Sick Again kicks butt and Zep usually nailed it. Its a great high energy number that also summed up life on the road for them. Perfect fit.
Although its a great version, Sick Again at Knebworth seemed kinda shoehorned in the setlist. Seemed out of place where it was.
-
Jimmy has for the last 20 years been all about Zeps legacy.
I have to believe Jimmy would want Live Zep at their absolute peak as part of that legacy. I still am hopeful for Japan 71 set, his playing is simply stunning, the whole band was just on fire.
-
I like Mr Jimmy Sakurai, he's very good. I just wish he was a bit more reckless with his playing, Jimmy ALWAYS played on the absolute edge of his ability, taking chances constantly.
-
To a lesser extent, Jimmy employs this effect on "Wanna Make Love" from Outrider towards end of song.
Jimmy screwed down the plate on his Strats so the whammy bar could only go down, which is unusual. Maybe this contributes to his achievement of this effect.
-
I’d love to hear it, too.
Im sure Jimmy has a recording of those rehearsals.
-
The only song Zep ever used a click track on was Carouselambra

Sorry Cats you’re still on the menu

I don’t understand how anyone could think Black Dog solo doesn’t fit or work.
Its effing amazing and one of his best !!

Not doubting anything OP stated about pic, but is it possible this is another date in New Orleans? They stayed there earlier in tour (May) right ?

The 80 US Tour would’ve been a repeat of 77
A chunk of great shows in LA & NY
mostly average shows in places like Dallas
handful of clunkers in places like Detroit or Indianapolis
can you imagine the HYSTERIA Zep would’ve encountered at the LA Forum in early 81 after a 4 year absence? The band would’ve risen to that occasion.

I don’t personally buy the “ Plant phoning it in” story line. Listen to his efforts in Zurich, Frankfurt, his comments in Brussels, Munich, dude was having fun. Sometimes the audiences were difficult, or the venue lame, but on the balance Robert was engaged.
-
Plant was employing what is known in the music world as a “Slap Back “ echo effect on his voice.
this effect is used to create a more lively and “thicker” vocal sound.

He did a great job finding ways to compensate/distract; take a look at his picking motion and finger independence on any of the '98 videos vs. TSRS or DVD; No Quarter is a great song to demonstrate what I mean.
Apologies if I'm coming off pedantic about such an obscure topic.
Not at all. I for one have long held the suspicion Jimmy suffers from some condition in his hands/wrists/arms that hinders him in some way.
But no one ever asks him for some unknown reason.

OMG!!! That was beautifully done!, you are a master!! If I didn't know any better I could be convinced that Jimmy had done this around the release of No Quarter that's how good I think you are.
Thank you I appreciate that !

I would wager a fairly large amount that Page was asked and consented to this anecdote being published.

Is this Hot Dog as good as I think or am I over glorifying it? Seems like one of the best to me.
I went back and listened, he starts strong, but kinda loses it at the end. Pretty typical 80 solo really.
If I may be so bold, I suggest using my Matrix as listening source for next Mannheim show 7/3. Lookup Mannheim Steamroller by yours truly.
thanks.
-
The first Mannheim show is one of my least favorites from 80, not good.
Following nite much better imho

They also rehearsed in England before the 75 tour, Plant tells the audience how Jimmy Broke his finger trying to grab a train on the way to rehearsals at the Feb 3rd show in New York.
I was looking at pics of Zeps 75 warm up show in Rotterdam. Pages finger looks okay.
so what day did he smash finger in train ?
