  1. ZEP - Houston - Feb 27, 1975 Ist night of the second leg of the 75 USA Tour - No recordings have EVER surfaced from that gig - and it was a barnburner....!
  2. Man, would I like to finally see (and hear) a Soundboard Release of the never heard Houston 1975 show.....! First ever classical piano interlude by JPJ during "No Quarter"... Repeated again the following night in Baton Rouge on Feb. 28, 1975 Photo: Mark Bowman Images - Houston 1975
  3. Just checked the Genesis Publications site, the book appears to be officially SOLD OUT... Those final 50 copies went pretty fast-
  4. TESLA Rocks!! Plain and simple.... Totally agree with you, Charles J..... (And, MAN, are they good live.....!)
  5. Was there on the front row, show was between 3 and a half and 3 hours 45 minutes, first show after the release of Physical Graffiti, and the first show of the 2nd leg of the 1975 USA tour..... They had been off for almost 2 weeks, they got into Houston the night before for a band dinner and were well rested.... Plant's voice had two weeks off too.... This show is mentioned in particular in the Davis "1975 USA Tour" Zeppelin book.... They ripped the roof off the joint that night..... Even Robert looked down at us and said, "This is a really good gig".... He said something about a lot of happy smiling faces and good energy in the crowd...
  6. Houston 75 Soundboard.... no recording of any kind has surfaced to date........
  7. The Houston 1975 gig at the Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston, Texas was fully General Admission... no seats on the floor..... (We celebrate the 40th anniversary of that show on Friday - 1st show AFTER the release of PG) There was a long line at the main doors and for some reason they opened the side doors first away from the line.. I was one of the first ones in the door and SPRINTED as fast as I could to center mike..... The crowd was not violent or aggressive, even for a GA show, and Robert made a really nice comment about how great the vibe was in the crowd that night... They had a few "rowdy" nights on the East Coast during the first leg of the 75 tour.... After a 2 week break for them, this was the first show of the 2nd leg of the US Tour.... Robert's voice was fully rested and THEY TORE IT UP...! Also, there was no security barrier, like they have now.... I could have reached up and tapped Robert on the foot... After 3 hours and 45 minutes, it was over..... They were spent - we were spent..... No audience bootleg or soundboard of this gig exists to this day.....!
  8. RIP Mac..... Your post says it all, Strider.... I am really going to miss him.....! What a man.......!! Just had dinner with him the night before Thanksgiving - he couldn't have been any happier or healthier looking.. He couldn't wait to get back to England for the holidays to spend time with family...... Fate seems to provide some really "WTF" moments, eh?
  9. Well Scylla - that photo pretty well sums it up.........! WOW! What an AWESOME photograph!!
  10. Led Zeppelin Super Deluxe Box Numbers Led Zeppelin I - 13394 Led Zeppelin II - 01829 Led Zeppelin III - Backordered!
  11. Jimmy's guitar in the photo is a 12 string Fender electric..... It was probably a "loaner" for the end of ceremony "'celebrity jam" with Jeff Beck, as I have never seen him photographed with it or any guitar quite like that.... Mr. Steve A Jones might have a little more info on the details
  12. Looks like Phil Carlo to me.... Good guy....
  13. These photos are GREAT, Deb! Good job!! All the best to you- Mark
  14. AHHH, the Seventies....... Ann Wilson of Heart Houston - Little Queen Tour - 1977 Photo: Mark Bowman Images ENJOY!
