Every single P/P show was archived on tape from the live-video/audio mix, recorded to Betacam video tape. Every one of these tapes was sent back to the Nochturne Video office in SF and stored in their vault. On occasion P/P called for certain tapes to be pulled out for news promo releases, etc...this is how the pro-shot Irvine '95, Hartford '95, etc. got out.
One of these days they are going to have to release a P/P live DVD. I know now is not the time because it might upset JPJ. Maybe if it becomes clear that there will be no more reunion activity there won't be any reason to hold back on these, as they played better on tour than they did for MTV.

This one...not so much.
T-shirts and silk scarfs don't really go well together.

Lead singers of the hard rock era are a dying breed. We should all appreciate them more than we do because I don't see anybody coming around to take their place.

Rolling Stone's review is much fairer, and matches my opinions on it.

Actually, the song surfaced a little over a year ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-gSHihi7lE
The "measuring a summer's day" lyric was indeed carried over to "Tangerine", but the rest of the lyrics (including the chorus) are different. And there is no proof that Keith Relf wrote any of those lyrics.
Wow, thanks a lot for finding that link. Great stuff!

I believe it was a Trans-Am where Bonzo was pulled over for speeding 90 MPH in L.A.
I also recall a story that Jason told about his father buying a Rolls-Royce for cash and driving it thru the dealership's glass window.
Here's a photo of part of his collection.
Had Bonzo lived maybe he'd have been the UK equivalent of Jay Leno with a veritable private museum.

I have at least one photo of John purchasing a car in Los Angeles, which he had
shipped to England. He was pulled over by the LAPD for speeding in the early '70s
in another car he had bought. I also have another photo of one of his roadsters.
I will post both photos here later unless someone else takes the initiative first.
Sadly, much of his auto collection was sold off over the years.
Do you think he ever had a DUI? If not, that's pretty amazing considering all of the celebrity DUIs of late.

The best musical guest I ever saw on SNL besides SRV was a tipsy Eddie Van Halen jamming with G.E Smith from 1986.
Man, G.E. Smith. Basically The Joker without the white skin. the guy can not stop smiling.

It may not necessarily be backwards echo here. This sort of thing may have been bleed through when Robert was singing without a mic in the same room when the rhythm section was laying down their tracks. It kind of sounds that way to me. I think it's cool whether it's accidental or not. Bonzo's squeaky kit pieces and other noises throughout the albums are a cool humanizing element.

Here are some more questions for the masters...
Could someone detail how Coda was pieced together?
Maybe this is in the liner notes of the current release, but I've only heard about this here and there.
I know the three songs from the ITTOD sessions were originally intended for an extra EP so I'm assuming those were already complete.
Was Walter's Walk "the slog" or Slush or whatever the lost track was from the Houses sessions?
Robert had to record a vocal track to Walter's Walk in 1982, right?
I'm also assuming that Jimmy added guitar overdubs here and there, like the "suboctavider" portion of We're Gonna Groove? Or maybe also the solo?
Did JPJ have anything to do with any of this?
Also, does anyone know exactly why 'Baby Come On Home' wasn't included on LZ I? Was it a running time issue? Why do you think it wasn't put onto Coda originally? How could it have been completely forgotten all that time?

Here's a Led Zeppelin bit of trivia which really isn't a mystery but seems to follow along the lines of Steve's "mysteries" - I really don't care about the answer that much but it seems like it would be good to include in Steve's book or whatever he's planning.
During the Sabbath Heaven & Hell tour Ronnie James Dio once said that members of Zeppelin (at least Page & Bonham, but maybe Page, Plant & Bonham or even all four) came to their soundcheck or was backstage before Sabbath went on and Bonzo started playing Bill Wards drums. Ronnie said it was awesome. When did this happen?
Bill Ward claims to have been on good terms with Bonzo. I think the hard separation between LZ and "heavy metal" bands is a little artificial and frankly, snobbish. In reality a lot of these guys grew up in the same area and had the same musical influences.
-
It's stories like this that explain why the Beatles stopped touring.
-
Just to clarify, it was Robert who attended Jimmy's show at The Centrum in Worcester, MA on October 29th 1988. Robert performed at The Centrum the following night, but
Jimmy definately wasn't there; he was playing The Spectrum in Philadelphia.
Your Kung Fu is better than mine, grasshopper.

I think The Firm's 2nd album is terrible and there are only a few standouts on the 1st. It's all because of the songwriting. I think Jimmy gave Paul too much creative license. Coverdale/Page blows away both Firm albums.
-
On May 18th 1985 Robert Plant took his daughter Carmen to see Jimmy perform with The Firm at the NEC in Birmingham. Robert Plant wept.
A bit of trivia. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page played at around the same time in Boston in 1988. There were lots of rumors that Jimmy would join the stage with Robert. I attended both shows but nothing out of the ordinary happened. I found out later that both had attended eachother's show but that was about it.

In August or September 1968 John Paul Jones was hired for a session with U.K. singer P.J. Proby who was recording an album at Landsdowne Studios in London. John got
the other three members of Zeppelin in on the session as it was good money to be made. From what I recall Robert Plant's voice does not appear on that album; he was simply there. I know it may not make sense for him to have been there if he wasn't going to sing but John said Robert was there.
Then of course there is the first Led Zeppelin album, recorded in October 1968.
You must mean live recordings, right? So far as I know the one to which you refer
remains the earliest known live recording but tapes continue to surface all the time.
There was a soundboard recording of Southampton 1973 which was recently made
available.
What I'd like to know is what lead the earliest tapers to want to bootleg Led Zeppelin? This was before the 1st album was out. Maybe they were really trying to tape the main act they were opening for?

Keep talking like that and they'll have a benefit concert for you after the public gets through with ya.
Sorry, I'm not going to endorse a violent Che Guevara style communist revolution to avoid getting beaten up by Rage thugs.
The hypocrisy of Rage's holier-than-though politics is obvious to everyone except themselves.
Good musicians (except for Zack) but terrible politics.
-
Haha, yeah, Political Strife is GOOD! Because it gets Rage out and touring!
Seems to me they will always have some kind of axe to grind. A bunch of whiners.

The red one used for Kashmir at the O2 has a 'b-string bender', which I'm not sure if he really used. I've only seen vids.
I was missing that B-Bender. He could have used that had they played All My Love.
-
Correct me if I am wrong, but he has used a Les Paul on Kashmir in the past and I am not speaking to the self tuning model. 75 Tour perhaps. I stopped obsessing years ago, so the details are not as sharp as they were when I was 7-20 something years old. I got into them in 1977ish.
Peace
Well, forget what I said earlier. He used a red Les Paul instead of the gold transperformance. It was an unusual choice to be sure, but he did stay away from single coils all night.
-
I spotted at least 4 to 5 guitars he used that night so i don't think he even need to use that clumsy tuning-changer for dadgad purpose.
I think he likes to "brand" songs with particular guitars and he's been using that one with alternate tuning songs like Kashmir and Most High for a long while now.
-
I don't think they had a lot of time for guitar changes, which played into the setlist (Stairway -> TSRTS). BTW, those who were hoping TSRTS would have segued into Rain Song, that would have required retuning the six-string neck. They could have gone from TSRTS into Celebration day (or Carouselambra).

Shirts with snaps instead of buttons. Oh so 70s.

It sounds like Robert says "fuck" or "fuckit" right before Jimmy's solo on Communication Breakdown.

There is one thing that can be said for Hammer of the Gods. Davis makes it read like a novel.
