Obviously I don't know but I think that the Page's were definitely "middle" middle class. I also think that was a very good living in England at that time, after the destruction and devastation that England endured during the second World War.

No winners from last nights drawing. New estimated jackpot is $1.3 billion dollars. Depending on what state that you reside in, the estimated cash option would be $806,000,000.
You have to Love the United States of America. I know that I sure do. There is no other place on the Planet Earth where something like this is even possible. rball winner: Jackpot will rise to $1.3 billion for Wednesday's drawing, officials say Powerball winner: Jackpot will rise to $1.3 billion for Wednesday's drawing, officials say billion for Wednesday's drawing, officials say

Nobody won the estimated $500+ million dollar Powerball jackpot.
Powerball is played in 44 States, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. The next Powerball drawing will on Saturday, January 9, 2016 (Jimmy's Birthday). The new estimated jackpot at the moment is around $675 million dollars.
What would do if you won around $413.1 million dollars (the cash option value)? Actually here in Texas, that amount would be an approximate payout of $309,825,000 after the I.R.S. gets their cut.
I would offer Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham $25 million dollars to play a one-time 3+ hour private concert for me, my family, my friends and my friends here on this forum. Any requests???
Edited to add: The only stipulation I would have is that I get to pick the songs that Jimmy, Robert, Jonesy and Jason would play. The first song on that very long list would be "In the Light" (you will find the road...).

I just saw The Force Awakens for the second time, this time in 3D. I really liked the 3D effects.
I don't know if anyone noticed but in the cantina that is run by Maz Kanata, when the camera is going through the room showing all the different people and aliens, there is about a 2-3 second shot of an alien band playing and the guitar player is playing his guitar with a violin bow.

This is a short but interesting video clip. It's not the Giants Causeway in Ireland but an island off the coast of Ireland. I think that some people have commented about the ending scene location of the Force Awakens having something of a Led Zeppelin or a Houses of the Holy vibe. This is probably why:

Happy Birthday John Baldwin!!!
You are truly the Greatest Overall Musician of all-time. Your talents are beyond description and your contributions to the Music of Led Zeppelin will be forever immortalized every time a Led Zeppelin song is played and that will be Forever.
"Thank You"...

I have had the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active since 2/3/14. I am due for a free upgrade on the same date, just 2 years later. I have come to enjoy my phone and have everything that I have been used to since I first purchased it. I plan on upgrading to the S6 Active in one month from today.

Here is the extended version of the above clip:

Thanks Mark Zep for this youtube video.
Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham join this all star cast for a performance of the song Lucille. Paul McCartney and Pete Townshend to name a few. This benefit was called Concert for the People of Kampuchea performed at Hammersmith Odeon, London on December 29th, 1979. timeline info
Where's Bonzo?
Edited to add: There's Bonzo. At the 3:53 mark. Bonzo should have been the main drummer on the stage not whoever that was behind the main floor kit.

Dear Mister Cranston,
I've just finished a marathon of watching 'BREAKING BAD' – from episode one of the First Season – to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing. I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant! Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen – ever.
I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bullshit in this business, and I've sort of lost belief in anything really. But this work of yours is spectacular – absolutely stunning. What is extraordinary, is the sheer power of everyone in the entire production. What was it? Five or six years in the making? How the producers (yourself being one of them), the writers, directors, cinematographers... every department – casting etc... managed to keep the discipline and control from beginning to the end is awesome.
From what started as a black comedy, descended into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell. It was like a great Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek Tragedy.
If you ever get a chance to – would you pass on my admiration to everyone – Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Aaron Paul, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Steven Michael Quezada – everyone – everyone gave master classes of performance... The list is endless.
Thank you. That kind of work/artistry is rare, and when, once in a while, it occurs, as in this epic work, it restores confidence. You and all the cast are the best actors I've ever seen. That may sound like a good lung full of smoke blowing. But it is not. It's almost midnight out here in Malibu, and I felt compelled to write this email.
Congratulations and my deepest respect. You are truly a great, great actor.
Best regards,
Tony HopkinsI guess someone with the stature of a Mr. Anthony Hopkins can take the time to praise Mr. Bryan Cranston and everyone else he named, maybe I am on to something when I praise Breaking Bad as one of the Best American television shows of all-time. And this coming from an Academy Award winning actor who was born in the United Kingdom and not the United States of America.

Also, I have the following Jimmy Page and Robert Plant dvds: in chronological order:
1. Milwaukee, Wisconsin: May 1, 1995 (?)
2. Glastonbury Festival: June 25, 1995
3. Albuquerque, New Mexico: September 29, 1995
4. Irvine (Meadows), California: October 3, 1995
5. Buenos Aires, Argentina: January 25, 1996
6. Tokyo, Japan: February 13, 1996 (the same dvd as the above clip for "Tea for One").
7. Osaka, Japan: February 19, 1996
8. London: No date given. The cover of the dvd says, "Jools Holland Later", BBC TV Studios, White City, London, England...
I have not watched these in a long while but I do seem to recall that all 8 of these dvds are of very good to excellent to professional video quality. I suppose I just might have to watch these dvds again in the near future. I also seem to recall that I paid no more then $20 for each of these dvds. Well worth the money or money well spent.

Yes, I second this request. Is there a "best" or even top five boots from both the 95' & 98' tours? Also, for added bonus, is there a complete show on video / DVD? I would love to have that Japan gig where Page plays Tea for One.
This is not the complete show but this is Page and Plant playing "Tea for One" in Tokyo on February 13, 1996:

Is he still alive? If so what is he up to? Did he do a lot of speaking about Bonzo and their relationship after Bonzo's death?
All I know about Mick Hinton, in the dozens and dozens of books that I have read about Led Zeppelin, the overall consensus seems to be that Mick Hinton was a very dedicated and very loyal employee of John Bonham and an important part in the overall structure of the whole Led Zeppelin organization.

The "blast off" effect was the result of Jimmy Page employing a Gizmotron.
The Gizmo: The device, a small box which was attached to the bridge of the guitar, consisted of six small motor-driven wheels with serrated edges to match the size of each string. The continuous bowing action was activated by pressing one or all of keys located on the top of the unit. Pressing a key would allow the wheel to descend against a motor-driven shaft and bow the corresponding string, while the other hand remained free to fret single notes or full chords. An extremely powerful sound could be created that changed dynamically depending on how hard or soft the wheels were pressed against the strings. The sound was also affected by the type of guitar strings (round-wound or flat-wound).

This is what I meant to post as the final scene of one of the greatest American television shows of all-time:

I think what Strider was pointing out is a historical perspective and I believe he is correct. Explain how Breaking Bad is influential in ANY way. Sure, it was a great show but it was neither groundbreaking nor influential and will likely be forgotten in time. Awards mean nothing, Zeppelin never won a grammy yet they are one of the most influential bands of all time. The Doobie Bros won grammy's but ask any teen to name a Doobie's song and you get "Huh, who the fuck are the Doobies?"
So, Breaking Bad would be akin to the Doobie Bros Michael McDonald era and shows like SCTV and All in the Family would be akin to Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin won a Grammy Award in 1969 for the cover/artwork for Led Zeppelin II.
I know that you hail from Canada, but awards (Grammys, Emmys, Oscars, etc...) mean a lot in the United States of America. Here, in the U.S.A., these kind of awards and winning such awards translate into professional accolades and achievements that goes to prove that winners of such accolades and awards won them because they/them deserve it.
How many awards and accolades did SCTV ever win in Canada?
I am not going to continue to disagree with you but to compare "Breaking Bad" to the "Doobie Brothers" is beyond stupid and has no bearing on what I was trying to prove or make a point of. I don't know you but your reasoning and comparison is one of the dumbest things I have ever read (and I have said some dumb and stupid things myself). The main difference between you and I is that I am not ashamed to admit such things.

This is not a mystery but more of a question:
According to Richard Cole and Richard Trubo, Richard Cole states that Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, Peter Grant and Richard Cole, in Frankfurt, Germany in 1970 after a gig went to a bar and proceeded to consume over a 4 hour period, 120 slivovitzes plus 160 beers-a total of 280 drinks among the six of them.
I really do not think that this and that amount of alcohol consumption by anyone in their mid to early twenties is humanly possible. In essence, alcohol is a poison and drinking that amount of alcohol at such a young age (even for the likes of Led Zeppelin) in 1970 could not be possible without "alcohol poisoning" or "death".
And this is way before Led Zeppelin and their entourage really began to become enamored with a Cocaine.
Fast forward to September 24, 1980 and the "accidental suicide" of John Bonham. However, according to the official British coroners report, Bonzo died from swelling of the lungs due to suffocating on his own... you know what.
It was also stated that John Bonham died due to the inhalation of over 40 measures of Vodka in over a 12 hour period.
Most Desired Concert To Hear, Which NO Recording Exists?
in Led Zeppelin Live
Posted
Denver, Colorado. December 26, 1968. The American debut of Led Zeppelin. It would be a short recording (45-60 minutes) as Led Zeppelin was the opening act for Vanilla Fudge (with Spirit).
