LED ZEPPELIN – BURN LIKE A CANDLE (3 CD)

Description

Live at The Forum, Inglewood, California, USA 25th June 1972 TRULY PERFECT SOUND
★UPGRADE!!!

　Finally, a reversal occurred in which Mike Millard’s audience recording was officially released by Pink Floyd, but on the other hand, rather than fading even after the official release, the recording that made its name was the ZEP LA Forum on June 25, 1972. Although it became the main source of the well-known “HOW THE WEST WAS WON,” the value of the audience recording from that day that had been available for a long time has not decreased at all due to detailed editing, early 2000s-like sound production, and cutting out all of Plant’s MCs.

　The June 25th recording is a stereo audience recording boasting the highest sound quality on the 1972 US tour. It’s a truly fascinating recording, not only because the sound image is close, but also because it captures the actual sound that would have been heard at the venue that day. It’s a rare audience recording that captures the incredible atmosphere and ZEP’s performance, which was in top form, in an exquisite balance.

　Although there was excitement at the time that such a day would be officially released on multi-track, the finished product was difficult to say was a faithful reproduction of June 25th, and for practical reasons, covers such as “Slow Down” and “Heartbreak Hotel,” which was a symbol of that day, were cut, especially for the cover song “Whole Lotta Love,” which included music royalties. In many ways, the audience recording of that day has not faded, and in fact it may even be a sound source that is still popular today.

　It was only a fascinating audience recording that combined both sound quality and content, and many items were produced, starting with the GOLD STANDARD album “BURN LIKE A CANDLE,” which was a joke about the title of Plant’s new album. The GOLD STANDARD album, which is now highly popular as a vintage item, and the MISSING LINK album “A NIGHT AT THE HEARTBREAK HOTEL,” which played a role in spreading this sound source in Japan, all had low pitches and even had the problem of recording “Weekend” on another day.

　In the 21st century, not only have items with normal pitch finally been released, but the sound quality has also improved. In terms of packaging, it is commonplace for items to be released with the artwork and title of “BURN LIKE A CANDLE.”

　”BURN LIKE A CANDLE” has thus been perfected with various items in recent years, but it is also characterized by the large number of cuts due to the vintage audience. While it is inevitable that cuts will be made into the long “Dazed And Confused” and “Whole Lotta Love,” there were unnecessary inter-song cuts here and there, and there were no items that kept them to a minimum.

　Therefore, for this release, by basing it on a version that does not go through the internet, unnecessary cuts have been minimized and a natural listening experience has been achieved. The most obvious is before the start of “What Is And What Should Never Be.” There was a cut here, but in fact, Plant muttered “Whoa” before the cut (which is a nice touch). Also, “What Is And What Should Never Be” starts a cappella without an intro, and Jimmy customarily strokes the opening chords as a signal to Plant.

　It started with Jimmy stroking twice on this day, but in most cases the first stroke was missing in past items. However, this time, the plant’s murmur and the beginning of the first stroke are proof of the longest version.

　In this way, the fact that the last overlooked part in the standard sound source that has already been pushed to the limit in terms of sound quality is kept to a minimum is unique to a high-level master that does not go through the internet.

　Plant repeatedly calms the crowd, reflecting the incredible excitement. “Stairway to Heaven,” a new song unreleased at the LA Forum a year ago, has now become a popular song, and he tries to quiet the crowd before it even begins. He also warns the burly security guards about excessive security before the finale, making this a valuable documentary that includes scenes that were completely cut from the official “HOW THE WEST WAS WON” release.

　Even though the finale was cut, “Whole Lotta Love” was still officially recorded, which was lucky, and “Thank You,” which started with the super happy “Louie Louie,” was not adopted. That’s why the value of this 1972 American masterpiece audience is not diminished at all.

　”BURN LIKE A CANDLE”, which every enthusiast would have, has accurate pitch and a straightforward state without unnecessary equalization, and with minimal cuts, so you can enjoy the 1972 ZEP classic sound source with peace of mind!
