Led Zeppelin - “The Soundboard Archive”
Thanks to the original uploaders!
For some time now, I have been making “The Soundboard Archive” compilations. My live-music collection had become so massive that I thought it pointless to keep "multiple-to-the-nth-degree" versions of the same songs, especially for "non-jam" bands: thus the genesis of this project of mine.
This has been my methodology:
I. Choose a trade-allowing artist (= "not on LL's / TTD's NAB lists") & collate all of the tracks from my “SBD” flac/shn files for said artist.
As of this writing, I've made compilations for the following, in chronological order:
01. Gillian Welch & David Rawlings
02. Marvin Gaye
03. Alison Krauss & Union Station
04. The Fall
05. Blind Melon
06. Rush
07. Eddie Money
08. Bob Marley & The Wailers
09. 10cc
10. Alabama Shakes
11. 10,000 Maniacs
12. 311
13. Doc Watson
14. AC/DC
15. Adele
16. Adrian Belew
17. Radiohead
18. The Alarm
19. Billy Joe Shaver
20. Led Zeppelin
21. Bottle Rockets
II. Listen to each track and choose what sounds to my ears to be the “best” version.
III. Rename each chosen track and add tags detailing date & venue.
IV. Compile “the winners” into a “The Soundboard Archive” collection – after ensuring (to the best of my ability) that NO included tracks have been officially released.
Enjoy! Support the artist and buy the officially-released items (to the best of my knowledge & as of this writing) -
