The sound on this recording is absolutely fabulous! This is all that remains from this show, which is actually most of the complete show. The playing is simply wonderful, with Jimmy's playing shining through as true musical inspiration, especially in his Heartbreaker solo. The whole band is playing better than ever, and the wild and long medley is exciting, especially with Robert's great vocals. This excellent atmosphere also caused of some nice commentaries from the side of Plant: "You should have come last night. Last night there were several bowler hatted beatniks ... This is quite a moving night for me. This is a thing that got together ... I was going to say in the Scottish Highlands, or the Welsh mountains, but I think it was something like the Gotham hotel, West 37th Street. Here's to the days when things were really nice and simple and everything was far out, all the time. On that theme, it's not a very good cup of tea you get over here! ..." |
