This is from the concert of February 25th, 1972, in Auckland, New Zealand.
Jimmy inserted this classic riff from TSRTS into Dazed and Confused, right before the bow solo section. This was only played this way once.
The Song Remains the Same didn't make another live appearance until the full song was played on October 2nd, 1972.

The purpose of this project was to use recordings of the 1980 Tour Over Europe to create an accessible concert-length experience, in the style of the official concert albums like The Song Remains the Same, and How the West was Won. What makes this project particularly unique is that I combined the soundboard and audience recordings, using both perspectives to create a rich-sounding matrix for the entirety of the concert.
Rather than trying to select the overall best performances, I prioritized creating a complete, polished concert, without any awkward cuts mid-song, or anything that would detract from the listening experience. In searching for concerts to use for this, I settled on building off of the June 23rd and 24th concerts, due to both not only having full soundboards, but also two of the best audience recordings from the tour. I used the other two concerts to fill in the gaps where necessary. Once I knew I had everything covered, I then opted for the better performances of what was available.
Unfortunately, despite using the most complete recordings, there are a couple quirks in the soundboards, most notably gaps at the beginning of the Rain Song and Rock and Roll, and also some weird high-end fluctuations in Trampled Under Foot.
I think an interesting byproduct of this project is that it focuses on a part of the tour that isnt often listened to. Frankfurt and Zurich are two places that come to mind when thinking of the 1980 Tour Over Europe, and while those concerts are fantastic, I found it somewhat refreshing to use lesser-known concerts.
Id like to dedicate this project to everyone who bought Zeppelin tickets in late-summer 1980.
Special thanks to Ed from The Dogs of Doom for the tapes.

This is a two-source audience matrix of arguably one of the greatest ever performances of Kashmir. It uses source 1 as the main anchor source, occupying the center, and source 2 for the left and right sides of the stereo image.
It also utilizes AI audio separation, similar to the MAL de-mixing technology used in recent Beatles releases. Ive used it here to bolster the punch of the drums, and to bring Robert Plants vocals more to the forefront of the mix.
Living Reflections is perhaps my most experimental project to date. It is an LP-length live album featuring hand-picked selections from all across Led Zeppelins touring years. What makes this project unique is that all of these tracks are matrix mixes of ONLY audience recordings. There are no soundboard recordings featured in this project. This is a first for this channel.
Although the sound fidelity of this project is a step or two behind the usual, I consider this perhaps my proudest achievement to date. Its been slowly brewing since 2021, and its taken many forms and trajectories, and been subjected to years of tinkering, before settling into this finished product. I hope you enjoy.")

This 8 minute tape is only known bootleg documentation of the late-1975 Presence sessions. This is in stark contrast to albums like Physical Graffiti or LZ3, where there are hours of session tapes.
This video also compiles the three known images from a photoshoot the band did at some point in 1976.")

I did my best to make this pseudo-stereo, and to really maximize the quality. Compare it to the original upload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v wg-9fHYdwM
Hi guys! I have a few months to myself, so Im gonna try to post some high-quality stuff (some new, some not). That includes getting a definitive version of The Cutting Room Floor out there, which will be available for download. Ive held off on releasing it for download because I knew itd be a work-in-progress for a while. Im going to school partly for audio engineering, so now Im much more able to perfect this album, quality-wise. Before, it was largely just guesswork. Consider this a tease for things to come ;)")
