Ginger - freezer never shared his recording which is apparently different from the one that was shared on Dime. He never even encoded his tape - that is waht he wrote on Dime. The shared version is the same that has circulated here for a while, maybe a bit better?[/QUOTE]

Thanks a lot for this!!
the pitch seems a bit low (at least in my ears :) ) but it sounds better than the Gypsy Eye version

Sorry, just a question, but this comes from the Freezer master tape or it's another version?
Thanks!

It's the Freezer source (the only known source for this show), but according to him it's at least 10 gens from the master.

Sad news. Got this in Dime's mailing list today:

Freezer Obituary from Collectors Music Review

"It is with sadness that Collectors Music Review must announce the recent passing of Art "Mr. Freezer" Parr. A life-long resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, his impeccable musical taste and audio acumen have blessed collectors with some of the most impressive live documents from the seventies. He had been suffering from poor health in recent years.

"He fell in love with live music about 1970 when he was an eyewitness to The Doors final concert with Jim Morrison at The Warehouse in New Orleans on December 12th. One of his earliest tapes is the Led Zeppelin show in New Orleans on August 29th, 1971, eight months after The Doors. Described as low fidelity and very poor sound quality, he never bothered to share it with anyone.

"But others he did. The Led Zeppelin Baton Rouge show from February 28th, 1975 is among his very best and has been released many times in the past.

"Other popular Freezer tapes include the Rolling Stones' June 27th, 1972 show in Mobile, AL, and the June 1st, 1975 concert in Baton Rouge, Eric Clapton's New Orleans show in 1974 and Baton Rouge concert in 1976, and, in latter years, the March 1973 Led Zeppelin show in New Orleans, Queen's first appearance there on their first tour, and David Bowie's Baton Rouge show on the Stage tour in 1978.

"Although he traded frequently, he also vowed never to circulate certain shows, claiming he wanted to keep them for personal enjoyment. The most often cited tape is Led Zeppelin's May 19th, 1977 show in Baton Rouge, an appearance that has some audience shot video footage but no complete audio.

"The last time I spoke to Parr he told me he was in the process of selling his home and throwing away his tape collection. We'll most likely never hear those tapes."

Like him or not, the man was passionate about his hobby. Maybe he did have that tape bonfire after all .. ?

RIP.

St. Bernard is my home town. I don't remember this at all. But I was 9 years old in 1974. Many years later I would work here.
