    Id have to say Jorgen Angel, I love his photos from the early Zep days.
  2. If you haven't had the chance to see JBLZE I highly reccomended it. I saw them last October here is the copy of my review I did for the Tight But Loose site. October 19th 2010 It was a clear, crisp Tuesday evening in Minneapolis, for the Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience at the historic State Theater. The compact very dedicated crowd were paying their respects to John and Jason. From the opening number of Good Times Bad Times through the encore of Whole Lotta Love (with Theremin) the guys did not disappoint. The music often accompanied film clips of John Bonham as a youth, as well as family clips of John, Jason and Wife/Mother Pat. Jason starts the show narrating about John to the images of the factories and surroundings he had grown accustom as a young man. I attempted to write down the numbers as they were played, but in a rush to my feet for a standing ovation, the pen slipped away, Jason made it very clear that this was a tribute to his Dad and that he and the band members were all fans of Led Zeppelin's music, as were we. On one occasion Jason fought back tears when the applause wouldn't stop as he spoke about his Dad. The music was fantastic; I imagine John would have been very proud of Jason's abilities, he played splendidly and his choice of musicians to help him make his statement. Tony Cantania was fantastic, hitting every break and guitar solo. Dazed & Confused was dazzling, the violin bow was present for the required sound on the song, but Tony did not over do it, by trying to emulate Jimmy's moves. Jason dedicated "Thank-you", to his fans and to his father John; this was a very emotional, bringing many of us to tears. Michael Devin on bass guitar was mesmerizing along with Stephen LeBlanc on keyboards and rhythm guitar, did Jonsey proud. James Dylan was like the cherry on top, with all his heart he belted out one number after another and by the end of the almost three hour show his voice had become a bit raspy, we didn't care, we were on the road to Kashmir. The set list was as follows: Good Times Bad Times Celebration Day Rock-n-Roll I Can't Quit You Black Dog Since I've Been Loving You Your Time Is Gonna Come The Ocean When The Levee Breaks Daze and Confused Over The Hills And Far Away Moby Dick Thank-you The Lemon Song I'm Gonna Crawl Stairway To Heaven Kashmir Whole Lotta Love Kathy Urich - October 20TH 2010
  3. I can't get the song "By The Way" by the red Hot Chilli Peppers out of my head.
  4. Whoa, thanks for that little slice of film hell. It's like a train wreck I couldn't stop watching it. David Lynch like. I have a fascination with serial killers in general. Not because I'm psuchopathic or anything, but interested in the personality of these individuals. I'm a psychologist and work with clients with deviant behavior so I'm ever so interested in what makes these guys tick. Ed Gein of course was schizophrenic which explains his behavior to a degree. There is a more serious film and a documentary on Ed if folks are interested. Given he's the inspiration behind Hitchcock's Psycho and Silence of the Lambs.
  5. I was eleven years old, 1971 and one of best friends older brothers played the first four albums over & over. It was Whole Lotta Love and of course Stairway that first caught my attention; I've been a fan ever since. Since then they have always been my #1, #2 changes frequently with the times from Aerosmith to Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper to Pink Floyd, later to DEVO, The Fall etc. The best thing about growing up in the 70's was the music (certainly not the clothes though I had a pair of killer bell bottoms). When you think about the number of rock bands releasing albums it was crazy. The 60's were great but when it came to hard rock there was nothing like Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper....oh wait Pink Floyd, The Stones, Van Halen etc., etc. After cutting your teeth on music like that the 80's were boring.
  6. AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I love your site. I'm suprised you don't have Jimmy's book?
  7. Never heard of that title let us know what you think of it. Israel Regardie is widley published on the Golden Dawn which would give the work , in my opinion, more credability.
  8. The Crowley Book is good but you need a map given all of the folks mentioned in just the fist 4 chapters. I love Erik Larson, I hope this is as good as Devil in the White City. My last Zep book I read was Tangents Within a Frame Work
  9. I voted the Rain song its so pretty, love Jimmy's guitar. But in all honesty Over the Hills & Far Away is equally awesome....The theres The Ocean....
  10. I would love to talk to him about Astrology. I guess my question would be: Can I see your A.Crowley collection?
  11. Tight But Loose is a fantastic publication if your not already a subscriber nows your chance to grab a piece of Zeppelin history. Dave Lewis puts together a fantastic read.
  12. In no real order 1. 29 palms 2. Burining Down One Side 3. Big Log 4. Shine It all Around 5. Angel Dance
  13. The picture you posted is my absolute favorite of all time. Taken by Jorgen Angel 1970. Back to the original question I collect TBL issues, books, I have some miniture guitars and the Jimmy Page figures. I was fortunate enough to get Jimmy's signed book, number "1960" whicih is also my birth date 1-9-60. Thats the prize in my collection.
  14. 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.
