it gonna be on?' For a minute I was wondering about my anatomy, then I realised there was some discrepancy about the weather. Isn't it good though that it snows? Doesn't it change the vibe of the city? I think it's great!" The band is in excellent form and delivers a great show. Robert sounds good and strong, Jonesy and Bonzo are amazing as always, and Jimmy is incendiary tonight, especially at the end of Sick Again. He extends the solo in Over The Hills And Far Away to an incredible length and soars. No Quarter is dedicated to Jones that "...made Monthy Python's Flying Circus a flop in New York" tonight and his imppecably clean fingernails. Moby Dick is like a hurricane and Dazed And Confused just blows everybody out to the cosmic level! A bunch of heavy solid encores with an excellent Heartbreaker with some lyrics of Elvis Presley's That's Alright Mama thrown in closing this amazing eveing. This is definitely a triumph for the entire band and, not only a strong concert but also probably the best from the 1975 US Tour. "Ladies and gentlemen of New York ... you're too much ... and we ain't so bad ourselves!" and the show was over.

Source: Incomplete very good 1st audience recording. 149 minutes.
Details: The tape is clear and all the instruments are discernable. Jones' bass does comes through a little heavy in places but not enough to distort the tape. There is some noticeable high frequency tape hiss at occasion. What worse, one channel drops-out in several places, making listentinf to some songs rather difficult.

Comments: A great show! The band is strong, Robert's voice is in fair shape and Jimmy is blazing, especially on a great and very long version of Dazed And Confused and an epic Stairway To Heaven solo. Roll Over Beethoven is only a short vocal rehearsal but one of the encores features Ronnie Wood on second guitar, dueling with Page as they trade licks in an extended jam that sounds killer when Jonesy and Bonham jam behind it.

Source: Incomplete good to very good 1st audience recording. Almost 187 minutes.
Details: The recording is clear and fairly close to the stage with very little audience disturbance and some rather short tape distortion in places. There is bass distortion throughout the set and is notably intense in the pieces where Jonesy plays bass pedals. The tape hiss is rather unnoticeable.

Details: The tape is quite distant and a bit echoey but all the instruments are rather very discernible. The only drawback is this source lacks depth the other source does have.

Comments: This is a magical show ... one of the best from 1975! The Valentine's Day reflected Plant to some special comments tonight about the Pagans: "Today is one of the last of the pagan traditions that is carried on into the 20th Century. It's the day for sowing the wild seeds. In fact, now they call it St. Valentine's Day ... so, happy St. Valentine's Day. I think we should dedicate this show to St. Valentine." Since I've Been Loving You is played for the first time out of three on this tour and the playing and energy of this show make it a real special concert. Plant: "Who knows what it's gonna sound like, but it's something we really used to dig playing." No Quarter is great and Dazed And Confused is beyond words. The encores are funky and long, and the rare second encore of Heartbreaker has a long blues interlude inserted in Jimmy's solo.

WARNING! Some sources reported that another tape of this show exist and may still be in the hands of a tape hoarder. Possibly whole show was recorded but a very big care must be taken with these reports.

Comments: The show itself is an excellent closing night for the first half of the tour. The band carries the momentum of their great closing show in Nassau. During his intro for The Song Remains The Same, Plant refers to Kansas City and that John Bonham was arrested there once! Before No Quarter John Paul Jones is finishing a gin and tonic before he can start playing and tonight's version is very strong, sounding very dark and foreboding. Dazed And Confused and Stairway To Heaven are both outstanding. The encores are the only let down in this performance.

Source: Almost complete excellent audience recording. 174 minutes.

Comments: A great show from 1975! The recording captures clearly the performance and is really atmospheric, making this a pleasure to listen to. The show itself is wonderful ... Robert is in good voice (something that doesn't happen often in 1975), and the band is amazing. Start to finish this show is great ... even the long Moby Dick is enjoyable. (Bonham was introduced as "the man with a bicycle clip caught in his sock ... the greatest percussionist since Big Ben!") No Quarter is a wonderful jam with some excellent piano from Jonesy and Kashmir is epic. Dazed And Confused is long and great, and the drumming, in particular, is immense. This is also the date on which Physical Graffiti was finally been released in the United States and Plant commented that fact: "The egg has been laid ... or is it the guy who got laid?"

Comments: This is a pretty good show but not tops although this is one of the best if not the best recording board as for the sound. It reaches the same peak level as the official releases! Robert's voice is in pretty bad shape, but the instrumental machine is playing fine. Jones and Bonham in particular are wonderful, with Bonham reaching a peak of playing in Sick Again and In My Time Of Dying that is staggering. Well presented mellotron has been introduced tonight: "John Paul Jones played mellotron, a very cheap form of orchestration ... and he doesn't cost that much to rent either!" No Quarter could be a fine version but is cut. Trampled Underfoot is outstanding and vocal lyrics near the end are awesome. Also the audience was rather dull so Plant was trying to inject the life to the crowd: "Why don't you wake up, c'mon!"

Comments: A much better show than the night before. Robert's ego is gone and the band turns in a much better, tighter performance. Trampled Underfoot is very heavy and a great version and Dazed And Confused is intense and very long. The Crunge is inserted in Whole Lotta Love and is very funky and fast and leads into a monstrous Black Dog. Robert's voice is very strong and solid and he performs some great vocal variations in In My Time Of Dying and Kashmir.

Comments: "We're really glad to be back in California!" ... This show kicks off the group's West Coast swing, which also comprises the final leg of 1975's North American tour. It's the beginning of what would turn out to be a great run of shows, including the Long Beach and LA concerts plus Vancouver, Seattle ... An excellent show in front of a wild crowd! Jimmy's playing is excellent and the improvisations in No Quarter and Trampled Underfoot are very good. Dazed And Confused is almost symphonic in its scope ... another excellent 1975 version! The interplay between the rhythm section and Page during the solo in Stairway To Heaven is breathtaking and the funky jam in Whole Lotta Love drives everyone into a frenzy before Black Dog.

Comments: Near soundboard sound here ... amazing! The playing and singing are great here, but in some spots the band seems a little slow ... this is probably due to the fact that this is one of the worst crowds ever! The audience is dull, bored and seems half-asleep. "We must apologise for the slight delay, be we couldn't get into the building and we hadn't got any tickets! It's a fact. We saw a well known scalper, but we blew it ... and it was bllown!" stated Plant after Sick Again. This show has some amazing playing but the crowd seems more interested in sleeping than the crushing music. This seems unbelievable, to be lucky enough to see Led Zeppelin and to react in this way. Robert slams the crowd for their reactions, but in reality, this show is great, but the next night is even greater. He's also dedicated The Song Remains The Same to the bootleggers: "For the benefit of anyone who was making a bootleg then - the 12-string was out of tune!" After the last encore Plant added spontaneously: "Ladies and gentlemen of Long Beach ... sleep well! Half a Quaalude with water."

There is a nice spectrum and recording itself is rather clear, also capturing the atmosphere in a good shape. The tape hiss, albeit available, is not annoying.

Comments: One of the best, most visceral shows of 1975! The sound is crisp and bassy and really adds to the show. The opening string of numbers is brutal and fast and this may be one of the best versions of No Quarter ever! It is savage and the improvisations are excellent. In My Time Of Dying was dedicated to Bob Dylan: "An old work song. A long time before Mr Zimmerman listened to it in the Village back in the Sixties." The reason why The Song Remains The Same was repeated is that Jimmy Page broke a string. Trampled Underfoot moves like nobody's business and Dazed And Confused, dedictaed tonight to Roy Harper (:Wherever you are Roy, don't stay in thatstate too long!"), is a glorious 1975 version in full flight. An exquisite Stairway To Heaven closes the show and the relentless and surprising inclusions in the encores end a show that seems leagues ahead of the sluggishness of just the night before!

Comments: A mixed performance. In some points the band reaching a peak of their playing, in other they are just average and rather sloopy. The hardest accent belongs to the opening numbers, after that the band seems to be a bit tired and that caused of lack of soarning during improvisation sections in No Quarter and Dazed And Confused.

Comments: A really superb show from the 1975 Tour. The sound is great and the playing is excellent. Robert is in decent voice and the band is on a roll! No Quarter and Dazed And Confused are some of the best versions ever, and he opening numbers are really powerful. The earlier shows on the tour like the New York shows were long, but the marathons were generally played at 1973 length (No Quarter never exceeding twenty minutes, Dazed never exceeding thirty). In the west coast shows Zeppelin expands the numbers to where a thirty minute No Quarter and a forty-minute Dazed And Confused are routine. More highlights include something happening onstage after Bonham's drum solo, which causes Plant to start singing lines from Max Bygraves' "You're A Pink Toothbrush". This song is nothing more than Plant singing what appears to be a commercial jingle. It has only 10 seconds but it's funny!

Comments: This is something like a prelude to the following evening's show. The playing is on top form and overall all the songs were performed with furiosity. Pagey is in decent form tonight, with especially fine playing on Sick Again, In My Time Of Dying and The Song Remains The Same; Plant is not in fine form, though, with his best vocals coming from the songs that demanded the least from him, such as No Quarter and Whole Lotta Love; Bonham does bring the bang, with awesome drumming on Over The Hills And Far Away, Kashmir and Trampled Underfoot. Ironically, it is Jones that makes this show awesome, with amazing bass playing and great keyboards from start to finish. Kashmir was dedicated to "...Richard Cole, our tour manager - a good upright British citizen" and Dazed And Confused to "...our manager, Peter Grant, who's made so many things possible. He's the man who gives us the blow job in the dressing room". Obviously the whole band had a great time during these two Vancouver shows.

Comments: A very heavy and overall, good performance. Plant apologise for the last concert they played in Vanvouver two years ago, and he said: "Last night it was quite a peculiar show actually. Something strange happened to me that evening. I found the light show to be amazing and I wondered what the name of the group was!" No Quarter is absolutely beautiful and Dazed And Confused rocks really hard and is led by Jimmy's amazing guitar prowess. Stairway To Heaven really lifts off during the guitar solo and the heavily improvised and dynamic encores close out this really heavy, powerful and exciting show, which in itself would prove to be nothing compared to the next night! Listen to the Whole Lotta Love encore for Lickin' Stick followed by the riffs from Ozone Baby, three years before it's recording! s on the previous night, the band members are in glorious humours and that caused of few very funny introductions. (Bonham was introduced as "a man who's a stinking rotten dirty pig!")

Comments: This show is one of the best from the 1975 tour. The entire show and length are impressive, but what makes this so memorable are the two epics. No Quarter is 30 minutes long and one of the best ever. But here, we have the second to last longest ever Dazed And Confused, clocking in at 45 minutes and it is the best one ever (the other one, clocks at 46, can be found on the last LA date, on March 27th). It moves through several sections and has many dynamic contrasts to keep it interesting throughout ... it doesn't seem like 45 minutes.

Bootleg Visual Reference(s) 2nd movie source:

Comments: The first of three nights at the Forum and the closing segment of the tour. A very good show overall, although a feeling of sloppiness is especially evident in Jimmy's playing. The great late J. J. Jackson had opened that evening: "Good evening! My name is J. J. Jackson of KWLOS. We're all here to welcome back to the LA area ... Led Zeppelin!" After a rather brilliant opening section, Dazed And Confused suffers from Jimmy playing badly out of time with the rhythm section during the improvisations, and he doesn't correct it either! This makes for a jerky and uneasy listening experience. The closer is excellent and although The Crunge jam in Whole Lotta Love is good and the most complete version ever performed, Jimmy is lost and it shows! Licking Stick follows and is driven by the rhythm section into the Theremin solo which, as always, starts Jones amazing bass and Bonham's splendid drumming. A very good version of Heartbreaker closes the show ("Children Of The Sun! Good night!"). Beside that, this is a glorious return to the LA and the band was on! Plant: "This is the place, this is the one. There are the last three gigs on our American tour and so we intend them to be something of a high point for us. Obviously, we don't achieve that without a little bit of a vibe, that I can already feel, and a few smiles."

Comments: A really great show. "Last night we had a really good time. We had a great concert. It was one of the finest we've had in California for a long time!" said Plant as the band climbed the stage. Robert is powerful and the band rocks! Bonham's drumming is awesome throughout, and it really makes an impact during the first few numbers when the band plows through them with minimum pauses in between. No Quarter and Dazed And Confused are two great versions with lots of great improvisation. The jazzy groove of No Quarter, in particular, is spectacular.Trampled Underfoot was dedicated to the groupies as well: "All the good ladies of America who've helped us get rid of the blues from time to time on the road...". Jimmy's solo in Stairway To Heaven is excellent.

Comments: The third and final night at the Forum and also the last show of the 1975 US Tour. A very good show, although Robert's voice alternates between sounding great and being really irritating. Linda Lovelace, a well-known Deep Throat star introduced the show. No Quarter is simply amazing, one of the best versions I have ever heard, and Dazed And Confused has some really great moments in the middle. It is also the longest version of this song, clocks at 46 minutes! This is the third out of three times Since I've Been Loving You was played in 1975. The guitar solo in Stairway To Heaven is amazing, and the Theremin section of Whole Lotta Love has some excellent bass and drum interplay while Robert screams.

Comments: A very good show but not tops and also few PA problems plagued the atmosphere. "We'd all like to welcome back to Britain ... Led Zeppelin!" DJ Bob Harris proudly introduced their triumphant come back. Robert's voice is simply awful in Rock And Roll and Jimmy's guitar goes on the fritz in Rock And Roll, but by Sick Again there is an obvious recovery. In My Time Of Dying (dedicated to Dennis Healey, the Chancellor Of The Exchequer, who was taxing large earnes heavily at the time that caused groups' emigration from the United Kingdom) and No Quarter are simply wonderful, and although this version of Dazed And Confused isn't the best, it is quite good with a particularly great violin bow solo from Jimmy. His solo in Stairway To Heaven makes up for any shortcomings previous to it.

Comments: The second night produces a much more relaxed and tight performance. No Quarter has to be one of the best versions ever and the acoustic section is incredibly intimate and effective. Jimmy's soloing, especially in the greatly expanded Over The Hills And Far Away, is staggering. The encores sound banal after the very good version of Dazed And Confused and the dramatic Stairway To Heaven.

(The Diagrams Of Led Zeppelin)

Comments: An excellent show ... "Good evening! Welcome to the show. Afer an absence of something like two years, I guess we're all ready for a little Physical Graffiti. Please welcome to Earl's Court ... Led Zeppelin! DJ David Jensen introduced the band in the great style Robert's voice is in strong shape (by 1975 standards) and the band rocks! "Last weekend we did a couple of warm-up gigs for these three. We believe these were the first three gigs to be sold out, so these must be the ones with the most energy stored up. You've been waiting!" Plant stated. Kashmir is thunderous and No Quarter contains some truly excellent improvisation from all three instrumentalists. The acoustic section is wonderful and Dazed And Confused and Stairway To Heaven are excellent version, though both will be bested the following night. The Whole Lotta Love encore has a really long jam leading into Black Dog, with the rhythm section cooking ferociously while Robert screams and ad-libs.

Comments: This is a monster of a show. The best of the five Earl's Court gigs, this show has the band reaching a peak for 1975, one that is even better than Seattle and LA two months earlier. Nicky Horne simply introduced the band: "Welcome to Earl's Court. For the next three hours ... your mother wouldn't like it!" No Quarter must be the best version ever recorded, and Dazed And Confused is an incredible journey. Dennis Healey was again remembered during the introduction to the Dazed: "We gotta fly soon. Y'know how it goes with Dennis ... dear Dennis. Private enterprise ... no artists in the country anymore ... he must be dazed and confusd!" Stairway To Heaven contains probably the best solo ever by Jimmy on the song while Plant's vocal is not the best. The humour was belonged to the whole group so Bonham took the microphone as they climbed for the encores and said: "I'd like to say at this point that I think football's a load of bollocks!" what caued a quick retord from Plant: "I'd like to say that soccer's a wonderful sport, the best sport."

Details: Tangerine is totally absent on this tape source. What's very interesting, both missing parts are available as a separate, alternate source, which have been calling also "old soundboard" source. (Tangerine has a cut at the end, missing few seconds only.) In fact, the sound is quite similar to the board tape but is much less clear and is very raw and also misses much of its high notes. Very possible it was sourced from an old and high gen tape of video soundtrack, which includes these parts of this show.

Comments: The final Earl's Court show, the final 1975 show, and the last ever performance of Dazed And Confused. The initial string of numbers are high powered and aggressive! No Quarter is a really great jam and the acoustic section is pretty good. Moby Dick and Dazed are rather boring however, which is sad and rather unfitting as it is the last ever performance of the latter. Stairway To Heaven was dedicated to Plant's daughter: "Carmen - this song's to a little girl who sits probably wondering what it all about ... so, where is the bridge? Well, Carmen, were's your chance to find out where the bridge is ... and if you know, please let me know after the show." The solo is wonderful and the encores contain a tortured Theremin solo from Jimmy before the extra songs are played for the last night's sake.
