The taper writes:
I taped this show on a borrowed Bell and Howell cassette recorder, and transferred it the next day to open reel tape. For its time, and the technology used, it is a very good sounding tape. I was in the first 10 rows -- that is, from about the middle of "Immigrant Song." When that song started, I was in the 83rd row.

A few technical details in the spirit of full disclosure: 1) When I made the cassette-to-reel transfer, I had the daft idea of trying to simulate the spatial effects I heard at the concert during some of Page's solos, and during the Page/Plant call and response sections. I know -- hey, I was 16, and this wasn't for general consumption. In the intervening years I had tried various times to restore the tape to mono, but those attempts always resulted in a dulling of the highs, and I was never able to find an EQ that I liked. When I transferred the open reel tape to my hard drive, circa 1999, I did what I could to mitigate the panning, or at least see to it that it wasn't as abrupt as it is on the original reel.
