  1. Howdy brspled! Wow one of the "old boarders" not literally old of course! Good to see you post. yep I remember scouring YouTube all night as vids popped up. Incredible show. Ten fast years...
  2. Thanks Steve. Did a quick search and it looks like we did discuss it a bit a good while back.
  3. Ok this isn't '75 but a "lost show" nonetheless. Ask here or is there another thread? Don't want the Forum police to bust me.
  4. whatever. He played the blue strat on someone to love which the poster above referenced even if they had the wrong tune and I did as well to which you replied "no he didn't". So yes he did. On someone to love.
  5. O-H.......I-O beat that team up north.........again.
  6. Steve I recall the VHS tape of the Arms show and I haven't seen it in years but in the opening they show the entire lineup rehearsing and I seem to recall it was in a house. They go around and ask most whom they've worked with before. There is mercifully only a 1-2 second clip of Jimmy saying "I've worked with Jeff" I believe is all is said. I say mercifully because Jimmy looks like death warmed over. Perhaps a recording of this rehearsal was leaked somehow. It definitely appeared to have been recorded in a house not a rehearsal soundstage.
  7. I recall a Gilmour concert on TV I recorded on VHS back in high school. That must be the one. It would've definitely been before 85-86 or so.
  8. Same here . I enjoyed the physical graffiti rehearsal and the one where they were writing stairway far more than the companion discs. I bought the first three then after that figured why bother.
  9. It's been ages since I heard it so I may be wrong but thinking it was Tampa 73 a fight breaks out and you hear some girl yelling for her boyfriend to either stop or because he was getting roughed up. Someone mentioned a gasp. I swear there's a point in one of the 69 Boston Tea Party shows you can hear it. I always wondered if that was the show the band was referring to that it went so well and the head banging on the stage started.
  10. I couldn't make it halfway thru because of the drummer not having a clue.
  11. Just read they will do a tribute at the Grammys. Henley, Walsh, Schmit, Leadon and Jackson Browne. Take It Easy.
  12. Sorry to hear about Glenn. I'm as big an Eagles fan as I am Zep and probably more.
  13. It's real simple Pat. Age will diminish ones ability plain and simple. Are there exceptions? Sure. But the exception doesn't make the rule. As far as Horowitz goes I'm familiar with the quote (as it appears in nearly every musicianship book I've read) and there is no doubt he lived an extremely disciplined life and took care of himself and his craft. As opposed to the lifestyle of Page and so many others. Now throw in the age factor and as I said, you simply, cannot compare a 40 year timespan as related to ones abilities. Did you watch Michael Jordan when he came out of retirement the second time? Enough said...
  14. With all due respect to the posts above keep in mind we are talking about a nearly 70 year old man at the O2. You cannot possibly compare this to a young barely 30 year old Page. Good grief. Of course he's not going to be as fluent. This is a silly conversation. I'm getting older and my hands simply don't function on a guitar neck like they did 20 years ago and I can't imagine what they'll be like in another 20. You are comparing a 40 year time gap with Page. I recall Clapton saying a couple years ago he listened to some shows of himself from '94 and we was amazed at how fluent he was and how much had changed in the last few years. I thought it was an honest assessment of what time does to us all. Imagine him listening to some Cream shows! I thought Page was brilliant at the O2. Absolutely brilliant.
  15. Hi Lakey! Yes the toothpaste can get a little messy....hope all is well with you. Hey '59. Good to see you as well.
  16. They are coming out of the woodwork... Yes, it's been a long time hasn't it A.C. Where is Hermit, Del, wannabdrummer, Manderly, and my best pal Lakey....and the list goes on an on...
  17. Wow. Old Scratch. Haven't thought about him in years! Looking back through the first few pages of this thread brought back memories of the good old days.....kinda sad so many are gone now.
  18. Great interview. Thanks for sharing. I always thought Franklin was an incredible bass player and really made the Firm sound.
  19. strider your experience was similar to mine. That was my first Zep boot the triple album. No longer have it but it had the odd song titles right? Like Cold Dog and White Cat? I wore those records out. Yes one one of the best shows ever if not the best. Awesome set list and musicianship.
