  1. Likely the best post on this forum. When I saw the movie at 19 at the midnight showing somewhere in the seedy parts of Dallas, I fell asleep during Rain Song likely due to the fragrance in the theater and the Long Island Ice Teas. saw it every weekend I could thereafter until I had to do adulting things. It struck me then why such a long gap between the performance and the release. During setups for shows at Reunion Arena it was not uncommon for the soundtrack to be playing.
  2. Ditto. …cappuccino machine is at the ready
  3. Yes sir… it’s a little rough glad you are well for sure.
  4. Christie’s had a bass stack on auction in 2008. Not a prop per se yet related.
  5. Plant was asked by host Kyle Meredith whether he would record with Jimmy Page again to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Led Zeppelin. “No, I don’t know, I have no idea. I don’t, I don’t,” Translation: "That is a band matter and you are not in the band." Plant continued. “...it’s not even within my countenance to imagine it really.” Translation: "I cannot imagine me being able to meet the expectations required of being the front man of LZ- I can't hang." Meredith noted that many people hold Led Zeppelin close to their heart. “Yeah, me too,” Plant said. “Nobody more than me. But I don’t want to do it a disservice, either.” Better suited for AK anyway, she is such a sweet soul for taking RPs calls. He can pseudo croon all he wants and know he won't be doing her a disservice. People give JP crap for reworking LZ albums, well RP lives off their music still and has for decades and recrafted them due to his limitations. His set list has been pretty much LZ juke box covers for longer than I care to remember. Can't sing with LZ because of the expectations. Crooner.
  6. its an ad agency work up mounted on the wall of Earl's Court for the 1974 Boat Show. They are models. Sorry if that bursts the bubble...
  7. you said "campfire hootenany" was in LAX taking the red eye back to DFW Monday night and Down By the Seaside came on the overhead music. Checked this forum to catch up on posts and read yours. What was cool was about 30minutes earlier I stopped for gas on Man & 405...drove on down passed The Forum. 5th Element
  8. It is not his place to divulge info while he is mostly accurate in his facts, all the facts are not in the article. The only reason he is talking right now is for self promotion and a quest for relevance. The only pot kettle black thing going on is that he is a product of the system that is greed incarnate.

  10. Those who know... know.

  11. ...found the one I was looking for, didn't know you were fond of GTC while this one is not Berkeley maybe you will find it worth while
  12. . video is borrowed audio is recorded directly in front of guitar rig with stereo mics the attempt was made to capture the tone and movement of the sound. The drums, bass and piano are all fixed- the guitar moves around- at a few points the stage sound is muted and guitar signal is revealed from the back of the venue. 3D solo. This was not the case at each venue during the tour. Thought a few people might find it interesting.
  13. re-issuing items from a catalog also resets the copyright on the item(s), persons and entities that own publishing rights and copyrights receive huge benefits from re-releases aside from the momentary spike in sales. Public Domain is a bad place for a catalog to go.
  14. none taken. Glad to report I am off the glue. My comment comes from Plant- that he longed to get back to the pub scene. His comments are that the large venues are impersonal and that he missed where they started- in the bars. LZ did not originate in The Kingdome, initially small clubs & ballrooms and those did not sell out.
  15. expensive ones. Bonzo and Plant never escaped their pub roots as performers. Plant intimated this on numerous occasions. Exceptional talent is not the same as virtuosity. Page: His approach and presence are unmatched- his play sticky and cut. Forever a skiffle-bot hence the safety of riff based music. Virtuosi have no need of plagiarism, Page did. Plant: Squalling and bawling got in the way of some amazing compositions. Exceptional range early then not. Unmatched stage presence, star quality surpassed in rock only by Page. Passion & honesty cuts thru, does not equal virtuosity. JPJ: Unbelievable versatility. Kinda vanilla though. Page/Plant tours did not miss him a bit. A virtuoso is known by what is missing when they are not present. Page/Plant did not miss him. Was sad to see. And unexpected. "Replacement" musicians were easily able to fill in which demonstrates my point. It hurt when I realized this. Bonham: He is the most tasteful drummer I have ever watched, the most fun musician I have ever heard. A beautiful man and most memorable about him is his voice. A virtuoso no. On his dying day he was despondent over this very point. Much more was said, it was not an empty statement. wiki... The most notable virtuosi throughout history include Antonio Vivaldi, Niccolò Paganini, Franz Liszt, Frédéric Chopin, Sigismond Thalberg, Charles-Valentin Alkan, Anton Rubinstein, Hans von Bülow, Carl Tausig, Ferruccio Busoni, Emil von Sauer, Leopold Godowsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Josef Hofmann, Vladimir Horowitz, Jorge Bolet, Georges Cziffra, Raymond Lewenthal fgfdg
  16. I don't know that LZ changed music to me they are a bar band that played larger venues. In looking at their achievements and misses, the "change" is about how audiences engage in performance whether that be on media or in person. Specifically, the processes and dynamics of the band are open, genuine and fluid whereas most are closed, fabricated and static = short shelf life and no lasting demand. [most music since the 70s] It may be heresy yet I do not ascribe to the band members being virtuosos and I find most of the narratives that prevail about the band to be utterly absurd and to think people write books etc for personal aggrandizement is so wrong. Yet I digress... LZ changed music? ...not so much. Changed how people engage with music 100%. Demand unprecedented because of this.
