A bittersweet time...

[KILPATRI@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Greetings Zeppeliniados -

  It's nice to be part of an Internet tradition again - a place where folks
can
discuss the magic of Zeppelin without being choked by ego. That's what the
last
place was for a long time, and what this will continue to be, I'm sure.

  A few years back, when I was in grad school, I had a steady stream of
those
lovely padded envelopes going out (with frequent trips to the P.O.), as well
as
quite a few coming in. I have a wooden tape rack 4 feet high chock full of
LZ
and related tapes, and several stacks that don't fit in it. Sound familiar,
anyone? For the last 2 years or so I've had a real job and my tape-trading
has
taken a back seat to other concerns, but believe me those things get played!
I
celebrated the beginning of this list with a listen to Disc 3 of LttE, and
the
rowdy fan who was FINALLY granted his request of "Heartbreaker". I miss all
the
fun that the other list provided at that time, but I know this one can be
better. One of the dumbest and most rewarding things I ever did was to offer
free copies of 3 Plant FoN shows to the first 20 who e-mailed me - no
blanks,
nothing - back in the fall of 1993. I spent a week dubbing furiously but it
was
great to correspond and read the joyous e-mails once those packages were
received.

Ah, anyway, just getting a little nostalgic. 

Anybody else think that the Hamburg '73 D&C is the tightest ever? Yowza -

Bye all -
