    Of the holy trinity of British guitarists (Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck), Jeff Beck always seemed the healthiest and least likely to be the first to die. So this is surprising and sad news to me. R.I.P. Jeff Beck, the "guitarist's guitarist".

    Well said Strider and agree. Glad I saw him twice. First time at ARMS shows in NYC  with the holy trinity. Jimmy Page has stated in the past that Jeff was a more gifted guitarist than he is. I may have to agree with JP.

    This stuff is priceless!!! Imagine having a whole show on film 😛 It´s obvious that artists back in the day, didn´t maybe care so much for the filmed material. Unless it was something like The Beatles did. There are at least 2 full concerts of Jimi Hendrix filmed that have disappeared/stolen and apparently the same goes Cream 1968 stuff. I would like to see any of that!!!

    It's just too bad a lot of the focus in this footage is on RP's shoes. But, still love it and glad it's there from a historic show.

  3. Robert also made a surprise appearance at a bar in  Scotland during an open mic night on Tuesday, That would be so cool to see and great for the bar owners and those in attendance there!  Here's a recent news piece regarding his appearance. Just awesome!  https://planetradio.co.uk/planet-rock/news/rock-news/robert-plant-open-mic-night-aberdeen/

    Robbie Blunt is so underrated as a guitarist. Raphael Ravenscroft's sax solo on Pledge Pin steals the show. 

    I agree Steve regarding Robbie Blunt. Many years ago, but Robbie was amazing on Robert's first two solo tours in 1983 and 1985. I'm glad, I was so privileged to see both of these tours live in Hartford in 1983 and New Haven in 1985. The first was special as it was the first time I ever saw Robert Plant perform live. So many times since then and last being in June with Alison in Philly at the Mann. What a show and Robert still has an amazing voice at 74. Not many in his age group can still sing like this.

    Anyway, back in 1985 at the former New Haven Coliseum, I remember how incredible Robbie Blunt was on guitar. He blew me away. Much more so than in 1983. It was "Little By Little" that did me in. WOW!!! Here's a performance of the song ten days after my show in Toronto at the CNE and just two weeks after Zep's horrendous performance at Live Aid. Robbie is incredible and Robert is in fine voice as well.

    Wow! This would sound right at home in the middle of a Tarantino film.

    I couldn't agree more. Perhaps, an alternative song for the Twist competition at Jack Rabbit Slims in "Pulp Fiction." Now this would be cool!
