Led Zeppelin/FL,USA 1969 & more

■A high quality recording of the Image Club concert in Miami on February 14, 1969. ■A CD of the unedited master provided by a major collector! ■A rare live performance from 1969 is included as a bonus track. In an interview, Paul McCartney said that he sings “Yesterday” and “Let It Be” to a once-in-a-lifetime audience when asked about playing the same songs over and over again. I can understand why fans who have been to Paul’s concerts for the first time would be disappointed if “Hey Jude” wasn’t played, not to mention the ardent fans who have been there many times. A concert must be something that satisfies everyone at the venue. There is a copy band that plays Zeppelin songs exactly like they do. I had the opportunity to talk to the members of that copy band several times, and they always said, “If we don’t play “Immigrant Songs,” “Rock and Roll,” and “Stairway to Heaven,” the audience won’t like it.” Maniacs want to hear “We’re Gonna Groove,” unreleased songs like “As Long As I Have You,” and songs like “Custard Pie” that the actual Zeppelin never performed on stage. It’s understandable, but if we take the most common denominator, we can’t leave out “immigrant songs,” “rock and roll,” and “Stairway to Heaven.” In 1969, when this album was recorded, the songs that would later come to mind when thinking of Zeppelin were not yet complete. The set list includes songs from the first and second albums, as well as unreleased or unfinished songs. However, it is packed with a very dense and elegant performance that is not found in later Zeppelin. This live performance at Image Club reminds us that the young Zeppelin of 1969 was an irreplaceable, short but shining moment for maniacs. Songs like “Immigrant Song,” “Rock and Roll,” and “Stairway to Heaven” are no longer just the destination of gigantic bands, but the true essence of Zeppelin can be seen in this era. The opening is a sharp contrast between stillness and movement, starting with the fiery “Train Kept A Rollin'” and then rushing into “Can’t Leave You.” “Gonna Leave You,” which has never been performed on stage since that year. “Killing Floor” is the working title of “Lemon Song,” and is filled with the energy of an era full of creative enthusiasm, and it seems to overflow. And compared to the standardized and showy stage of the latter half of their career, such as the long “As Long As I Have You,” they are performing on stage with a high degree of freedom and improvisation. The splendor of this performance surpasses that of other years, and simply being young is wonderful in itself, but the overwhelming performance unique to this era and time stands out even compared to other bands of the same era. This work records a live performance at the Image Club in Miami on February 14, 1969. As you can hear from the sample, it is a high-quality recording made at a very close distance, and it is recorded with such excellent quality that it is hard to believe it was recorded about half a century ago. In addition, the range is wider and the sound is more expansive than the previously released version, which shows that the master used in this work is from a generation closer to the original, with minimal deterioration during the tape dubbing process.
