Free Music Notes for BBC Sessions
Free Music Review: Great live zeppelin album
Hit: 5 Stars
This is another must-have for anyone who can't hear enough live Led Zeppelin.
This album seems a little less polished than the other live recordings; the tracks
are older and there are multiple versions of some of the classics. There is nothing
on this I don't enjoy listening to.
Free Music Review: Overdubs...
Hit: 4 Stars
I absolutely love early Led Zeppelin, especially with regards to their live material when it still reflected their blues influence. This recording makes very good use of space while documenting an important transitional time in their career, ie You Shook Me through Stairway to Heaven. My most favorite part of the album is John Paul Jone's contributions. His organ and bass work really carry the band. He was extremely underrated for his ability. My biggest gripe about this disc is something that stands out sooo much, but isn't discussed, which is overdubbing. While Traveling Riverside Blues is excellent and many here agree, it has many overdubs over the open slide part, ie. solo at the end. Other tracks have them as well, but not as overbearing as "On Stage" by Chuck Berry, "Got Live if you Want it" by The Stones or "Skull and Roses" by the Grateful Dead. Overall, its a great album, but just be aware that even the best have to add a little extra to spice it up.Free Music Review: Best version of Led Zeppelin 2 Ever!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Led Zeppelin's second album was my "gateway Zeppelin" experience. That is what I like most about this studio/live recording.
While I have always loved the songs and sounds of II, the production values were HORRIBLE! It has a muddy, bottom heavy sound that never did the songs justice. On this BBC live in the studio double disc, the best of II are there with a dynamic, bright and inspired (LIVE) sound.
The original Led Zeppelin II can only be enjoyed at 1 or 2 o clock on the volume. This BBC studio set sounds great at 10 or 11 o clock!
Stop reading these reviews and BUY THIS DOUBLE CD!
Free Music Review: Squeeze that Lemon
Hit: 5 Stars
My wife got this for me for Valentines. Not knowing anything about this collection I thought it was just going to be a rehash of songs I already had. From the minute I popped it in though I realized that the versions presented here (in fact duplicate but unique versions of some songs) really highlight what a great band Led Zeppelin was, as their songs could morph at any moment into something totally unexpected, yet still pound with the energy that they are known for. I'm going to enjoy listening to this one as it brings a new freshness to these songs, even though they were recorded almost 30 years ago.Free Music Review: Led Zeppelin-BBC Sessions
Hit: 3 Stars
It is a good example of the first few years of Led Zeppeling-however, there is a lot of duplication of songs (three versions of "Communication Breakdown" for example)and the first CD plods a bit. That being said, the second CD is an excellent BBC concert from 1971 and, if you enjoy Led Zeppelin, that is why you should purchase this CD>
