Led Zeppelin is set to release a new four-song EP featuring live tracks from “Physical Graffiti” to commemorate the album’s 50th anniversary this year.
The EP, titled “Led Zeppelin Live E.P.,” includes concert recordings from two different performances: one from 1975 and another from 1979. It will be released on Sept. 12.
Originally released in February 1975, “Physical Graffiti” was the band’s first album on their Swan Song label. The double album featured a mix of new tracks and songs from previous sessions.
Tracks from “Led Zeppelin III” (“Bron-Yr-Aur”), “Led Zeppelin IV” (“Down by the Seaside,” “Night Flight,” “Boogie With Stu”), and “Houses of the Holy” (“The Rover,” “Houses of the Holy,” “Black Country Woman”) were paired with newly recorded classics like “Trampled Under Foot” and “Kashmir.”
“It goes from one extreme to the other, but at the same time, it’s very evident that it’s Zeppelin,” Robert Plant said in a press release. “I love the album, and it does work as a double album. There are some real humdinger, roaring tracks.”
The upcoming “Live E.P.” includes “In My Time of Dying” and “Trampled Under Foot” from Led Zeppelin’s 1975 Earl’s Court concert, as well as “Sick Again” and “Kashmir” from their 1979 Knebworth show.
These performances were previously featured on the 2003 Led Zeppelin DVD, but this marks their first release as stand-alone audio tracks.
