  1. Obviously one last one off show would be spectacular but I honestly don't imagine Plant would be swayed. (maybe time to give Coverdale a call? haha)

    An official Led Zeppelin documentary is WAY overdue as there has actually NEVER been one at all! If such a thing were possible, it would be nice to have a Beatles Anthology type thing as opposed to squashing it into two hours...

  2. There is no definitive version of The Song Remains The Same!!! The original was imperfect, the 2007 one was a complete botch. The only way to salvage TSRTS would be to:

    · Release 6CD box set with complete unedited shows, like Deep Purple did with Made In Japan NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

    · Release complete show worth of material in original running order with unedited takes from different nights. But don't call it The Song Remains The Same. UNLIKELY

    · Release the original 1976 version with other songs on separate companion disc. PLAUSIBLE

    Even though some things are revelations (some of the instrumental tracks were very interesting) this is mainly exactly that; floatsam and jetsam.
    However, there were some incredible revelations:

    Friends (Bombay Orchestra)
    St. Tristan's Sword (Rough Mix)
    Bring It On Home (Rough Mix)

    And all things considered, these tracks were well worth the price of admission alone! Yes, they could have fit on a 2 or 3 CD set but reissue campaigns taken into consideration, it wasn't the worst!

  4. Yep. Pictures At Eleven and Principle of Moments are my "favorite album". The reason I use the singular is because I see the two albums as two sides of the same coin. One side, Pictures At Eleven, is the more basic rock style and the other side, Principle of Moments, is more sophisticated. I LOVE the albums and I don't think Robert ever did anything like it ever again.

    Shaken n' Stirred is a bit weak apart from Too Loud, Little By Little and Sixes and Sevens which is amazing.

    Honeydrippers is really great. I listen to it a lot and the special guest appearences from Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page are brilliant. I even have the original Es Paranza tape from '85.

    Now and Zen, apart from The Way I Feel, Heaven Knows and Ship of Fools, is PATHETIC! I heard Jimmy Page frizbeed it out of the window when he first heard it or was that just a wild unfounded rumour?

    Manic Nirvana is OK.

    Fate of Nations has some magic moments (Maire Brennan, among others).

    I sort of lost track afterwards until Raising Sand which is really beautiful.

    But back to the first two. If you love those albums as much as I do, try to get the King Biscuit Flower Hour show which is really brilliant. It was even used for the bonus tracks of the 2007 reissues. Fat Lip specially is brilliant! It's easy enough to find on the net. It's out there. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. ;-)
