Maybe Mr. Hoff is working in a vacuum, or maybe he has another agenda entirely, or maybe he isn't quite the expert he makes himself out to be.

Or maybe someone in the Led Zeppeliin trading community has so clouded the waters on the entire Led Zeppelin live recorded legacy that no one will ever be able to straighten it out...Gee, I wonder who could or would have done such a thing? Well, it doesn't take much presence of mind to figure that who would be behind such an occurance.


Again, I am no overall expert on Led Zeppelin, but I am 'the' expert on 4 specific recordings, only because I was at those shows and it's my recording which circulates (or is not in common circulation.) On these listings, Mr. Hoffs is dead wrong. (I can point out my voice on these recordings and I have done so to certain Led Zeppelin collectors, if verification is needed that I actually recorded these tapes.)


The question then begs: So, On how many other instances could Hoff be wrong, if on my work he is 100% dead wrong?

"Presence" of mind... nice one...

Thanks for your input on the site.
I noticed that it certainly wasn't complete, but have no other means of verifying his info.
I, for one, have absolutely no idea who 'in the Zeppelin trading community' could be
clouding the waters or why.... I don't know, ... could it be.... SATAN!
(sorry, you had to be watching 'Saturday Night Live' in the 80s to get that)
Unless it could be one or both of the sources quoted above.

Personally,
I've only ever come across one instance where Robert Godwin failed to mention
a detail about a record that I picked up. As far as I can tell. When it comes to vinyl,
he knows all.

Am I crossing a line unknown to the layman by asking you what shows you taped?
Just curious, as I've never even seen a live Led Zeppelin show.
