note : source 4 seems to be from the same taper than source 3 (same cuts, same crowd noises), but it's a very different generation tape and it's a bit more complete.

21 - The Battle Of Evermore
These three tracks are from the audience sources only (source 1 and a 30" snippet of the source 3 in NQ), speed corrected. It can be inverted with the 3 matrixed tracks, it will match with the previous/next tracks. This is mostly for those who wouldn't like the matrix, in my opinion the audience is more enjoyable than the dry soundboard.

Extras -> mpg videos :

22 - Achilles Last Stand (9'51)
It's in very poor quality, fair at best, but it's almost complete. The version of the song itself is quite horrible...Page seems to break a string during the solo, so he switches his guitar after the solo for another one which is not tuned for this number (string E down to D : Over The Top tuning) but keeps on playing out of key until the end of the song...
23 - Stairway To Heaven (12'39)
Don't expect to see something else than Plant's hair before the solo (in other words, half of the song is terribly dark). Then it becomes almost enjoyable.
24 - Heartbreaker (4'17, cut in the middle)
a very dark and shaken picture. Features the end of the song, unavailable on audio.
