That was unexpectedly entertaining

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 😂

I personally think DW2 is Jimmy’s best post Zep effort

Love full stage shots ! Most excellent

Awesome pics

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.

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

I have a question
Did any member of Zep visit the USA between 1978-1980 for any reason ?

It's possible they may have been referring to the infamous "Jack Dog" from the Baton Rouge show.
Yep Baton Rouge, you can hear Jimmy passing in and out of consciousness onstage lol

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
-
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 ?

Here’s a track that didn’t make final cut so there’s more somewhere in his vaults
-
Lol bunch of haters.

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

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

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

Don’t do Heroin, ever
-
My advice:
skip 8/11 altogether
-
Without question one of Jimmys best solos. Top 3
-
Still no mention from Robert ☹️
-
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.

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.
-
Very sad to hear this, hope Robert publicly acknowledges this, Phil resurrected Plants career RIP
