My choices are somewhat obvious and would agree with many of those already 
mentioned..As with others they change with time and mood.....in no 
particular order

1. Uniondale, 2-14-75 (New SB here, outstanding)..Love the MSG show 2 days 
before but this is a better performance I think...
2. SBD 1969.04.27 San Francisco, Fillmore West.....Just a great show and 
recording..the band is still making a name for themselves, Robert could hit 
all the high notes and Jimmy's playing is stellar...This would be my Time 
Tunnel ( I loved that cheesy show as a kid...) pick if I could go back in 
time to attend one Zep show.....SF is a favorite city for me and it would 
have been amazing hanging there back in 69 and seeing a Zep show at the 
Fillmore......
3. AUD 1971.09.29 Osaka, Japan...Another great recording of the band at 
their height of power before the excesses of the road started to take their 
toll....
4. AUD 1972.06.25 Inglewood, LA Forum.....I like this better then the HTWWW 
official release which is too over produced for my taste and kills the 
atmosphere for me....This a nice recording which if you listen to with 
headphones in the dark with a few favorite liquid or herbal 
intoxicants..makes you feel as if you are there.............
5. AUD 1977.4.77 Richman Coliseum, Cleveland...Great atmosphere and maybe 
the best show of 77...I love the June 77 LA Forum shows but the band sounds 
tired at times and while the 77 MSG shows would get a vote the recordings 
are mediocre at best...a shame.....hopefully better sources will surface 
someday.........

This site seems to be out of favour with hard core Zep fans these days but 
this is a good resource for best shows with some of the less obvious choices 
mentioned
