If this date can be confirmed, it may well establish exactly when he had gone to Jimmy's houseboat in Pangbourne. In 1988 interview with Chris Tetley, Robert said he grabbed a beat up old suitcase and went to Pangbourne about two weeks after their first meeting, staying the night before returning to Birmingham the next day. We've establish Page went to see Bonham perform on 7/31/68 so it must be sometime in July 1968, but the Lemon Tree fanzine reports it was Aug 4, 1968. ...mikezep61 previously inquired on this some time ago.... Although I can't find any information on Time Rose performing at The Factory in Birmingham, just an unconfirmed appearance at Birmingham Mothers with no mention of a date, there are two dates referenced for Bonham playing with Chris Farlowe and The Thunderbirds at The Factory on 10 & again on 17 August 1968 along with a further reference to say Bonham would continue to play with them until late August. https://garagehangover.com/chris-farlowe-thunderbirds-gigs-1963-1969/ Unfortunately none of this helps to pin-point a date for Plant's return trip from Pangbourne.

Plant77 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I love reading and learning about young Robert Anthony Plants early years, the thought that Robert would’ve not become the singer he is without his support of the other 3 might be misleading. He had that voice and was fortunate to have landed with Page, Jones, and certainly John Henry. This along with Striders concert memories and SAJ threads on Mysteries are my absolute favorites and what gave me the confidence to join this fantastic forum with all of the wonderful people who have made this platform what it is. To all of you guys thanks for making this community so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
