This is something I can speak with authority on. The only good version of MR is the first Brussels 73 show. And that goes for Angie, as well. If I could fine the band $5.00 for every execrable live version of this song, believe me, I would.
It beggars belief that Mick, who is so critical of some live performances of certain songs, continued to inflict this four minute penance upon audiences. Imagine, if you will, a fan of the band who, allowed just four minutes to hear a live song after being deaf their whole life, listened to a version of Angie other than Brussels 73 number one.
It's criminal, that's that it is, CRIMINAL!

Yeah, Zep's live shows went on for hours. But let's break that down.
30 minutes= Bonzo's drum solo
30 minutes= Jimi's "Dazed and Confused" solo
30 minutes= John Paul Jones noodling about with "No Quarter"
Meanwhile, Plant is backstage playing the "how many lancejobs can I get in half an hour," to put it as family-friendly as possible.
That's 90 minutes of useless filler.
Although I must say that I saw the Zep 17th March 1975 at The Seattle Coliseum, and I was not under the influence of drugs [I never was when I saw the rock concerts in the 70s]. I was never bored. And this show was subdued. But they were still great.
And before I walk to the store to buy another bottle of sparkling Rose wine [my days of pure voddie stingers are long gone, kids], when I saw The Stones in Seattle in 75, Mick was off the stage for exactly the length of Billy Preston's "That's Life". Soon after Billy started playing "Outta Space", Mick emerged from the trap door from wh. that big ol' Star Star thing popped out, hair blown dry [wh. blows me away how it could have gone from soaking wet to looking perfect in 3 minutes], then he got up and bumped and grinded with Billy and things to off to a roaring conclusion, with "Brown Sugar", "Midnight Rambler", "Rip This Joint", "Street Fighting Man", & "JJF" & just to rub it in to anybody who wishes they saw a 1975 American Show, the picture below was taken by a photographer I was standing directly behind.
That means when Mick turned his head his sweat soaked the first row. And when he threw the buckets of water at the end I, among others, was SOAKED. Then, when the confetti puking dragon filled the air, I was one of the blessed few walking out of the Coliseum wearing evidence that I was in the front.

Erik was gracious enough to copy many CDRs for me [this is before the days of weTransfer] and mail them to me via snail mail. I, in my only gesture of thanks that I saw fit, mailed him my Stones on Tour 1975 picture book by Annie Liebovitz and Christopher Sykes.

Thanks for credits, Heilobaas, but the credit should go to mjake (TornAndFrayed) who shared his low-gen source of Knoxville 1972 on DIME about 5 years ago.

There's a scarily good version of Rambler here.
Lazy rock journos often refer to SFTD as a "mad samba" but imo the expression truly applies to Rambler, especially the fast middle section.
That's also why I always found Led Zep so laughable. Page may have conjured black magic Beelzebub Crowley and God knows wjat else he was just a nerdy introvert guitar guitar and his music was harmless.
Unlike LZ the Stones did make some truly scary music at their apex (72-73)

<<a nerdy introvert guitar and his music was harmless.<<
So nice to see LZ-bashing here! I thought I was the only one with these thoughts (as quoted). Introvert, nerdy and harmless; indeed

And before I walk to the store to buy another bottle of sparkling Rose wine [my days of pure voddie stingers are long gone, kids], when I saw The Stones in Seattle in 75, Mick was off the stage for exactly the length of Billy Preston's "That's Life". Soon after Billy started playing "Outta Space", Mick emerged from the trap door from wh. that big ol' Star Star thing popped out, hair blown dry [wh. blows me away how it could have gone from soaking wet to looking perfect in 3 minutes], then he got up and bumped and grinded with Billy and things to off to a roaring conclusion, with "Brown Sugar", "Midnight Rambler", "Rip This Joint", "Street Fighting Man", & "JJF" & just to rub it in to anybody who wishes they saw a 1975 American Show, the picture below was taken by a photographer I was standing directly behind.
That means when Mick turned his head his sweat soaked the first row. And when he threw the buckets of water at the end I, among others, was SOAKED. Then, when the confetti puking dragon filled the air, I was one of the blessed few walking out of the Coliseum wearing evidence that I was in the front.
