Any Pictures of this small prvate Zeppelin jet ? ? ? Did it have Zeppelin markings on the outside ? ? ? I had heard that "Zeps' plane" was spotted at Dallas Love Field around the time of their date here in 1973 in May. Is it possible the Starship was used before July? Was the Starship being prepped in any way at any facilites at Dallas Love Field before July ? ?

I took a look at this book...... Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression (Paperback)

:banana: Led Zeppelin :banana:

When Zep came through Dallas in August of 1971, Robert made remark onstage alluding to "getting back on the bis" and I thought he meant that they were riding a bus to the next tour date. I suppose when it came time to go to the west coast, that they surely would fly (1st Class), instead of making a 1,000 - 2,000 mile trip.

I don't know that this is a "mystery"..... but, we all know the Starship came into use beginning for for the 1973 Tour. But what I want details on, is, how did the members of Led Zeppelin get from one city to another, when they toured the US in 1970, 1971, and 1972 ? ? You can talk 1969 also, but I'm most interested in 1970 and 1971....

From the June 15, 2008 Rolling Stone article: Secrets of the Guitar Heroes Your biggest innovation was two-handed tapping -- using both hands to fret notes simultaneously. Where did you get the idea? EVH: I was watching Jimmy Page going [sings hammering guitar lick], like that, with one hand, in "Heartbreaker." I thought, "I can play like that, and you wouldn't know if I was using this finger [points to left hand] or this one" [points to right hand]. But you just kind of move it around, and it's like, "You got one big hand there, buddy. That's a hell of a spread!"

I just listened to Zeppelin's "How Many More Times" streaming over the Internet on New Jersey's 105.7 The Hawk (WCHR-FM) http://www.1057thehawkfm.com/index.shtml on the Nights With Alice Cooper Program. Earlier today, The Hawk played the Live versions of Over The Hills And Far Away AND Since I've Been Loving You.

In Independent UHF broadcast staion in the area shows the Priginal "Mission: Impossible" episodes. The music is cool, and the color of the film still holds up today. Yes, it's cheesy at time... but, I do not feel insutled watching the show. The show did not have an agenda.... The show's agenda was pure unadulterated enterainment. Sadly, that does not describe most of TV of today.

Up to 10 of the 264 passengers were showing flu-like symptoms and have been taken by ambulance to hospital in Timmins, Ont. None of the other passengers are being allowed off the train. "We are still trying to determine the nature of the medical situation," Health Canada spokesman Alistair Sinclair said.

Pavaratti was/is way more talented.... But when it comes to singing VH songs from 1978-1984... it's DLR all the way ! Which is why I listen, reather than watch the DLR act of now. I'm sentimental.... but...not that sentimental!! Sammy with the boys is Van Hagar to me, and all that means. = (It means little to me... like Def Leppard means little to me. LIke post 1978 Aerosmith means little to me. Like Poison means little to me. etc, etc)

This some interplay between the lead singer of Van Halen and the guitarist from the tour this year: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Jlm_NCNzWeY When I think about Jimmy Page and Robert Plant interplayed... THERE'S NO FUCKING COMPARISION !!!! Whatever Van Halen bring to the table..... It's nothing compared to what Page & Plant bring forth. It just makes me laugh to consider DLR relevant. Eddie, otoh, is ripping it !!

Rock star Bruce Springsteen has officially endorsed Democratic Sen. Barack Obama for president. He stated on Wednesday that “he speaks to the America I’ve envisioned in my music for the past 35 years.” He sent out a letter to his friends and fans on his Web site stating that he believed Obama is the best choice to become the next president of the United States. He stated Obama will be able to reverse “the terrible damage done over the past eight years.” “He has the depth, the reflectiveness, and the resilience to be our next president,” the letter said. “He speaks to the America I’ve envisioned in my music for the past 35 years, a generous nation with a citizenry willing to tackle nuanced and complex problems, a country that’s interested in its collective destiny and in the potential of its gathered spirit. A place where ‘…nobody crowds you, and nobody goes it alone.” He made no direct mention in regards to Sen. Hillary Clinton in his posting on his Web site.

I've never seen The Boss, but I had a similar experience seeing Eric Clapton in 1983. I had never owned any albums that he contibuted to. And I knew who EC was, of course. But seeing him perform with the ARMS Tour... was a facinating experience! Eric was superb. And as good as all of the other performers were that evening... Eric was just fantastic from note one. It was in fact, such a satisfying experience.... that I have no regrets in not having seen Eric in concert since. The living memory lives on....

Even now... The Ticket guys are talking about the Springsteen concert last night. Several of the guys got to sit in Mark Cuban's suite, as he was out of town watching a Mavericks game..... Other guys sat in the stands, and others stood in the GA on the floor. Listen to the Ticket Online: http://www.theticket.com/listen.htm

Bruce Springsteen still commands the spotlight 09:04 AM CDT on Monday, April 14, 2008 By THOR CHRISTENSEN / The Dallas Morning News tchristensen@dallasnews.com At 58, Bruce Springsteen no longer taps into the zeitgeist like he did in his glory days. He titled his superb 2007 CD Magic, but it's bewitched no one aside from diehard fans: Radio ignored it, and even the Grammys didn't bother to nominate it for a major trophy. But onstage, it's a different story. Give him a mike and a spotlight and he's still very much the Boss. Mr. Springsteen and the E Street Band didn't sell out the American Airlines Center on Sunday night. But they reminded the near-capacity crowd why they're one of rock's greatest live acts: showmanship and spontaneity. The longer the concert went, the looser it got. Near the two-and-a-half-hour mark, Jon Bon Jovi – in town to play the AAC on Monday – appeared from thin air to co-sing "Glory Days." (Finally, a chance to duet with the guy he's spent his whole career imitating.) "Dancing in the Dark" was even more of a hoot, as Mr. Springsteen pulled a dozen gleeful grade-school girls from the crowd to serve as the "E Street Dancers." His set list was equally unpredictable, with obscure oldies like "Meeting Across the River" and "Independence Day" mixing with "American Land," his Pogues-style ode to immigrants. Even "Reason to Believe" took on new life as a swaggering Chicago blues. Of course, he played "Born to Run" and "Badlands." But he also devoted a third of the show to new tunes that sounded as good as the classics. When's the last time you saw an arena-rock act pull that off? As a performer, he's not quite the Energizer Bunny Mick Jagger is. Nor is he the Bruce of yore who used to leap through the air and slide across the stage on his knees. But while his body has aged, the man inside hasn't mellowed a bit. He ranted against the Iraq war, ripped into President Bush (without ever naming him), and danced around his mike stand like a stripper gone wild. The E Street Band was sterling as usual. But notable in their absence were keyboardist Danny Federici (who's battling melanoma) and singer Patti Scialfa, who stayed home in Jersey to make sure her and Mr. Springsteen's kids weren't throwing keg parties and cooking pot brownies, he said. "When you have three teenagers, it gives a whole new meaning to 'homeland security.' " ----------------------------------------------------- As a side Note, today on The Ticket AM 1310, the "Sports" station, the guys sat around and talked about the Springsteen concert and their impressions and experiences for about an hour. They mention that there was no opening act.... (like another great band I know !!!!). What's so sad about the awful and dismal state of Rock radio in this town, is that it would -very- unlikely for ANY Rock stations in this town to have an intelligent and enterianing discussion about a rock concert, for almost an hour! You have to go to a Sports station for that ! The world is really very screwed up !!!

I would also refer the members of the board to listen to this James Brown song, with reference to Zeppelin's interpretation of Funk on "The Crunge": "SUPER BAD" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UH635bu6b8 ----------------------------------------------------- I can't hear James Brown, without seeing Eddie Murphy doing his parody of the man on SNL ... and that's very very funny !
