The Garden Tapes site updated to include new Zep DVD, live album

This news originally appeared in an edition of the newsletter "On This Day In Led Zeppelin History."

For the last few years, one of the very few Web sites I ever linked to at my home page was "The Garden Tapes," one fan's comprehensive study of cuts and edits made within the Led Zeppelin film and soundtrack, The Song Remains the Same. Now, the site is expanded to include all of the band's officially released live recordings, including 1997's BBC Sessions and the two recent releases, How the West Was Won and DVD.

The DVD pages, added just Monday, reveal which recordings come from which dates and whether any overdubs, mixes or edits were made in compiling the releases. Of course, there were, and author Eddie Edwards noticed them! Visit "The Garden Tapes" at http://www.thegardentapes.co.uk/ and tell Eddie that Steve "The Lemon" sent you.

About the author

Steve "The Lemon" Sauer is a writer and musician based in Boca Raton, Fla., who has dedicated a portion of his life researching the history of rock group Led Zeppelin and monitoring the ongoing careers of the band's surviving members. Although he was barely a year old when Led Zeppelin broke up and it took him until his teen years to appreciate the music, it didn't take long to make up for it.

Steve is currently a contributing writer and consultant for Get the Led Out, a weekly syndicated radio program hosted by Carol Miller and syndicated in 100 U.S. markets including New York and Los Angeles. He also provides content for a Web site associated with the radio show, www.LedZepOnline.com.

In 2007, Steve launched Lemon Squeezings: Led Zeppelin News to cover the lead-up to the band's reunion concert at the end of that year. Since then, he has closely examined every rumor of a followup tour since then, often dispelling or clarifying misinformation perpetrated by the mainstream media. Using his journalistic training, Steve has also uncovered some facts and accounts previously unreported elsewhere.

At age 18, he began publishing On This Day In Led Zeppelin History, a daily newsletter detailing the interactions of members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and their manager, Peter Grant. The newsletter is located at www.OnThisDayInLedZeppelinHistory.com.

He enjoys uncovering stories and has employed various methods to communicate those stories to Led Zeppelin's vast fan base, utilizing terrestrial radio and the many facets of the Internet: from Usenet newsgroups to plain e-mail and now Facebook and Twitter. Steve also connects with live audiences when performing as a backup vocalist and keyboard player with various bands, including past onstage appearances with three cover or tribute acts performing the music of Led Zeppelin.

Do you have a news tip to share with Steve? Do you have something you would like him to write about? Would you like to book him for a speaking engagement? He can be contacted by e-mail at Steve at LedZeppelinNews.com.
