If you're interested in a sort of "then and now" perspective on old venues Zeppelin played you'll probably enjoy this thread: A Walk Down Memory Lane: The Houses of the Holy; The rise and fall of various concert venues

If you check the original thread you'll see there's two Zeppelin programs being broadcast on the Biography channel tonight. The second one (Led Zeppelin: Dazed and Confused), which airs at 10 pm ET, is evidently the new one.

From TheHuffingtonPost.com: Perhaps the future of media lies in a retreat to the past. A new study commissioned in the U.K. by the Radio Advertising Bureau concluded that listening to the radio makes people happier than watching TV or surfing the Internet. 1,000 Britons participated in the study, using their smartphones to respond to questions about their media consumption and emotional responses at various times of the day.

How about the fact that Plant has been performing Zep songs in concert since the Non Stop Go Tour in support of Now & Zen in 1988?

Obama was wrong, this is a great movie. I knew next to nothing about it prior to renting it. If I knew anything more of the plot beforehand I'm not so sure I would have enjoyed it so much. It starts out like a typical political story but then takes a huge detour that kept me captivated until the end.

As I said, the review doesn't sound too favorable so I doubt I'll be purchasing it anytime soon.

Someone's already started thread for this in the Master forum. As for the clip, that appears to be from the Biography they've aired previously. Then again, it's been several years since I saw it last.

Looks like she's texting before it's time.

I honestly don't remember music from the 80s being "dreary" in the least but I did love the Willie and the Poor Boys and Honeydrippers records back then. They were also responsible for me becoming more interested in rock n' roll from the 50s which led to me digging through my parents old records and finding some great sides from the likes of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chubby Checker and others.

I never learned this until recently but Merry is the sister of Sam Clayton, drummer/percussionist for Little Feat (and Jimmy Buffett, among others).

This may actually be something new as two Zeppelin programs are scheduled to air this evening. The first one airing at 9 pm is most likely the one we have all seen before while the one coming on at 10 pm does appear to be something new. “Led Zeppelin.” Wednesday, July 20 @ 9 pm ET Rated: TVPG Running Time: 60 Minutes Genre: Documentary Closed Captions: Yes Upcoming Showings: Wednesday, July 20 @ 9 pm ET A profile of the rock band that got its name when drummer Keith Moon predicted how the band would go over with audiences after hearing their demo tapes. Zeppelin's first album reached number 10 on the charts in 1969, and their popularity continued to grow with each subsequent album. But they were among the most hedonistic of all rock bands, and their indulgences led to a series of tragedies that ultimately broke up the band. Biography Channel Special “Led Zeppelin: Dazed and Confused” Wednesday, July 20 @ 10 pm ET Rated: TVPG Running Time: 60 Minutes Genre: Documentary Closed Captions: Yes Upcoming Showings: Wednesday, July 20 @ 10 pm ET Loaded with legendary music, rare footage and the bands full participation this program stands alone as the definitive doc on the iconic band Led Zeppelin. This one-hour special spans the bands career, from their humble beginnings to their status as rock gods. The unique chemistry between singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham led to tensions within the band, but were essential to their success. Take a journey where incredible heights and extreme lows helped forge one of the greatest rock bands ever. http://www.biography.com/listings/episode_details.do?episodeid=17185440&airingid=17185680

I seriously doubt Robert Plant would have any part of a project that banked solely on nostalgia. As I seem to recall, Jones and Page were also keen on recording new material before embarking on any sort of tour.

That's exactly what I was referring to, which was the original plan following the 02.

If Page, Plant, Jones and Jason Bonham were ever to actually launch a major tour I would hope it wouldn't be under the Zeppelin name and that there would be at least an album's worth of new material to draw from. Otherwise, it'd just be a nostalgia act.

I wonder if this gives Europe grounds for a lawsuit?

I also don't have a "problem" with Ady's post, nor was I arguing. I thought Ady was trying to use the "Embed" feature (see screenshot below) to post the clip here and I was attempting to explain that you can't use that feature of YouTube on this board, the only way to post videos here is by cutting and pasting the URL and then using the "Media" code to actually post it. In my experience, when you get the "Embedding Is Disabled By Request" error message on YouTube there is no Embed option at all.

Your video posted using the Media feature does indeed appear in your previous post and is playable here. What I was referring to in my first reply to your original post is the "Embed" feature on YouTube. Using that will not work here but posting just the URL of the clip in conjunction with the Media button does work when posting videos from YouTube on this board.
