Dazed & Confused

[no9mg017@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hard to pick a favourite one, so I`ll have to babble a bit.

Honourable mentions:

*Essen, Germany 3/22/73*  Highlight would be Bonham`s incredible drumming. Everyone else is 
in great form as well, but Bonham is at his best. Before the bow solo they do a bit of `Cold 
Sweat`. Also `San Francisco` is great. A `four red ones and two purple ones` night for Bonham.

*Ottawa, 4/14/70*  A shorter Dazed, only 15 minutes long, but it packs as much a punch as the 
later ones. Plant screeches very well, if not a little haggard. Bonham and Jones are very fluid 
and Page plays great. A version with a lot of `light and shade`. Very subdued until after the 
bow solo and it gets really fast and really loud and very angry. An `eight Valium and three 
horse tranquilizer` night for Mr. Page.

*Adelaide, 2/19/72*  Best song on the tape by far. Bonham is the highlight once again. 
No drugs this afternoon as the cop prescence is just too much.

And the best Dazed & Confused:

*Boston, 9/07/71*  The whole band at their absolute best. Page is on fire the whole night and 
especially during Dazed. A very experimental version as well... recognizing they couldn`t do 
much wrong tonight they take this tune all over the place. A minute or two before the last verse 
Page does some heavy riffing very 1/2 minute that is just incredible and won`t be heard again 
(hopefully saving it for the P/P album). Very wild version and the best I`ve heard. Lots of cocaine 
on the brain for everyone tonight. And a hot pepper up Plant`s ass.
