this is all personal opinion and moot to boot. If you're gonna rate Zeppelin to the point where touring in 1980 was unnecessary, then most bands should never have taken the stage at all. There are some great shows and moments from the 80 tour. Someone mentioned Ali, He is one of the greatest Boxers of all time not just because of his boxing but because of who he was. His personality had a lot to do with his fame. It doesn't matter that in his last fights he wasn't the same as he was when young. Same for Zeppelin. One of the best rock and roll acts ever and nothing can take that away not personal gripes or even their worst performances.
RITE ON!

Still interesting to think that john paul jones could have replaced charlie jones, ed shearmur, porl thomson, nigel eaton and the banjo player.
Michael Lee*
Thats a great comment!
& a great complement to.JPJ who surly would have lifted WTC to the level we all wish it was. Its not bad by any means
*Michael Lee OMG what an amazing drummer he was. I cant get over what a monster he was, i couldnt take my eyes off him. Now thats sayin sompin since Pagey & Percy ALSO on same stage. Now thats a drummer tjat was fun to watch!!!
Their should be a LZ.com forum topic on just HIM.

I heard Plant once say he drove an Audi. Often over the yrs Ive thought about this car I WOULD LOVE to own & drive his old Audi!!
But sadly Im not so wealthy to it off. Likely out of my reach. GOD KNOWS how happy it would make me everyday for the rest of my time on earth!
(Amen) Yea lets call it a prayer!

Robert Plant's OPINION
Quote from the 70's:
"W ere just sO much better than WHOEVER is number 2"
sO cocky,sO funny,sO True!
Honistly from what ive read over the yrs when it comes down to it (now i dont know which super group member of the 70's said this 2nd Quote):
"Basicly we were all just battling each other for the number 2 position without even saying ,EVERYONE KNEW who #1 was!"
-
Yea , "Off with his head"!!

Dag dude relax, so i guess they have video to watch jimmy ? To impersonate ? If so then i stand corrected.
I didnt think their was much else back then

I do enjoy these two, but I feel like Jimmy S. just watched TSRTS way too many times.
Well WHAT ELSE did he have to go off of back in the day ,no internet etc....i suppose he could have expanded more in recient times ...
But JS is amazing ....JP actually went & saw him LIVE!
FACT

The keyboard solo ruined all my love completely.
The extended solo-less version on the old Studio Daze bootleg, is infinitely better.
And how many of us pull out Plant's early solo career stuff anymore? I can't because the production of some has dated horribly, and the quality of some was just awful...or I should say is now awful from a contemporary stance.
I do quite often ! & love his 1st 2 solo albums....slow dancer? Come on! Awsome!

I believe any album with the song IN THE EVENING on it aught to be closer to any1s top few. ITTOD is progressive Zep holdin their own !
AHEAD OF THEIR TIME!
& THINK ABOUT IT were talkin songs composed in what 78' ? ish?
(I had another 2cents i suppose)

This from Geddy Lee:
I saw them in Toronto at a little place called the Rockpile. We were in the second row, and when they played this song (How Many More Times) it just blew me away. It reaffirmed for me all the creative potential in blending hard rock with progressive music. John Paul Jones was the unsung hero in that band.
What bass player of that period didn’t know how to play that riff? I still jam to it sometimes at soundchecks.
Absolutely great quote! Re' JOHN PAUL JONES from GEDDY LEE!

I would ask JPJ if he ever wished that he had played more keys during the live shows, just to fill in the middle. NEVER listen to live Zep on a cheap system as the bottom disappears.
Maybe kinda like purple had John Lord always keeping things full sounding live. But i know what you mean.

We've had numerous threads on this topic, but would like to get it straight from Jimmy, what was the 80's Part 1 set list going to be?
Would like to put a number of set list questions to him:
Why was Dazed dropped in 77?
Why was White Summer/BMS brought back and retained in 79/80? (not accepting 'why not' as the answer)
Why reach all the way back to Train as the 1980 opener? (ditto ^^)
Was there concern that by 1980 the lion's share of the set was material over 6 years old (based on date recorded)?
How much longer could you have expected to rely heavily on material from PG and prior?Mostly questions from Zeppelin's later years, yes, but so many more could be asked about all eras.
Yea really WHY TRAIN? Absolutly unnecessary ,nobody wants to hear them do that number! Yet it popped up again at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame reunion.
Zep head THATS amazing! One things for sure....youve givin this ALOT of thought! Lol
Dam good questions, love to hear more of them

^^ You know that does sound likely the reason. As a big fan of Jimmy, it bums me out to think his drug issues to this day
nobody knows how much it may have hindered projects with other musicians. I remember watching the footage of Jimmy
at the A R M S in '83 and the S T H solo just left me thinking "Oh no Jimmy
" Jeff and Eric basically rescuing him on HIS song.
A song he had played hundreds of times. I'm glad Jimmy is clean today. I just wish we had more 'sober' Jimmy post O2 reunion to
watch.Tell me about the show when Eric and Jeff came out to supposedly save Jimmy during that solo I didn't see anything wrong with the solo what was wrong with it???
I hear so many people say the same thing but it just seemed like he was doing his thing he wasn't dragging it on or lost in it or anything...
Please do elaborate..
ANYONE?

I remember Daddy's Junky Music on mass ave in Boston having a then-current Death Wish II era poster of Jimmy Page playing a Roland guitar synth in their guitar amp tryout booth. 10 years later I saw the WH-1 Whammy pedal advertised in a Jimmy Page issue of Guitar Player magazine. This pedal could bend up or down 1 or 2 octaves with an onboard expression pedal, and it had Roland guitar synth technology. The 2 octave bend setting, starting with the pedal depressed all the way down (and distortion pedal in the chain) is one way to do the blast off. I strongly preffered the original pedal.
That poster is on utube!
I SEEN it TODAY!
The ROLAND guitar is crazy looking. If it produced effects half as good as it LOOKS..... wow!
So what became of the Roland?...u dont hear anythimg about it... surely a new up to date version could pull off modern effects by this date !
ITS AN AMAZINGLY DIFFERENT LOOKING GUITAR....
The MUSIC it LOOKS like it would have produced would take an ALEX (RUSH) or Jimmy to propagate !!!

Blue congo GREAT INFO , right from jimmys camp.
That jimmy of ours!
Hes sO creative >How does he think to "screw plates down n such to try n see WHAT kind of effects he can find!

To a lesser extent, Jimmy employs this effect on "Wanna Make Love" from Outrider towards end of song.
Jimmy screwed down the plate on his Strats so the whammy bar could only go down, which is unusual. Maybe this contributes to his achievement of this effect.
That's interesting where did you hear that ?
Sombody try that....see if does make a difference?

Rest in PEACE... to one of my most favorite friend!!

I think the song you are thinking of is "Spinning in Daffodils".
I listen to that song, no that's not it. it does sound like Page playing guitar at the end and some type of beetles chant going on over top of it maybe, no that's not it but is interesting

No one person is the trademark sound of Led Zeppelin. It is a trademark shared equally by all four members: John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant. End of story.

Although Robert looked rite at me eye to eye for an extended moment , on his shaken & stird tour in Cincinnati !&
Pagey during the outrider tour everyone knew next he was about to point his bow rght at this Huge guy up front & center in Dayton ohio i was standing next to in the 2nd row , So i RAMMED HIM as hard as i could & landed (with both arms up in the air for victory) rite where pagey pointed lmao . Pagey totaly saw his intended 6'+ tall target suddenly go tumbling to his left as this skinny little kid who was still AIR BORN & landed the blessing of jimmys bow point.
.bah Ha ha ha ha!!
Every1was high 5ing me .theirs a bootleg out their that caught every moment in audio! I can hear me clearly in it being a nut, shame on me... One day i hope i get to shake their hands.
