Another Doors one for me, “Runnin’ Blue” starts off with some vocals, has a great verse, and then goes full redneck for the chorus, and they fkn let Robby sing…

I’m so late to the party, but if are still providing links to any of your projects, I would be exceptionally grateful.

Also from their facebook page....
TLDR: tour, remastered album, 2nd disk of EOT outtakes, live, radio sessions (presumably the Bruce Dickinson ones), 180g vinyl x2 and double cd, and some kind of pledge music campaign...
JUST ANNOUNCED: THE TEA PARTY CELEBRATE 20th ANNIVERSARY OF EDGES OF TWILIGHT WITH CANADIAN TOUR AND SPECIAL REMASTERED VERSION
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of The Edges of Twilight, The Tea Party have announced the release of a deluxe remastered CD, remastered LP, and a North American tour. It has been 20 years since the group released the iconic album featuring such singles as Sister Awake and The Bazaar. The band will kick off the tour in Windsor, ON, on September 4th for two HOMETOWN SHOWS at the Olde Walkerville Theatre. The tour will stop all across Canada, and fans can look forward to seeing the band perform the album in its entirety. Tickets go on sale this Friday, June 26th and the remastered album will be released on September 4th with Universal Music Canada, the countrys leading music company.
VIP packages for the tour will be available through MapleMusic beginning this Friday at 10am EST at http://www.ticketbreak.com/theteaparty. The band will also launch a PledgeMusic campaign on Friday, which will include a chance to purchase memorabilia, ticket bundles and so much more. All of the details for pre-order bundles will be found at www.pledgemusic.com/projects/tea-party-eot20 on Friday at 10 AM EST. General ticket sales begin on Friday, details will be made available on the bands website at www.teaparty.com.
The Edges of Twilight, originally released on March 28, 1995, hit double platinum and was nominated for two Junos. The title of the album was taken from a chapter of the book Fire in the Head, by American author Tom Cowan, which also inspired the name of the first track on the album. Universal Music Canada will release both a deluxe edition CD of the album and a 2LP 180 Gram Heavyweight Vinyl edition of the original release. The 2-CD Deluxe, Digital Deluxe, Mfit & Vinyl Editions will include newly remastered audio. The deluxe CD and digital deluxe will also include a second bonus disc that will consist of alternate, live, radio sessions and bonus audio and the booklet will feature the story of the album with new band interviews and previously unseen photos. The Vinyl edition will include the newly remastered audio across 2 x 180 gram heavyweight vinyl that will be housed in a gatefold sleeve.

Ah ok, I was actually thinking more low key affair on his website. Limited run of 1000 or so, box set with companion disk. That sort of thing.I'm talking about a mainstream commercial release to the masses.
-
No chance for a remastered or expanded C/P album because there's no demand.
To be honest I would have thought there'd be less demand for a soundtracks box set, considering he'd just reissued both via his website
-
Does anyone thing that a remastered Coverdale page box set, similar to the JP Soundtracks, is in the horizon in the fairly near future? I'd buy that.

Going through a live trampled underfoot Renaissance.
I keep coming back to 25.5.75, broken string and all. Sounds so powerful.
-
Ploughing through the 75 sbds at the mo. Dazed from Vancouver on 20/3 is currently winding up. There's some additional chunks in this performance with some decent enough Page rambling.
I'm hearing that Trampled underfoot was consistently awesome on this tour, with Robert seemingly giving the vocals some extra power.
-
I've been listening to that quite a bit lately. I just finished listening to Earls Court 25/5 75 show. Page's playing is so much more coherent in London, and it's easy to hear the Impact his damaged finger was having on the US datesFour blocks in the snow
Still 4 blocks is sensational, the sound quality is possibly the best and I love that NQ still doesn't have the piano in the mid section. The keyboard sound always gave it a more ominous sound over the piano.
-
After the tragic death of John Bonham, I feel Zeppelin's life force was pretty much spent. Musically they were sinking below the bar they set, raised and then raised some more right up till late 1975, both in musicianship and creativity.
So, yes, after the most unfortunate of events in sept 25th 1980 they were right to put Zeppelin to rest.
After a few disastrous reunion efforts the stars aligned for one splendid farewell in 2007, but now it's done.

I keep coming back to this album and keep walking away with my views unchanged.
most high is the standout track for me. The eastern element added some real spice and energy. Terrific.
Upon a golden horse is good. The strings really work (compared to the b side version I had previously heard). Blue train is very sad and poignant but good. There are moments of the title track that are good, and moments that are dull. Burning up could have/should have been better.
The rest is boring and forgettable. I think it was significantly hampered by the production which gives everything a 'demo' quality.
I keep trying and I would love to love it, but 16 years on my original opinions stands.
-
Hmm. Not a fan of the video. I think it's a little cheesy.

Send me a pm and I'll email you some high res scans from my copies

Listening and watching to knebworth.
Can't quite understand jimmys rationale to wear business casual attire.

I've never listened to these guys before but holy shit they are spectacular. I've seriously been missing out!!!
How exciting! Start at the beginning and take your time. There's so much good stuff.
For me splendor solis is the best led zeppelin album that led zeppelin didn't make...if that makes any sense whatsoever.
-
Someday when I decide to upgrade my pc than I can enjoy those HD downloads, but for now no! I have all the cards for these and they're in safe keeping with the SDBS.
Do they have an expiry date? I haven't checked.
-
They filmed last nights melbourne concert for a dvd release...hopefully a LZ DVD style release with some old archive concerts too!
-
There may in fact be multiple nights in London. I'm guessing that Jimmy Page & Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull are going to be sure bets at the gig so I hope you guys in England make a point of not missing the shows, it will be the first time they play in the UK in almost 20 years
It's only about 14 actually, but that's 14 years too long.
I'd agree that jimmy and Ian would definitely be in attendance. Probably roy too, unless he's forced to keep a low profile.
-
I got the vinyl too...also managed to get one of 100 limited green vinyl pressings too!
-
The last time was in June 2000 and they only played one venue in London (The Garage at highbury and islington, and it was bloody excellent). I'd imagine this would be something similar too. A London date as part of a European tour. They always had more success on the mainland, particularly Germany and the Netherlands.I`m looking forward to the tea party tour of the UK, ooh yes ooh yes please where`s the tickets...
They were dropped by their UK record label in 1995 so I don't think there has been enough historical exposure or a big enough fan base to support more than one or two dates.
The one in 2000 sold out really quickly though so grab your tickets early.
-
There was something abou this tune which I could not figure out, but Jeff gave out a bit on an interview and it makes sense, David Bowie!! Go back and listen to it, you will hear it, have no idea how I missed it
As someone who hasn't explored much Bowie can you give me a hint where to look please.

Interesting little thing I saw today; http://dating.famousfix.com/tpx_35328866/aveyanda-skye/dating
That's the same Jeff Martin, right?
It is, and according to the site she was with jimmy last year.
I'm pretty sure jeff was still married at the time, and isn't jimmy?
-
I notice a number of times you have mentioned things of the past related to dark or angry lyrics, but Jeff Martin has evolved, he is not angry all of the time. As far as the lryics to Water's On Fire, I view it as a personal letter to his demons and things he has had to deal with related to his childhood which makes it very human to me, and the guitar on the track is excellent.
The Ocean At The End is a magnificent album from start to finish. The last time the band entered a studio to create new music was 10 years ago. The Tea Party are a band of the now, they have expanded their musical vision by embracing backing vocals or double tracked echo vocals throughout the album while at the same time incorporating the sounds of South America. Jeff Martin has returned to fine form with some tasteful guitar solo's and guitar bits that would make Jimmy Page jealous. Chatwood has taken the keyboard and electronic bits from Transmission but has discovered a much warmer natural sound that feels very earthy and human. Jeff Burrows proves once again why he is the greatest living drummer and is very much in the same league as Jason and John Bonham delivering unique drum patterns and interesting mic techniques to get the best possible drum sound. Jeff Martin sounds healthy, and he sounds like he knows life is worth living with wonderful vocal phrasing and a wonderful solid range. No song sounds the same on the album each representing a different musical journey. The band sounds like it is mixing Pink Floyd with Led Zeppelin while adding in bits of the Middle East and South America with some excellent harmonies and backing vocals. It has been the best selling album in Canada all week, go out and buy a copy you will not be disappointed. I can honestly say in my humble opinion it is the single most complete sounding album by The Tea Party which firmly sits in the now. They are not looking back, they are moving forward. And The Ocean At The End is a spectacular track. The album sounds good late at night or with headphones on
I understand that JM is in a different place to when he was in the fuzzy days of the mid to late 90s, its categorically not a bad thing and the point I was trying to make was that to me the lyrics come across as a bit pedestrian, or lazy by the standards that he has previously set, irrespective of subject matter. Whether this is as a result of his head space, or ability I don't know, I was just giving my observations. The guitar work of Waters on Fire are absolutely fine, but it doesn't detract from the fact that (to me) it sounds like a cheesy rock ballad, which are a dime a dozen. Maybe its the arrangement, I don't know. Generic ballads are too ubiquitous to be that interesting to me and my overarching point was that I feel its just a dull song in comparison to what I know they can do. Its in teh same category as something like The Watcher or Oceans. Not to downplay the subject matter, just the song itself as an overall package. They've done "love" songs in the past and the arrangements have been superb: In this time, dreams of reason, white water siren spring to mind.
And I wasn't criticising double tracked vocals either, I was just noting down my observations of the track. They've done it before to great effect in the likes of The Master and Margarita, and it works very well in other places on this album, just not for me on The Maker. The expansion of their global repertoire to South America was indeed a welcome surprise, there's not many places they haven't gone now (in either TTP or solo).
I completely agree that they are looking forward, and I think I called it 'new tea party' in a number of places. This is an excellent album and I didn't intend for my comments to come across as too critical, purely observational. There's so much to hear in it, and new sounds leap out with every new listen. I'd certainly encourage any fan of Zeppelin to check it out. I'd give it an 8-8.5 out of 10, but for me to not acknowledge that it does has some minor flaws and areas of weakness, would not be being true to myself.
I'm pretty sure we are both in general agreement to the overall quality of it. Its very good. Having been a fan since about 1993 I'm just thrilled that they are back and writing great music.
