What is happening here? If I decide not to post the next time I want to post something the old quote is still showing.

You may think that I can't possibly agree.
That's ok, I am happy with the versions I have now. Unless the remastering process delivers a much greater listening experience I won't be buying.
BTW, I am Zeppelin addict. Their music is like heroin for me. In My Time Of listening, I have spent thousands on vinyl, silvers, and the official releases. I just no longer feel the need to buy everything.

Seems unnecessary.

Karmic retribution. You don't mess with Jimmy Page.

Last night I saw Billy Idol in concert, great show by the way, and during Steve Steven's guitar solo he played the opening of Stairway, at which point my friend said "oh, someone's getting sued now!"
If you like Steve Stevens Guitar work check out The Blacklight Syndrome with Tony Levin and Terry Bozzio
Although completely instrumental, it will blow you away. Unless you can't handle pieces over 4 minutes.

It's what he does.

way to go led zep again....you are truly the winners.
what a pathetic stupid lawsuit and a waste of attorney fees. I hope you all recover costs and expert fees and attorney fees and all costs spent to defend this most ridiculous law suit to think that the plaintiffs wasted a lot of MONEY that could have gone to help charities or poor children SHANE ON YOU SPIRIT. you guys suck anyway and to think that your stupid lawsuit only went back 3 year because of the statute of limitations....a huge winner for the greatest rock band in the world..still the best.. rock on
What does SHANE have to do with it? I don't think he was involved.

Did Led Zeppelin really win this case on a technicality, like Malofiy is claiming?
Yes, The technicality in question is the fact that Stairway and Taurus are not the same.

Nah, I think they are quite happy to move on at this point. Let's get Jimmy going on his solo album, that's what I'm really waiting for. Something tells me it's going to be special.
I heard he's going to cover Spirits first album in its' entirety.

I've discounted a Lot of Page's "borrowing" over the years; but now : to say in court that he "never heard Taurus"; didn't own any Spirit records; nor ever hear Spirit play live-is just a lie. I have a cassette interview of Page that was recorded off the radio in 1976 or 77, and he clearly states that Spirit and Kaleidoscope were 2 of the "best bands" he ever saw in the States. Now he denies all this. He lost me this time.
So playing three shows at a music festival 47 years ago means Page should absolutely remember Spirit?

For Randy to even suggest that he should be given credit where credit is due is laughable at best.

Anyone see that new commercial with the guy playing a piano? He clearly plays half the hook from Black Sabbath's Changes. There are so many instances where one song sounds like another that it's stupid to even bring it up.

He's almost black!!

Totally agree, I wonder if the titles got mixed up like Moby Dick (Backing Track) and La La (Intro/Outro Rough Mix) did.
Sorry Sath. I made a mistake, It's the second half of La La that has the second part which sounds like the solo from 4-27-69.

Presence at the moment is my fave Companion disc.
Achilles, even though it's in a close to finished state, illustrates the depth of Jimmy's genius in that anybody else would listen to that and go " Bloody hell that's a masterpiece". But Jimmy saw in amazing detail what was needed to help take it even further, to truly Olympian heights. He saw the need for additional vocal passages to develop the narrative of the song, and tightening of some overdubs and other minor edits. Lastly, I finally discovered the magic of the intro and outtro guitar sections, why they sounded so cosmic after all these years. Jimmy is deliberately playing the passages in random time patterns. Then overdubbing multiple guitars in odd time signatures to create an disorienting effect, true genius.
Foy Your Life is great too, because again, it shows Pages studio mastery and trickery. Listen closely to the middle "When you blow it babe" part, it's totally different sequencing wise. Jimmy cut and spliced his way to the version we all know and love.
10 Ribs I mean come on, what a treat. Aren't you glad we have this hidden gem? I listen to this all the time now.
Royal Orleans The more I listen the more I think it COULD be Plant. It is bizarre, and I think we are lucky Jimmy chose to include such an oddity. I love it, absolutely priceless and shows their great humor. Someone needs to pin down Robert and ask him definitely, because Jimmy lies about shit.
hots on for nowhere nothing special here, but it's a great frickin song.
Somehow, when I listen to 10 ribs I feel it should have been named St.Tristan's sword and sword should have been 10 ribs. Ribs is so "mature" and Sword has an OTHAFA feel about it. The first solo reminds me of the solo from june 23rd 77. second part harkens all the way back to Killing floor from 4-27-69.

I wonder why everyone is so interested in The Swan Song outtakes, in my 35 years listening to Zeppelin I feel it's the least interesting outtake. It can be heard almost verbatim on The Firm's Midnight Moonlight so it's not like there is no way for people to hear it. As far as the companion discs go, after the second round of releases I felt they were lacking but looking at the whole thing I have changed my mind. There is a phantom albums worth of stuff never heard even by many long time collectors. We get a few great alternates, some unknowns and a lot of looks into the recording process which reveal Jimmy's absolute genius. In the words of Adrian Belew,
"I Like It"!

The Ocean "Where's that confounded bridge?"
also like Boogie with Stu with Robert laughing
They have so many cool endings
Don't you mean "The Crunge"?

That's Funny!!

There are only 2 songs zeppelin ever did that jimmy sounds Sloppy (to me, at least).
The solo to Hot Dog from ITTOD, and 'We're gonna groove' from CODA.
I love the solo form WGG

Europe 73 is JP's career high point as a live guitarist. He was focused, creative, and with the band set the standard by which themselves and all rock bands are judged performance-wise. Once the band landed in America for the 73 tour and went Hollywood the performances were never the same. Entertaining the press, working on a movie, escalating drug use, and becoming celebrities all distracted the band and changed the on stage dynamic. LZ went on to other great things and have special moments but never again played like they did in Europe 1973.
You want to play like JP in Offenbach? It's a simple formula: skills + focus + inspiration + living in the moment. When he wasn't at the top of his game and considered sloppy, one or more of these cylinders wasn't firing due to some distraction. As it turns out, a distracted JP is still more interesting than many guitarists firing on all cylinders.
What he said!!

Yep, a little bit sloppy at times. I remember when the first album came out and one of my friends in High School made that comment. BUT, in Totality of what we try to communicate to an audience, the rest of what Jimmy was in his prime more than makes up for it. Part of it in the early days was that I think his mind was moving faster than his technical or physical limitations would allow. I saw Zep in concert in Detroit everytime they were even in Detroit over the years. He only got better. After the death of Bonzo, that killed him I think. I mean, they were like family, He was Uncle Jimmy to Jason. He knew how much Bonzo missed being home when he was touring. In a way I think he felt responsible. I know about the booze and drugs but that unit, "Zep" was his life. And when he lost that, the wheels fell off. So a lot or most of the performances after Bonzo's death are really something less. Jimmy, in Total, was better sloppy than most guitarists I've ever heard. The riffs, the freakin' dynamics my God, the composition, the arrangement, the production and recording techniques. NO ONE comes close. I wish I could more sloppy that way. As a parting comment, there's a interview with Jimmy when he was about 19 years old. He had been playing for only 4.5 years and was already a session guitarist for 1.5 years. How many guitarists can say that. In session work, NO mistakes are allowed, or you wouldn't be seen again.

Jimmy Page and Rat Scabies!! Jan 7 1984, Its only rehearsals and even though Jimmy's fingers get caught a couple times, for the most part, it's pretty cool stuff and there is a track that they try several times that sounds like a pretty cool idea to me.
BBC sessions deluxe out September 16!!!!
in Led Zeppelin Reissues

I highly doubt it, but it is nice to wish for.
