^That's a great photo. Have you guys come across any reviews of the May 4, 1973 concert?

Yes, I read it too. http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/308-zeppelin-mysteries-hosted-by-steve-a-jones/page-241#entry706187 Even though it's printed on the official album sleeve, nobody believes in that story.

"Three hours", exclaimed backstage well-wisher George Harrison. "The Beatles were never on stage more than 40 minutes when we were doing concerts." Page: "I purposely stuck the first two notes of 'Something' on 'The Rain Song.'" Thanks for that quote, Sam. Please see the PM, by the way.

Do you guys have any quotes by the Beatles on Zep or vice versa? This is all I was able to find: Lennon: "I think in any of those terms. You know, I just think it's either something I like or don't like or it's heavy or it's light. I like heavy music, I call it rock. I like Zeppelin, I've only heard a couple you know, they're okay." Harrison to Bonham: "The problem with your band is that you don't do any ballads." McCartney's lyrics in a Wings song "Rock Show": What's that man holding in his hand? He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back when It's Silly Willie with the Philly Band, could be, oo wee Tell me, what's that man moving cross the stage? It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page It's like a relic from a different age, could be, oo wee

Atlanta was videotaped but I'm not sure if it was multitracked too. http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/19646-4-may-1973-atlanta/ We're in search for photos.

Actually, it's from 5/26/77.

I'm telling you, some of those 9 canceled shows were intended to be filmed for TSRTS. This can be inferred from the passage I posted. That would make Cole's book the best bio of the band, and I think it is. And scylla, thanks for your review. I'll be buying that book soon.

Can somebody tell me what's so special about this Hoskyns book?

But that's some shitty logic. They could've played 2-3 concerts in 1974 at a filming-friendly venue (something that MSG is not. Not in 1973 at least) just for the sake of filming. But I'm afraid these questions cannot be answered because there are too many peculiarities involved. Thanks for the replying, Steve.

So the fantasy sequences were used to disguise the gaps? Why didn't they just shoot another concert? I can't believe this entire Shepperton stuff and fantasy sequences cost less than filming of another concert would cost.

It's included on the booklet of TSRTS and all passages are somehow related to the film.

Read it again.

"To generate talk"? Okay, let me dig up the quote. The liner notes of the 2007 edition of TSRTS: Yeah man, I'm making this stuff up.

Yeah. The Song Remains the Same was intended to include 1975 footage too. I looked into the tour archives and there were 9 shows that were canceled because of Plant. So my guess is that some of these shows were intended to be filmed, but I still don't get this - why didn't they shoot one of their earlier 1975 shows?

Steve, do you know any details about the filming of TSRTS in 1975? I'm fairly sure I've read in When Giants Walked the Earth or Cole's autobiography that several 1975 dates were planned to be filmed but it didn't happen because of Plant's accident. So two questions: 1. What dates were planend to be filmed? 2. Zep played 53 shows in 1975. Why didn't the band film any of these? Were they waiting for the later part of the year or what?

Kashmir on the Les Paul? Bad boy, Jimmy.

Yes.

Van Halen did not invent tapping, and neither did Steve Hackett.

And how do posts like this add to the discussion? And yeah, no need to quote pics in every one of your repulsive posts. It wastes bandwidth. Just ban this assclown already.

That Rihanna photo is sick.

Just wanted to share this: http://bit.ly/12kZH1j

Are they going to record an album? It'd be much better than this useless touring.

Cool. Daltrey has even said Page is one of his favorite guitarists.
