Notes:

The story behind these Cassettes is what makes this so special to me. From

the local tape shop were Mike bought his blanks. A person working there

noticed this same guy coming in and buying up big amounts of blanks. He

asked what they were for and Millard told him that he taped concerts.

They became friends and made a deal, Free blanks for Mikes taped shows.



I have listened to alot of "low gen" sources for this show. They all have

"Millard Markings" most common are cuts during No Quarter & Guitar solo.

Those 2 songs are complete. Mike would also put in pulse channel dropouts

after his tape flips & and would put silent spots on some of the songs. I

guess that is how he kept track of his trades. These are clean from those

"Markings" and they are the best sounding of all the low gen versions I

have heard.

Comments:

First of six sold out nights at the Forum, and a great show.

The Song Remains The Same, Sick Again, Kashmir and Achilles Last Stand

are devastating and No Quarter is just the greatest version ever heard!

John Bonham was introduced by Plant as "...the man who fought food

poisoning and drunk Heineken...". A great show and not merely an opening

night, but a great show in its own right. It also comes from the best

audience recording ever! In fact the Millard tape sound so great Jimmy

used the fragment on the official DVD!
