  1. flummoxed on this topic a little

    1. The bar is set immeasurably high for Page studio-wise and live tour

    2. Historical record is chock full which makes comparison accessible and quick ( music world would be quick to say: "Well... it's good- it's fantastic even. It's just not quite LZ '71 or it's like Landover except it would have been better with Plant- but only before his voice warmed out. Loved it, great to see Jimmy. Wonder when the next LZ release is...?? )

    This creates a mine field within the realm of opportunity. Seems to me he only has two ways forward: a.) do something for fun or that is noble such as the O2 b.) do something completely different that is beyond compare to YB, LZ and previous solo or P/P stuffs. As deep and wide as his core competencies are, the man may not be able to escape himself, his reputation and that amazing stage presence.

    For what Page needs, he makes it clear that he wants time in the white hot aura of being near the drums. The sizzle there is life giving and he is anxious to share the experience. Love me some Celebration Day and I have no doubts that we will see more in the future. No idea what shape, form, means or timing- I cannot imagine keeping that kind of drive quiet much longer.

  2. David she is getting "fluffy"

    not hating on your girl there just sayin'... Fluffy works too. Maybe she told her handlers to fly off and now she does what she wants including bacon sandwiches and bon bons. No doubt I regard her as one of the most photogenic in the past 5 years.

  3. definitely got the Arthurian connotations VirginiaParker and your character was the topic of more than one conversation on the drive home from the midnight showing of TSRTS during the early '80s.

    topics ranged from King's Daughter, to Plant's sister to things a bit more seedy

  4. haven't visited this in a while, my notes and memory seem to line up with the scribemasters Evster & huw

    In the Evening seems to have multiple tunings used as well in the background wash/reverse echo layers. Caroselambra, How Many More Times, Battle of Evermore and When the Levee Breaks do as well. I think in a few instances he removed strings from the guitar and kept just a primary and two sympathetic strings. What I years ago originally heard as a flanger now sounds more like he was using variable tape speed during pre/post production.

    Here's a list Evster posted ages back, with a couple of slight mods by me:

    WS/BMS - DADGAD

    Moby Dick - DADGBE

    Friends - CACGCE

    That's The Way - DGDGBD

    Bron-Y-Aur Stomp - DGDGBD

    Hat's Off - CGCGCE (CGCEGC ?)

    Going to California - DADGBD

    When the Levee Breaks - CFCFAC - (open G, down a tone)

    Rain Song (studio) - DGCGCD

    Rain Song (live) - EADADE

    Dancing Days (live) - DGDGBD

    In My Time Of Dying (studio)- EAEAC#E

    In My Time Of Dying (live) - DGDGBD

    Kashmir - DADGAD

    Bron-Yr-Aur - CACGCE

    Ten Years Gone - DADGBE

    Black Country Woman - DGDGBD

    Poor Tom - CACGCE

    Midnight Moonlight - DADGAD

    Jennings Farm Blues - EFCFAE ?

    Travelling Riverside Blues - DGDGBD

    Wonderful One (Double neck) -

    - 6 string - F#F#C#F#C#F# (GGDGDG)

    - 12 string - Standard tuning capo 1

    City Don't Cry - EAEAC#E

    Wah Wah - AEAEEA

    No Quarter (on the "Unledded" Album) - DADGAD

    As far as Celebration Day goes, although Page played the live versions in standard tuning on the studio take there are multiple guitar tracks, not all in the same tuning: IIRC the intro slide part that JPJ has said is him is an open tuning, and Page's guitars are in standard.
