I never thought Tangents in a Framework was a hatchet job, it was one of a only a few books on Zep out there in early 80s it’s just an overview book on his career nothing salacious or anything. Why did it piss off the band ?

Hmmm I will checkout this out

JPJ is the Fool in the Rain

What I would’ve liked instead

5/26 has long been a 77 fave for me, I think the band has a relaxed approach for entire show, I love this one

Black Dog became Jack Dog in Baton Rouge

Oskar Blues Brewery Brevard NC

Rocking some Zep on my Jimmy Page signature model Les Paul

The legend is that at beginning of Rock n Roll Page tripped and fell onstage that’s why guitar cuts out

Jimmy was also a big fan of the Tremolo effect. Like after "really need 'em bad" he hits that big chord with tons of Tremolo.

Album was a disappointment, but hot dang the concert was just amazing

Zeps music doesn’t work unless you give it total commitment. It ain’t easy, takes a lot to perform their music. as dissapointed as I was personally, if what we would’ve seen is half ass Robert looking distracted on stage, well we’re probably better off

Great reviews, sounds to me like 77 Tour is growing on you........

Jimmy got sober in stages heroin quit in late 83 coke probably stopped late 80s early 90s quit booze early 2000s

Fwiw I don’t get all,the hate for 5-26-77 I think it’s an a very cool show kind relaxed with some nice fluid playing by JImmy listen to Stairway solo and talk to me to each his own I guess

Gibson just wanna say Strider LIVED IT. You weren’t even alive then, you guys don’t know. Show some respect all of you.

http://www.deangoodman.com/jimmy-page/ read this interview doesn’t look like there’s 77 multi tracks

77 was Bonzos best tour IMHO

Guess they were pretty stoned lol thx Sam!

I met someone recently who saw Zep Atlanta 73 show, I specifically asked if there was a video screen they said they didn’t recall seeing one used.

If 77 tour shows were professionally recorded, it would’ve been done at a multi night stand venue such as LA, NY, or Landover ive never seen or heard any rumor of 77 pro recordings, as great as that would be

THAnk you 😊

Here's my version of Ramble On played on my trusty Irish Bouzouki enjoy!

Im a big LA77 fan. Big 77 fan in general ! I wish MSG 77 was better represented sonically. I’ve never been able to get deep into those shows for that reason. my random 77 thoughts 6/7 I’m not a fan of because Jimmy is just too rough. Energetic, but rough. 5/22 I think one of best energetic shows of tour. 5/30 Bonzo sounds asleep 5/26 one of my personal faves very relaxed dynamic show with some nice fluid playing from Jimmy 6/23 my fave Zep show ever Jimmys best night of tour imho 5/21 I think is decent esp end of show 4/27 Jimmy is weak 7/17 ok in some parts when Jimmy wakes up later on and Roberts voice warms up. Strong Bonzo show 6/21 legendary show super energy but again, IMHO Jimmy a little too coked up and frantic in parts, still epic possible best Bonzo performance ever 6/25 solid show Jimmy very inspired in parts Robert very strong but Bonzo has downshifted 7/20 😂😂😂😂

Alcoholism made him a Jekyll/Hyde kinda person, very tragic. Alcohol is a depressant, I’m sure that didn’t help his confidence either.
