Yeah, this is an interesting proto version. All the parts aren't worked out and separated yet, but most of the song is there (Rover). Robert has most of the lyrics, but it's not edited. Pretty cool. Phys Graff got released in '75, but the songs were recorded over the previous few years, bit by bit.

[@christopherprim1973]

It's a soundcheck, so I was probably wrong about The Rover. Nightflight's in pieces, too. They're just making sure the setup is good. Also the title says 'aka Minneapolis '75'. People really didn't know where bootlegs and snippets came from.

[@billhale2713]

Absolutely none of this is from before 1975. Not sure where the source is really from. Is it really Minneapolis? Chicago, too? I s’pose it can be, yes. But after ‘71, the multiple consecutive nights at one venue - sometimes 6 in one week with only a day off afterwards before doing the next 5-nights-in-a-row venue - wore down the strength of these youngsters. Jim seemed less happy to play grace notes and 128th notes quite as often and Robert’s voice was so overworked that by mid ‘72, he wisely stopped flexing his throat muscles so hard, maybe to compensate for no rest. As early as late ‘72, he was off and on as to choosing if he’d hit high notes on a given night. The SRTS film shows typical ‘73 moderation. For example, avoiding high notes on Rock and Roll like he’d hit on the studio cut. Yet as late as the O2, he DID hit the studio high notes by wisely waiting till his voice warmed up in the show’s last hour. They still have ability. But are less zealous to kill themselves, thank God. The recordings in this upload show not only mucho moderation such as was exercised only from ‘75-‘80, but the reverb on Roberts mic, as is heard in this audio upload, actually didn’t begin till 1975. I’ve bought almost as many Zep bootlegs as Jason Bonham. Well, at one point that was so. Now he’s got way more coz he has everything. Hard for lowly me to keep up these days. But bootleggers don’t always know what they’ve got unless they record it themselves. I bought inaccurately labeled Zep quite a lot in the ‘80s. So I blame no one coz there’s no way to know everything even if we were there live. I’ve bootlegged Robert’s solo tours when critics complained he couldn’t reach notes. But lo and behold, I’ve got stereo tapes from the Manic Nirvana tour where Robert hits highs on Immigrant Song equal to the LZIII studio LP during certain (‘88?) encore sets. •• Obviously, I’m fully aware much of Physical Graffiti was compiled from much earlier sessions, well prior to ‘75. Boogie With Stu is early Zep, in fact. The two songs in this upload were written closer to ‘71 or ‘72, perhaps. I’ve got bootlegs containing reference tape copies of the sessions where they’re in the writing phase, which many of us have seen on KZbin these days. I paid good money to get them in 1986. But of course these soundchecks are another story. Admittedly, I’m going by no documented proof. Merely by inductive comparison. •• And of course, it matters not when these great recordings were done. They’re beautiful. And thanks to this contributing account for supplying them! Full disclosure: I do not have a copy of this audio. I’m just lost in the joy.

[@coldacre]

this is from Chicago Stadium 6th July 1973. not only is pretty much exactly where Robert was at circa ‘73… but Page’s tone is bang on for ‘73. he had a much less distorted tone in ‘75 with the change to KT88’s in his Marshall

[@billhale2713]

@@coldacre I’ve heard much about tubes affecting tone, but frankly I’ve heard guitarists suggest that tubes affecting tone is a subjective idea with little way to measure it other than “feel” just short of using fancy expensive equipment I know zip about. Some guitarists have said ya get a bit more compression with volume yet some tubes offer similar tone to another yet not equal volume so comparison isn’t something I’m comfy considering for inductive contrasts mainly due to my own incompetence. I take solace in your own confidence, though. I’m hearing persons using that July date with their uploads usually saying the date isn’t confirmed, so I think there’s more research needed to be conclusive. I’m doing like anyone else, being conclusive-in-my-own-bad-mind. That reverb just doesn’t lie, in my thinking. •• But alas, now I’m even more perplexed after searching for more uploads of this occasion, presuming all the tracks are the same date : apparently there are many rehearsal songs compiled on an album which are all part of this same “sound check” (I’m trying to rule out “reference tape”, but let’s call it sound check). One uploaded source says the character of the sound check doesn’t match the actual form or sound of the subsequent concert that evening. Which I don’t recall coz do I even have that show? I’m not remembering. I’m betting I don’t. I got Chicago boots from zep but not ‘73, most likely. Now I gotta go listen to that show and compare. Plus, I raided Jason Bonham’s DMs begging him to tell me if this could be ‘73. I’ve seen other people commenting on these songs on other KZbin accounts with the same stuff and more uploaded, a few agree it’s post-‘75 (which doesn’t make me correct). Jason knows the boots. But he’s been off social media for a few days. Thanks for your suggestion. It’s a valid thought. Maybe you’re right. I’m just more confused now since I noticed the other songs from the compilation I heard doesn’t have the same full mic reverb that Night Flight has. It made me think, “Could a cracking voice be caused by nothing more than it being earlier in the day than normal? During sound check hours?” The human voice can sing an octave higher before bedtime than when that person wakes up in the morning. One may sing a few half tones lower after sleep, yet one loses a lot of their high range. •• Summary : I’m totally lost.

[@flamecolumn]

I know that this is just a soundcheck. I know Zep was pretty loose live. Page and Bonham could both be sloppy. But damn. This is awful.

[@sid7088]

I love them but let's face it, they did their best work in the studio.

[@flamecolumn]

@@sid7088 I 100% agree. There’s no comparison between their studio and live material. But when I say that I get furious pushback from fans who say I just don’t understand what Zep was trying to do live or some other BS. I’m like dude I love Zeppelin and for crying out loud I used to play in a Zeppelin cover band!

[@airgunfun4248]

Yep I say it and they cry about it fanboys who are tone deaf

[@TrentHutchesonTNasty]

Not awful man haven't you ever been in the rehearsal just start stopping working up a number that's what these dudes are doing and is cool

[@flamecolumn]

@@TrentHutchesonTNasty I guess but this isn’t a rehearsal.

[@PanchoMostaza]

Page no era un virtuoso de la guitarra, menos en vivo!

[@markanthonyrenteria4051]

Stop it!!! 💥💯🤣

[@victorgonzalezdomeisen4775]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@PanchoMostaza]

Virtuosos de la guitarra: Allan Holdsworth, Frank Gambale, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Greg Howe, Johnny Hiland, Jeff Beck, etc. etc. etc. etc.

He was sloppy. Too many drugs.

@@PanchoMostaza page tiene más seguidores por kilómetros dentro de los musicos famosos,todos los grandes lo señalan como el que más les gusta por inventiva, improvisación,y también por un arco iris de melodías inagotable que no permite etiquetar o definir su música. El virtuosismo de page es encantar a su audiencia a tal punto que para su último show en 2007 postularon más de 20 millones de personas (y la página se cayó)para poder comprar entradas.virtuoso o no su música siempre es fresca y traspasa generaciones,por eso es el más grande y querido de todos. Los otros serán virtuosos pero su música no lo es.

All they do is copy Greta Van Fleet

[@nachtfluegel1]

...and some Kingdom Come and Whitesnake stuff😅

[@Shannonrenees]

Oh we have some trolls, don’t we. I know I’m suppose to ignore you troll people but I like to have fun to. ZEPPELIN ROCKS AND RULES !!!!!!!!!!!! Know it love it and live it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@peytonlucy5947]

Horrific. Typical Plant with strained voice, and it's hard to imagine Page sounding so bad on The Rover.

[@Shannonrenees]

Are you kidding me. If you know anything about zeppelin then You’ll know that the on’s over ride the off’s. Zeppelin rocks and rules always !!!

[@rodjohnson3045]

Loose but sloppy. Page's sticky fingers in full effect here.

[@realgone222]

People give Ozzy crap about his voice after 75', this Plant performance is awful.

[@user-gu7kk5zk2b]

Page took a lot of drugs and sometimes he was too wasted to be on his game

[@cjo2012]

"There...see? Just there. That bloke from service keeps starin' at me bum"....

[@terrymoran8383]
