I personally find this show to actually be pretty good if you can look past the techincal difficulties with the p.a system (once you get past "We're Gonna Groove", the show and band start to pick up steam),the p.a problems are really beyond the bands control, so the bands performance shouldn't be faulted because of something that's beyond their control.
If the band played this show sloppily, then that's a different story, they would indeed be at fault for a bad performance, but something like faulty equipment shouldn't be held against the group.
I don't know if there was a specific reason or cause for the Baltimore Police Department for being present at concerts but according to several testimonies from fans who have attended Zeppelin's Baltimore shows in 1969 and 1970 the Baltimore police have been present at both shows and have indeed been physical with the crowd.
On the back cover art for Tarantura 2000's release "Live From Tear Gassed Place", a mention of the gig from Dave Lewis and Simon Pallet's "Led Zeppelin Concert File" is printed on the cover with Jimmy recalling an incident with a female fan from Baltimore:
A Girl In Baltimore asked me if she could come backstage and watch the show from there.
I thought this was the usual line from a girl just wanting to hang around with us.
So I said: "Why don't you go and sit in your seat and watch us?"
She said: "Because last time at this place, the cops tear-gassed the place, and I'm frightened of being out there."
That's the sort of tension we keep finding. There's such a lack of understanding and trust between the audience and the police.
For those that may not know, there are 3 known audience recording tape sources in circulation, and one piece of film footage of the performance (2 minutes of silent colour 8mm film footage).
The first and second tape sources of this concert are fair to good quality audience recordings, and are quite incomplete, the 3rd tape source is currently the most superior sounding recording of all the tape sources in circulation and the most complete.
The 3rd tape source sounds like it was taped very close to the stage, and has a pretty decent mix of the instruments, although Roberts vocals are the most dominant (when the p.a is actually working).
The reason we decided to work from a boot release instead of a low gen tape source of the 3rd tape source is because we actually prefered the sound quality of the Apple release over the low gens, it has more clairity to it and we thought it could really benefit from slight tweaking here and there.
What we've done to make this project:
- We've tried to balance the instruments as much as possible, and add things to the mix the original was lacking (more low end, more clarity for the rest of the instruments, bring out hidden things in the recording like cheers and audience banter).
- We've tried to balance the volume (originally the first disc was running too hot, and the second disc was running too low).
- We've tried to bring out the acoustics of the venue as best we can.
In regards to the title:
The title idea came to use while we were reading the review of this show posted on Argenteumastrum.com, it was their saying that the bands performance of "We're Gonna Groove" was "Flacid", and that got the ball rolling on the title choice.
The band (particularly Robert) were having extreme trouble projecting themselves throughout the night because of the dysfunctional p.a system, so we came up with the title "Projectile Dysfunction" from that review.
We thought it sounded clever, and made a connection to the performance in some way, so we thought we'd use it. Hope everyone here will enjoy this.
Cheers
