  1. Will they ever release any of these Japanese concerts that we KNOW they recorded?
  2. It looks so modern. I bet it's been renovated a lot since Jimmy Page lived there because that doesn't look like his style at all.
  3. I would love a Blu-ray or 4k UHD disc release. Unfortunately, I missed it because I was traveling.
  4. I thought that there were no multi-track tapes to go with the video. I'd love to be wrong.
  5. Has there ever been any proof or confirmation of anyone "trying out?" As far as I know it's been just rumors.
  6. Hi Ana, The genuine joy that comes through when you are seen on screen is one of the non-musical highlights of the film. For me the picture of the hoodie and the modest claims you make (not claiming to have met and partied with the band, etc.) make me feel like this is all 100% true. Sorry for the forum members who doubt your claims just because you didn't see the film until the 1990's. As you probably know, most of the fans here are hard-core so to them the film is incredibly important. For people that aren't obsessed with Zeppelin the film isn't well-regarded. Welcome to the forum and be well.
  7. Wow, I'm listening to the BBC sessions now, can't say if it's Bonzo or not but 1. It sounds like a quality, powerful drummer for sure. 2. Tim has a great voice and a really good band.
  8. Many, many years ago in the CD age I used to buy CD bootlegs at local record stores but got burned once too many times on subpar releases and high prices. Since they can be downloaded for free I probably should jump back in but don't know where to start.
  9. Sad for those of us who want more live material but don't listen to bootlegs. It always seems like Robert Plant isn't interested in Led Zeppelin releases unless they coincide with a release from him. It's almost like he wants his solo stuff to ride the coat tails of a Zeppelin release.
  10. According to Wikipedia it's about 4 minutes 42 seconds. But seriously I have always thought of Robert Plant's voice as another instrument in the band. The lyrics for most of Zeppelin's songs aren't very profound, just kinda there which all you really need when the music and voice are that unbelievable. Before anyone gets on my case Led Zeppelin is my all-time favorite band and it isn't even close.
  11. Long, long overdue. They could easily restore the missing kick drum using the method Pink Floyd did for their vintage live Dark Side release in the ultimate boxed set.
  12. This is one of the most under-rated Zeppelins songs; great riff, wonderful drumming, cool guitar solo. Sounds as fresh today as it probably did in 1969. It always surprises me they never performed this in full back in the day. So glade they decided to show it some love and open the 02 performance with it.
  13. No single drummer could replace John, but maybe if you had two drummers . . . oh wait Live Aid. Never mind.
  14. I'd love to hear the unreleased songs mixed and mastered but I really doubt that Jimmy Page is going to work on "new" songs or even add guitar parts to existing unreleased songs. Not to be negative but I think we all need to face facts that Jimmy Page is unofficially retired and the chances of hearing any new major work from him are at or close to zero. That's ok, he has created an amazing body of work and owes us nothing new.
  15. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought there was a mention of Jimmy Page's mom attending the 02 reunion.
  16. It is played with a Leslie speaker which spins while making sound, normally used with organs.
  17. I think it's a great song and it shows their range as musicians. It demonstrated that they could have made top 40 pop singles if they wanted to but it just wasn't on their agenda. I have read a few places that Jimmy Page doesn't like the song, feels it was very un-Zeppelin, and may even have turned down a writing credit. But at a true pro he still turned in some beautiful, and understated guitar work.
  18. Amazing performance, Never knew it existed. Thank you for sharing.
  19. The point that I was making is that it is my understanding that there were no multi-track recordings made of the Japanese tour made because Jimmy's then manager didn't allow it. If that is correct then there are no multi-track tapes in existence from which to pull live recordings to include on any future set. Maybe some soundboard tapes were made but that obviously wouldn't be the same quality level.
  20. I remember reading somewhere Coverdale said that Page's manager at the time refused to allow any official recording of the Coverdale/Page tour of Japan.
  21. Glad to be of help. I find it crazy that 3 out of the 4 members of Led Zeppelin had singles before the band.
