Empress Valley has just released the long-awaited soundboard for Led Zeppelins January 18th, 1975 concert in Bloomington, Minnesota. This is also the first time that a live version of When the Levee Breaks has ever been featured in a soundboard release. This video is a matrix of the soundboard, and the recently-surfaced audience tape from the same concert.")

This video features the brand-new Empress Valley soundboard, as well as (almost) the rest of the concert, which I have filled in using the older soundboard. Its about a 50/50 split between each source. It has all been remastered to the best of my ability.

Heres the deal with this new soundboard..
Its only half the concert, running at about 90 minutes, out of the ~180 of the full Osaka concert. That kinda suggests a part 2 is on the way from Empress Valley, but thatd probably be a while to wait, given EVs timeliness habits.
I decided to remaster the old soundboard of the remaining parts of the concert, and fill the pieces in, being faithful to the original concert setlist.
Accounting for the obligatory Stairway removal, but barring any other copyright removals, itll be a 2 hour 40 minute-ish upload.")
