Zep sucked live?.. well.. I never saw them live but I've got almost 100 bootlegs and yeah some of them aren't that great - it's the risk you take when you're given to impromptu improvisation of every song in the setlist - but some songs are head and shoulders better than the studio versions. I'm glad they took those risks.

The Earl's Court boots from '72 or '73.. All the Royal Albert Hall shows, same with MSG.. have you ever seen The Song Remains The Same? The solo in No Quarter is just freaky good - the coolest celtic-jazzy-bluesy notes ever strung together. The live DVD's? Even a heroined-up Page had more ideas than 99% of the "play-it-exactley-like-the-album" dittoheads you get nowadays.
