DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS, by Led Zeppelin:



The sound quality is excellent for a live show (I think it was taken right off the soundboard).

Anyway, as a small bit of history: back in the day, there were a lot of bootleg stores in Vancouver, and I think there were a few police raids over this.
(Pretty sure that it happened in Toronto, as well.)

Of course, back in the day. as a 12-14 year old kid, I could never afford any of these bootlegs.
Heh, back in the day, I spent my entire life savings on a cassette of LZ3, and I don't regret a single penny of it, to this day!

Anyway, if anyone has some good Zep bootlegs, please post!

Speakeasy,
Prespos

PS.
If I can find DESTROYER, by Led Zep, I will post that one. Perhaps one of the greatest live albums of all time!

I think over again my small adventures. My fears, those small ones that seemed so big, for all the vital things I had to get and to reach, and yet, there is only one great thing, the only thing, to live to see the great day that dawns, and the light that fills the world. - Old Inuit Song

“Superstitions are religious forms surviving the loss of ideas. Some truth no longer known or a truth which has changed its aspect is the origin and explanation of all. The name from the Latin, superstes, signfies that which survives, they are the dead remnants of old knowledge or opinion” - Eliphas Levi (138 The History of Magic).

“Let no one wake a man brusquely for it is a matter difficult of cure if the soul find not its way back to him”, the Upanishads of ancient India ( 58 Our Oriental Heritage, Durant).

"Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that's what makes it so boring" – Edward Gorey.

"The bright day is done and we are for the dark" - Shakespeare

"No lamp burns till morning" - Persian proverb.

“The living close the eyes of the dead, but it is the dead that open the eyes of the living”— Old Slavic saying.

'The best place to hide a light is in the sun' – old Arab proverb.

'To thee, thou wedding-guest!
He prayeth well who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
He prayeth best who loveth best,
All things both great and small:
For the dear God, who loveth us,
He made and loveth all' - Samuel Taylor Coleridge (VII Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner).

The DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE City of Brass cover is good and bad at the same time. While its very representational of a high level adventure, it sends a clear message to the dumb: Satan is going to cornhole Miss USA with a big red member and theres nothing science or the military can do about it. - Gene Weigel

Some French gypsy jazz that they always play in trendy coffee shops, because I'm IN a trendy coffee shop checking my email and shit.

I do like trendy, gypsy jazz though, but I didn't like it first, so I'm not really hip. 8)

I'm assuming the awesome Demons and Wizards by Uriah Heap, as opposed to the Iced Earth/Blind Guardian collaborative project (which is pretty kick-ass as well).

Awesome. Eric and I were killing nazi zombies this morning in Call of Duty while jamming Metallica's "All Nightmare Long". Good times.

It's a classic, wish they had cleaved more closely to their thrash roots like Testament and others. None of their material after And Justice really carries this kind of complexity.

Yeah, I think Ride the Lightning might be my favorite Metallica album.

Listening to it now -- love the intro to this album.

I think they finally ran out of Mustaine riffs, really needed Burton's style and should have kept Rasmussen. :lol:

They're gazillionaires now though, way more famous and wealthy than Testament, so I guess they'll have the last laugh...
