  1. Well, how can you prove or disprove it if it can't be featured as a mystery?

    Do you actually think that between exhausting tours and recording LPs they'd care for lyrics that would make senseif the record was played backwards?

    It's non-sense and it's not a mystery, it's infact pure logic... It's bullshit and there's plenty of threads here about that.

  2. He was the doctor the band had on board for the 1977 tour, most likely to keep an eye on Jimmy who was getting wafer thin and addicted to smack. One can't help but think that he was also there to provide prescription drugs as well.

    Can't see why not, The Stones had one in their STP tour back in 1972 for some "medicine" prescriptions.

  3. This is the only photo I've been able to find with tangible proof of the Atlanta video cameras "in action." In other words, check out the photo of Page's head on the video screen in the upper left portion of the photo (this photo was taken by Laurence Ratner and included in his Live Dreams book; I had not seen this posted anywhere before):

    I can't understand the prespective of the photo hahaha, It's either Small or it was ver far from the actual stage.

  4. I love the album, and I can honestly say it's in my top 3 favorite albums. It has a lot of diversity, that's true, but it has the "kick in the balls" kinda thing to it that only Zeppelin could do. Carouselambra is Zeppelin doing retro before it even began! I agree with Knebs friend, I never listen to one song off this album, whenever I pick one from it, I end up playing them all over and over again. From the beginning to the end - welcome to the last album that Zeppelin ever recorded, I think I actually said this- the best album to end a decade of partying.

    "We had Madison Square Garden numbers that didn’t make the film, and then the rest of the sources were video sources that were just relative to what was going on on the screens, on the gigs."

    The concerts Jimmy is talking about can be: Atlanta 1973, Earls Court 23-24-25, Seattle, AND Pontiac. I seriously wonder whether he has the Pontiac footage.

    Knebworth wasn't intended to end up as a video DVD, probably as a live album, so yeah Jimmy was talking about those and many more others that were projected to the crowd that we don't know of. Zurich is possibly the same thing - multitracked show (we all know that Jimmy wanted to release a chronological live album with snogs from each year) and possibly a video too, as Knebs as said. I am fairly certain that there are at least two multitracked shows from each tour Zeppelin did from 1970 to 1980.

  6. A quote from The Concert File about the May 4, 1973 show:

    "A closed circuit TV system projected the concert onto giant screens for the benefit of distant spectators."

    I would love to believe that the show exists as pro shot as much as the next guy, but just because it was filmed doesn't mean it was recorded.

    But in 1977 it's completly moronic for the existence of only one concert from that tour, the biggest tour that Zeppelin. I would even go as far as saiyng that there are probably multitracks from the LA run from this tour and very possibly from 1975 to. We all know how Jimmy loved and felt about the way Zepp played when they were in Cali, so there is probably pro shots for those shows to. Not seeing cameraman doesn't mean the show wasn't, but there being a screen and and in house system projecting the footage so the fans can see clearly doesn't mean it was recorded either.

  7. Dallas Knebs, Zurich has no proven evidence. Again, it's just a rumor. Houston is a more wide known rumor, but people AT THE SHOW said the video screens were not in action. Have you seen photos from Pontiac? They clearly have crew members on the stage. Same with Atlanta 1973, which hasn't surfaced yet. I'd love to see a properly filmed 1973 show.

    Maybe with pontiac they wanted to release a live dvd performance and felt the need to use camera man for better shots... It's very possible that the houston show was also recorded through cameras from the upper wings that would not be available to the audience.

    Would be really cool to have a properly recorded 1973 show indeed. I always thought that Zepp should just take the fantasies out and release a three DVD set with the three MSG shows from 1973.
