To my fellow Americans: Merry Christmas!!! To the British Empire (current and former): Happy Christmas!!! To everyone else: Nollaig Shona! Nadolig Llawen! Gleðileg jól! Fröhliche Weihnachten! Hyvää Joulua! Feliz Navidad! Buon Natale! Joyeux Noël! vrolijk Kerstfeest! Glædelig jul! God Jul! С Рождеством! メリークリスマス! मैरी क्रिसमस! Jabulela Ukhisimusi! חַג מוֹלָד שָׂמֵח! Καλά Χριστούγεννα! Natale hilare! I am having problems with my computer and phone, so I don't know how many Christmas pms I will be able to send, if at all, so allow me to take this time to wish all of my friends here and the Forum as a whole a holly, jolly Christmas and a Happy New Year! May 2015 be twice as good a year as 2014. If you did not get all or any of the Led Zeppelin reissues, may Santa rectify that lack by this Christmas morning. Or perhaps some other Led Zeppelin item you long for. You can keep track of Santa here: http://www.noradsanta.org/ A warm Christmas cheer to each and every one of you and your families...especially you, Sam. Wish you were still with us, Brett...and Charles.

Mr. All-American. Hope you had gravy to go with that? Guinness, steak and mushroom pie. Peas and carrots and pearl onions. Salad of butterleaf lettuce, tomatoes, cranberries, watercress, pine nuts and burrata. Hunk of crusty sheepherder's bread. Bottle of Abita Purple Haze beer.

Congratulations! My local Amoeba still has numbered editions of I, III, and IV on the shelves. Didn't see any II or HotH. So if you are one of the unnumbered classes, maybe you can return your unnumbered box and order thru Amoeba.com? Hahaha! Yeah, no doubt. I have to say that was very unprofessional on JB Hi-Fi's part. Makes you wonder how many people got stuck with unnumbered boxes due to their incompetence?

Once I speak my peace, I usually leave it at that unless someone asks me a direct question or directs a comment towards my post, but I know I am on here somewhere defending "In Through the Out Door". You and Juxtiphi are not alone by any means. By the way, when I mention the mix, I am not saying the entire album doesn't sound good. For the most part, instrumentally it sounds a-ok. My issue is with how buried Plant's vocals are on some of the songs...in particular the songs in which Plant wrote some of his best lyrics, i.e. "Carouselambra". A lyrics sheet would have been helpful to include with this album. Much more so than "Houses of the Holy", the only Led Zeppelin album with the lyrics included. Ironic, since "Houses of the Holy" features possibly the most clear vocals Plant recorded with Led Zeppelin. Merry Christmas.

Joe Cocker's first album, "With A Little Help From My Friends"...as a kid I loved seeing the picture of Jimmy on the back cover. And Chris Stainton reminds me a little of Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes. "Just Like A Woman" is a very underrated track from this album...and another one that features Jimmy on guitar. -
Led Zep @ Ewell Tech College Oct. 26, 1968
Strider replied to sam_webmaster's topic in Led Zeppelin Live
Always cool to get new information on Led Zeppelin gigs. Especially from the murky 1968-69 period pre-Led Zeppelin I, when they were sort of flying under the radar and record keeping and media reports weren't always accurate...or even available. -

jb126 and I tied for the win this week. Nobody really had a great week...a lot of red slashes on everyone's sheets, topped by in_the_evening, who suffered thru a dismal 4-12 week. More importantly, jb126 picks up another game on Walter and two more games on Anjin-san. Walter, you should have stuck with your Miami pick. Her lead going into the final week is 5, 8, 10, and 12 games on the rest of the top 5 finishers. It will take a monumental collapse and some creative picking for someone to topple her. Week 16 Results jb126: 10-6* Strider: 10-6* apantherfrommd: 9-7 Bong-Man: 9-7 LedZeppfan77: 9-7 paul carruthers: 9-7 Walter: 9-7 zepscoda: 9-7 Anjin-san: 8-8 ebk: 8-8 mack: 8-8 jabe: 7-9 in_the_evening: 4-12 * = Winner of the Week Season Standings After 240 Games 1. jb126: 165-74-1**** 2.

I guess he wasn't feelin' alright, but did he die with a little help from his friends? Strangest singer I have ever seen. R.I.P. Joe Cocker.
