Seattle 18 june 1972; is there any more?

[CRSvideo@xxxxxxx]

Greetings Badgeholders,

Just got a listen to the Seattle 18 june 1972 show.  Nice show and the sound
on it is pretty good.  As most of you already know the problem with this show
is that the tape is so short (only the first 6 songs of the show are
available).  Does anyone know what the story with this tape is?  Did the
taper just not come with any more tape, have equipment problems after that,
erased over the rest, is hoarding it, etc...?  Wanted to know if I had any
reason to hope that the rest of the show will come to light some day.  This
is my favorate period for live Zep.

While I'm on the subject of hoping for the rest of particular shows to
surface, anyone know what the story is with the Longbeach 72 soundboard?  Was
this one of the tapes stolen from Page's house, or a opportunistic
soundperson?  Any reason to believe that the rest of it is out there and will
some day be made available (possibly with further encores)?  Or is this just
a hopeless dream?

Thanks for listening my rambling thoughts.
