I saw this coming.

Moby Dick and Dazed and Confused are all it takes to convince. How the West Was Won is one of the few Physical albums I own, and as much as I like LAL, Led Zeppelin come out on top in my opinion.

It's not a fair comparison for me because I bought Live at Leeds when I was like 12 years old and for me, for better or for worse (for better imo) The Song Remains the Same is the quintessential live Zep record. I don't care what the critics say about TSRTS I love it and I love it even more than Live at Leeds. I voted for Live at Leeds for this poll though.

Live at Leeds for me. The witty chat in between songs on LaL is brilliant as well!

I love Live At Leeds but have never heard HTWWW. Is it really that good? It's 3 discs right?

Exactly my thoughts. Love LAL. Personally prefer The Who over Led Zep, but never heard HTWWW so, not really fair for me to vote.

If we're considering entire concerts, I voted West on the basis that I really despise the Tommy set on Leeds. West, while not being an entire concert exactly, still gives a better perspective on what Zep could do as a live band.

Live in Leeds will be replaced by Live in Hull, maybe has been already.

I agree with this. I bought the CD to replace the vinyl. The added songs bring down the overall quality. I need to put them on a MP3 player in the original order.
