The Wendy label’s latest release will be on February 25, 1972 in Auckland, New Zealand. Speaking of Auckland NZ, the sound source was finally excavated in recent years, and I was surprised at the good sound quality, but in terms of content, I was dissatisfied with the recording of about two-thirds of the concert. This work is mainly a source with good sound from the old days, complemented with another source that seems to have been recorded by the same person, which is the first appearance this time, and it is the title that completely recorded this concert for the first time. Become.

This time, the first appearance is from the pre-concert intro, which was missing in the conventional source, to most of “Immigrant Song”, “Celebration Day”, “California”, the latter half of “Dazed and Confused”, “Strong”. It’s about 7 songs, “Love of Two”, “Moby Dick”, and “Rock’n Roll”. In the world of Zeppelin, which has matured and has to stick to slight differences in sound quality and long and short, such a major content upgrade is truly a surprise. Moreover, although the sound quality is not as good as the main one, the sound image is close and the sound quality of the guitar is as high as if you were picking up a monitor. Many of these Australian tours were recorded halfway, and some songs were almost always missing, but for the Auckland NZ performance, the final recording and sound quality were finally decided. Isn’t it like that?

Due to the opposite season to the Northern Hemisphere, a concert in New Zealand in warm February with a calm atmosphere. Although the set list is the same in 1972, it is unique to Australia, unlike Europe, the United States and Japan. What is amazing is the appearance of the phrase “eternal poetry” in “Dazed and Confused”. The guitar solo gradually became lively, and before I knew it, it led to the solo of “Eternal Poem”. When I listen to it with my current ears, I immediately notice that this is sore, but of course this time was before the release, and everyone at the venue believed that it was an ad lib and would not have doubted it. It looks like you’re improvising, and I think it’s a good example of what led to subsequent recordings and songwriting.

Complete recording with the addition of excavated sound sources for almost 7 songs that first appeared. Among the rare Australian tours, there is no doubt that it will be the only definitive board for the Auckland NZ performance where you can see the whole picture of the concert! The set list is also a special set only for the Australian tour. Of course, a beautiful picture disc specification and a solid press board for permanent storage. With Japanese obi.
