The source is the usual fair/good audience recording with the guitar dominating the sound and Plant remaining in the background for better part of the concert. This may not be an ideal choice for beginners but more seasoned collectors will most likely appreciate this upgraded version.
Some people may again disagree with the tape being EQ'd but the main motivation for this was to remove the excessive tape hiss that exists on the master itself. As the EQ'ing was done very carefully, I believe that the results should satisfy the majority of fans (well, at least usually so critical Tomislaw was happy with it :). The 44.1 kHz 1st>DAT that has been around for about a year now was taken from the same 1st gen tape but for this tree I arranged a new 48 kHz transfer (sound quality wise there is probably no need to upgrade from 44.1 kHz version but at least the 48 kHz transfer is now made available).
