Wasn't the show, The Old Grey Whistle Test and the alternate title being "One Day In July" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagefan1972 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Wasn't the show, The Old Grey Whistle Test and the alternate title being "One Day In July" That's correct. Robert: "That was it. It was a day in July, really. Because... in fact, we tried to find a title that would signify that it was just that, wasn't it, you know? "A Day in July" might have been a good title. Bit late in the day to change it". Robert's response comes after the interviewer criticizes the robbery sequence in the film as not fitting in with the rest of the fantasy and concert elements. Robert defends the robbery sequence by saying that it was relevant to that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I know that TSRTS was supposed to just be an instrumental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irg82 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Why is this new trivia section here? I mean, it's cool, but what inspired it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirvana Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I know that TSRTS was supposed to just be an instrumental. Correct! And what was the Original title for that instrumental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Frazho Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Correct! And what was the Original title for that instrumental? Can't swear to this, but I believe the original title was going to be "The Overture." And I'm down with Zep trivia, too. Just might not be a master!

pagefan1972 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 "The Campaign" or "The Overture". Both pretty kick ass titles also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nirvana Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 "The Campaign" or "The Overture". Both pretty kick ass titles also. Very good guys! 100 percent correct! There was going to be a title of "Swan Song" also but that went to their record company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 i didnt remember what the title was called, but i knew it was an instrumental tune prior to Houses of the Holy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramci Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Very good guys! 100 percent correct! There was going to be a title of "Swan Song" also but that went to their record company. I could go on for lenghts about Swan Song but instead, i will ask a new TSRTS - trivia. Question: Before TSRTS, Jimmy was experimenting with multiple overlay guitartracks. He in fact got as far that he made an studio-mixtape - version out of his experiments, only lacking vocals (whether intented or not). What is this song called by fans? WHY is it called such? (I don't know about this one actually!) Extra questions: Why did he not put it to the fifth album and what happened to the song afterwards?

(I don't know about this one actually!) Extra questions: Why did he not put it to the fifth album and what happened to the song afterwards? I feel like your talking about Jennings Farm Blues (Jennings Farm was the name of Robert's home at the time, right?), because I believe (though I could be wrong), that this was Jimmy's first experiment with his famed "guitar army," but I also know of one session from the 5th album that I believe hasn't surface yet (though, again, I could be wrong) called "Slush," though I know nothing more about it. Beyond that... no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramci Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 sorry spatdrastik but I feel like your talking about Jennings Farm Blues (Jennings Farm was the name of Robert's home at the time, right?), because I believe (though I could be wrong), that this was Jimmy's first experiment with his famed "guitar army," but I also know of one session from the 5th album that I believe hasn't surface yet (though, again, I could be wrong) called "Slush," though I know nothing more about it. Beyond that... no idea. ughughgughugh Two topics about this! Yes, that is correct Nathan. Jenning's Farm Blues is apparently Plant's farm name. Page wasn't satisfied with the results in the end and thus he didn't put it on third album. He later reworked the idea first on TSRTS on HOTH - album and reworked the melody of Jennigs Farm Blues to accoustic Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp. These all have been answered in the seperate topic here in Trivia, called "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp." I don't think i can figure out any more questions out of this song. Also: Nathan, apparently Slush was the working title of the Rain Song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
