Tampa (CDR) 2 discs
5/5/73 Tampa, USA. Aud 8 This is a strange one. From all previous accounts the quality of this show is not so good - but the copy I've got sounds fantastic. Parts of this recording go a bit muffled admittedly but most of it sounds very bright indeed. A very good directional microphone has been used. The classic comment from the audience regarding the spilling of Coke is still there and Plant makes it absolutely concrete with regards to the date and the venue

Kezar's Palace (CDR) 3 discs (FBO Tree)
2/6/73 Kezar Stadium SF USA. Aud 8.5 Great Artwork - good clear sound very enjoyable. This is a good example of how important the FBO trees are. The upgrade is clear - this is obviously from a source very close to the original tape. It still amazes me at how clear some of these recordings are, given the equipment available at the time. (Don't forget VCR's, Sony Walkmans and Mini disc players were all at least a decade away)
Three Days After (Cobla) 3 discs
3/6/73 Los Angeles Forum, USA Aud 6/7 Full recording including all the tape problems at the start

One More for the Road (Red Hot) 2 discs
10/7/73 Milwaukee, USA Aud 6/7 I'm not overly impressed with this one as there are far better recordings from 73 - the performance doesn't stand out above any of the other shows.
