    Hot Pics of Robert

    in Photos

    Posted · Edited by ledzepfilm

    Okay-I know this is not a picture but one of the forum members showed it to me. It's a cover band from British Columbia. The lead singer makes a pretty convincing Robert, but doesn't sound like him. I know if I was single, I might be tracking him down... ;)

    That was me. :D

    Doesn't sound EXACTLY like him but compare his scream at the end of WLL to the vocals from We're Gonna Groove from RAH. Tell me that he doesn't do a good impression of a fresh and early Robert. Afterall, it's not easy to nail his vocal style.

    I was amazed at the amount of editing Page did on SIBLY compared to the other TSRTS tracks...why so much editing?

    (I get the feeling it was due at least in part to what Zappa would undoubtedly call "Cocaine Decisions" but who knows :lol: )

    As well as the point that the original film version's editing is extremely poor.

    The Led Zeppelin DVD version of SIBLY is a mix of all three nights, with the 28th contributing one section before the last verse.

    The TSRTS version of SIBLY is a mix of the 27th and 29th. The new version is quite similar but cleaned up.

    The 28th has the best Rain Song everattachicon.gifJimmy the Rain song.jpeg

    That still you posted is not from Madison Square. That was shot at Shepperton Studios in 1974. I'm such a know-it-all when it comes to this stuff. But yeah, the 28th has an amazing Rain Song.

    Also in the new film SIBLY's a similar mix of the 27th and 29th. It's just cleaned up.

    And wow, just as I'm typing this I finished The Rain Song for the new MSG DVD.

    As for the 29th, SIBLY is great. The Celebration Day solo is much better than the one on the 28th, and Jimmy's OTHAFA solo takes you on a long and winding journey through his playing.

    I also can't believe that nobody's mentioned the funky bit of No Quarter on the original album from the 27th.

    Completely forgot to post my review of the show from last Friday.

    Around 8:30, a montage started to go on the screen. It featured various Paul photos, video clips, pics of the other Beatles, etc. It went on for about 25 minutes (I was very bored!) and started to repeat before a set of sparkles forming the Hofner bass appeared, causing the crowd to go nuts. A slow and steady version of The End's signature lyrics (And in the end...etc.) and ending was playing as the sparkles went away. The lights dimmed for a second and flashed bright, and Paul strolled onto the stage as my iPhone was filming. The video screens turned on and a big cheer went around the stadium. Paul did the "hot, hot!" thing that signals that we're a good audience. He opened with a powerful, bullshitless Eight Days a Week into Juniors Farm (Wings song.) The energy was flowing through the stadium and everyone knew it. Paul came on (in weak speaking voice) and said "DC, what's up?" followed by a big cheer. I think I thought that he was trying to be modern on his introduction. He then went into All My Loving, which is always a show stopper. Paul took off his jacket at this point, and explained that this would be the only costume change of the night. He changed from his Hofner to his Les Paul, covered with stickers and did Let Me Roll It, another Wings song followed by an outro inspired by Hendrix's Foxy Lady. Afterward, Paul talked about Hendrix, including the sudden performance of Sgt. Pepper he did two days after the album was released. To this day, Paul says it's the best tribute he's ever seen. He did another Wings song before changing to the Epiphone Casino, the original guitar he used for the next song, Paperback Writer. Paul then jumped onto the piano (with a plush grasshopper on it, referring to a small grasshopper invasion on Paul's back at a prior show) and dedicated the next song to his wife, and told us a story about a time him and his wife were on vacation and lying about the weather. Since I didn't know the song (My Valentine, which was on his "Kisses on the Bottom" record), I got food. He then did Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five, another Wings song, before doing a great The Long and Winding Road and Maybe I'm Amazed. He then did one of my favorite Beatles songs, We Can Work it Out! After doing Another Day, he did a great rendition of And I Love Her and of course he had to do Blackbird, in which he rose on a rising platform with graphics. I started to film portions of the concert after this. Before the next song, Here Today, he paid tribute to John, asking for a cheer from us in tribute to him and explained that this song is about a conversation he wish he had with him, and gave us advice to say something to someone we want to tell them before they die. He jumped onto the "psychedelic piano" for Your Mother Should Know, with the scene from Magical Mystery Tour interspersed with pictures of Paul and his mother (I think) playing in the background, and Lady Madonna, which was great to hear as always. For the next song, Paul said that this next song is the first time he's played it in DC, which was All Together Now with really interesting graphics in the background. The next song was also one he hasn't played in DC yet, which was Lovely Rita. Very interesting choice for a Sgt. Pepper song. He continued the set with Mrs. Vanderbilt and a beautiful Eleanor Rigby before doing Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!. He then paid tribute to George, explaining that the ukulele he's holding was from George, and told a story that Paul told George that he learned one of his songs on ukulele. He then played Something, which was probably one of the best from the night. He then played the energetic Ob La Di, Ob La Da and Band on the Run. I stopped filming after Band on the Run, but I had to restart for Back in the USSR. He jumped on the piano for the last three songs, which are pretty much McCartney's anthems. He started with a great Let it Be, then continued with Live and Let Die, which had the amazing fireworks and explosions. I LOVED those. Then, he jumped on the psychedelic piano for Hey Jude, which is ALWAYS a pleasure to hear from him. After maybe a 2 minute crowd "intermission", he came out with the American, British, and DC flag as the audience went crazy. He did a great Day Tripper, Hi Hi Hi, and Get Back, which he alternates between that and I Saw Her Standing There. Then, to tease us more, he leaves once again and comes back to play the greatest quintet of encores you'll ever see. He did Yesterday, which is definitely something to see, Helter Skelter which was very energetic, and ended with Golden Slumbers-Carry that Weight-The End, which ending the show on a very high note (the three way guitar solo between Paul, Rusty, and Brian was great!). I was flabbergasted. How could a 71 year old man do a 3 hour show like that almost nightly? I don't know, but as soon as fireworks were going off to end the show, I was trying to leave the stadium. On the way to the parking garage, I picked up a shirt from a scalper for 10 bucks only to find that it had a nice small hole in the back of it. Definitely beats getting one for 40, though.
