I think it was in the flesh. Primus is one of those bands, where I never heard anything like it at the time. I like the hyper rhythmic style combined with the heavy sound. They def seem to be students of capt beefheart. They are one of those bands where I only have one album from them though...along with ween, chemical bros, keller williams, victor wooten, stuff like that, where the material was so new and different at the time. It's the time and money issue w record collecting. Will check out more of their material on the thread.

I've had the Bob Seger record, against the wind, on vinyl..since I was a kid. It was a cool record to have in a limited record collection. Along with John Fogerty, Billy Joel, John Mellancamp and Bruce Springsteen....I think they all are good singer songwriters and their records hold up well today, considering that there are soo many singer songwriters these days. There wasn't a lot of variety of singer songwriters back in the 70s/80s compared to today...but my 2cents is they were and are very good.

I worked for a guy several months ago, that worked for megaforce records. He talked about how john zazula was a rock music memorabilia collector and how he started the record label. He described metallica as crunchy sounding, like the ramones, yet metal. This guy saw metallicas first show on Long Island, with about 50 people there and they knew it was good, but had no idea how huge thrash metal was gonna be.

Sorry for responding late here, I saw them in 03 I think. There were some cool instrumental jams and a pink floyd cover. I got sailing the seas.., from early 90s, maybe their breakthrough commercial record.

In regards to plant's tone/inflection, singing....a lot of gentle/different people there....everywhere everywhere Not only does it not sound like "devil" to me....but it doesn't make sense, imo. I find it amusing and cool to think of kids in the 70s, seeing this movie and being captivated though, to hear this complete other side to zep, from their records and realizing that there is so much more to them, than they thought...and then the search for bootlegs begins.

At the time I posted this, I was referring to the subject of classical music. I am sorry if it was taken as against anyone's taste in music...because it honestly wasn't. Actually my friend gave me a box set of classical music, that he didn't want, and I really tried to, get it, but it lost me...and the box set was then lost to hurricane sandy a few years ago. I was just in a bored frame of mind, making random posts.

I liked them, the last internationale, I hear a chrissie hynde vibe vocally and ramones vibe with the music. I stumbled upon a primus set many years ago at bonarroo, such an interesting live music experience...a hybrid fusion is only way I can describe it. I bought one record back in the 90s, so over that 20 year span, have no idea what they were playin that night, after a heavy heavy rain storm. But along with bob dylan, govt mule and robert randolph...primus was the last band I saw, before leaving and trying to hear a little bit more music.

Hmm?

The photogs in the museums with the blown up stuff with clarity...

Brenda and Eddie were still goin steady in the summer of 75

Time machine...good song

I always heard different.....and I feel sorry for the folks that heard "devil" in the movie theathres in the 70s...everywhere, everywhere....

Not boring....

Boring....

I was gonna call myself ledidiot.....but I chose something between stupid and normal.

I gotta say being a kid growing up in the 70s and listening to zep, doors, beatles on record players and then suddenly having the 80s as my teenage years.....thank GOD for metallica, megadeth and anthrax.

One of my favorite spoken word records,cds is jack kerouacs....and I can't imagine jimmy page adding anything to that.....it's soooo cool that jimmy formed led zeppelin and found his way out of artistic solitude.

Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes, Jones Beach, 2k

The Felice Brothers, run chicken run

The other day, I saw a page/plant vid of, over the hills and far away, youtube, cafe de paris 1997...never saw this before, small club footage.

The Felice Brothers

I agree that the companion cd plays like a solid lp. I've liked when plant didn't over sing sibly, in 07 and in 79, so this version is much different with plant taking it down a level. The raw, live studio sound is so real and interesting sounding on all the stuff. The heavy country blues of Jennings farm is phenomenal. On this record, I see immigrant song and sibly getting radio airplay and satellite radio playing everything else.

I bought a cd of this sometime in the 90s, titled round and round. It says 75 on cd, ofcourse agree was 73. With page and bonham blowing up 50s rock songs, it sounds so punk rock to me, like c'mon everybody from dvd as well. Ya think they may have jammed on this stuff in the studio. With the way buddy holly recorded drums, makes me think bonham would have been inclined to want to play one of his songs. Also with this sound check, it shows they at least toyed with playing some of their own simpler stuff, other than mostly the big epic songs.

Thanks for posting that 77 Kashmir. For some reason I could not find it on YouTube, conneyfogles songs from that show, were the only ones I could find. The Achilles from that night is amazing too....there is no, at last the birds have flown, drum fill/cymbal splash. Bonham is twisting, turning, downshifting and accelerating in almost another state of being. Page is too, a perfect example of his tight but loose style. With Kashmir...I hear what everyone has said, what a great recording and balance of sound here. The band has a real uniform approach to the song too, so cool. Jpj's keyboards are very good and the recording allows him to be heard in nice sound balance as well. Wow, they were really on that night. I'm having a zep fan déjà vu with this show...my brother had an inglewood show on vinyl, but when everything went to cds, we both had sold/traded most of our vinyl for cds. I'm gonna have to search out my cassettes and see if this is the show one day.

Hey Chicago, hope your gigs are goin great brother. I still find alot of things from most media hard to believe. Being that prince is a brilliant artist and independent with his own label and so forth, I don't understand if prince would promote/gain negative media attention for promotion through media. Page would have clearly been talking about the sound of the venue, the o2...not the music.
