Birmingham
17th December 1972
(49:08)
Misty Mountain Hop (fades in; claps more audible for 11 sec beginning 1:30 as if mic/recorder lowered),
Since Ive Been Loving You (crowd chatter, loud [non-digital] clicks),
Dancing Days,
Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp (cut and mic rubs prior to beginning),
The Song Remains The Same,
Rain Song,
Dazed and Confused (includes Rolling and Tumbling and San Francisco) (fades out at 11:36)
The Birmingham source is about 50 minutes long. It begins during the first verse of Misty Mountain Hop and runs through the first 11 minutes of DaC. The recording is very good, one of the better audience tapes from the tour. MMH contains some strange noise in the middle, as if the taper was using his mic to clap along. A lazily brilliant SIBLY also has some pops and flutters which sound specific to the tape. These minor problems continue to a lesser degree. The five middle songs are complete, and every piece is very well performed. It is a great shame that Dazed is so truncated, as it's a goodie. San Francisco is complete. Plant's voice is decent for the period. A quiet and cool atmosphere yields minimal audience noise. I have not heard Tarantura's "Four Cards" of last year, so I can't compare versions.

I Would Love To See This Song Done Live At The L.A. Fourum In 1977..Known As The "Listen To This Eddie Album"...With A 45 Minute Version Of {NO Quarter}...The Best Album EVER..In My Opinion !!!
