can someone tab out this small tiny section
bluecongo replied to bigboi121's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
Ok so he’s just playing a harmony over main riff start on 14th fret of A string and go down 14-13-12-11 then jump to G string 12th fret and bend up for the little lick he does then 9th fret A string to 7th fret -
Pretty hot lookin ! Prices pretty reasonable too for that quality

I think maybe there was one time where Page was carried offstage, and then that turned into a million different stories as ridiculous as the Knebworth one. I mean, there's pics of Jimmy walking to the stage! LOL
-
Honestly I’ve yet to hear a substandard 1971 show, they were peaking hard, I don’t know how you’ll manage to rank these.

TSRTS Jimmys Guitar is wicked out of tune, it’s a distraction for him obviously great sound quality though dang

Finding Led Zeppelin in unrelated places
bluecongo replied to marmorek's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
Was just watching a show about how the Moon was formed on VICE channel, and there was a scene where they showed a fictitious city and on a billboard was Zeppelins Mothership artwork !! very random....... -

To me this argument is stupid, mainly because Zep could play circles around the Stones musically, I mean the Stones aren’t even in the conversation talent wise compared to Zep. it would take 5 Charlie Watts to make 1 Bonzo, maybe Jonesy is more talented than the Stones all put together Mick Taylor was a good guitar player, nice pure player and cleaner than Pagey, but that’s where he ends just a player Jagger vs Plant is a toss up Mick is a hell of a performer can’t deny that !
-
A year or so ago Plant played some shows in Iceland, and his band did a short version of Immigrant Song, tuned WAYYYY down, and Robert still sounded really weak trying to hit those notes. It was then I really understood his decision not to tour w Zep again, his voice has dropped so low he can’t even come close anymore to Zep catalog.

Black Dog was played in Oakland & MSG in 77, too

This is chump change for Jimmy, maybe he’ll realize 100k from it, that’ll cover his gardening fees for Tower House this year.

Nitpicking Page 1988- Atlantic 40th Anniversary
bluecongo replied to gibsonfan159's topic in Pre / Post-Zeppelin Forum
I saw Jimmy in Syracuse 88 and he was just on fire and played really really well. We were all surprised, truthfully our expectations were seriously low after the Atlantic 40th debacle. -

I think Jimmy was decent at Live Aid, much better than Atlantic he played way better -
Nitpicking Page 1988- Atlantic 40th Anniversary
bluecongo replied to gibsonfan159's topic in Pre / Post-Zeppelin Forum
I think, shockingly, you are too kind on this review. Diabolically bad. -
Well Peter Jackson’s new cut of Let it Be just got pushed back a whole year due to Covid19, we may be waiting a loooooong time

Yep that’s the one !

Sadly I do not know of a place to download. sad story, my drive that contained files got corrupted and I lost my own Masters

Nitpicking Page 1985- Live Aid
bluecongo replied to gibsonfan159's topic in Pre / Post-Zeppelin Forum
I’ve always thought Jimmy played decently, just hampered by terrible sound. Phil Collins was a joke, though. If Jimmy had played this well at Atlantic 40th, things could’ve been very different vis a vis Zeppelin reunions -
Telecasters are everywhere on every single Zep album, more than people realize. telecasters are super versatile, much more so than Les Pauls, especially for rhythm tracks. Jimmy will never clarify what’s what, but I think everyone would be surprised at the amount of Telecaster usage, even on Presence.
-
No offense to Pseudonym but I thought that remaster made it sound artificial and squeezed too much the 23rd is a nice Aud recording for sure, but the 24th is SUCH a better show, and my dream is that a SB will surface some day
-
Just imagine what Robert had to do to even be heard onstage, fighting Bonzo the loudest drummer of all time, Marshall stacks, all with basically non existent or primitive monitor systems. You can only scream so much before your vocal chords will throw in the towel. Roberts early Zep era performances are truly Super Human, there’s no way it could last. He left his voice on the stage for sure.

Stairway Solo from TSRTS - Tone
bluecongo replied to Christopher Lees's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
In 73 Jimmy just used the natural drive of his Marshall Amps, no overdrive pedals or anything like that. His Echoplex also added a little drive. -
How Did They Select Songs for Concerts?
bluecongo replied to John Yr Aur Stomp's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
Robert once said “Jimmy & I decided for all of us to include acoustic set” in 1977 that might give some insight
