Hoodie girl from The Song Remains the Same film
Old Man replied to Ana Pearce's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
Ana, if you will forgive me for getting a little personal, how old were you then? -
This is perhaps the silliest post ever made here. I love the Woodstock snackes during DAC in the 1975 US tour. This few minutes is Zep showing why they were the kings. I don't have the vocubulary to describe the feeling that comes from listening to these unmixed shows that we have. Wow!!

It is a good movie. From 1975. George C. Scott is in it and some other big names. I would say it has an all star cast. Check it out.

I recently saw the 1975 movie The Hindenburg. The movie, like Led Zeppelin, were both a little before my time. I was a teen of the '80's, but I was still a huge Zep fan in the 9 80's and beyond. The Hindenburg was described in the movie as, "The Zep." I wondered how many high school, and maybe a few college, kids at the time joked they loved "The Zep" but maybe not that Zep. High school students, by nature, are automatically sarcastic. I am sure some made the connection and had a wise comment about it.

Nitpicking Page (The quest for the best performance of 1975)
Old Man replied to gibsonfan159's topic in Led Zeppelin Live
March 05, 1975, Dallas!! The whole band was on fire that night. Moby Dick, which I don't always listen to, is Bonzo at his very best. This show - should have - been recorded legally. Thank goodness we have a well recorded boot of this show. -
About a month ago I was listening to Ozzy's Boneyard on SiriusXM, channel 38, and I heard Tea For One. That is the first, and so far the only, time I have ever heard Tea For One played on any kind of radio. It is also the only time I have heard it unless I was listening to my copy of Presence. Sorry I am just now sharing this but I have been too busy to breathe.

True there!

Although this is still true today, my main focus of this post involves them during the Led Zeppelin years. The thing I have always admired second most about Led Zeppelin, first place would be their music, is their tastes in opulence. They had the best tastes in drink, food, hotels, clothing, vehicles, travel (airplanes), females,...and things I just can't mention here. I caught flack in my younger years, I am on the edge of 54 now, for my tastes in music clashing with my tastes in clothes, food, and drink. It has always made me feel good knowing the the boys in Zeppelin enjoyed the finer things of life too. To me, a lot of the metal bands of the '80's, which was my era, were just postering but Zep was the real deal all around! Zep caused me to experience two things which were both amazing. Those two things were staying at the Royal Orleans before it was swallowed by the corporate hotel monster and Dom Perignon. These two things, Dom Perignon and the Royal Orleans, were both life highlights to me and I am so much a richer person for these two experiences. If I could say two things to Jimmy they would be: 1. Led Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I was a young man and they always be. 2. I have long admired your tastes in - EVERYTHING!!! P.S. I want the folks here to know that my younger self had enough sense to stop just short of sampling the cocaine and the heroin.

Thank you so much!

Does anybody know of any good shows from the Spring 1970 US tour? I know this was a difficult time for the band in my part of the US. I am asking because they did play Macon, GA, one time and I was hoping for a good quality US show as close to this show as possible. Thank you.

Other bands covering Zep's songs. Live and in the studio.

Zep Hed you're right and I know I should have a different attitude. I'm funny in that I said for years Zep was my favorite kind of music and my favorite band. Then hard-rock/metal was my second favorite kind of music and The Doors and GN'R tied for second place. Honestly, I don't have an excuse for myself. With me Zep wasn't at the top of the list because they had their own category and their own list. It was like I considered them above the list with others. Well,...still do. I don't have an excuse for myself. I really don't. I'm a hardcore fan. -

Hello everyone. I first want to start by saying to please forgive me if I posted this question in the wrong section. I wasn't sure where to post it. Does anybody know when the Brandy & Coke/TUF video was shot? I love the girl in the '70's gym shorts. I would appreciate any info on this video that anyone has. Thank you all so much.
