  3. Best Backstage photo of the group. I submit: Led Zeppelin walks along the backstage hallway of the Spectrum moments before their performance in Philadelphia Feb. 8, 1975. Electric Factory Concerts' promoter Allen Spivak leads the way. Behind Robert and to the right of Jimmy is Peter Grant.
  4. Robert Plant, appears relaxed as the band prepares to take the stage at the Spectrum on February 8, 1975.
  5. Right. Listening to the powerful BIOH from the HTWWW BD took me back to hearing it live, for the first time, to that magical performance on Aug. 22, 1970. By then, the second hand smoke in the TCCC arena had had it's effect on that 14 year old teenager.
  6. I've liked your page at FB. Looking forward to SHOWCO the book (in 2019). I have always wanted to read such a book. I wish you well on your Kickstarter campaign. This story needs to be (finally) told. Behind the scenes are interesting... But Led Zeppelin 'behind the scenes' is doubly so!
  7. HTWWW 2018 Blu-Ray Headphone Review My most favorite performance off of HTWWW is "BRING IT ON HOME." The HOTH songs and the acoustic set are also my favorites. The Blu-ray gives three listening choices, DTS-HD Master Audio in 5.1 and 2.0, and PCM 2.0. (96kHz/24 bit) The Pop-up Menu gives you the all the songs and the track you're currently listening to. The Display function gives you bit rates, and which audio track is playing. I will say, that I listened in my office, through my Vizio E-Series E291-A1. I turned OFF the "SRS Tru Volume" and set the SRS Surround Sound to "Standard", and I used the EQ "Flat Respose" Setting. While listening to this with my Bose Around-Ear headphones on, I preferred the 2.0 signal, which both sounded the same, even though the display showed different bit rates for audio channel choices #2 and #3. As each song begins, a still picture is displayed for the entirety of the song, and looks to be matched to each song that's playing. Seeing the image while the song is playing, of course, makes you wish, why didn't they film the concerts, even if with just a single camera, just capturing the stage, as you might have seen it, looking on from the audience... I never owned the 2003 edition, so any 2003/2018 comparisons will have to come from someone else.

  9. I'd still like to view a complete and unedited video of the Zeppelin part of the Honors.

  11. Why Terry Kath Was Vital to the Band Chicago
  12. A very nice quiet Sunday morning, overcast, and 65F.
  13. I haven't eaten this... I just wanted to post it, because it's Food Porn:
  14. Well now that's an easy way to insist and expect someone to do something... to decree that they were behind in their dues, and "that repayment would be nice." Robert doesn't wake up every morning and think... "Gee, I wish there was way to back with Jimmy, again.... I miss those times so....." He really doesn't.... Because, if, he did, he would act on it. His inaction is your key, your guide, to what the future holds, for this fantasy "reunion."
  15. They're all saying "no" to changing clocks --- Just, in different ways. Personally, I'd prefer the whole country stay on Standard time throughout the year.
  16. Of course just about everyone knows, and it goes without saying, that Robert's octave register that he had in 1968 is long gone. But that said, Robert can certainly sing the Led Zeppelin catalog, at a lower register, with all of the feeling and phrasing of the 1970's. But, just because someone "can" do something, doesn't mean that they want to, or that they will. And, as most know, Robert has made a choice to *not* sing any Zeppelin songs in the style of the 1970's. It's his personal choice. I leave it at that. His style choice doesn't float my boat. But, his choice is fact, and whatever you want to debate about that, do it amongst yourselves... have at it. Robert doesn't owe Led Zeppelin fans past and present a continuing guided tour and glorification of the band, every time he speaks or is spoken to. He's doing other things now. He's moved on from what you and I know as "Led Zeppelin." Better ask Jimmy or JPJ about the past.
