Re: Peter Grant Tribute / London Calling

[david50@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I must second Bruce the Buckeye's reccomendation of London Calling DVD.  IMHO, 
it has the 
best picture and sound quality of all the currently available Earls Court 
footage.  
It's a title I can watch over and over...  And comparing the set lists of 
London Calling 
and the official DVD release, only two songs overlap:  STH and IMTOD.  And it 
is possible 
that they are still different since they could be taken from different nights...

Here's the songs covered on London Calling:
Earls Court Arena, London 24 May 1975
Stairway To Heaven

Ear's Court Arena, London 25 May 1975
Rock And Roll
Sick Again
Over The Hills And Far Away
In My Time Of Dying
The Song Remains The Same
The Rain Song

Compare it to the new DVD:
Earls Court, 24/25 May 1975:
Going To California
That's The Way
Bron-yr-Aur Stomp
In My Time Of Dying
Trampled Underfoot
Stairway to Heaven

Fortunately, not much overlap.  So between the two, we get to see a decent 
amount of EC footage.  
In time, I'm sure more will leak out.  At least we can hope...
