  1. I was skeptical when i first heard of this band coming together. I picked this record up today and i must say I was blown away! The whole band is great! But Glenn Hughes still sings like he did in the 70's and still sounds as good! Great Band IMHO! I hope they stick around for a while! John Bonham would be very proud!

  2. Have never seen any video from this concert in circulation. MTV filmed their concert at the same venue the previous night, and it originally aired on Feb 23, 1985 as The Firm Live at Hammersmith Odeon. It was only 32 mins 30 secs

    of interview and performance highlights. I have the complete (unreleased) MTV video footage. It runs about two hrs

    and begins in the dressing with Ahmet Ertegun in a discussion with Jimmy. Ahmet mentions Eric Clapton expressed a favorable opinion, to which Jimmy seems genuinely pleased. Jimmy also explains to the camermen how he moves

    about on stage and cautions them to stay clear. Roy Harper and David Gilmour attended both shows as guests of Jimmy's.

    Wow! Can you burn me a copy? I used to work with Tony Franklin ages ago in a band called Blue Murder with John Sykes and Carmine Appice. Really great guy and great bass player!

  3. How's it going "allbettsareoff?" That is so ccol to finally meet someone else that was at The Forum show on 23 June 1977 like I was! I don't what it is but LED ZEPPELIN were always in top form when they performed live in Los Angeles. I wished that the ZEPPELIN organization or Peter Grant would have approved a taping of the complete Forum 23 June 1977 show and not the Seattle Kingdome on 17 July 1977. Thats just my opinion, what do you think? ROCK ON!

    I agree 100%! I feel greatful that I was there and it being my first concert made it even more special. Then to get the chance to attend the reunion in London was just incredible. I wish they had recorded more of there shows period.

  4. How's it going "TyrackT71?" I saw LED ZEPPELIN twice in their heyday which is on 23 June 1977 at The Forum in Los Angeles, California and one month later on 23 July 1977 at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California. After listening to hundreds and hundreds of LED ZEPPELIN bootlegs along with seeing ZEPPELIN twice, my favorite concert would still have to be The Forum show on 23 June 1977. ZEPPELIN was on fire that night! This show should rank as one of the band's all-time greatest shows ever performed. ROCK ON!

    I was at the June 23rd 1977 show in LA it was my first concert. I must say I have never seen anyone better than they were on that night. The only thing as good was the reunion gig I attended in 2007 no one has even come close.

  5. I am in the middle of reading "Off The Rails" aboard the crazy train with The Blizzard of Ozz by Rudy Sarzo. Excellent so far I can't put it down I recomend this book to anyone who likes rock and roll biographies.
