I would hate to be in charge of all that physical cash, very stressful. Meanwhile back at the hotel...

Hi Steve, I'd kill for a copy as well, and any others if that's doable.

Handsome.

Noel Monk was VH's tour manager and he bitterly complained that the manager should've been out on the road more. Perhaps not to the extent of Grant but more than a few shows. I'll have to re-read as to why, it's in his latest book.

Are you guys talking about the difference between the album and film?

I remember reading that too.

Uh...pretty sure the song's about a fabric.

Cashmere

I've always felt this way too, George was huge. Also as great as the Beatles were I don't think they were ever totally in the lead of innovation but whatever they took or learned from they absolutely made it better or just damn good. Dylan and others were doing the introspective songwriting thing before them, same with flower power and psychedelia. They added heavier guitar and more guitar solos after the guitar hero thing was already established by others. I think there's other examples of this type of thing but I can't remember right now.

Not sure if I agree with that on the marquee. I appreciate the sentiment and all but that's not a good message. Is that a Cornell quote?

True but picking up a guitar around the house and playing with a band are 2 different beasts. You can practice 8 hours a day by yourself and still feel sluggish with the band. Still no excuse though, I guess they somehow could've still rehearsed with just the 3 of them to stay in shape. Edit: Someone might've mentioned this before but for Robert and perhaps all of them, no one knew how long it would last so maybe it was balls out all the time. I guess by 72 maybe they should've known they would be around for awhile. Robert did mention lots of times about tea, lemon and honey, maybe that was the extent of knowledge of vocal care back then. Like put a hat on or you'll catch a cold, viruses don't care about hats.

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.

Do you think every now and then Page whips out the suits on a frolicky Saturday night? Carrying a bow, pointing at things. His girlfriend may not approve but her friends might.

And it's not "just the money", you're talking kids educations, college, insurance, etc. It's way too much to give away.
