  1. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/coverdale-page-box-set/ Interesting that Coverdale says he filmed everything from day one and is talking about remixing the tracks as well. Could make for a really entertaining box set.
  2. Regarding any sort of bonus material in a remaster, I would like to hear versions of the songs stripped of their big production and some live stuff from the Japanese dates. will never happen though.
  3. She's a lady. lol. Elkie Brooks (born Elaine Bookbinder, 25 February 1945)[3] is an English singer, a vocalist with the bands Dada and Vinegar Joe, and later a solo artist. She gained her biggest success in the late 1970s and 1980s and has been nominated twice for Brit Awards. She is known for her powerful husky voice and hit singles such as "Pearl's a Singer", "Lilac Wine", "Don't Cry Out Loud", "Fool (If You Think It's Over)", and "No More the Fool", and top-selling album Pearls. She is generally referred to as the "British Queen of Blues".[4][5] By April 2012, Brooks had released more albums that had reached the top 75 of the UK Albums Chart than any other solo British female artist, but this has since been equalled by Kate Bush.
  4. Harassment and trolling? Are you pulling my plonker? You said I had put posted "incorrect" information and I was just defending myself. If anything you were having a go at me. And I don't remember having a run in with SAJ, luvlz2 and JustJill. The only person I'v had a ding-dong with is tmtomh and we agreed to move on. If you can't handle robust debate maybe you should go on the Elkie Brooks forums. Chill out, dude. B
  5. What incorrect information? I was talking about HERE and NOW reasons for Plant not entertaining a reunion - basically his vocal abilities at 69 - and you started going on about Bath rehearsals 32 years ago. The thread is titled "LED ZEPPELIN'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY PLANS?", that should be a big clue to the timeframe we're talking about.
  6. Emm, the title of this thread is "LED ZEPPELIN'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY PLANS?" I was responding to a comment about the here and now, not about Bath in 1986. I think you got a bit confused. Not to worry.
  7. I don’t really see your point here. the only time he briefly contemplated a reunion was bath in 86, which lasted all of a few weeks; until the reality of working again with Page kicked in. Plant’s voice in 86 and 90 is worlds away from what it is now, and even in 2007 when they had to drop the key down for some songs. we’re discussing his refusal to do a reunion in recent times. Not 32 years ago!
  8. What a load of old tosh. He actually cares about the band’s legacy and doesn’t want to do it a disservice, that’s why he’s not reformed the band. The zeppelin songs he plays in his solo bands are designed to suit his voice now and not the banshee wail of old. hes aged gracefully and done his own thing but fans like you can’t handle it. youve still got the old records if you want to reminisce. And plant is actually very witty and insightful, although his trademark British humour is sometimes lost on those outside the UK.
  9. The BBC are releasing Last of the Summer Wine on Blu-ray if that cheers you up? ;-)
  10. Regarding the "Led Zeppelin experience", sounds more like a multimedia/memorabilia event to me rather than anything to do with live releases, or maybe the suits just didn't want any confusion over what would be a bonafide Zep event during their 50th celebrations.
  11. Seems like there's a bit of conflicting info from Page and Plant. Page saying a new live release, plus releases for the next ten years. Plant saying there's only odds and sods left and not even enough for an album. The usual Zep chaos!
  12. As long as Jonsey's onions are in a glass cabinet, I'm there! That's not a double entendre by the way. Wasn't really into these music exhibitions, but saw one in Melbourne recently on the history of Aussie rock'n'roll and it was really well done.
  13. Plants comments about struggling to find something people haven’t heard before, suggests that tarting up bootlegs is not on the radar. at least for this years release, anyway.
  14. To me, a different view from previous live concerts released means either a smaller, intimate venue or a different time period. Taking into account Plant's comments about it relating to before it all got big, it points towards the 68 Scandinavian tour. But really who knows. It's all Inspector Morse at this stage and we're fumbling around with pints of bitter trying to work out who dunnit.
  15. Fair dos. Attending a concert in 1975 and listening to a soundboard/multi-track, or watching mostly static footage, decades later is like comparing apples and oranges. I'm judging it solely on the performance and comparing it to other concerts I've listened to or watched, especially some of the good dates on the 75 North American tour like Vancouver. I'm sure you had a great night and it was an amazing experience.
  16. I think the EC shows are over-rated. I think some of the 80 tour is under-rated. I particularly like SIBLY from that tour and All my Love.
  17. Each to their own. Not doubting its rarity and collectibility, but in terms of songs performed and the evolution of the band, I prefer 73 onwards. And the fact that we haven’t had any official live audio-only releases post-73, adds to the appeal.
  18. Technically it’s the “new yardbirds” I guess. If it is from the 68 Scandinavian tour then I’ll be kinda disappointed, was hoping for some later period stuff, or a chronology, although I guess that was unrealistic. hopwfully that might follow in due course.
  19. Typical cryptic Plant reply, but to me it points to the live release being from one of their very early concerts: Regarding Jimmy Page’s revelation that that he’s readying new, unheard Zeppelin material, Plant said: “There’s a lot of stuff rolling around. It’s a bit like water in the bottom of a paddle boat. . . It should capture the whole impact that we were oblivious to in the beginning where it was like a ground moving, ground shaking thing going on and interestingly we were so close into it that we didn’t even feel the tremors to begin with. And that’s a great thing before bands lock into a public persona or anything like that. So that kick off, 50 years ago, was something great, unexplainable, and so full of power and energy. It was brilliant.” Full intv: https://www.wxhc.com/?p=36847
  20. Completely agree. In a nutshell, they're too old now. They made amends for all the botched get-togethers - Atlantic, Live Aid - at the 02 gig, which was well received by fans and critics. Best to go out on a high. Page spent far too many years waiting for Plant to call and after O2 and should have done some soundtrack work or some experimental studio albums. He needed to go sideways, instead of trying to stage the second coming.
  21. Were there cameras there? I've posted previously on this forum that a source, close to SHOWCO, told me he viewed 20-minutes of high quality rehearsal footage from 1977.
  22. Mate, as I said, in my post "All the decent stuff could have fitted on a double CD." As I recall, we've already had a lengthy ding-dong over the remasters, so I guess we'll need to agree to disagree.
  23. Yeah, I listened carefully and heard slightly more hi-hat in rock 'n' roll. I also heard the ring of the cash register as Page dished up a truly mediocre set of "alternate" mixes that are almost identical or missing vocals. All the decent stuff could have fitted on a double CD. A large percentage of it was fluff. Studio Magik in the best possible quality was what fans wanted.
