  1. I was in 5th grade when it happened, that would have made me eleven. The day before I got to stay home from school because I was sick. I was trying to find a way to convince my mom to let me stay home again. She said I was going to school, and that was that. As I was getting ready for school I turned on the tv for a split second. I remember I saw a plane flying and read "terrorist attack" on the ticker. I was going to tell my mom, but I decided not to. I turned the tv off and went to school. I assume what was on tv was either live or tape playback of the second hit. My mom had no idea that anything was happening until she got home from taking me to school and saw it on tv. I had a substitute that day, and the only piece of work I remember doing was a word search about New York, and my teacher's apology about it. I got out of school at 3:00 and I knew that something had happened, but I didn't know what it was. When I got home my parents and I sat and watched the news playback for hours. I remember being sad and crying when I saw the people on the streets in shock and horror and the collapse of the towers. The one image that I can clearly recall from that day is seeing video of someone jumping out of the window and falling towards the ground. The news only played that clip once. Even though it's been 11 years, I still get a little queasy when I see any of the videos of people jumping. I have seen all that I can find of 9/11. I have watched hours and hours of raw video, seen tens of thousands of images, read a large number of reports, everything. Every once in a while I get a burning curiosity and dive again into my archive of footage and images which currently takes up about 600 gigabytes. Why? Because I find it interesting. The audacity of the attack, the shear size of it, the damage it caused, and the mechanics of the event. It was something completely unheard of and unimaginable. 9/11 has since become fodder for crackpot conspiracy theorists and internet d-bags. Go to any world trade center video on youtube and either the comments have been disabled, people are making jokes, or are arguing about how the U.S. had it coming. Most of the theories I have read are so far fetched, it makes me wonder how people can even come up with them. After 11 years it still brings out certain emotions, but they aren't as strong as they once were. I still feel a little twinge when I see the twin towers in a movie. I have respect for the event, the people who died and their families and will never forget what happened.
  2. Surrey, England @ Shepperton Studios (August 1974, MSG reshoots) So I'm guessing that this is contained within TSRTS? Because otherwise that would be major. Nothing new as far as I have heard. There's been some new images, but no video.
  3. Some info I found on this one. Name: Led Zeppelin Performed Live In Seattle Label: Highway Hifi Matrix #: HH Seattle 1 - 4 Apparently this is from a JEMS tape, and, from the info I can find, is the first bootleg pressing of this date. Tracklisting: "It's Been A Long Time" (Rock and Roll) Celebration Day Black Dog Over The Hills and Far Away Misty Mountain Hop Since I've Been Loving You No Quarter The Song Remains The Same The Rain Song Stairway To Heaven The Ocean Whole Lotta Love
  4. This just arrived... Jacket is in poor condition, one of the albums is chipped on the very edge, but it sounds great for the price I paid.
  5. Dazed and Confused - St. Valentine's Day Massacre - 1975-02-14 Uniondale, New York
  6. The only thing that is inscribed in the dead wax is the matrix numbers and "BP". Since I only paid about $35 for it I am quite happy. A trip through the record cleaner and it should be good to go.
  7. Show identified as 09-04-1970 Inglewood (blueberry hill) thanks to the plantation "who threw the firecracker, you want to be locked up, you should be locked up." Or something like that. There appears to be some printing on the label, it's almost completely gone. Matrix # BP-3576-A BP-3576-B Side One Bring it On Home That's The Way Boogie Mama (fragment) Side Two Communication Breakdown (including Good Times Bad Times, For What It's Worth, I Saw Her Standing There) Since I've Been Loving You What Is And What Should Never Be I've yet to nail down a source, that will take a little bit more work.
  8. Knebworth from DVD - Achilles Last Stand (bass, drums, vocal mix - no guitar) JPJ's bass is just killer as always
  9. Anybody know a good part of the movie where the wig is blatantly visible? I should re watch the part where he is reading the story. Also, how about a clear example of the Shepperton reenactment?
  10. Good Times Bad Times - 2007 Rehearsal on reel to reel tape Actually it's Ramble On now.
  11. That whole place is just breathtaking. Out of all of the national parks I have been to, Yosemite is definitely my favorite.
  12. Here are some of my best shots.
  13. Today while searching for pictures was the first time I have seen the arena before the repainting. I really like how it looked in 1968. I kinda laugh at the paint job too, but I can't imagine it being any other way, or it not being in the skyline of downtown Long Beach in it's current state. It's getting rather dull though, they need to touch it up again. Apparently the top is now painted as well, which it wasn't in the above picture.
  14. I thought I'd do a quick summary of the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California. I make an annual "pilgrimage" of sorts to the arena for the Fred Hall fishing and boat show. Being in the arena is pretty damn awesome, and quite amazing to stand in the middle of it and think about the awesome shows that Led Zeppelin put on here, usually with "L.A. Drone" and "Immigrant Song" from How The West Was Won blasting in my headphones. From the Arena Website: http://cc.visitlongbeach.com/arena/ Long Beach Arena The exterior of the Arena is covered by the world’s largest mural, “Planet Ocean”, which features a fabulous array of marine life by internationally renowned environmental artist, Wyland. The Long Beach Arena is a magnificent focal point to the dramatic Long Beach skyline. The Arena seats 13,500 and has 46,000 square feet of exhibit space. The Arena concourse has 29,000 square feet of exhibit space. The Arena Lobby has 19,000 square feet of additional space. ARENA DIMENSIONS Seats: 13,500 Arena floor area: 46,000 sq. feet Lower Concourse: 29,000 sq. feet Ceiling Height: 75 feet Concourse Ceiling Height: 14 feet Arena Lobby: 19,000 sq. feet Lobby Ceiling Height: 40 feet Total Exhibit Space:: 75,000 sq. feet From wikipedia: List of live concert albums and videos made at the arena Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough ,Avenged Sevenfold April 10, 2008 Berth, The Used live CD/DVD combination, February 6, 2007 Louder Now:Partone and Louder Now:Parttwo, Taking Back Sunday live CD/DVD How the West Was Won album, Led Zeppelin, June 27, 1972 Leon Live album, Leon Russell, August 28, 1972 The Night the Light Went On (In Long Beach) album, Electric Light Orchestra, May, 1974 Crossroads 2: Live in the Seventies album, Eric Clapton, July 19, 1974 & July 20, 1974 Turn Around, Live Long Beach, Deep Purple, July 1971 King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents: Deep Purple in Concert album, Deep Purple, February 1976 Live After Death album & Live After Death (video), Iron Maiden, October 14, 1985 Singer Bruce Dickinson orders the crowd, "Scream for me Long Beach" Live...In the Raw album by W.A.S.P., March 10, 1987 Psychedelic Sexfunk Live from Heaven video, Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1990 I Heard a Voice – Live from Long Beach Arena DVD by AFI (release date 2006–12–12) Rock Steady Live DVD by No Doubt 2002 St. Valentine's Day Rock & Roll Massacre: Hustler DVD re-issue, West Coast Sound February 14, 1980 Street Songs (album) Deluxe Edition, Live CD by Rick James July 30, 1981 Medusa: Dare to be Truthful TV special by Julie Brown mid-September 1991 (was also filmed at the Center Theater and Exhibition Hall [3] Pictures 1968: Now:
  15. Sweet little colltection of Zep there, I like Italian IV tape. I have around 60 8-track tapes, mostly 70's pop stuff and some rock. I've replaced all of the pressure pads and sensing foil, they actually can sound pretty good. The only Zeppelin ones I've found for cheap are HOTH and IV. I just can't bring myself to spend $8-$15 on an 8-track.
  16. Yeah. The prices on Zeppelin vinyl are ridiculous, kinda the norm with bootlegs though. And I love how everything is *rare*. They pressed tons of them, they aren't all rare and worth $20 a piece. I just pulled my copy of LZ IV, was surprised to see it was a Porky, Peko Duck, and that side two has a scuff running through the whole side. . Achilles Last Stand, that vinyl haul is great for the price. How you managed to do that on ebay amazes me.
  17. That one should be awesome. A record store in the local area (about 70 miles from L.A.) has part two of that set for $170. If I were going to pay that much, I'd want both parts, but it's seriously tempting.
  18. I just saw one of those film can ones on ebay after having seen it for the first time here, that set looks really cool. Do you happen to remember what is on that one? I'm slowly trying to build a vinyl Zeppelin bootleg archive to listen to. Even if they are already transferred to digital, there's just something different about hearing them on vinyl. Anyway, Zeppelin memorabilia I collect? My latest acquisition is a Led Zeppelin I picture disc. I overpaid by about 30%...but I wanted it. Sound quality is a little below average, but I still like it anyway.
  19. That's some amazing vinyl in that collection. Just imagine the value of those records....do/have you listened to them?
  20. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yms-vY0p-DE& A Led Zeppelin slideshow I made today set to "Rock and Roll" and "Sick Again" from the Snowblind boot. It took way too long, but it was fun.
  21. Dazed and Confused - BBC Sessions (Japanese edit)
  22. As Long As I Have You - 04/24/69 (on reel to reel tape )
  23. As I have read elseware, every camera sent it's feed to the main switch board. From there the guy directing the show dictated what shots were shown on the screen. What was shown on the screen was sent to a video tape recorder. It's all that was recorded, thus all that we can expect to have.
