Original notes: It was inevitable that this full dress rehearsal would appear in one way or another. The full and uncut dress rehearsal held at Shepperton Studios on 5th December 2007, just five days before the concert has been hoarded for quite a long time.
An edited version, with No Quarter and Misty Mountain Hop both butchered has been in the hands of a few "chosen ones" since the end of 2010. And four songs in lossy MP3 were leaked all over the Internet some months ago. This edited version was subsequently leaked out in the Summer of 2011, and Tarantura released this version (NOT sourced from the download), in a 2 CD package called "The Triumph Rehearsals". The total running time for this title is 100 minutes and 10 seconds.
The Empress Valley version is 108 minutes and 44 seconds. So about 8 minutes was butchered out of the "leaked" release.
Empress Valley put out the full unedited version. the hoarder who had been sitting on this for ages sold the complete version to Empress Valley. For a very tidy sum no doubt.
This release comes in a 4 way jewel case, inside a card slipcase. The 2 CDs of the rehearsals are excellent stereo soundboard.
On the night some songs came out a bit differently to the rehearsals, and there are a few mistakes, but all in all an excellent prelude to the concert itself. As a bonus, EV has added a complete audience recording from the O2 arena.
The sound is reasonable, but unfortunately the taper was surrounded by whoopers, talkers and various other imbeciles, so that is a disappointment. There are a number of excellent recordings that they should have chosen from. This is of course an extremely expensive title. The cost of the rehearsal recording must have been considerable, and the label has to recoup that outlay. That said, it is a very nice thing to have. (Jules McTrainspotter Sept 2011)

Any chance you could post the uncut versions of 'No Quarter' and 'Misty Mountain Hop' from discs 1&2 of this release? Thanks in advance.
The two discs not posted from this EVSD set is the only 'complete' version of the rehearsal currently available.
Can you get us the 1st and 2nd CD's from the Empress Valley 4 disc set? I would also like the uncut versions
of No Quarter/Misty Mountain Hop. Thanks
Just to be clear, you have Never posted the unbutchered version of the 02 rehearsal, but it can be found here[http://rambleonzep.com/hotfile/2007-12-05SwanSongsEV.txt]. And thanks for the non-response Dave. As usual.
