Townshend does have some valid concerns, but far too often he acts like an ass!
Valid concerns yes, but he does act like an ass. I think its interesting when you've got Pete, Jack Bruce and others saying nasty things about Zeppelin, they sound like bitter old farts.

Great pic, am I the only one who's never seen a picture of Jimmy wearing a cross? Also, is that a young Dave Lewis with him?
I can say I've never seen him wear a cross, and yes that is Dave Lewis.

Okay that photo is awesome, with the famous Tapestry behind him. I wonder what it actually went for when it was auctioned off a few years back?

I really need to do more Zeppelin searching on eBay. Actually, I am now. That has made me happy today.
It can be dangerous...I can be on there for hours. I have found some great new T-Shirts (Zep, Jimmy etc.). I collect Zep books, mags etc. so thats usually where I find my stuff.

God I'm just loving this thread!
I love hearing stories from all ages and groups as I can really identify with most of the things that have been said so far.
I was born 9 years after the group has disbanded so of course never got to see them in the 70's, let alone in any projects after that. I missed all the good stuff I guess^^ Anyways me and my daddy always used to listen to records on our player while I was growing up from all sorts of musical genres. Soul, Jazz, Rock, just about anything. Funnily enough Zeppelin wasn't amongst these things cause my dad, alhough having grown up in London, never got into Zeppelin. He would have had the right age as well to see em in concert, but he somehow just wasn't interested.
Fast forward to 2004: when I was 15 I was a pretty normal girl music-wise, listened to contemporary stuff just like everybody else. That was the time when I recall my first conscious encounter with Zeppelin which was the Immigrant Song. I rather liked the song, but never bothered to sit down and listen to it properly (BIG MISTAKE!!). So a few years passed by until 2008 when I heard the same song again and finally made my mind up that I would go on Youtube, search for the song and listen to it. So I did and I still liked it, but it didn't quite "hit" me if you know what I mean. At that time I was caught up in another passion (or obsession, call it whatever you like) with another group so maybe the time hadn't come yet.
On Youtube you always get these suggestions on the right hand side and the first was Black Dog and the second was Rock N Roll. I listened, rather liked them and put them on my iPod. And then came Since I've been loving you. Don't ask me how I found the song, but I did and slowly but surely the flame inside of me became bigger and bigger, but not quite hitting its pinnacle yet. That was my fav song so far and I listened to it quite a lot, got Led Zeppelin III on CD for Christmas 2010, but never did I dream that Zeppelin would ever explode into my life like it did. I even had a poster of them on my wall which I bought in 2010 while I was in England and still they didn't quite inflame like they did a few months later.
Fast forward again to April 2011: I was going through some turmoil in my life. I was unhappy with loads of things and people (mostly people who called themselves friends but weren't) and I knew that I had to change something but as I'm a little coward I waited a while until I finally did something. What was my incentive to do something you might ask. Well, it was Zeppelin.
One day in April I was still pondering over my next steps and tried to find answers to my questions to no avail so, as always, I put on some music (music is my elixir of life you know). I went on Youtube cause I couldn't be bothered to use my iPod and Since I've Been Loving You was my first choice. Amongst the suggestions was Going to California from the 2003 DVD (which I didn't know then) and, I don't really know how to say it else, I was totally drawn to this video. I'm a spiritual person and I believe in fate and something inside of me just told me to click on that video, so I did. You see the crowd at the beginning, then you see Robert and Jimmy and the Robert starts to sing "Spent my days with a woman unkind, smoked my stuff and drank all my wine"..I had never heard that song before and as Jimmy proceeded into his solo with Jonesy I was in tears. I had rarely in my life heard such a beautiful melody and such beautiful lyrics. Maybe it's because I'm a lost flower-power child born in the wrong decade that this song appealed to me. The final blow for me came when Robert sang "Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems"..That did it for me and I never looked back. This line provided all the answers I was looking for, it provided someone who told me not to worry and that it'll all fall into place. And it did. I'm playing the video right now as I'm writing this and it still gives me the same feeling as it did 5 months ago. The same feeling of safety and love.
Since that day I bought all the CDs and DVDs I could get my hands on, spent time trying to find my way through the huge Zeppelin universe. With every day that passed I came to appreciate Zeppelin more and more and with every new song I heard I came to fall in love more and more. There is something very special in their songs that cannot be put into words, a feeling of content and passion for what they do which is conveyed to the listeners. Same goes for their live performances.
There are absolutely no words for all the feelings I have when listening to them, let alone watching them, but I would say that it's a mixture of respect, appreciation and sheer amazement. Since Zeppelin entered my life I feel different, like I've found what I was looking for.
Wow your post brought tears to my eyes. These songs that these four men brought into the world are so meaningful to all of us for different reasons. I listen to Tangerine & Thats The Way, so pretty and sweet, that I've been known to tear up depending on my mood of course. Thats the great thing about this band there is a song for every emotion, mood, event etc.. Jimmy's acoustic work touches me so deep. Great story so glad your a Zep fan now.

One day in the Summer of '69, we were riding around in the neighborhood weed dealer's car, sampling his wares (it was black hash that day) and he pops in this 8-track tape that I never heard. Song after song, it just kept getting better. Finally, when I was able to speak, l asked the dude "who the hell are these guys ? " He says "ever hear of The Yardbirds ? It's the guitar player's new band, Led Zeppelin". WOW, l thought, even the name is awesome ! What l clearly remember being the "hook" was the guitar solo in How Many More Times echoing over & over in my head. It was the coolest, heaviest & most spaced out thing I ever heard, and it still may be. Soon after, l got my first car (66 Mustang) had an 8-track installed in the glove compartment and bought LZ I as my 1st tape.
WOW 8-tracks now that takes me back. Had Zep on 8-tracks, Rush, Sabbath, back then we thought 8-tracks were the coolest thing because we didn't have to get up and flip the album over and we could have them in the car. Except for the big clunking sound when it changed songs it was great. How Many More Times one of the best grooves ever.

Thank you!! I'd love to have it, but it's very expensive....
Yes it was. Fortunately I signed on early got a reduced rate, the number I wanted and could make the payments over three months. It is so beautiful, if your ever in Des Moines, Iowa Id be happy to share it with you.
-
This is a really hard question since HOTH is my fave Zep album.
For me it has to be "Dancing Days". I just love it!
I noticed you had listed Dick Dale several times, one of my favorite artisits, my husbands Band the Delstars opened for him a couple of times in the 90's he is amazing.

Hello I wanted to join the conversation about Jimmy and Crowley. Those who mentioned his involevement with Thelema are correct. Crowley left the Order of the Golden Dawn after a falling out with some of the leaders and formed his own Hermetic Order of Thelema. If you go the Lashtal - The Aleister Crowley Society web site they have section featuring Jimmy. Aleister Crowley was and is the most recognizable face of Thelema as he is the founder, but there are many more. There is a great deal of overlap with the Golden Dawn so reading this information is helpful in understanding the philosphy. Israel Regardie's work is very accessible. I too beleive in the teaching of Magick and Thelema it is a perspective in which you view the world and your place in it; as well as a working toward spiritual awakening.
"Do what thou will is the whole of the law". In terms of his representation of the Hermit in TSRTS it was an expression of his belief system, a symbol. Thelema and Astrology are very linked and play a major part in the thelemic teachings. The Hermit in the Tarot is also associated with his/our birthdate Jan. 9. It is the 9th card in the Major Arcana. I don't think Jimmy has left thelema behind at all.
Wanted to clarify the comment about the Tarot. The Hermit card number '9' represent the birthdate of the 9th. The devil card in the tarot deck represents Capricorn.

Thanks for posting this, I checked out the video's more nonsense taken out of context. Perhaps Jimmy should purchase and refirbish it, unless of course the govt. wouldn't let him.

A couple of years ago our usual crew was attending the Iowa State Fair (family & friends) as we were walking through the outdoor stage area my friend said, "Is that GTBT being played on the PA?" I said "nah its a bango, no one's singing, that sure as hell isn't Jimmy". We got closer and it was Zeppelin's music being covered. We asked the sound guy what he was palying it was The Pickin On Zeppelin disc. God please don't tell me someone's heard it on an elevator?

I like the album but agree Jimmy should have produced it.

I saw them live in 95' fourth row, they were amazing one of the best concerts I've seen. I have every disc and I find myself always going back to the old stuff.
