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

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'm 99 per cent sure I read the studio time was free in return for Zep using it and putting it on the map, so to speak, as they were a huge band and word of mouth would spread.
The studio was new and Sweden wasn't on the map as a recording mecca.
Can't remember where I read it, unfortunately.
I remember reading that too.

A Zeppelin fan should know the correct name of the songs at least. It's "Kashmir". A place. Not a fabric.
Uh...pretty sure the song's about a fabric.

Yes, and yet it was arguably the brilliance of Sir George Martin that was responsible in large part for that, IMHO.
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?

IIRC, their gear had already been shipped to the U.S. before they postponed the tour. Still, you would think Page would have had a spare guitar laying about his house.
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.

I just don't like them very much at all (the Dragon suits). And I agree with you his stage presence is awesome.
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.

In a Richard Cole interview, he claimed one time Bonzo, in 1975, told him he'd just gotten a check for 5 million dollars. In 1975. That's like 20 million today. Imagine giving almost 90% to the government.
Id be an exile tooI
And it's not "just the money", you're talking kids educations, college, insurance, etc. It's way too much to give away.

Agree but leaving for a planned summer tour is one thing... leaving after you, your wife and 2 young kids were almost killed in a horrific car accident is another. I think to call him out for this is wrong.. if he did leave them, reluctantly, no doubt in my mind he left them with people, family and or medics to help out every step of the way..
Also I'm sure it was a joint decision between him and Maureen. They probably weighed everything and thought it was best.

Because they couldn't agree on a format for the new project without Plant.
Plus every headline would be ""Without Plant". They'd be answering more questions on Plant than the project itself. I'm reaching here but who knows.

I liked Round and Round because it's a good pop song (it's a solid go-to drunken/stoned song because of the vocal melody) but I'v never heard any evidence of either guitarist being any good. Sure they can play the thing but is there anything that blows people away? I'm open to references.

Just finished reading the Grant book and he was definitely done, he didn't care at all about lost fortune's. I think the other drummers called and offered their services but that was it.

Totally true. Never said, but the solo for the Rover sounds entirely composed. Jimmy is totally following the chord changes.
Same for the solo in Hot Dog( studio, of course). Live Jimmy never really got the changes right; most country solos you
can't approach like blues solos, you really must change some notes with each chord change. Again, there is not much
info on how exactly these songs were composed or recorded.
ALS was certainly tricky for the rhythm section, and Jimmy's endless overdubs, recording absolutely. Composing sounds
difficult, but again not much info, but prove me wrong. Despite the song's many parts, guitarwise the song is not actually
that technically difficult(live) but studio or live Bonzo may have been challenged, heavy stamina and complex parts.
Yes. Jimmy mentioned IMTOD was tricky in the sense that it's a long song so once they had the structure down it's still a very long take, i mean if you get 3 minutes in and someone makes a mistake then you have to start over. Or as long as Bonhams' track is fine then you could keep that and overdub or punch in the corrections. But if there's lots of bleed then the mistake still might be heard. I would assume the same ALS and others.
I don't find ALS complicated in terms of the number of guitars and parts, I think it's pretty straightforward and quite clean in terms of composition, as in you can hear each part clearly and it's well spaced in the stereo spectrum. There's a lot of open space as far as depth/height/left/right goes. In most verses it drops to only 1 rhythm guitar, then a 2nd for enhancements, but it's not up front and in your face.

I highly doubt the band would have chose to print the full lyrics of Stairway To Heaven on one side of the 4th albums inner sleeve if they had no meaning..
I would say it's simply about one's hope of finding their Stairway To Heaven..
Which is simply a metaphor for one's hope of finding their path to happiness.
Which many of us can often take the wrong path, but their is always a chance to redeem ourselves and get back to the path we are supposed to be on. The lyrics also go into detail, which was mentioned earlier in this thread that the path to happiness (or metaphorically speaking, to heaven) isn't something that can just be bought.
That and Robert seemed to have a particular disdain(?) or irreverence to this song after all that went down with their eventual breakup. Even with the Oakland events I think he mentioned something about being onstage singing Stairway while all this was going on, "all this" as in Bindon and thuggery and violence that was around them. Once again who really knows. But yeah the song meant a lot to them. Come to think of it, I know they all spoke highly of it, pretty sure JPJ said it was his favorite or highest achievement but I don't remember Bonham saying much about it, I'm sure he did though.

Led Zeppelin did make the correct decision to disband due to Bonzo dying, since the sound would not have been Led Zeppelin anymore, as well as him being so close to the members, they were pretty much family. I'm a Led Zeppelinist and a Musician and have to agree with the decision that Page had made in 1980. Led Zeppelin will always be my number 1! All their studio album are great, all live albums, Coda, and studio companion albums, and all performances never put on albums with no errors are superb, all songs! God Bless Them!
Long Live Led Zeppelin!
It was the 3 of them that decided to which Grant agreed they did the right thing. No way it could've went any other way but especially for Plant, that was a knock out punch you don't get up from.
I think what they could've done had JB not passed would be spectacular, if they got their stuff together, along with Grant. Just referencing Page and Bonham's discussions on making a much harder album than ITTOD. Perhaps ITTOD was the wake up call for Jimmy to get his act together. Do some short tours, spend more time in the studio.

Gotta go with 73' for sure, at least with his live playing. The creative aspect off the road I don't know. After 73' they just seemed to get bigger and bigger as a business and as an attraction it just got to be too much.

The quiz got me That's The Way but personally the whole Presence album reminds me of night time and winter. Tea for One for me.

I would hate to be in charge of all that physical cash, very stressful.
