A good career spanning setlist in support of the Outrider album. It not only includes the majority of that album, but covers Zeppelin, The Firm and The Yardbirds as well as the Death Wish 3 Soundtrack (which Page introduces as Death Wish 2).

This show took a lot of work to make presentable. Karl must have been having trouble with hovering security, because he ducks the mic down several times and there are weird stereo imaging issues. Karl tried to chase out the quiet spots in the show (Blues Anthem and the beginning of Stairway, for example) by turning the record level up, then back down as it got loud. This was done imperfectly to say the least. I've corrected the level changes and also fixed the stereo problems as much as possible by adjusting the volume of the channels by hand, and I EQd the dull spots from the mic ducking as separate files abd faded them with the original ones (somtimes in multiple layers) to smooth out the sound a lot better than originally. There are still some minor changes, but it's far, far better than the master. What's left is more changes in the spatial orientation of the sound because the mic was moved than any repairable flaws.

I'm not sure why he doesn't notice, but Page's guitar is out of tune for over an hour. I should say guitars, because he switches to an open tuned guitar from Midnight Moonlight through In My Time of Dying, and that one is just as out of tune. Everyone who works for him must be so awed by or afraid of him to tell him, too (rumored evil powers, y'know).

I'm not really that impressed with Page's performance, but the singer, John Miles, is amazing! He handles the vocals of Plant and Paul Rodgers quite impressively, and I think he sounds alot like David Coverdale, foreshadowing Page's next collaboration. Whatever became of this guy?
