Yeah, the WYWH programme was brilliant...but so was the Classic Albums DSOTM episode...unless Page consented to a standalone type programme on Zep's albums, a Classic Albums episode would be the next best thing. Yer right, though, some of the episodes are much better than others.
The DSOTM episode was pretty good, I just think it's in the minority for that series. There are a couple others that are pretty good, but so many others that are pretty much a few segments where they isolate a few tracks and don't offer much in the way of actual info.

For those familiar with the TV series Classic Albums -hour long documentaries based on the making of some of the greatest records of all time, focusing mainly on the studio/production aspects- I am surprised that they haven't tackled a Zeppelin record yet, as Zeppelin's albums would be no brainers for that kind of programme. Thing is, though, which album? Presence would be awesome, but unfortunately the engineer on those sessions (Keith Harwood) is no longer with us...at least Eddie Kramer (second album) and Andy Johns (fourth album) are still around.
I hope they stay away from that particular series. There's a couple that are pretty cool, but most of them are kinda worthless as what went into making the albums.
I'd much prefer, if Page ever did it, that he keep it pretty well in house ala the Wish You Were Here or Quadrophenia docs from the last year or 2.
As for George Martin... I think he's overrated. Great producer no doubt, but I give more kudos to Geoff Emerick as far as getting all those interesting new sounds.

I don't think they had a lot of time for guitar changes, which played into the setlist (Stairway -> TSRTS). BTW, those who were hoping TSRTS would have segued into Rain Song, that would have required retuning the six-string neck. They could have gone from TSRTS into Celebration day (or Carouselambra).
12 string neck for TSRTS, 6 string neck for Rain Song. Me and my buddy kinda assumed that's why they didn't segue into into it, but then wondered how they did it in the old days. First viewing of Celebration Day gave us the answer.
Per the op, I think the Les Paul and the downtuning added alot to Kashmir, just really crushing. No idea which guitar he's used on it through the years, but I've always liked the heavier versions.
I was surprised to see him use the Transperformance gizmo to switch to an open tuning during Whole Lotta Love. Cool touch though.

I useto be a big Guns and Roses fan, I downloaded all the VR stuff but i have never lsitened to it, should I? I also like Stone Temle Pilots
The first album is pretty great. I dig STP quite a bit as well, but the second went too far in that direction and didn't play towards Slash's strengths.

He used the Danelectro for most slide work and if I remember correctly also used it for some of the studio version of Ten Years Gone.
Ten Years Gone was the cream Strat that JPJ returned to him during O2 rehearsals.

I wouldn't mind watching the Eagles truck through their radio classics, but James' Gang in a small place sounds much cooler.

Nice review. Pretty solid album, but it's gonna have a hard time knockin MMJ off the top for best of 2011.
Not gettin why One Sunday Morning is getting so much love though. It's about 8 minutes too long to me.

5th ROW?!? That's awesome dude...prepare to be wowed. If you're lucky, your seats will be slightly left of center, so you'll be between Jeff Tweedy and Nels Cline...Cline has an amazing array of axes and gadgetry. Watching him play is a bit like watching a mad scientist at work. It's the same with Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead.
Definitely pumped for that aspect of it. I was hoping for tix on his side and the first ones to pop up were, so I snagged them. Others had some good luck with waitin around, but I wasn't gonna chance moving a row or 2 up if somethin was gonna be in my way.
Watching the pros up close is so different. Show wise I don't usually care where I sit, but it's cool to be close enough to pick up a few playing tricks from some one as masterful as Nels Cline.

Just been checking if I had the GW 2010 article you're so keen on finding, and I don't.
But... I do have the GW July '03 which tabs out the HTWWW version of Immigrant Song, and just to add to the confusion there is yet another different version of "that" chord for consideration:
E x
B 3
G 3
D 0
A x
E 3
On its own that's a straightforward Gm chord, but in this context - with the bass guitar definitely playing a C underneath - a C9 (no 3rd)
Tabs, eh! Don't you just love them?
For what it's worth I think that this "multiple tabs" situation is telling us that the notes Bb & D (on the G & B strings) are the important ones, and that it's probably not too important which version of the chord you play.
If your band is tight, the sound is good & the crowd is jumping is anyone really going to come up to you after the gig and quibble over whether you should be playing an E or a G in the middle of the chord?
I play it like that, only I fret the Bb on the 1st fret of the a string as well.

It's cool that he had a chance to pay some respect, but this whole thing was pretty exploitative of Bonzo from most of the stuff I've seen of it.
Sorry Jason, but you ain't got the chops or the soul of your father

^I think it's both. Obviously, Tool has a modern heaviness that Zep never approached, but there are definitely times where they are playing distinctly Zep inspired parts. They must use similar scales and keys on certain things. Also, I don't think there are two uber-successful bands that use dynamics and tension building in a more similar fashion.
