    Jimmy was using the B-Bender back with Zep during the 77 tour on Ten Years Gone, then on ITTOD with tracks like South Bound Suarez, Hot Dog and All My Love. I believe Jimmy selecting a very different type of rhythm section for the Firm as compared to Bonham and Jones was a conscious effort for a radically different sound. (Jimmy was trying to get Pino Palladino (The Who and John Mayer) on bass instead of Franklin) He was trying to avoid the Zeppelin comparisons. Jimmy has stated in interviews of the past that his playing style would change or evolve every year. I believe a significant part of that evolution was based on the players he was playing with.

    Not only THAT but the solo to No Quarter from The Song Remains the Same and others from that release as well. So he edits his own music. Ever think that the edits you mention above he couldn't get clearance from the publisher to put them out? No you still don't get it.

    No you still don't get it. Edits of certain track have no effect on royalties.

    Royalties are based on sales, airplay and/or performance, not based on how long or short a track is. My comments were self explanatory. The contradiction is Page's protecting the Led Zeppelin Legacy vs. releasing edited material. He has no control over bootlegs but has control over official releases.

    The contradiction I don't understand with Jimmy Page is that he treasures the legacy of Led Zeppelin (and rightfully he should), but the live releases of are edited. (BBC - Whole Lotta Love mid-section and The Song Remains The Same - No Quarter etc)

    I don't know Akhil Sood personally but reading this article makes me think he is a horrible person.

    I have How The West Was Won as originally released on DVD audio. It sounds really good and I don't see Jimmy reworking this. Also, he didn't include The Song Remains the Same in the recent reissues either. One could only hope he would go back to that original chronological live package that he talked about back in the seventies.

    It will go down like a Lead Zeppelin!

    Money talks. Many lawyers will take a weak case as long as their fees are paid.

    Part of the 1969 San Francisco photo session I believe.

    The trustee said at the press conference that two "new" Spirit records were being released soon.

    It would be a fair guess that the lawyer was charging about $400-$500 an hour plus a second lawyer probably at a slightly lesser rate plus fees for filing, research, depositions etc. The question is how many hours in total was spent on the case. (This case was going on for two years) Ca-CHING!

    The attorney for the plaintiff was just on a CNN program called Smerconish (he is a lawyer) . He says that he had to fight the case with both hands behind his back and that the trial wasn't about money but credit, He insinuated that he would appeal the case on reversible error. The error being that they could not use the actual Taurus recording to compare to Stairway To Heaven. The host of the show thought that the songs sounded alike. I think that he needs to clean the wax out of his ears. As you can see that an attorney is never going to turn down the chance for more billable hours. He is going to milk this for as long as he can. I find it interesting that he stated (outside the courthouse) that one of the reasons that Randy California didn't sue was because of the cost. Apparently there is an abundance of money available now?

    Their complaint was that the jury wasn't allowed to hear the actual recording. Interesting, since the jury asked to hear both tracks on guitar (prepared for the trial) and decided that they were not alike. Good luck with that appeal! Also, If you listen to the brief press conference by the sisters of Randy California, all they talked about was money.

    I was listening to The Rain Song from the Berlin 7/7/80 show. Specifically, near the end of the track when the news first hit the CNN news ticker; Seems prophetic. Not surprised by the verdict.

    Per Robert Plant's testimony: "Alternately regal and earthy, his voice maintaining its trademark sonorous burr, Plant revealed that he first brought Spirit's work to the rest of his band-mates, having discovered their song "Fresh-Garbage" on a 1968 Columbia Records compilation and then incorporating a cover of it into Zeppelin's early live sets." http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/robert-plant-on-spirit-song-in-stairway-trial-i-dont-remember-it-20160621

    According to Jay, Led Zeppelin recorded Fresh Garbage but didn't release it it. Really? Get your facts straight Jay.
  21. sixpense
    Plant is included because he is listed as co-writer. The plaintiff can try to pick two pockets instead of one! If you look at Whole Lotta Love, it was more on the lyrics side vs the music where the issue was regarding writing credits; but all the writers of that song paid for it. The ones who make out in all of this are the lawyers. The judges and lawyers are involved in this perpetual cycle where one feeds the other.
  22. sixpense
    I know. In this case this Judge determined that the case should go to trial. But the jury decides the case. A Judge can set aside the verdict but that is very rare. More likely, if the Plaintiff continues the shenanigans, a mistrial could be declared and everything would start all over again. In regards to O.J., well that would be a whole other thread............
  23. sixpense
    You would be right if the trial was by judge instead of jury. Remember O.J.
  24. sixpense
    Utterly ridiculous! The lawyer for the plaintiff now has a problem with the defense's musical expert. A person who was previously contracted by Spirit' own music publisher! Hey Malofiy, can you see the writing on the wall now?
