  1. Yep Rorer.I was glad to see the carnage last night didn't see the light of a new day.
  2. Find that damn beach she's on,and then shark your way up.What a beauty she is.
  3. Birmingham 1977,before the opening licks of Nobody's Fault But Mine. "Not too much talkin' tonight...a little bit more playing than usual."
  4. Reminds me of this line from long ago. What did Pattie Boyd give to George Harrison? The Clapton.
  5. This was a probable pipe dream fantasy I experienced a few minutes ago as a thunderstorm passed overhead.Steve, my guess is that your archival memorabilia on Led Zeppelin is close to the top rung, if not the very top.I was visualizing your collection(or a portion of it) on display at Jimmy's boathouse.A step further,have other collectors' memorabilia on display on a revolving basis,like museums do.I have no idea if the boathouse would be conducive for a situation like this,or if local codes would permit such a situation to exist.I could picture ,JP,RP,JPJ,and the estate of JHB,donating pieces permanantly,or on loan for this.To have a connection to events and to actually see documents and artifacts at what most of us consider a quite historical site....I may be off the edge on this...
  6. Yes,that Greg.He was ahead of the curve.Had a blond sister or two who were possible seduction material,yet he gravitated for his stepmother,Carol,aka Florence Henderson on account that Mr.Brady dug the male species and he knew it was his job to keep "the bunch" intact. Blame Robert's shoes for this digression,which have little relevance to the scope of insight which we all have acquired(most of us)from the SAJ Mystery Thread.
  7. I believe Greg Brady sported a pair similar to Roberts.Greg was was quite the babe magnet as well.Don't recall any Zep posters on his bedroom wall though.

    Whisky Tread

    I stick with beer these days, but in my liquor daze... I prefered an Evan Williams or some lesser known name.The Canadian blends are fine as well,somewhat milder. And I've gotta say,try to disregard the Coke or 7-Up etc. Grab an 8-12 oz.tumbler or facsimile.Fill with cubed ice.Pour two (make it one to two fingers) fingers of adult beverage in glass.Allow ice to meld with liquor for a couple of minutes,or add a splash of water to dilute the concentration. Appreciation of the taste is not bastardized by introducing sweet additives,etc. If an appreciation of the taste is acheived,you may find some of the high end names pale compared to the lesser knowns. Tread slowly,sip slowly,don't drive,fire up Led ZeppelinII.I repeat,sip slowly and don't drive.
  9. This post jogged my memory when Plant performed "Rockin' At Midnight, on SNL back in the 80's. Brian Setzer on guitar. Do you have any info in your vaults Steve, about how the two got along,etc. The stud cat and the stray cat. I could easily picture a fine album or two from these two collaborating.Just curious.To me it seems it could have been a tight fit. Apologies again if this horse has been shin kicked and traversed the track adnauseam.
  10. Is your nickname Kramer? Just kidding, that was good for my gut and I needed it.
  11. I don't mean to be rude and crude...well maybe,sort of. If an old college buddy of mine saw these pics... "Pull up my face and have a seat!"
  12. Any of you connoisseurs of beautiful women like Maria Bartiromo? Something about her looks makes my Dow Jones rise.
  13. I understand completely.It was a bit rude of me. Continued success for you on this particular stock.Hope it becomes a ten-bagger for you.
  14. Care to put a name or the symbols up for the superstar stock? Of course,for educational purposes only!(I like candlestick charts) Congrats on your positive position.Hope it keeps rolling for you.
  15. At the beginning of the acoustic set in Birmingham'77,JPJ triple neck guitar briefly malfunctioned.Quipped Plant:"That's John Paul Jones secret weapon.Not many people get to see it,and they say it only comes out at night.(slight pause)But few can tell the tale!"Then he bursts out laughing.Inside joke I'm sure,I have an idea. Same concert after a hellacious ovation,(forgot which song) says Plant:"It's our pleasure Birmingham and it shall be our pleasure later as well.Did you catch that Peter?" Plant's formulation of words to express a thought are so eloquent.Hell,I'd probably purchase a ticket just to see him interviewed.
  16. How many of us have worked in a studio,or even spent time playing a harmoniser? I dare say more than two people didn't know how this effect was achieved. You solved the mystery,unless someone refutes it. As SteveAJones wants in his thread,"collaboration."
  17. It's been interesting to read the replies since I posed this question to SteveAJones. The urban legend I refered to in my initial post,was that Plant had undergone some type of "hormonal treatment"to achieve the higher pitch in his voice for this song. That sounds as farfetched today as it did when I first heard about it in the mid 70's. Still,I can think of no other Led Zeppelin song that exhibits this quality. Why is that?
  18. I don't have too much.A few mags from the late 70's early 80's,and a limited edition 211/2500 framed gold record of Whole Lotta Love.
  19. Probably urban legend confined to the deep south... Did Robert Plant receive some type of treatment to achieve the vocal quality on The Song Remains The Same off HOTH? I was a young teenager when this album was released and vaguely remember some talk about this.
  20. You are the encyclopedia. I respect the info you share,gained through the archives,and what you are able to share, through your personal anecdotes.
  21. Don't mean to be rude or meddling,but could a fraction of this be expounded upon? The door is cracked open a bit here. If it's not cool,we understand.
  22. In a radio interview I heard several years ago promoting what I believe was Manic Nirvana,Robert Plant brought up Stella Stevens. I don't recall if she inspired a song,or if he was just infatuated with her. Does this ring any bells?
  23. It may be embellished,but not boring.I thought it was a good read.
