The Awesome Foursome Live At The Forum
The show begins with J.J. Jackson making the introduction before “Rock And Roll” and after “Sick Again,” Plant tells the audience that “we’ve been in California a little while, but let me tell you, this is the place….these are the last three gigs on our American tour and so we intend them to be somewhat of a very high point for us and that can’t be really achieved, obviously we really don’t achieve that without a little bit of vibe, which I can already feel, and a few smiles.”
Plant continues to sprinkle the show with his humorous comments like before “In My Time Of Dying” telling the audience that there are “a few developments in the camp and a few camps in the development. Bonzo decided not to have the sex change after-all, and ah, we got a new album out.” The first real high point occurs during the “No Quarter” marathon, the first one in the set. The grand piano and electric guitar improvisation had reached a hight by this time and these versions are among the best executed and recorded.
“Dazed And Confused” is “probably about the first thing that we had a go at, apart from the secretary.” It’s obvious Page is trying hard to expand the improvisation as the piece stretches past a half hour, but there are several rough spots and it comes off as rather sloppy, the worst of the three Forum shows. “Stairway To Heaven,” which is “for all our English friends who’ve arrived at the continental Riot House…. and this is for you people here who’ve made this a good gig.” The encores are the longest of the three with a full version of “The Crunge” before they play “Black Dog,” and this is the only one to have the rare second encore “Heartbreaker.”

ReplyDeleteYeah man!!!!! Its a full Soundboard!!!!! I couldnt believe it!!!!! I dont know why EV releases PARTS of a soundboard.... i mean i guess theyre trying to make more money. and i did like that release, but to be honest the Deep Throat Boxset of the the nights in LA are my favorite. Theyre damn near SBD themselves lol. Deep Throat is the best definitely... but i cant wait until they release the last two nights in SBD. especially the 27th with that 45 minute dazed.... i was blown away when they released Seattle 21st 1975 in SBD! it has since become one of my top favorite shows, as before that we only had a very shabby audience recording of that show..... But still a SBD of the 27th LA is going to be soooooo awesome....
Deleteto be honest tho, i really want a sbd of March 12th 75 Long Beach. and February 8th 75 Phili!
