Notes: Empress Valley criticize labels who use their Led Zeppelin soundboards and make improvements on them. However they were guilty of the same act regarding the Rolling Stones 1981 Tattoo You soundboards. Many shows were initially released by Dog N Cat only to be copied. Fuckin’ Wonderful is a straight copy of the first two discs of Executive Action (Dog N Cat DAC-022) with identical sound. DAC presented the two Dallas shows on four discs but EV focuses upon the Halloween performance, which is the better of the two. The sound quality is excellent on this and it is a good alternative to the DAC.

Both of the Dallas shows were afternoon affairs beginning at twelve noon. With this being their first trip to “the big D” (in Mick’s words) since 1975 and occurring over the Halloween weekend with audience members in costume, the band were determined to have fun. It must have been a bizarre sight to see audience members dressed in Halloween costumes and Mick praises them several times throughout the show. “We’re gonna spend the night trick-or-treating in the lobby of the hotel, so if anybody who wants to come is welcome. You know which hotel it is anyway. What’s the matter Keith? You lost your guitar” he says before “Let’s Spend The Night Together” and trying to explain the delay. It’s at this point where the rains begin and continue throughout the afternoon. “We play rain or shine so get your umbrellas out” Mick laughs.<-(Info taken from collectorsmusicreviews.com).
