Wish I'd Been There: Zep: 1/9/1970 - Smoking show and I'd be able to relive it on DVD, too. Reading Festival 1980: Rory Gallagher, Di'Anno-era Maiden and a bunch of other NWOBHM bands. Relive: Page and Plant, Boston 7/13/98 - Best concert I've ever been to.

Sorry about your brother. I don't think anyone here is going to be able to help you get approval from the band for the company that's doing your seats to put the Zep symbols on them. However, it is possible to get the symbols on stickers from a number of sellers on eBay, which you could put on the inside front passenger window of your wrangler. That may not be what you were hoping for, but you'll see them whenever you're in the vehicle next to the seat where you're brother would be sitting if he were still here. This is the kind of thing I'm talking about:

You can try contacting an auction house. Bonham's is well known and does rock music auctions. Here's the page where you submit info and images of your items for them to evaluate. https://sell.bonhams.com/ Or you can just list them on eBay and let the market tell you what they're worth. That is probably going to be the quickest way to sell your Dad's things, because auction houses have sales on set days and if you miss one of them you may have to wait months for the next one.

Thanks. I just sent you a message with the link.

I bought a top of the line backpack leaf blower. We had a large pile of very wet leaves that were all matted together after spending the winter under a heavy snowpack and it moved them like they were completely dry. It actually made blowing leaves fun.

I'm glad you're enjoying it. One of my goals with these remasters is to modernize their sound, by which I mean I want them to sound like they were recorded five days ago, not 50 years ago. It doesn't always work (e.g. the remaster of the 8/31/69 show I'm working on still sounds like it was recorded in the late 60's, regardless of what I do to it), but when it works, it adds an immediacy to the show that I really enjoy.

Looks like the author has only written one other rock biography, which was about Warren Zevon. It has good reviews on Amazon, so hopefully this one will turn out well. Has anyone heard if Jason Bonham or anyone else associated with the band was interviewed for the book? The Blabbermouth page doesn't mention anything about who the author talked to.

You can tell the site to stop showing you posts from specific people by hovering over their picture and choosing "Ignore User". You can specify the types of things you want to ignore (posts, messages, etc.) It works well, although you will see a post that was originally blocked if someone else replies to it and quotes the blocked post in their response.

I'm considering buying this. Hopefully it comes in a large shipping container, because I'm going to have to live in that box when my wife kicks me out after she finds out how much I spent on a gong 😃

"Evenings with Led Zeppelin" is the definitive book on their live career. For those of you who missed the first edition of this amazing book, a second edition is going to be released on September 23rd. It's currently available for pre-order on Amazon. I talked to Mike Tremaglio, one of the authors and a long time friend, about it recently and he said there will be 48 new pages and most of the existing pages have been updated. Even if you already have the first edition, this new one sounds like it will be worth picking up, and if you weren't able to get the first one, definitely make sure you g

And did silver Sharpies even exist back then? That looks to be what was used for the JPJ signature.

Anybody else notice Jimmy seeming to lose the plot around the 10:00 minute mark of In My Time of Dying? I brought that up in another thread and a guitar player said it was because Bonzo got out of synch and Jimmy was slow playing his way through his part until they could meet up again.
