HOW THE WEST WAS WON is a live triple album by the English rock group Led Zeppelin, released by Atlantic Records on compact disc on 27th May 2003. The recordings are taken from two 1972 performances in California during their tour of North America. For years, Led Zeppelin fans complained that there was one missing item in the group's catalog: a good live album. The Song Remains The Same, of course, was a soundtrack of a live performance, but it was a choppy, uneven performance, lacking the majesty of the group at its peak. BBC Sessions was an excellent, comprehensive double-disc set of their live radio sessions, necessary for any Zeppelin collection, particularly because it contained three songs, all covers, never recorded anywhere else. But some carped that the music suffered from not being taped in front of a large audience, which is how Zeppelin built their legacy - or, in the parlance of this triple-disc collection of previously unreleased live recordings compiled by Jimmy Page, HOW THE WEST WAS WON.
PERSONNEL: Robert Plant – vocals, harmonica; Jimmy Page – guitars, mandolin; John Paul Jones – bass guitar, double bass, bass pedals, keyboards, mandolin, backing vocals; John Bonham – drums, percussion, backing vocals, co-lead vocals on "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp".
The West in this case is the West Coast of California, since this contains selections from two 1972 concerts in Los Angeles: a show at the L.A. Forum on June 25, and one two days later at Long Beach Arena. This is the first archival release of live recordings of Zeppelin at their peak and while the wait has been nigh on interminable, the end result is certainly worth the wait. Page has assembled a killer live album that captures the full, majestic sweep of Zeppelin at their glorious peak. And, make no mistake, he tries to shove everything into these three discs -- tight, furious blasts of energy. gonzo freak-outs, blues, and rock, a sparkling acoustic set. Like always, the very long numbers - the 25-minute "Dazed And Confused'', the 23-minute "Whole Lotta Love", the 19-minute "Moby Dick" - are alternately fascinating and indulgent, yet even when they meander, there is a real sense of grandeur, achieving a cinematic scale attempted by few of their peers. Certainly no other hard rock or metal band could be this grand. Only Queen or David Bowie truly attempted this. But the real power of the band comes through on the shorter songs, where their sound is distilled to its essence. In the studio, Zeppelin was all about subtle colors, textures, and shifts in the arrangement. On-stage, they were similarly epic, but they were looser, wilder, and hit harder. Witness how "Black Dog" goes straight for the gut here, while the studio version escalates into a veritable guitar army - it's the same song, but the song has not remained the same. That's the case throughout HOW THE WEST WAS WON, where songs that have grown overly familiar through years of play seem fresh and new because of these vigorous, muscular performances. For those who never got to see Zeppelin live, this is as close as they'll ever get. For those who did see them live, this is a priceless souvenir. For either group, this is absolutely essential, as it is for anybody who really loves hard rock and roll. It doesn't get much better than this. This Is Led Zeppelin At Its Best And An Illustration of how the West was won.
