JeffLZ Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 If this has been posted before I am sorry but I did not see it. Wasn't there a lawsuit between Zeppelin and Grant over royalties at some point in the 80s or 90s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurious Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) The wiki-page says there was a lawsuit, but I've not read that before. I'm on the lookout for the Grant book, which would solve all of these mysteries. There is a thread on here about the Grant book from a few years back but it devolves into discussion of the incident in Oakland. Grant cleaned himself up in the late 1980s and was reportedly seen with Jimmy attending a Frank Sinatra performance in London in 1989. This was apparently the first time in years Grant had been seen in public. I would tend to lean toward Jimmy being frustrated with everybody at one point or another in the 1980s, including himself, so if he and Grant were ever at odds, that didn't last. As for Richard Cole - what's said in LA should stay in LA, unless it's something good. Edited March 9, 2017 by Mercurious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's all that stuffed behind glass under the liquor cabinets? A hundred and one baby dolls. The souls of all the songs he produced? Keith Relf's youth? One shudders to think what he's trying to say there. Very creepy. Here's the video that popped up after that one ... looks pretty interesting.

FL6 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I tell you this, I'd fucking love to hang with Peter Grant, in any capacity. It's too bad he passed away. Great guy, interesting, down to earth, great sense of humour. It'd be a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 His kids are still on the books today. Warren and his other daughter still receive a cut of Zeppelin royalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter or his kin have always had their name down on shares on at least one Zeppelin board of directors sheet. Jimmy nor another member of the band and it's subsidiaries wouldn't have a leg to stand on if they wanted Peter off the books anyway. The man who well and truely Led Zeppelin to the air above the din. Edited March 23, 2017 by TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffLZ Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I've read a few times that Col Tom Parker wanted Peter Grant to manage a UK tour of Elvis. Did Col Parker really ask Grant this and what was Grant's response? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, it was circa 1976 and merely an inquiry on the possibility of doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross62 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 From 1970 onwards,Stone The Crows were managed by Peter Grant; Leslie Harvey,guitarist for that band,who a few days previous had been fatally electrocuted on stage and was the brother of Alex Harvey had been living with Maggie Bell in an apartment at Led Zeppelin's Swansong building in the King's Road.Neither the Crows nor Alex were earning much money and couldn't afford to bring people down from Glasgow for the funeral."Peter Grant was an honourable man though" Maggie Bell remembers."He paid for all the aunts and uncles to get the train."

drowan Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Here's a later pic of Grant with the band in May, 1969 along with their attorney Steve Weiss: For more color on Grant, take a look at the Forum online comments associated with the Carnegie Hall concert held on October 17, 1969. The concert came together through some intense persuasion made by Peter Grant and arranged through rock concert promoter, Howard Stein. Here's the link to some additional content on Peter Grant on the Carnegie Hall forum pages: Edited March 6, 2019 by drowan Added the link to Carnegie Hall forum pages.

According to my notes, the original air date was 9/25/99. It was probably rebroadcast when How The West Was Won was released and whomever uploaded it doesn't realize it's a few years older than that.
