    Yes indeed, and JPJ can play the pedal steel very well. I keep trying to figure out the arrangement they would have used with Page on Pedal Steel and I just cannot see it working. Would JPJ be playing the main arpeggio on acoustic guitar and Page adding accompaniments, with no bass involved or would Page play the whole thing on Pedal Steel with Jones on bass? Seems to me they would need a second guitarist to make it work with the Pedal Steel. Interesting idea though. I wonder if Jones played the Pedal Steel in the 70's or if he picked it up later. I know when I seen him live in 99' & 01' he played the living shit out of the Pedal Steel, the man is a master.

    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.

     

  2. 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 

  3. 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
