Re: How Many More Mellotrons

Here's a link to Led Zeppelin doing "Thank You" live in 1973. You can hear  
JPJ checking the pitch before going nuts on the Mellotron, which is mixed 
way up  front in this recording. The sound is awesome.

Led  Zeppelin 
Southampton 1973 [no label, 2CD]
Live at The Old Refectory,  Southampton University, January 22, 1973. 
For the past month or so,  Led Zeppelin fans have been rejoicing with the 
"discovery" of a new live  recording of the group. Google News reported: 
"Creating more excitement is the  Led Zeppelin show from 1973 recorded 
professionally and mixed via multi-tracks  from a show in Southampton, UK. It has 
already been released by two Japanese  bootleg labels, Empress Valley [Live At 
Southampton University: Working Tapes]  and Nasty Music [The Great Lost Live 
Album]. And at least three fans have taken  the original share from the 
Presence site to offer their own fan "remaster" of  this new show." 
Thanks to theface07 who  shared the lossless soundboard tracks on the 
internet. In the notes accompanying  the tracks, theface07 said: "This incredible 
recording was supposedly taken  direct from the multi-track master tape. 
Therefore, this would be the 1st  generation stereo mixdown if correct. I 
believe this to be true given the sound  quality of the recording. This is also 
the complete show which is rare in  soundboard quality. I took the 
opportunity to remaster the recording because I  thought it could benefit from a few 
small adjustments. Firstly, there is a  muddiness to the source which comes 
from low-mid frequencies. This has been  adjusted. Secondly, the levels 
flucuate from track to track on the source. I  have remedied this issue. I have 
also used some light compression to get a more  balanced, crisp sound. What 
is produced, as a result of these edits, is, in my  opinion, a superior 
sounding recording. I hope you agree! No limiting or noise  reduction of any 
kind has been used. Enjoy this new classic Zeppelin  performance!" 
Theface07 was a bit modest  when describing the sound: "Would've been A+ if 
not for some light-moderate hiss  that is mostly audible only during quiet 
sections." Many fans would consider the  sound to be excellent. 
With news that Led Zeppelin  are reforming for a one-off charity gig, whet 
your appetite with this excellent  show.
