Led Zeppelin's How the West Was Won catches the band at full throttle on the West Coast in 1972, presented here as the CD edition of that blistering live document.

Assembled by Jimmy Page from two California shows, at the LA Forum and Long Beach Arena, the album first surfaced in 2003 after three decades in the vaults. It landed as a revelation, proof that the band's stage power in this period matched, and often outran, the studio records that made them famous.

The setlist plays like a greatest hits run with the brakes cut. Immigrant Song and Heartbreaker crash out of the gate with Robert Plant's voice at its most elastic, while Stairway to Heaven gets a reading full of space and patience. Then comes Dazed and Confused, stretched into a sprawling, bow-scraped epic, and Moby Dick hands the spotlight to John Bonham for a drum showcase that remains the stuff of legend.

John Paul Jones holds it all together, switching between bass and keys with such ease that the acoustic stretch of Going to California and That's the Way feels like a natural breather rather than a gear change.

For anyone who wants to hear four musicians locked in at their peak inside a packed arena, this is the live Zeppelin set to reach for first.
