MINT TOP COPY OF FAMOUS 1972 DOUBLE COLLECTORS ALBUM
L e d Z e p p e l i n
ALEXANDRA PALACE, LONDON, 1972
\ Australia - TOASTED - TSTD 191
MINT!
Located this one (1) copy of a Very rare limited edition ... long time no see DOUBLE (2xLP) album from nearing 30 years ago in striking color deluxe cover ... The contents features the famous "LZ" 1972 Alexandra Palace London Christmas performance...here is an accounting of the high energy showcase:
Plant's voice starts out a bit rough, causing him to alter the melody during the choruses of
Over the Hills and Far Away. Bonzo is introduced as "Tin Pan Alley's answer to Father Christmas" before Black Dog. Plant tells the crowd that the band hopes to achieve the same vibes they used to get in the small local clubs before Misty Mountain Hop. Jones jumps from electric piano to organ and back during a somewhat low-key Since I've Been Loving You. After expressing hopes that the show will be even better than the previous night's, Plant introduces Dancing Days as "a song about summertime and good things... and christmas cheer." Before Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Plant comments that he's "never seen so many drunk people in one town." Bonzo thrashes wildly at his drums during The Song Remains the Same, pounding out the urgent rhythm with great intensity. The beginning of The Rain Song is beautiful, but the tempo becomes a bit rushed during the heavy section. The San Francisco interlude during Dazed and Confused continues to develop prior to the bow solo. A somewhat lackluster Stairway to Heaven is introduced as "a song that came in a bright moment, I hope we have a few more bright moments like this"
Plant stops Page during the intro to ask the rowdy crowd to settle down.
Before Whole Lotta Love, Plant explains that Bonzo "doesn't do Moby Dick anymore... he's writin' a new one, it's called Titanic." Page , Jones, and Bonzo get into a bit of The Crunge prior to the theramin freakout. The transition to the Everybody Needs Somebody to Love section is a WILD explosion. The medley includes Boogie Chillen', Wanda Jackson's Let's Have a Party, Heartbreak Hotel, a disjointedly frantic I Can't Quit You Baby, and Goin' Down Slow, with Bonzo pounding out a thunderous rhythm. The band returns to the stage to close the show with Heartbreaker, which is dedicated to Roy Harper. Bonzo lays down a martial rhythm under Page's a cappella solo. The guitar solo section is a wild race to the finish, culminating in the earth-shaking finale. Plant wishes the crowd a merry christmas as the band makes their final exit of 1972.
