St. Louis Blues Empress Valley Supreme Disc 3CD Soundboard |
St. Louis Blues ( Empress Valley EVSD 316/317/318) 3 CDs Missouri Arena, St. Louis, MO, 16 February 1975 Set List::- Disc1 (55.04): Rock And Roll/ Sick Again/ Over The Hills And Far Away/ In My Time Of Dying/ The Song Remains The Same/ The Rain Song/ Kashmir Disc 2 (51.59): No Quarter/ Trampled Underfoot/ Moby Dick/ Disc 3 (67.47): Dazed And Confused/ Stairway To Heaven/ Whole Lotta Love/ Black Dog/ Heartbreaker (Inc, Shame, Shame, Shame) Empress Valley have a habit of pulling something special out of the hat, just at the time when you think they have nothing really exciting to offer. They have come up trumps again with this release, a virtually complete excellent soundboard recording from St. Louis, the last concert of the first leg of their 1975 US Tour. Plant's voice is still not fully recovered, but he gives as much as he can, and he is in good form with numerous witty comments throughout the concert. During his intro for The Song Remains The Same, Plant refers to Kansas City and that John Bonham was arrested there once! Before No Quarter John Paul Jones is finishing a gin and tonic before he can start playing. There is a good panned stereo during Moby Dick (which again has an amusing introduction by Robert Plant, and drum encouragement from Mr. Bonham). The previous three concerts (New York and the two at Uniondale) were all of a very high standard, and this concert continues the trend, no doubt that they were looking forward to a 2 week break immediately afterwards. The packaging is similar to Led Zeppelin's Flying Circus, a card gatefold with clear CD trays, inside a slipcase, some very nice photos have been used. However such is the power and speed of the Internet these days, I first heard this release by way of a free download off the Internet, and then subsequently got my 'hard copy' original. This is highly recommended and full marks to Empress Valley for releasing yet another completely new recording. --Thanks To Underground Uprising -- |
