I got these two cassettes from the original taper about 15 years ago. As far as I remember, my cassettes were dubs from his 1st gen safety copies (cassettes) he had made at some point during the Seventies. If the original reels still exist I don«t know, I have completely lost touch with that guy, and only vaguely remember his name.
Anyway, I had always thought, that all the existing bootlegs from this show were probably also sourced from his tapes, and that my copy might actually be just some tapes of worse quality transfers than the known bootleg releases. Which is why I never treated my cassettes with much repect, they have already been lying in the dirt of my cellar without covers for years (!!!). Yes, they have suffered.
But while revisiting them today, I found out (with the help of DIME member "acapulcogold"), that this is actually a different source altogether, and an uncirculated one, too!
The recording runs slow and has tempo issues from time to time, but someone experienced might be able to remaster it.  The sound is much more bassy than the 1st source and muddy as well. There are hardly any cuts throughout the tape, only one in Dazed and Confused. I have left Dazed and Confused as two tracks. If you burn without pauses between tracks or just paste this into your player, you will nonetheless hear it exactly as it was on my tapes.
Rain Song and Stairways To Heaven are both complete and uncut.
I am not the TOTAL Led Zeppelin nut, but it seems like this is one of the better March 73 performances and I am happy to give you this new, historic recording.
