    Can people just stop with this Tom Brady coming out of retirement, nonsense. As great as he was, I doubt that someone seriously wants to see Tom--who's pushing 50 I believe--taking snaps under center...  :rolleyes:

    Who is putting this speculation out there?

    yesterday my wife( who is recovering from kidney cancer, kidney and tumor removed march 14) and I got to go to a wedding tasting filling in for my daughter and future son in law who were traveling to texas for business, anyways suffice to say we tried everything from appetizers to some of the main dishes of beef, chicken fish and pasta not to mention an assortment of shot sized drinks! My wife would take small bite and drank a sip and I would gladly drink the rest, fantastic time, she wrote down  all her notes with ratings to give to the kids, decisions decisions decisions 😄

    Sounds like an exciting happy time. Hope the guy proves worthy of your daughter.

  3. Looking up the astronomical charts for 1970 shows that the sun set in Bath at 9:30pm on June 28, 1970. Even allowing for how the camera usually makes it seem lighter than it really is...I remember when Tiger Woods was playing in near-dark conditions even though it still looked like the sun was out watching on TV...it seems obvious that the band went on some time before sunset, probably around 8:30pm. Still a great story, if slightly apocryphal.

  4. It is a shame Norm McDonald wasn't alive to rejoice yesterday. But it's also a shame Nicole and Ron aren't still alive. More proof that life isn't fair.

    Before the verdict.

    After the verdict.

    While listening to a bunch of versions of Celebration Day from 1971, I realized it is my favorite song the band played in 1971. That made me think about which songs I like the best from the rest of the years. Here’s my list. What’s yours?

    1969 - As Long As I Have You

    1970 - SIBLY

    1971 - Celebration Day

    1972 - Heartbreaker

    1973 - No Quarter

    1975 - Dazed and Confused

    1977 - Achilles Last Stand

    1980 - Trampled Underfoot

    Pretty interesting list, Steve. I am with you on "Celebration Day"...I frequently binge on "Celebration Day" from 1971. I wish they had kept that song in that arrangement for the 1972 tour. I would have died to hear that at the Forum or Long Beach Arena in 1972. Not that I am scoffing at the 1973 "Celebration Day"...it was quite a treat to hear that and it gave the concert a real power surge coming after "Rock and Roll" like that.

    But the 1971 CDs, with Plant's voice still intact and with Jimmy playing it on the 12-string and going wild in the outro solos and with Jones and Bonzo going thermonuclear on the rhythm, are on a whole 'nother level.
