Led Zeppelin/TX,USA 1969 Audience Source3

ZEP 1969 Texas pop, which is a classic among live recordings. I think there are a lot of enthusiasts who have listened to it like Blueberry Hill and Eddie. A new audience recording of this day appeared on the internet last week. Until now, there were two types of audience recordings for Texas pop, excluding the audio of the video. In the past, there was a misunderstanding that a different generation of the same sound source was a third source, but this time it is a genuine new source, so to speak, “recorder 3”. Among the audience sources that had already been discovered, one had good sound quality and was useful as a supplement for long songs that were missing on the sound board, but this time the sound source was not of such high quality. Both are monaural at a sufficiently good level for the 1969 audience. It’s a little ironic that only on days when there is an absolute sound board, there are multiple audiences and the sound quality is good (bitter smile). However, there is no doubt that the recording condition is actually easy to listen to, and the sound images of the two front speakers are particularly effective. The fact that the existing audience recordings of this day were generally easy to listen to is proof that the acoustics of Texas pop were excellent. However, this time the recording started with “I Can’t Quit You Baby” and was incomplete with the opening “The Train Kept A Rollin'”. Furthermore, cuts occur frequently in “Dazed And Confused”, which is a long performance, and it is undeniable that it is for mania. Other than these problems, the basic sound quality is excellent and you can fully enjoy it as a new diff source. Of course, it can also be enjoyed from the perspective of a document unique to audience recording. In the previous “Dazed And Confused”, it is interesting not only the length of the performance, but also the taper where Jimmy loses interest and starts talking as soon as he starts using the violin bow. There, he checks on the Texas Pop performers and even starts chatting with the audience around him. It can be said that this is a scene typical of an American festival. However, when it came to “How Many More Times,” which was the same long performance but had a singing part, the recorder was listening intently as if it were a lie, and could hear the overwhelming screams that Robert was emitting at the time and the freely changing medley song. You can see that he was fascinated by the development. Rather, it is unique to audience recording that conveys the excitement of singing various songs. This also applies to Autumn Winterland, for which a different source was discovered and the complete recording of “How Many~” was realized this time, but for the same song from 1969, the medley that Robert brought out was completely different depending on the day. And it’s really interesting because it escalates. However, this time’s “Recorder 3” has a major flaw that the ending of the same song and the finale “Communication Breakdown” have frequent curly cuts, but the audience was still very excited and it was a good listen. sufficient. Of course, it is still a sound source for enthusiasts, but it is a new source that can be fully enjoyed as “Another Side of Texas Pop”.
