Grant!
 
You hit the nail on the head with that statement.
 
Obviously I am not one who "reviews" shows and such, but I am one of  many,  
who OFTEN looks too and for other's opinions, and reads these sites  and the 
reviews given, because I do not collect every single show, source,  
label...etc.. I am abit more discreet in my choices that I add to my collection 
 (when 
obtaining them personally, otherwise..anyone please feel free to send me  
anything you want..lol)...and thus like to read others opinions first.
 
I distinctly recall my last visit to UU, that I felt as if the <insert  
various titles> were being PUSHED (please note..that this was before the  
current 
happenings)
 
With all that said. I DO NOT rely on anyone's opinion or reviews, for  making 
decisions as to whether or not I should obtain <insert title> it is  just 
"nice" AND very handy, to hear or read what others think about the  show/title 
etc..and I'd prefer it to be realistic..I mean TELL ME if it's SHITE  or 
not..don't just try to CONVINCE me of it's overall worthiness.
 
I sincerely and with a passion, LOVE LED ZEPPELIN, that's why I'm here,  
that's why all of us are here.(I hope ;-)
 
Ya, maybe I don't go into detail about anything on this list, at all.  That's 
because, I feel that what I HEAR is not going to be what YOU hear.  Everyones 
"setup" is different, some prefer more bass, while others probably  just want 
to hear Plant's voice. Me, I'm totally into guitar. If I can isolate  Jimmy 
as much as possible, I WILL.
 
Other times...I really wanna hear that bass, or those drums...then there is  
just regular listening time, where I just let the mix go, and sit back and get 
 into every little sound I hear, be it Bonham's ghost notes, or Jonesy takin 
off  on some organ solo, while I try to listen to what everyone else is doing 
in the  background.
 
All I'm saying is MY listening experience is always going to be diff. than  
yours. I like it that way. I'm not the best person to be objective and I would  
NOT make a good reviewer and I know this, therefore I never say anything 
about  most shows. Perhaps after all these years, I should. Yet I don't.
 
I will shut up now. It's FRIDAY BABY, and I've got some shows to listen to  
;-)
Have a great weekend, my fellow ZEPFANADDICTS!
