I've picked up and ogled the new Strange Euphoria box set several times in the past few weeks. It looks so awesome, and the live DVD from 1976 might just kill me. It also has Ann and Nancy's track by track thoughts in the accompanying booklet. Anyone given into temptation? Only $38 on Amazon, with a short bonus disc of Zep covers...

Okay, that thing looks pretty dope.

I know! So tempting...

Saw them under the arch in St. Louis on the 4th of July and they totally sold me on some of the 80s hits...even the obligatory new stuff wasn't too bad. I love how unabashed they are about being Zep worshippers - their play-on music was "In the Light" and they encored with "Misty Mountain Hop."

I think I love their misty mountain hop as much as the original, if not slightly more

I bought it for a friend for her birthday and we're having a listening party tomorrow!

Let us know just how much it rocks.

Demos are amaaaaaaaaaaazing, Zep covers sound basically exactly like LZ in a good way. Booklet has great pictures. Worth it!

Aaargh! I kinda wanted to hear that it sucked so I wouldn't want it so much.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 15 July 2012 14:44 (eleven years ago) link
Sorry :( Even the 80s songs I didn't know (ie not the singles) were surprisingly good. Demos made us stop talking and just sit there and listen. Magic Man was my favorite, I think.

I just bought the box set from Amazon - it's a $23 "cyber Monday" deal for the next few hours.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 26 November 2012 17:08 (eleven years ago) link
ooh tempting

I got a gift certificate for my birthday so it was a no brainer.

Amazon must have shipped it from the same town because this came today. La Lechera wasn't kidding about the demos. Astounding. 5 songs in and already totally worth $23.

Only bummer is not getting the Zep bonus CD. Such is life.

Watched the DVD tonight. They were damn good live in 1976. Damn good.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 06:27 (eleven years ago) link
God, what I would give for a remastered/mixed version of the 1985 s/t album. It's the thinnest sound ever.

On this terrific choogle of a catalog.

While investigating how they got from A to B, I stumble across this:
"This Man Is Mine" (1982)
...a supposed hit that I don't remember at all. And it's so oddly uncharacteristic, maybe suggesting a Rickie Lee Jones influence?

this video, simple as it is, brings me such joy. the hair! Ann glaring at the screen with badass menace. spins! flashy clothes!

Alone carries a colossal emotional heft, which eclipses everything else in their catalogue, it's seriously silly.
