For anyone who's heard the bootlegs from the '77 shows: how did the group (was it Page's wizardry with effects?) get that awesome shimmering chorus-octave-kind-of-thing going on Plant's voice in some of the songs?
 
Or serious wow-and-flutter on those portable recorders of the time!

:D

Those 2 guys who thought their recordings would sound better if they put them together?:D
 
LOL we've fallen through the basket Bruce.

But I think it really was a flanger - or just bad recording :)
 
flanger?

Can a flange effect make that kind of sound? When they applied the effect to his voice, he sounds like two or three voices. Can flange do that? My guitar flanger never gets that kind of sound. I know it seems academic, but I'd like to create that effect on some tracks.

Oh, and my apartment doesn't allow pets, so weasels are completely out of the question!

Thanks.
 
I do now one thing - they really did like to use flangers. Also, people tended to use a bunch of analogue echo units, like Vox, Watkins etc. A couple of those with short delay would give you an effect like that.
