Notes:
Very good/excellent audience recording. IMHO better sounding than Poles And Sticks or Previews And Novelties of which i both have. There is a cut during Dazed And Confused. Recommended for the casual fan and completist based on sound quality and rare songs played this night (Four Sticks and Gallows Pole). Original rip had index clicks fixed by the following method. Joined each track one by one editing the clicks out in  soundforge. Shntool used to edit sbes created during the joining and editing process. Cdwave used to resplit the tracks afterward.

Do not sell
Do not convert to MP3 unless for personal use
DO SHARE!

My comments:
A excellent show from Denmark 1971, this show was part of a mini warm-up European tour scheduled to precede a lengthy North American tour a few months away. the band was in excellent mood and it shows, they played fantastically and even premiered several rare songs like Four Sticks and Gallows Pole which would be almost never played again. It also saw the premier of live staples like Rock and Roll, Misty Mountain Hop, and even a bit of Celebration Day in the Communication Breakdown medley. As for the audience, they loved the band and could not stop clapping along.  As for the recording itself its an very good recording considering the time period, it sounds a little distant but every thing sounds clear, and since this is sourced straight from the master there is basically very little hiss. Not the greatest of recordings but a very enjoyable show indeed, enjoy :)
