  1. Just listened last night its an absolute revelation sounds incredible!
  2. What a story ! I think it’s hilarious she’s surfaced after 40 something years and it took her all of a few days to figure out our beloved Steve 😂
  3. I personally think DW2 is Jimmy’s best post Zep effort
  4. Technically, what Jonesy was playing was a “Lap Steel” I don’t think he played Pedal Steel. If there are pedals and levers underneath it, it’s a Pedal Steel. If I’m wrong I apologize.
  5. Not just a slide guitar, a Pedal Steel guitar. It is an extremely complex instrument to play. it may have sounded really cool I’d love to hear them trying it
  6. I have a question Did any member of Zep visit the USA between 1978-1980 for any reason ?
  7. Yep Baton Rouge, you can hear Jimmy passing in and out of consciousness onstage lol
  8. I listened to the Ft Worth 3/3/75 show and gotta say, it’s one of best from 75 great energy throughout, especially from Bonzo There are some ups and downs as usual, but overall, you can tell crowd and band are both into it, and it’s a fun energetic show And Jimmy doesn’t do one of his post Moby Dick ugh I indulged too much collapses
  9. Jimmy does background vocals on Thank You & Gallows Pole, WIAWSNB, Livin Lovin Maid, probably Your Time is Gonna Come, BIGLY, the Ocean, maybe South Bound Suarez ?
  10. Here’s a track that didn’t make final cut so there’s more somewhere in his vaults
  11. The 75 Tour has an interesting feature not found on other Zep Tours, and that is late gig Jimmy disintegration. it seems like at several shows, after Moby Dick and especially during encores, it’s really obvious Jimmy has over indulged in, well, SOMETHING. Not during 73, not 77, not even the 80 Tour did this happen. He partied hard we know this, but why does it seem to get to him more during this tour ? I mean, Baton Rouge for example. Listen to Jimmy first half of show, then jump to Black Dog. WTF many other examples on this strange tour
  12. Just letting everyone know, one of our spies attended the film and...... there isn’t anything new in film. No new audio, no new video, it’s basically montages synced to BBC audio. womp womp
  13. I love it Just goes to show Zep could even pull off a Pop ballad. Would’ve topped singles chart if they’d released as a single, but in typical Zep fashion, they didn’t
  14. My advice: skip 8/11 altogether
  15. Without question one of Jimmys best solos. Top 3
  16. Still no mention from Robert ☹️
  17. In Jimmys latest book, Anthology, he gives an explanation basically, Customs border crossings were a huge logistical headache for the road crew. Zep would play US cities near Canadian border, like Detroit, Buffalo, Seattle, etc for the Canadian fans to come to.
  18. That’s a lovely story about Peter thx for sharing that, with all the larger than life stories and myths, we forget they were just people like us, who appreciate simple kind gestures.
  19. Very sad to hear this, hope Robert publicly acknowledges this, Phil resurrected Plants career RIP
  20. Wow Stuart Epps ! Hello good sir ! We'd all love to hear some anecdotes from this time period ! Thank you ! I was fortunate to visit the Sol in 1988, but Jimmy wasn’t there haha beautiful facility in the English countryside
