Thanks so much, zoso. I presume these are the same mixes previously released by EVSD for these shows, but I'm really looking forward to finding out!

Edit: circling back with compairsons to previous EVSD releases:
- 3/3/75 is identical to previous EVSD release '1975 March 3'.

- 3/4/75 is extremely similar but not identical to 'Chasing the Dragon'. Track timings are off, and the mastering is very subtlely different. I'm not sure which one I prefer. CTD is slightly thicker, while this release is slightly louder and brighter. Moby Dick on CTD is patched with SBD from 3/5 from 12:33-30:33, then AUD patched on the last few notes; this release cuts off when the 3/4 SBD ends at 12:10.

- I have Wendy's 'Babushka Lady' for 3/5, so I can't compare this release to previous EVSDs. I will say that I only tend to keep the one best-sounding release for each Zep show, but of course that's entirely subjective. In this case, Wendy is somewhat quieter and more subtle, while this release is louder and very clear with exceptional sub-bottom end. I think I prefer Wendy at first listen, but I'll reserve judgment until I've heard this EVSD all the way through. My concern is that the new EVSD is so loud that it might prove fatiguing to listen to more than a few tracks at a time. Both releases sound excellent.

Hope this info helps someone choose what version(s) they want to chase. Thanks again, zoso!

Thank you so much for analyzing over 500 minutes of audio across three days.
I just can't get enough of Bonzo's explosive intensity on “Stairway to Heaven” from “Sparking John H. Bonham(March 3rd)”!
