Re: Zep in Amsterdam 5/27/72

Well Roy all I can do is concur with your assessment, the level seems 
fine until the higher freqs of Roberts voice start to make a coil out 
of 
the VU meters' needle at which time the line volume would have been 
reduced.

I wonder if we would ever get a second bite at the cherry and 
remaster 
from a lower set volume right from the beginning.
