More than 50,000 rock fans gathered at Woodinville’s Gold Creek Park over the weekend for a practically non-stop three-day festival of music, events and exhibitions. The first annual Seattle Pop Festival was a marvel of crowd control and smooth organization.
Sunday night was supposed to belong to The Doors but it was stolen right out from under them by the great English blues group, Led Zeppelin.

Jimmy Page interview with Dominic Mohan of The Sun, published July 25, 2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rock is back ... but it will have to do without Led Zeppelin
LED ZEPPELIN guitar legend Jimmy Page has hailed the revival of rock music – reborn from the ashes of manufactured pop.
In a rare and exclusive interview, the godfather of heavy metal announced to The Sun that rock is back — and millions of teenagers fed up with processed pop puppets have fallen under the influence.
And he reckons the huge sales of re-released Led Zeppelin material across the globe prove that new generations are discovering rock for the first time.
But he said a hotly-tipped money- spinning Led Zep reunion tour had not even been discussed by himself, singer Robert Plant and John Paul Jones and seems unlikely to happen.
Jimmy, 59, the man behind the crashing guitar riffs of Rock And Roll, Heartbreaker and Whole Lotta Love, has inspired a refreshing batch of bands with snowballing success, including The White Stripes, The Darkness and Kings Of Leon.
The man who defined rock and roll excess is still as cool as he was in the 1970s.
Rock of Page's ... Jimmy and Sun's Dom
Dressed in a cream suit, he tucks into some Coke as we chat in the VIP lounge of London club The Embassy — although these days it’s strictly Diet.
He told me: "Rock is coming back. It’s about bands having a real honest live feel in the music. Bands like The White Stripes, I love them.
"There’s such a buzz about them, it’s great. Their latest album is brilliant. It doesn’t surprise me, it’s the essence and energy of rock that kicked everything off in the 1950s in the first place, the sort of thing we had in the 1970s and then with the punk thing. The White Stripes are all part of that.

Rock N’ Roll Diary Extra: Led Zeppelin Plays The Boston Garden In 1973
July 20, 2012 12:01 AM
On this day in 1973, the legendary group Led Zeppelin played at The Boston Garden as part of their North American Tour.
The tour took place just after the popular release of the band’s fifth album, Houses of the Holy, which topped the charts immediately. The album includes hit songs such as The Rain Song, Over the Hills and Far Away, No Quarter and The Ocean. The subsequent tour broke records for attendance as the band routinely sold out huge venues. Their concert in Tampa Bay, Florida was in front of a crowd of 56,800 fans.

A book by Christopher Andersen is cited on news.com.au:
"MICK Jagger was so obsessed with Angelina Jolie he bombarded her with phone calls begging to see her, a new book claims.
Excerpts of Christopher Andersen's MICK: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger have surfaced online and they paint a disturbing picture of the Rolling Stones frontman.
Jagger reportedly fell for Jolie in 1997 after she played a stripper in a video for the band's song Anybody Seen My Baby.

Really sad the sight of that empty cabin, I never imagined that this is how modern radio worked.
Back to the recommendations there's something I heard, coincidentally on the radio (The United States of Americana show) this is an upcoming album actually, appears September 28th, not sure if others would like this quiet song, but I liked it the moment they played it on that Americana show.
