Before the band’s 50th Anniversary celebration officially begins in September, Led Zeppelin will continue their reissue campaign with a new edition of their celebrated live album 'How The West Was Won', originally released in 2003, featuring newly remastered audio, which was done under the supervision of Jimmy Page.
The reissue will hit the stores on 23 March and will be released for the first time on vinyl and blu-ray audio, along with super deluxe boxed set, CD, and digital versions.
This live album highlights the best performances from Led Zeppelin’s legendary concerts at the Los Angeles Forum and Long Beach Arena on June 25 and 27, 1972.
Melded together and sequenced to replicate a single concert from beginning to end, the three-CD and four-LP collections capture the band at the height of its formidable powers.
Standouts include a 25-plus minute version of “Dazed And Confused” and a 21-minute medley based around “Whole Lotta Love.”
The performances also capture the band introducing songs from its then-unreleased album Houses Of The Holy, which would be released nine months later.
