Melancholy Danish Pageboys Get It On (Empress Valley Supreme Disc)
The first gig after a two-year absence, interesting setlist and a completely new sound. Plant is a little hoarse but good nonetheless, and Page plays very good for most of the time. As the band takes the stage, Robert complains about the delay, and after a long pause, we can hear a very intense The Song Remains The Same that surprisingly segues into Celebration Day, played here for the first time in six years. Jimmy botched his solo in a long-abandoned Misty Mountain Hop. This and Since I've Been Loving You are now performed as two separate songs, without losing their potential, though. No Quarter has been stripped down to the basics, replacing the overly indulgent marathons of the past. The premiere of Hot Dog from the yet unreleased In Through The Out Door album sounds fresh, but also marks a completely new direction in which the entire band was to follow. The beautiful The Rain Song can be heard for the first time in four years, but it sounds a little less dreamy as a standalone piece. A shortened White Summer and its medley turns to a powerful Kashmir, and Robert hints at Willie Dixon's Back Door Man just before as everyone launches into a really great version of Achilles Last Stand, played at a more relaxed tempo than usual. The second premiere of the upcoming studio release is the epic In The Evening, preceded by a short violin bow and drum solos. Plant delivers a powerful showcase, screaming each line with bravado, and the entire band is enjoying the new material. Stairway To Heaven is a set closer once again, and a single encore of raucous Rock And Roll closes this energetic show.

In many spots, this show is a real treasure, as it has Page playing incredibly well. The Song Remains The Same is kept in a frantic form, as it burst on the stage with a dramatic segue into the fanfare that is Celebration Day. Nobody's Fault But Mine features a blistering guitar solo from Jimmy, and Misty Mountain Hop finds him hitting the guitar solo correctly. Plant sings here through a harmonizer, which is probably meant to duplicate the doubled vocals of the studio recording. Since I've Been Loving You is delivered with lots of emotions, and No Quarter is dynamic and features some pretty sounding workouts from Page. Afterwards, they get ready to play Ten Years Gone for the first time in two years. This complicated song is played without a hitch, retaining its pristine beauty, and is one of the best renditions ever. The meandering White Summer is again shorter but extremely polished, and Kashmir is very powerful, where Robert delivers a strong performance. A very expressive Trampled Underfoot includes an outstanding guitar solo, and is followed by the return of Sick Again that is a bit rushed. A brutal version of Achilles Last Stand is a highlight of the evening. The walls of the theatre quake under the power of Bonham's thunderous pounding as Jimmy tears through the frenzied guitar solos. The effective and modern In The Evening is again preceded by the compact guitar and drum solos, and Page blazes through a very fast and good solo during Stairway To Heaven. The encore is a radically re-arranged Whole Lotta Love, which sounds very aggressive and includes Muddy Water's You Need Love reference. A must-listen!

This is a pretty good performance, but nothing compared to the standards Zeppelin had set in the past. They are nervous to be acting for their home crowd, and this is evident as The Song Remains The Same gets underway. Page plays some sticky-fingered guitar solos, and Plant sounds kinda rusty at times. Following Celebration Day, he greets the massive crowd,
It's nice to see you again. I told Pagey that one or two people would be here, but he said he doubted it very much.
The punkish Black Dog yet again features Jimmy struggling with his guitar solos. With Misty Mountain Hop, the whole band progresses much, and Since I've Been Loving You has Page tearing each note with such intensity and emotion right from the depths of his soul. The eighteen-minute No Quarter is another gem, reminding versions from the previous tours. Jones plays a tasteful solo on the electric piano, and Page blazes through an excellent guitar solo, shredding furiously during the blistering outro jam. Ten Years Gone is also tight, and this is also the last time they play it live. Hot Dog from the yet still unreleased new album sounds fresh, and a monumental Kashmir adds expected impact. Jimmy shreds wildly through the guitar solo during a vital Trampled Underfoot, and this is followed by a brutal Sick Again, after which a visceral version of Achilles Last Stand is about to begin. The all four members are extremely confident here, especially Bonham, who trashes wildly at his drum kit throughout the whole song. The British premiere of In The Evening has its rough patches, but overall this is a great rendition. The first encore is a thunderous Rock And Roll, and as the band returns to the stage for the second, Robert leads the crowd in a sing-along of Rodgers and Hammerstein musical tune, You'll Never Walk Alone. The new arrangement of Whole Lotta Love is devastatingly heavy, and because of a huge ovation, they decide to close the show with the third encore, a crushing Heartbreaker.

Knebworth 1979 Second Day (Wendy Records)
The second festival appearance, but also moments of inconsistency and lack of inspiration. The Song Remains The Same explodes with gusto, though. This is also one of the most powerful vocal performances from Plant in latter years, as it can be heard during a bone-crushing Black Dog. Page in particular sounds distracted during the solo during Over The Hills And Far Away and stumbles into the second half, as he broke a string. On the other hand, Since I've Been Loving You is truly exquisite, where Jimmy plays with fluency and precision. Jones shines with his jazzy piano solo during the final performance of No Quarter. Page also tears through an amazing guitar solo, but this version is a bit less thrilling than a week earlier. The Rain Song is strong and picks up Jonesy playing some pretty and unique bass-lines. White Summer is yet again more compact before another powerful rendition of Kashmir. The erratic mood starts to escalate during Trampled Underfoot, where Jimmy stumbles through a sticky-fingered guitar solo. Sick Again is better, but with epic Achilles Last Stand the playing becomes kinda sloppy, as Page gets lost near the end of the song. The innovative sounding In The Evening marks the return to a good form once again, but Stairway To Heaven lacks the intensity, and it is obvious that the whole band is tired. They finish the show with three encores with an energetic Rock And Roll, a bit extended Whole Lotta Love that features John Lee Hooker's Boogie Chillun interference not played since many years, and a hurried Communication Breakdown.
