Boleskinner Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Well it's August and still no sign of new music or a tour from Jimmy. He said in virtually every interview for the remasters that he was warming up last year and would do something in 2017. I really hope he never again mentions doing something new, unless he actually means it. He owes us nothing, but please stop with the "next year I.." It really is beyond a joke now and fans have had a gut full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box of Jimmy's Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Billy Fuller, Bass player for the Sensational Space Shifters, want to come off the road and concentrate on producing, so Jimmy Page is going to join them to help them out on bass.

TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Well I assume it does take quite a while for a 73 year old to get "match fit". I don't have much else to do but sit around and wait. And for someone of his stature I have all the time in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsj Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 he's had 14 years of "warming up" so far. how many more years to get match fit I wonder? the words "boy" "cried" and "wolf" spring to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boleskinner Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Page has been a producer and archivist for the last x years, not a musician. His latest knob-twiddling exercise is the remixing of the 1968 Yardbirds album, Live at the Anderson theatre, essentially another reissue. "Anyone remember laughter...?"

If he actually cleans up and releases that show it will be a very worthwhile release. Such a great show that CBS butchered so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other artists of his generation - Neil Young, McCartney, etc - manage it with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

76229 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I bet most of his mental energy in 2017 has been spent thinking up ideas for the anniversary next year. If there's isn't some "suddenly discovered long lost" Zep recording in time for the 50th anniversary, I'll eat my guitar strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercurious Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Yardbirds '68 just went on pre-sale today!!! Thank you, Jimmy! He's got the Live at Anderson Theater tapes remastered without the fake audience sounds and also those 1968 tracks that have been scattered over Cumular Limit, Ultimate Yardbirds and other Yardbirds anthologies but never presented all in one place with Page's involvement. Needless to say, this is big, particularly the Anderson Theater material. The only thing really missing here is the VU cover "I'm Waiting for the Man", which I guess wasn't recorded in NY?? At long last, the Yardbirds album that was but would never be!! Needless to say, I placed my order!! http://shop.jimmypage.com/products/599232 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

76229 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 As mentioned on another thread, Jimmy is in the latest Mojo music mag, talking extensively about the late period Yardbirds and specifically about the forthcoming "Yardbird '68" live release. http://www.mojo4music.com/magazine/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
