nohsarrer2 - only partially if at all. without cigarettes, drugs booze and with some proper on stage pacing and shows limited to 90 minutes, his voice could have gone on for years.
Actually this is an infamous show where Plant recovering from laryngitis (his "high range being shot was another story) and the show being so bad, reviewers said it was "no where near adequate." As indeed the case.
They always sucked after the fourth tour in 69 by the time they hit Chicago. I saw the worst one ever, Jimmy passed out in through the third song. Never got my money back. Although, seeing the third show of Plant and Page in Little Rock 16 years ago made up for it! Got on the front page 'no pun intended' so we are cool! :)
Percy could have sure used a spot of nice black tea,but was probably drinking some of Jimmy's Jack Daniels and smoking a lot cowboy killers------------Marlboros.
This recording is just terrrible! It sounds just like a worn out cassette tape that's been played too many times or has been sitting around too long or is just a plain f'd up cassette tape. PLEASE, if you have any respect for Zep, don't even post this awful, disgracefull recording of them on the net, when it's not a true example of the awesome music they made.
@Bill1122 Zep fans can see past recording quality. We understand this is a bootleg recording and that boots diminish true sound. That said, I can see where you're coming from too.
@TruthAxe you must be mentally impaired...jimmy page is one of the most innovative guitarist of his time...and of all time for that matter..the blues based hard rock was all him...so go munch a fat one
-3 why? his poor vocal cords was from the weed thats why his voice crahsed in the later years he had a great voice early then it crashed when he continued the weed page was on fire till 77 and bonzo and joneszy never crashed
But She doesnt and cant hit them in Head Voice. Head voice strains your vocals. Women dont really have head voice too, so it comes easier i presume, i dont know that for sure though... Considering im not a woman. aha.
@bluu999 I am aha. But Plant's voice is strained, and it's saddening. He should of tried to make it last longer. But then again... We wouldn't of had the same Zeppelin. :]
Damn you're a noob. Don't hate on the weed. Plant also smoked cigarettes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think Plant actually got vocal surgery in 1973 and that's likely the reason for the vocal deterioration.
Plant's voice is shot here. I had this SB, but traded it for the audience boot, which is more forgiving to Plant's troubled throat. Great bass work here by Jonesy.
This was a concert with a lot of fist fights in the audience (hence the boot's name, "Second City Showdown")... Percy had to plead for peace several times in-between songs ... crowd may also have been a little upset at the raw condition of Plant's voice, otherwise the band is in excellent form at this show.
Sweet but Plants voice sounds a bit "worn" here. I actually like the Celebration '75 clip from the Song Remains The Same better but this is nice man thanks!
well it's a rare file...I pick up everything i find of '73 tour,because i love it and I want to share it with the world!well robby isn't at the top,but still a kickin'asses performance!G.o.R.L.Z.
@rikyhendrixx I feel as though their live show was never as good after '73. Plant's voice is really strained by '77 and Jimmy's playing at times was lackluster. Ego's, Drugs and booze will always take down the best rock bands, it's sad.
Yeah Plant lost his good high pitched voice after the U.S. 72 Tour, from there it went to Japan where he could still sing high but he couldn't belt it with his voice cracking, then on the U.K. 72 tour his voice was still high but a far step down from Japan and on the first show of 73 his voice was gone, he didn't even sing high on Stairway. Although it sounds like he is sick here his voice seems particularly rough.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Drugs combined with the truth that Page wasn't much of a guitarist and Plant couldn't sing destroyed Led Zeppelin.
What a waste of a solid rhythm section.
Zeppelin looked every bit the dinosaurs they were by 1975, once Aerosmith released Toys in the Attic.
By the time The Clash came out, LZ revealed themselves to be the role model for Spinal Tap.
Amazingly, a whole generation of nerdy Millennials have taken to liking has-beens LZ after finding their daddies' LZ records.

actually plants voice had its demise from over use.
Listen to any 69-71 bootleg and you can tell why plants voice was lost.
When you're hitting a G5 vocal note using nothing but head voice 20 times a night every night for 3 years....
