    What ever happened to the rumored new live albums Page had talked about?

    Mr. SAJ and Wolfman, I apologize if this should not be asked on this thread. With respect to Jimmy’s live albums that he has talked about over the years. Do you guys know if he recorded pretty much all of their live shows? I guess what I am asking is, he talked about the chronological album through the years. Is it a good guess that he has a ton of, if not all of their shows in storage or somewhere and it is a matter of cleaning them up for release? Again sorry if this is not on topic. 

    Most shows were recorded but most are not multi-tracks. This means Page would never release them.

    BIGLY on 1977 Tour...

    in Led Zeppelin Master Forum

    I found this post on FB kind of interesting. I never knew that BIGLY was supposed to be  on '77 Tour Setlist. Damn shame, I would have loved to hear that.

     

    Led Zeppelin had begun rehearsing in November 1976 for their 1977 US Tour, By January they moved to Manticore Studios in Fulham, an old theater owned by Emerson Lake and Palmer.
    Many of the pics were taken by Pennie Smith and published along with an interview by Roy Carr in the Feb 26, 1977 issue of NME, Oh and an interview with Page published in NME November 20, 1976 states that rehearsals began two weeks earlier. All Jimmy's interviews from that day at SwanSong in November mention that they will begin their US tour in February, in fact it begun in April, so not sure what happened there.
    Jimmy also discussed in an interview with Chris Salewicz in February 1977, "I'm pretty confident. Everyone's confident. As far as the playing goes there's no problems at all. We've got such a variety in there - Oh, 'Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You' is another number that we've been using pedal steel guitar instead of the usual. So it sounds pretty different from the original."

    Hey Hey What Can I Do - Closing Zep III

    Hey Hey What Can I Do has always been one of my favorite Zep songs. All four members put on an excellent performance here, with what I think was actually one of Plant's finest vocal performances on record, and the song's vibe matches the third album perfectly. It would have been a knockout closer instead of Hats off to Roy Harper, which seems a bit of a throwaway.

    I understand that they only ever intended to have it be the B-side for the Immigrant Song single, but still, this would have been such an amazing way to end the third album. With that, I think III would be right up with II and Physical Graffiti as my favorite Zeppelin albums. Curious about anyone else's opinions on this?

    100% agree. I have always said this too. Hats Off To Roy Harper is the only useless Zep track imo. HHWCID would have been the perfect ending to Zep III. (esp. the way it just ends). HOTRH sounds like an outtake. Great minds think alike.

    Led Zeppelin 1980

    "Overall, we're dead chuffed with the way this tour has gone". That's a fairly well-known Bonham quote from Summer 1980. The tour was not well covered at all by the press though, leaving fans to fill the information gap at the time and even now, 40 years later.

    The Relf/Plant comparison is grossly insulting to Robert. Relf's self-discipline had simply declined after eight years of having done it all. Plant had equally done it all, even more so, but was also a mere three years removed from the most sobering experience of his life. I do know for a fact he was bored shitless (offstage) while in Mannheim, and elected to leave early for Munich, but that's life on the road isn't it? You can get bored and restless. I personally don't hear him phoning it in onstage during that tour. I do think they did themselves a disservice by not incorporating material from Presence into the setlist.      

    So agree Steve. I love some of the 80's shows but the setlists were strange. Rain Song seemed out of place and the WS/BMS intro to Kashmir did not fit in the early 80's. I would have loved to hear more Presence or songs ever played before.

    Led Zeppelin 50th Anniversary

    Without releasing any new live material, I have to the 50th Anniversary has been a bust. I was really hoping for the rumored How The East Was Won release. Still waiting for the obligatory  "I am going to tour in 2019" from Jimmy still. 😏

    Greta Van Fleet

    I love these guys. Saw them in Philly last year and the energy was amazing. Yes, they are very Zep like live (early days Zeppelin). Their cover of "That's Alright Mama" was fantastic and brought the roof down. Funny how people complain that modern rock sucks but as soon as a new band comes out with a classic rock sound, they are instantly slagged. F the haters. These guys are extremely talented and exciting live. I am a proud Greta Van fleet fan and can't wait to see them again in May!
