43 years ago, Led Zeppelin played in Toronto Immigrant Song Heartbreaker Since Ive Been Loving You Out On The Tiles (intro) Black Dog Dazed And Confused Its Your Thing Hendrix Jam Mars: The Bringer Of War Stairway To Heaven Celebration Day Thats The Way Going To California What Is And What Should Never Be Moby Dick Whole Lotta Love Boogie Chillen My Baby Left Me Mess O Blues You Shook Me Gee, Baby Aint I Good To You Kind Hearted Woman Blues Communication Breakdown Bass solo Organ Solo Thank You Live from the Midnight Sun (2CD, The Diagrams of Led Zeppelin, TDOLZ 189701/02) Both board tape and audience tape were used for previously released boots of this show, but In A Daze is the only boot which was from audience source. These two titles released almost at the same time used the same version of the audience source as that of In a Daze. The source tape is notorious for its irritating cuts between the songs, and on these newly released titles as well, beginning and ending of most of songs are missing. But ending few seconds of StH, which is on these stuff, were not on In A Daze. On the other hand, Moby Dick is a bit shorter than In A Daze version. In terms of the sound quality, these CDs are better than that of In A Daze . Among The Diagrams of Led Zeppelin and Baby Face, there are no big difference, but the latter is a little bit better, since hiss noise is more carefully removed. (Susumu Omi, Apr 1997) Maple Leaf (baby face 9601) Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto, Canada, September 4, 1971 This release uses a near excellent audience tape source for the entire show. The sound is a little flat, but is well balanced, near the stage and contains very little audience noise. Unfortunately all the between song chatter has been edited out. To make matters worse, due to the editing, all songs (except Heartbreaker) start at, near or right after their first note. This release also contains some tape hiss in the upper frequencies. But unlike previous releases from the same series (Cobra and Lemon Song), Maple Leafs sound is not destroyed by heavy equalization. Part of this show is available from the soundboard (Celebration Day through Moby Dick). It would be a true day of celebration if the rest of that tape were made available. (Brian Ingham Nov 97) Live from the Midnight Sun (Diagrams Of Led Zeppelin) Per *** SQ **1/2 Appeal:HC 2 CD audience recording from Toronto September 4th 1971. Previously issued as In a Daze, this set again contains numerous cuts to many song beginnings and some endings, but the sound has been upgraded. However, this recording is still a bit muddy, with an emphasis on the bass frequencies and some background hiss. Distortion is more noticeable on a few numbers - Thats The Way and Whole Lotta Love. This is a good but undistinguished 71 show, with aggressive versions of Heartbreaker and Black Dog. Communication Breakdown features an extended ending and bass solo. (Tony Gassett July 97)
