  1. Well, both pics are from the Polar Prize ceremony in Stockholm a couple of years ago. The woman standing between Jimmy and Robert is Ekaterina Semenchuk. She performed at the Polar Prize ceremony.

    The one sitting at the table with Jon Lord and Jimmy is Princess Victoria, of Sweden.

    Thanks for the clarification Otto... :D

    Can anyone accurately date this photo also does anyone know if Jonesy played this instrument often? Some background info below...

    Fender

    It's affectionately known as the "Mandocaster," but Fender's actual, unimaginative name for it was "Fender Electric Mandolin." These 4-string, single-course, solidbody electrics were produced from 1956 to 1976. Fender even sold a set of strings for it. For the first year or so of production, the Mandocaster came only in "Mary Kay" blonde with an anodized aluminum pickguard. Most later instruments came with a sunburst finish like the one pictured above.

  3. Yeah a few, though for the most part I was usually drunk and / or stoned!

    I'll have to get back to you on that!

    They played extensively during that time, sometimes four or five gigs a week.

    ah those were the daze... :drunk:

  4. Yeah, I guess about 25 all up, mostly at The Lifesaver or The Stagedoor Tavern.

    I missed The Last Stand unfortunately.

    so that would have been around 78/79? any stories you can share?

  5. 1994 Unledded Promotional Tour of Australia

    Would anyone here be able to confirm the original airdate of an interview they conducted

    with Richard Stubbs for Triple M in Sydney, Australia? It would have been sometime btw

    Nov 14-18 1994, but I'm looking for an exact date. Also, did it air live or prerecorded?

    The airdate was definitely Wednesday 16 November 4-5pm. I can't verify whether or not it was prerecorded. The interview did also include an acoustic performance of No Quarter (with Kashmir ending). B)

  6. ...From What I know, I have also seen him with Rolling Stones Pic's, he is Pundit Ravi Shankar's the Sitar Maestro's nephew/relative

    as you probably know, Shankar was very much surrounded by all musicians alike...

    hope this helps..

    he does resemble Shankar...look closely...

    I believe that is Steve Weiss, Led Zeppelin's attorney...

  7. Jackie DeShannon, the inspiration behind "Tangerine"...

    In 1964, Jackie's career got a big kick when she was chosen to be the supporting act for the Beatles' first U.S. tour. Spawning a close, but short, relationship between herself and John Lennon on the road (she even went as far as to call him her 'soulmate'). After ending the tour, nationally known, Jackie was then asked out by the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis (to which she turned down out of disinterest of his 'entourage'). A year later in 1965, while in England, she met a then unknown, though prolific, guitarist named Jimmy Page, and sparked a new partnership (professionally and personally). Beginning with creating the song Come Stay with Me for Marianne Faithfull, the two would be together for the rest of the year (and even tour together in America). When Jackie decided to leave the country to be with her label's executive chief Bud Dain, Jimmy (now a Yardbird) began creating a melody out of longing for her. The melody would turn into the song Tangerine for his band Led Zeppelin's third album a decade later.

  8. Ah,the reason I posed my query to you in post 1766 in your thread.When Led Zeppelin played Birmingham in 1977,Plant ,best as I recall,introduced this as song about a love who "got away."At the end of Ten Years Gone,he says something to the effect,"And when you see this love..."Plant goes into a two or three sentence summation.I had a copy of this concert from the source back in '78 or '79.I have no clue what the hell I did with it.I guess other Birmingham boots would substantiate as much.

    Still, the mystery to me,do we know who the subject of the song is?Where is she now?And ,does this invade the privacy of an individual,who wishes to remain anonymous ,in which case,it's none of our damn business?

    Lastly,should we care who she is?By my own admission,I'm pretty damn curious.
