    Livin' long enough to see Pontiac Silverdome 1977 released on DVD. 1970 Bath, 1971 Japan soundboards, 1968 Europe and UK tours are also ones I hope to live long enough to see.

  1. Andrew Robinson ("Scorpio") and Eddie Muller introducing "Dirty Harry" this past Saturday morning at the Chinese Theatre during the TCM Classic Film Festival.
  2. Love both of these. Almost hard to believe they were directed by the same guy.
  3. Who is putting this speculation out there?
  4. Sounds like an exciting happy time. Hope the guy proves worthy of your daughter.
  5. Lamb korma and garlic naan. Masala chai.
  6. Looking up the astronomical charts for 1970 shows that the sun set in Bath at 9:30pm on June 28, 1970. Even allowing for how the camera usually makes it seem lighter than it really is...I remember when Tiger Woods was playing in near-dark conditions even though it still looked like the sun was out watching on TV...it seems obvious that the band went on some time before sunset, probably around 8:30pm. Still a great story, if slightly apocryphal.
  7. Despite all of Billy Corgan's rage, he is still just a A) Fool on a stage B ) Baldheaded sage C) Product of his age D) Rat in a cage
  8. It is a shame Norm McDonald wasn't alive to rejoice yesterday. But it's also a shame Nicole and Ron aren't still alive. More proof that life isn't fair. Before the verdict. After the verdict.
  9. Pretty interesting list, Steve. I am with you on "Celebration Day"...I frequently binge on "Celebration Day" from 1971. I wish they had kept that song in that arrangement for the 1972 tour. I would have died to hear that at the Forum or Long Beach Arena in 1972. Not that I am scoffing at the 1973 "Celebration Day"...it was quite a treat to hear that and it gave the concert a real power surge coming after "Rock and Roll" like that. But the 1971 CDs, with Plant's voice still intact and with Jimmy playing it on the 12-string and going wild in the outro solos and with Jones and Bonzo going thermonuclear on the rhythm, are on a whole 'nother level.
  10. Went to a Boris Karloff triple-feature tonight. Principio et finem similia.
  11. My buddy in Austin took this photo.
