Led Zeppelin/Tokyo,Japan 10.3.1972 Complete

From Zeppelin’s second visit to Japan in 1972, the Budokan performance in Tokyo on October 3, the second day in Tokyo, is completely recorded from the original master with a high-quality audience recording of 128 minutes and 40 seconds, the first appearance. Only 13 seconds of the announcement by Mr. Goro Itoi, who is familiar with “Ladies and Gentleman, This is Led Zeppelin”, is recorded. There is a pause, but from then on, from 20 seconds before the start of Rock And Roll until the end of the concert, it is firmly recorded with stable audience recording. (The only missing part of the song due to the tape change is 9 seconds from 6:12 to 6:21 of Dazed And Confused, and that part is compensated for with the previously released “Majestic Rock”.) Rock And Roll starts at 10 seconds. The brightness increases, and it becomes even louder from the 38th second onwards. From there on, it is recorded at a certain high quality level, but at about the 3rd second of the beginning of Misty Mountain Hop, the microphone seems to be hidden, and it becomes quite quiet, but there is also a problem that it comes back around 1:15. Overall, the strengths of this sound source are the stability of the sound image, the length of the recording time, and the freshness of the sound. As you can see from the conversation after the Rock And Roll show, “I can’t see the guitar at all.” “I can see it from where I am, but.” As it was recorded from the stands (probably on the side), the sound was a little far away, and the sound was close. It’s not as good as the already released “Live At Budokan Oct 3 1972”, “Explosion”, “No Use Gneco”, and the aforementioned “Majestic Rock”, but if you listen to it, you’ll understand, but it’s quite easy to listen to. , the whole picture of the concert is captured with a sound that is very listenable and the tenacity of the sound is felt firmly. In the first place, in recent years, for the Zeppelin sound source world where the first sound source is rare, the appearance of a new source that is so long and well recorded with a single source can be said to be an incident. That said, this sound source should be enjoyed by enthusiasts who already own several sound sources from the same day as a comparison target, and is not a title that can be recommended to beginners, but it will probably exceed expectations for collectors. I think it’s the content. In fact, the sound quality is good enough to withstand repeated viewings, and once the sound image stabilizes, surprisingly good sound comes out of the speakers. What can I say, it’s a very delicate sound, and I think fans will like this kind of sound. From Whole Lotta Love to the 1st encore Immigrant Song, and from the end of Immigrant Song to The Ocean, each song is recorded without cuts. (I think the most impressive cheers were at the end of the Rock And Roll performance, when they said, “Cool!” and at 4:33, after Immigrant Song, when they said, “Hey, it’s an encore!” and at 6:02, when they said, “Let’s do it quickly.”) “Deserves” excellent first appearance sound source. I think it’s probably a title that won’t disappoint. Live at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan 3rd October 1972 TRULY AMAZING SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1 (54:28) 1. Opening Announcement 2.
