Led Zeppelin : Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Uniondale, New York, USA. 06/15/72 (2nd Night)


DO YOU REMEMBER

MAMA, WHEN I KNOCKED 

UPON YOUR DOOR

I SAID, YOU HAD THE NERVE

TO TELL ME

YOU DIDN'T WANT ME NO MORE


 Another wild 

and 

excellent show

 the night after! 

The band is just perfect; 

everyone came to play!

 Jones and Bonham play 

some amazing lines behind Jimmy 

in one of the best versions of 

Dazed And Confused

 from the tour! 

During Heartbreak Hotel

 many members of the audience

 started some movement 

and the authorities raised

 the house lights

 so they could check 

what's going on. 

The Whole Lotta Love medley

 is long and wonderful 

and Robert's voice is

 at its most pristine

 throughout this show.

The tape begins with

 the first appearance of

 the droning intro

 before the sonic attack of 

Immigrant Song

 crashes into motion.

 Someone near the taper

 sings along with Plant 

during the first verse. 

Page tears through

 the guitar solo as 

Bonzo causes a stampede 

of drums during 

Heartbreaker. 

Plant asks the crowd 

"was anybody here last night?"

 before introducing

 Black Dog as a song

 "about a dog who used to

 boogie too much.

" There is quite a bit of 

talking/shouting

 coming from near the taper 

between and during songs,

 including someone who sings

 along with Plant's "

sweet jelly roll" line.

 Since I've Been Loving You

 is dramatic and powerful. 

Bonzo is like a tidal wave,

 repeatedly crashing against the shore.

There is an argument about tickets 

and seat locations near the taper

 during the initial verses of

 Stairway to Heaven.

 The guitar solo and

 final rock section are 

absolutely explosive. 

Prior to a beautiful 

Going to California,

 Plant announces 

"well, twenty-three is old now,

 so I gotta sit down" 

before complaining about the PA.

 The delicate instrumental section

 before the final verse is 

interrupted by someone shouting 

"everybody smokin' that dope?" 

very close to the taper's microphone. 

That's the Way

 is ruined by the talking

 and random yelping 

of the tapers. 

If One Is Going To

 Tape A Show At Least

SHUT UP !!!!

Plant dedicates 

Tangerine to

 "the good times."

 Unfortunately, 

the tape is cut after

 just over a minute.

 There is a cut during

 the instrumental breakdown in 

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, 

which includes the

 first appearance of Plant's 

"Stryder!" 

call at the end of the song.

The lead-in to the

 bow solo during

 Dazed and Confused 

features an excellent

 driving improvisation

 followed by a 

great jazzy interlude,

 courtesy of Bonzo.

 Page is on fire 

during the

 frenzied guitar

 solo/workout section. 

Another excellent rendition of

 The Crunge 

is followed by 

even more

 high-flying guitar heroics,

 even managing to 

shut the tapers

 up for a few minutes. 

The Mars,

 the Bringer of War section

 is devastatingly heavy. 

Page solos wildly as

 Plant's chants echo 

over the crowd 

during the outro. 

A true epic, 

one of the best thus far.

Plant announces

 "somebody's thrown me a capsule... 

I'm gonna have to hand

 this in I'm afraid" 

before 

What is and What Should Never Be. 

He introduces Bonzo as 

"our number two vocalist" 

before Moby Dick.

 Unfortunately, 

only the intro 

and outro survive. 

The Everybody Needs Somebody to Love

 section during 

Whole Lotta Love

 is a frenzied cacophony. 

The medley includes 

Boogie Chillen', 

which Plant introduces

 by saying 

"I think this is the national anthem,"

 Johnny Otis's 

Willie and the Hand Jive, 

Hello Mary Lou, 

Money Honey, 

Heartbreak Hotel, 

during which Plant defiantly

 insists that the

 house lights go down,

 and 

John Lee Hooker's 

Bottle Up and Go. 

Unfortunately,

the tape is cut during

 Goin' Down Slow, 

ending the recording.

 A truly inspired performance. 

Simply A Must Hear. !!!
