The Led Poisoning Show; Devastating version of DAC with Page and Bonham just feeding off one another. Bonham just keeps pushing Jimmy harder and harder. Jones is in usual great form but these recordings don't capture his sound very well. Plant is a little hoarse and plays at a different register. This was a very important time for Led Zeppelin but unfortunately this was not a largely publicized part of the 1973 tour. They were at their musical peak. I personally have never heard the Zeppelin machine working so tightly in all my years of listening. These string of European shows captures Page at his technical best. He is flying all over the guitar in a flurry of notes at lightning speed changing tempos while working off Jones and Bonham. Plant on the other hand is singing at lower register but does capture some magical moments. The reason why I say this is an important time for the band is because the band changed it's live structure after this. The American shows were played,i feel, at a slower more lumbering manner. Listen to Page coming in for the intro after the violen bow section. He keeps on ''calling'' to Bonzo but Bonzo won't budge. Finally Bonham comes in and the next 14 minutes is like nothing I've ever heard a live band (not to mention the biggest band in the world) do. After DAC, Plant sings "Happiness is a warm gun" obviously pleased with the lads. Great show.
