Three CD set. Digitally remastered edition. Led Zeppelin continue their reissue campaign with a new edition of their celebrated live album How The West Was Won, originally released in 2003, featuring newly remastered audio, which was done under the supervision of Jimmy Page. How The West Was Won highlights the best performances from Led Zeppelin's legendary concerts at the Los Angeles Forum and Long Beach Arena on June 25 and 27, 1972. Melded together and sequenced to replicate a single concert from beginning to end, the collection captures the band at the height of it's formidable powers. Standouts include a 25-plus minute version of "Dazed And Confused" and a 21-minute medley based around "Whole Lotta Love." The performances also capture the band introducing songs from it's then-unreleased album Houses Of The Holy, which would be released nine months later. Review: Poor packaging & old/used product sent - Received an old/used one, CDs had dot like marks all over & multiple scratches, one of the CD cases inside wasn't intact. There was no booklet inside. So, beware as it is a non-returnable / non-replaceable product. Better to check & buy from a record store in-person. Review: Three Stars - poor packaging - the album rules!

“How the West Was Won” by El Zeppelino was released by Atlantic Records May 2003 but these performances from the 1972 tour were preserved for us all by devoted bootleggers – we thank them- with beaucoup transmodulation of the two shows by Jimmy hisself years later when he borrowed the tapes. We’re talking Pro-Rodeo, defined. And these cowboys got a extraspecial reception whenever they played the Inglewood Forum LA to millions all the way till ’77, last ever shows in the US. And that’s what we’re talkingbout here, a Mack Rawhide Mid-Rise 18 wheeler live on the blacktop in ‘72 entirely at the Forum (mostly) and Long Beach on June 25/27 spliced up as one entire set. We’re talking munitions. We’re talking weaponry, bombardment, artillery, warfare. Storm Trooper Assault. We’re talking military grade rock musik built to combat specifications, high tensile and compressive strengths, hardness, and loudness of Thor. Tactical Military Academy Of Musik, lessons 1 thru 100. Mayhem begins with the LA Drone, and suddenly its Immigrant Song: time rewinds, we’re back in some kinda mezolithic slaughterhouse scenario. We’re talking the best ever signature hammer-motif since “Ride of The Valyrie” 2000 years previous. It’s immediately plain , Jimmy, JPJ and Lil Drummer Boy Demento Diablo go super nova, so yu just gotta wait for the guitar solo to find out that Jimmy’s on fire tonight, nails it, no fingers stuck in strings ce soir, he rips a solo of electrocuting voltage and penetration so now we know fersure, the whole band in a frenzy, primers in the C4. What was it with Jimmy that made him a panchromatic silver surfer astronaut guitarist of the entire universe? Just note this though: at Madison Square Gardens on February 12th 1975 during “Over The Hills And Far Away” Jimmy went and played a top 5 greatest ever electrik guitar solo in all of human history, like that was Jimmy’s destiny, to do that thing that night in NYC. Check it someplace. Anyway, back at the LA Forum, El Zeppolino kick up a wild cherokee mustang storm, tornado style, and reach the limits of human endurance. It’s a highspeed 43 vehicle expressway pile-up in powerchords, whiplash deluxe & non-stop axonal damage. Jimmy plays in Mode 9 throughout on a 25 stringed Dali guitar that bends time and scientists do say it proves the theory of relativity twice, 3 times if you count quickly and he executes six consecutive quark-hadron transitions, Fender style. Which can be represented mathematically as: G -> H -> ... -> SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) -> SU(3) x U(1). Lil Johnny Demento hammers reee-lentlessly in devil-child kamikaze triplet grenades, mambo percussion juju-jojimbo, a neutron pulse pile-driver rhythm machine like 6 drummers with barracuda bass locked in tight. And Lancelot still had most of his screeching powers intact in 1972 so he sounds like one entire choir of screechers. Then you git “Dazed and Confused” – brief by later standards at a mere 25 minutes- and what can you say? – beaucoup boyz n girls tried to write theyselves a Dazed n Confused but nobody ever came close, this is perfected and extended rock music rodeo, mission statement, definitive. And it just goes on and on continuitously till they used up the entire Greater Los Angeles electricity supply 16 hours later. Blackout. Whole deal is a show of force, power, extreme prejudice. Once, in “Rock n Roll” Johnny Demento Diablo hits his drums so hard, you’d swear he’s cracked the space-time continuum permanent. Makes you sit bolt upright. We’re talking Solid Gold, Magna Cum Laudae - 1 of the 5 top supreme live Pro-Rodeo performances of all time. No simulations, no props, no CGI, no net, total commitment to the cause and they done it for real. Nobody else ever came close. Check it right now.

素晴らしいです。(泣) 何故、余り知られていない。 Blu-rayのコンサートは有名ですが、儲かるからか? もちろんDVDやBlu-rayのソフトも大事だが、このリマスターされたCDは買う価値がある。 ディープ・パープルのLIVE in Japan 位のインパクトはあります。 とにかく良すぎます!
