  1. My health is deteriorating and I have been thinking about donating my collection of official releases. Mostly it is CDs and box sets of Floyd and Zeppelin that were bought sealed and only touched with gloves. These were my prized possessions. Most are long out of print. I have spent years trying to obtain several copies of official releases from USA, Japan, and EU.

    I would like these to be sent to the UK and stay in the UK. Is there a way to create some kind of small museum or something? I was wondering if there would be a way to donate these to the official archives of the bands. I know it might not mean much to some people, but these items meant a lot to me.

  2. Never liked that group. "Cadillac" is a great druggy sounding 1980s song, but that's about all I can tolerate. 

    I was listening to "Someone to Love" recently, and it sounds more like a Tony Franklin showpiece than anything. His fretless bass overpowered that track to the point of taking over. It sounds like it was attacking him and he was fighting with it LOL.

    Page should have put more into that band but didn't. Those records appear to me to sound like incomplete projects that were meant to be more than that.

  3. General consensus on this forum is that there is a likelihood that most if not all of the second leg of '77 tour exists in soundboard format (no real proof for this, just a general feeling amongst us collectors) and if so we should expect to see more goodies pop up in the next few years... the holy grails, I suppose -besides the redundant soundboards for the Millard recorded L.A. shows- being soundboard tapes for two of the "missing" 1977 shows, Baton Rouge and Greensboro. Considering that until the release of the Houston soundboard a few years back no corresponding audience tapes existed for that show, it gives us hope that we may yet see one or two of the other missing '77 shows (Dallas, Minneapolis, St Paul, St Louis, Indianapolis, Baton Rouge and Greensboro) appear on a soundboard tape, since audience tapes don't circulate for those gigs. Mind ya, there are also lunatics (like myself) who drool at the prospect of the possibility of a Tempe soundboard existing, so I suppose there's no accounting for taste :lol:

    Well AFAIK every single concert was recorded from the soundboard as with the other tours, except for the missing parts in between tape flips at the 45 minute marks during 1977. This was the first tour recorded using cassette tape, as opposed to reel. The EVSD folks only have access to AT BEST - 5/19/77, 5/31/77, and perhaps one more NYC concert. The others likely exist somewhere, but the person associated with EVSD clearly doesn't have access. They probably only have 5 more 1975 shows left. They only had ranges of dates anyway, the pattern is very obvious.

    As far as Tempe, I also would be interested in that. It's interesting and unique, even though it's considered a weak performance.

    *= apparently included in this concert, but not in this broadcast.

    Where could I find this?

  5. I can't believe its been this long. There was supposed to be a new record............Nothing.

    Also, I have questions about the following tracks:

    Mind Eraser (is that a slide guitar played by JPJ on the left or is that Homme?)

    Elephants (is that a mandolin played by JPJ on the intro or is it Homme?)

    Reptiles (besides bass, what other instruments are played by JP?)

    Gunman (besides bass, what other instruments are played by JP?)

  6. What I find weird is that this is not even the worst case of LZ plagiarism. The Lemon Song, SIBLY, and Nobody's Fault But Mine are much worse cases. Indeed, I find it even more weird that "...Levee..." gives credit to Memphis Minnie, when that song appears to be musically different and somewhat original (lyrics notwithstanding), yet those other 3 tracks I mentioned credit LZ only, when the melodies are very similar to the original songs. NFBM is credited to Page/Plant, when the melody is based note for note on the BWJ original song. TLS is the same story as there is nothing original about the melody.

    Why, then, are some tracks credited partially to others, and some are not?

  7. does anyone know if this willbe released on cd at all, JPJ owns the rights, Chery Red Records in the UK would like to re issue the album, but cannot get a reply from JPJ, all the best Jonathan

    I have transferred my vinyl onto cd, but would be great to hear from the master tapes, and the other tracks which were not included on the album

    What other tracks are you talking about?
