LED ZEPPELIN [Eelgrass, 3CD] Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY; June 7, 1977. - Big O

Led Zeppelin Madison Square Gardens 1977 - Big O



Oh you wanted it LOUD!


Breathtakingly good quality Led Zeppelin from Big O yesterday and you better download it now or it won’t be there long (7 days only!) . . . . it exists in various formats over the years and known widely as Magical Sound Boogie but the guys here have tinkered and tweaked it back up to maximum quality. Grab it now and turn it RIGHT UP to 11

The notes from Dime clear this up

Thanks to nakedeye25 for the remaster and for sharing the show at Dime.

nakedeye25 noted:

This is Zep’s first show of a six-show run at MSG in New York in 1977. The original release is the EVSD “Magical Sound Boogie”, which is a soundboard release of the show. For this remaster I used RipX to separate the original tracks into four wav stems each (Bass, Drums, Other, Vocal).

While it is not a perfect sound separation, it does a surprisingly good job at it. The good part is it does a nice job of separating out the bass, drums and vocals. The tricky part is it combines the keyboards, acoustic guitars, and electric guitars into one track. So please don’t confuse this with a muti-track mixdown…

Having said all that, I believe the results are good enough to share with the community. The original tape cuts are still there. No Quarter has a slight cut in it. Most of the end of Black Country Woman is missing as is the beginning of the next song Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. There is also a slight cut in Over The Top. I have applied some EQ to this recording as well. I also fixed some volume issues in places throughout the show. The tracks are now set up to run as one continuous show.

this sounds amazing to my ears. just about melted my speakers down to IN MY TIME OF DYING on the drive into work today. many, many thanks to the people responsible for making this recording and remaster happen. if you are on the fence trying to decide whether or not to grab this one (as I was), trust me grab it. you won’t be disappointed.

Brackstar, Dime:

What a gem this is. Incredible sound, well balanced, Jimmy is on fire, Robert is on point, & the band seems to be having a GREAT time. No idea who pressed ‘record’ to save this amazing show to tape, or who released it to the masses, but THANKS!

Nicky19, Dime:

Hello Nakedeye25, I Love this show. It’s a dream come true to have it in this sound quality. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put in. It’s greatly appreciated.
