LED ZEPPELIN Trampled Underfoot (STAGE SOUND) Zurich June 29, 1980

I manipulated the live unreleased soundboard recording, bringing out a fuller, brutal energy that is the Led Zeppelin on-stage experience. BTW this is loud as KZbin permits so crank it up to satisfaction.... Lots of work and I loved putting it together. Hope you enjoy it! Images from Internet, enhanced by RBennett (amess0stuff).

[@bishlap]

LOVED Jimmy's tone for what was their last "tour".... Robert's voice was slammin'..... oh well.

[@amess0stuff89]

It's as if he switched his toggle switch to a more mid-range! As for Robert, incredible and I wonder if he were abstaining from a certain something... for a while? BTW I have a feeling Robert has been writing his autobiography. He has always says no, but he knows he is an amazing storyteller.

[@Michael-Philip]

I listened to this like 10 times the week

[@amess0stuff89]

Amazing, thanks so much! Yeah, I put on headphones to maybe hear a certain part and listen to the whole thing for the 1,000th time.

[@Rod-p3b]

And there is nothing that even comes close to them……..Sept.25, 1980 is a horrible day in history. Can you imagine what other great music these guys could’ve made together?

[@amess0stuff89]

@@Rod-p3b I wonder. Jimmy planned a harder edge rock album after the 1980 US tour but looking ahead I cannot imagine that tour going smoothly. Ha, I just wrote another paragraph then decided to blog it instead! I may as well be another "Rock stories doood" but my facts will be solid.

Wow, an ad right in the middle of the groove. How considerate.

Good version some of the 1980 tour are really good Bremen Berlin pages best

[@amess0stuff89]

Yes! He really gave it his all on the last gig. My only 2 questions in all this is what the US 1980 setlist was looking like? And there's something about "Walter's Walk" that sounds nothing like a 1972 session.

This is a real highlight of the 80’ tour. Other shows/ songs usually weren’t as amazing. Jimmy is still #1 guitar hero, at least here.

[@amess0stuff89]

I happened to notice this performance was a standout, as well as Black Dog from the same show. People knock this tour but after Knebworth but why continue with the same set? I still think USA 1980 would open with TSRTS because people would freak out at Trian Kept A Rollin.

[@TheJoshuamooney]

This sounds amazing! What’s this “stage sound” business? Not familiar with it. But this Zurich Trampled has never sounded better.

[@amess0stuff89]

What a fantastic comment, thank you! I call it the "stage sound" as if we are standing on the side of the stage. The rumble! It's inspired by an interview I read with Simon Kirke of FREE and Bad Company who recalled guesting on a Zep encore and could not believe how loud it was.

[@g4340]

I always wonder what the American Tour would have been like. Through the years Jimmy & Robert have said that the setlist would be much different than the Europe leg that they did. They mentioned a few songs that they were gonna drop and a few that would have been included. A shame. What was bothering Bonzo so much where he had to drink 40 shots of Vodka?

[@Twotontessie]

Guilt and paranoia at being an out of control thug maybe. Terror at going back on the road in the States and all that it would entail? Nobody knows. It doesn’t really add up. As with Bon Scott the official version may not hold up to scrutiny. A lot of heroin going around London. Maybe the guy that did the pathology report was told “you didn’t see anything but alcohol” by Grant.

[@kevinindublin]

​@@Twotontessie​​Oh STFU with your badly-expressed conspiracies, speculations & quarter-truths. As is well known to any Zepp follower Bonzo was a family man and really just wanted to get back to his family when touring, that's all there was to it

[@amess0stuff89]

@@Twotontessie The key is in a comment made by Peter, it's out there. but I'm not repeating it because it's a new can o' worms. Bonzo was not paranoid, terrified or guilty, just pissed off. My feeling is everyone in Zep aside from Jimmy figured "We made our money can we just stop touring the US?". As for Bon, it catches up! BTW I'm sure "You Shook Me All Night Long" was entirely written by Bon, simply it's the only clever lyric on Back In Black!

[@amess0stuff89]

He always drank 40 shots! A friend is good mates with one of the people who put John to bed that night. They told the friend "It was like every other night on tour, no difference".

Absolutely love this track, I think the version on How The West Was Won I believe it was taken from Earls Court 25th May 1975, is my favourite, Jimmy looks absolutely mezmerized.

[@amess0stuff89]

Thanks! Jimmy is so at ease - but focused - on the Earl's Court video but Bonham seems a bit too out of it and overcompensates endlessly. Hometown gig, he probably just wanted to get home!

[@mikehersh6192]

DVD

[@mikehersh6192]

[@64north20west]

This was near the end of touring, but they still could kill it. If they just chilled for a year or 2 and Jimmy and John sobered up, they would have dominated the 1980s as well.

[@amess0stuff89]

John was never going to sober up unless he knew he was home to stay. I think the 1980 American tour would have ended in disaster or at a few bad moods. Peter Grant was waning and with Richard Cole on the outs, it was the first time there would be no *hands on* security. Cole did a lot more than security, now that too was lost. The Vultures Are Circling Tour.

[@HardRockMaster7577]

Once John died, the creative force that was "Led Zeppelin" was no more. It took me awhile to realize that. But I believe it 100% now.

[@geschickt]

Great work & many thanks for putting this up! Didn't they unofficially/within the band dub this the "Cut the Waffle" tour? 'Cause this one clocks in pretty close to a lot of the '75 versions--not a complaint mind you--as I love the way Page starts his solo out, and those cool descending lines from 4:10-4:18...!...very "Achilles" like...most enjoyable!

[@amess0stuff89]

Very much appreciated, thanks! The Waffles (ha) were probably the longer solos (no OTTP for Bonzo, probably at his request).

Brandy & Coke !

[@amess0stuff89]

I spent the last 20 minutes looking for the early mix of TU which was (was) all over KZbin the past 15 years. Gone! It's Brandy and Coke without the over-compression. Robert's double tracked vocals more spread out and the overall mix is pretty damn vibrant! Look for "Physically Present" however NOT on lost.fm which is just annoying WIX ads. Also the Custard Pie early mix I prefer to the PG version. It's there. down one rabbit hole or another.

[@amess0stuff89]

OK . Just jumped on KZbin 12 hours later and what pops up but the "Zeppelin Bootlegs" channel with a boot titled "Brutal Artistry"! Best stuff is near the end. I had never heard Robert's clean take of The Wanton Song - and how the hell did a radio station have a copy? Stolen from Jimmy while in tour... The Jimmy&Bonzo Kashmir take purely hypnotic (and the frantic bass added by Jimmy).
