Led Zeppelin
He Must Be Dazed And Confused [Empress Valley, 4CD set]
Live at Earl’s Court Arena, London, UK, May 24, 1975.

These were the best of times. Led Zeppelin had conquered America. Now they wanted to come home to say goodbye. English tax laws were too demanding and exile was the sane thing to do. But just before they left, the band decided to play a series of gigs at the 17,000 capacity venue, Earl’s Court Arena in London.

Three days were picked on May 17, 18 and 23. But within hours of the tickets going on sale, they were sold out. So two more dates were added. Tickets sold at around £2.50 each. Those were indeed the days. The final two shows were also recorded. The soundboard recording of the final date, May 25, finally appeared among collectors in early 2002 and made their way to Japan where bootlegs were minted and sold. However, six songs from the May 25 show finally appeared when Zeppelin released a self-titled live DVD compilation in 2003.

But the date on May 24 is the favourite, as high quality tapes have been around since the ’90s when CD bootlegs first arrived. Great Dane, the famous bootleg label, released it as Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp using the video source. For the longest time, the entire show did not appear. It wasn’t until 2002 that an almost complete version of this show appeared in bootleg circles using the soundboard source.

He Must Be Dazed And Confused arrived almost immediately after another bootleg by Watchtower of the same show, To Be A Rock And Not To Roll, was released with digital clicks marring an otherwise fantastic release. This Empress Valley release corrected those faults while offering the same high sonic quality.

The Earl’s Court shows were a special event for Led Zeppelin who also declared themselves serious artists with the release of the Physical Graffiti double album. It was their epic album with allusions to jazz explorations and a ear for world rhythms.

On each night at Earl’s Court a different radio presenter was invited to open the show. On May 17, it was Bob Harris], 18 [Johnnie Walker], 23 [David ‘Kid’ Jansen], 24 [Nicky Horne] and on 25, the final night, Alan Freeman.

Highlights of the show included In My Time Of Dying within the first set, a fantastic display of controlled emotions from Robert Plant. No Quarter had a superb piano-guitar duel between John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page. Also essential live performances of Tangerine, Trampled Underfoot, a long involving Dazed And Confused with Woodstock worked into the song and some say the best live version of Stairway To Heaven.

The best audience recording to emerge from the Earl’s Court gigs has been for the show on May 23. This recording was made close to the stage and the detail is exceptional. Look for Empress Valley’s Demand Unprecedented In The History Of Rock Music EVSD 101-104 or Jelly Roll’s Physical Express.
