2nd source, taped by Matthias Messmer (Sony Mics>R2R UHER Report>Master) (runs a bit fast)

Karstadt C-90 & Agfa C 90 & BASF 60 (taped by Werner W. aka Bubif). The taper used a new Karstadt C-90 tape for the first 90 minutes of the show, then re-used 2 old tapes for the remaining 50 minutes of the show.

1st source, cannot be sure if master really exists but for almost sure it is no available (same Length as 4th gen)

3rd source (master reel>1st gen cassette>2nd gen cassette (XL-II and TDK SA))

not sure if this is master

1st source (available as a 1st gen (clocks at 94:44) and as a 1st gen TDK SA90 cassette copied in 1977-79 (clocks at 92:43))

2nd source (taped by Enno Jansen, recorded from the floor, approx. 30 feet in a front of the stage), external mono mic>SABA cassette recorded>BASF C-120 master cassette>Uher reel. The recorder ate the BASF C-120 master tape so the middle part of the concert is absent. The master cassette was transferred to an Uher reel tape in spring 1973 and has then been tossed away.

1st source, supposed to be 2nd gen or lower, (TDK cassette)

2nd source (H. Bahro's mono open master reel), another copy described as master has 137 Length

at least two versions exists of which one contains only Whole Lotta Love and Heartbreaker

Mono Mic>Sony TC110A>Memorex master cassette

runs a touch fast, correct speed is 162 mins.

The Rain Song has a cut and has music from another band briefly. After this the sound quality goes down for some reason. Not a lot but it does - maybe he switched to a low quality tape.

Lloyds Ext Mics>Lloyds 8 Track>master>1st gen VHS

master>2nd gen cassette (some minor tape issues in some points)

runs a bit fast, correct speed is 100 mins.

1st source, unknown directional stereo mics>Sony TC-126>master (taped by Dave Departee). Original tapes have survived but one side has been wiped and that caused Stairway To Heaven is missing and Whole Lotta Love is incomplete. The master debuts with Heartbreaker while vinyl has some parts missing. Vinyl varies with speed through pressings also.

2nd source, Sony ECM-22P mic>Tandberg Model 11 R2R deck>Master Reel @ full track mono 7.5 ips (taped by Stan Gutowski)

2nd source (master>1st gen VHS tape)

2nd source, hasn't cut in The Ocean

Very likely there are two different versions available: the first version includes ca. 1:30 mins. more before the show and Plant’s comments between The Rain Song and Dazed And Confused while the other version missing these segments. Also the first version is a bit more hissy.

time depends on from which version 1st gen is dubbed

Taped by Lawrence Russell, ext figure 8 mic>SONY TC-126>TDK C90KR Chrome master cassette x2 (master have been lost and the taper transferred the cassettes to open reel). He also recorded Vancouver March 20th, 1975 show.

1st source, taped by Herb Staehr, who also recorded Baltimore June 11th 1972 show (Sony TC-110 w/ext condenser mics>Sony TC-110>Capitol C-60 master cassette x2)

2nd source, called Joe Maloney source (RCA mics from the RCA YLS 15B portable reel to reel recorder>Hitachi 290>master cassette)

2nd source. This source is actually the same as the Maloney's source but for several years it was attributed to the new, 3rd source. The intro on this copy is longer than on the new version that was available from the download.

2nd source (a clone of above)

SONY mics>Sony C-120 & Sony UXC-60 master cassette>Nakamichi cass recorder (taped by Forrest R. Le Doux)

Taped by Randy Faulkner on Phillips Rec w/condenser mic>TDK master cassxette x2 (runs a tiny bit slow). The taper keeps the recorder on for a long time after the show that's why it is so long.

better than master (the master copy has quite an amount of distortion on the right channel, which is probably due to the deterioration of the master or microphone damage)

1st source, seems to be more complete

2nd source, runs a bit slow

3rd source, supposed to be 3rd gen (runs slow a bit and then goes faster as the recording runs with last song)
