I certainly hope they don't do things in Chelsea like they do in the States. Over here (USA) you grease a few blokes on the city council and you can build yourself a Neverland Ranch any damn place you want.
If I were Jimmy, I would hedge my bet so to speak. Inform the city council he intends to donate a large sum of money for some public building restoration project or something, have the press pick it up and get the news out there. That way greased palms or not, the Chelsea city council would have some "splainin to do" as to a: why they approved such an obtrusive and obnoxious project; and b: why would the city council go against a long term resident deeply involved and invested in the community for the sake of some newcomer trying to desecrate the architecture and historical value of the area.

I am definitely attending this concert. I may not get my tickets the day they go on sale but I am going to go to this gig with my brother and at least 5 other friends. I can't wait. Rush is My second favorite band. I have seen them at least 5 times before and I know that they always put on a great show. With no new music to promote, I believe that this will be almost like a Rush Greatest Hits concert. At least 3 hours and probably 25-30 Classic RUSH songs. To me it does not matter what the setlist is, I will know all of the songs They play.
Maybe something similar to this (but add 10 years):
Damn right, I will be going to the Montreal gig in June and the Phoenix gig in July...my dream would be if they were to perform The Necromancer. I be loving that song.

Regarding STH and Bach's Bourree, the similarities are thus: Page took the root note from each arpeggio progression, changed they key, and formed the first arpeggio progression to STH and went from there. This is where he gets the "poor mans Bourree" from. So, essentially it is a very simplistic for of Bourree but in a different key. Believe me, Bourree is hard as fuck to play on a six string as the music was made for a 13 course baroque lute with 24 strings. So, if you YouTube Bourree on guitar, you will most likely see some Chinese dude playing all four movements of the piece as his right hand is moving all over the neck with his fingers in almost impossible positions, added to that the plucking with the right. It is a beastly piece to play much less master on guitar. However if you can play Bourree, all four movements, Steve Vai will magically appear and wash your balls out of respect.
BTW, I will shoot myself in the dick before I buy any Zep song with Randy California's name on the credits. Fuck Taurus.

I dig T-Rex and I like this song, however it sounds a little too similar to Bang a Gong to me as far as the arrangement goes.

I wonder if Jimmy will be standing in his yard one morning, see Williams and yell, "get off my lawn you punk!!!"

^ Guess he was not much of a "Winner" after all

GOD DAMN! That woman could SING!!!! I love Etta James, great singer. Unfortunately Dark Lord is correct, she could be quite tempestuous and a regular diva.

^ Wow Planted, I did not know you tap dance. So much talent, beauty, wit, and compassion in one person. How lucky we are to know you.

The studio version is in a class of its own. I've never tried to equate concert material to studio versions but to answer your question, I think the solo lacks length and improvisation. It is restrained and I suspect or wonder that it may not have been Pages' choice to do so. I've never thought of JP as a "noodler". However, if others somehow appreciate Stairway more outside of Page's role - I can respect that and I would be curious to know why.
I was at the ARMS show. I've seen RAH and the you tube stuff. I like what he produced there - sure he misses some picks, frets and strings but I'm able to see through that and find the intent and emotion which is what makes him so brilliant. If I wanted technical perfection I would listen to the studio album over and over again or see John Williams play Bach.
I agree, good post. What I was going for with my silly, noodling comment is his Stairway solo from Berlin 1980...just joking. I figure you are correct though, Page may have wanter to do a longer solo but there may have been time constraints or maybe he was afraid of flubbing it, who knows. I do believe had they toured or at least did a run of select cities the set would be very different. Once Page got in his groove, look out, he would have been improvising and such. I still think back to the 98' tour and I feel he did some of his best playing on that tour. In fact I would hazard to say this was Page's peak in live performing, his controlled emotion, expectation, accuracy, and fluidity seemed in perfect synch.
What say you....
Whoops, to stay on thread I have to agree with Bluecongo, Badgeholders is now my at moment favorite.

Copenhagen, second show July 24th, 1979

I wouldn't want this thread to get off track but the worst stairway solo might be celebration day's
Um, I guess you have never seen the YouTube video of the RAH ARMS show from 83'.
The STH solo he did in Celebration Day was flawless and pretty close to the original studio version so I consider this particular solo good. I prefer the longer, improv solos of course but I would rather a shorter, more fluid solo than a 10 min noodling exercise leaving everyone shaking their heads.

Instant classic from da hood!!!

No apologies necessary Kiwi...your posts didn't annoy me. Not all of the songs people posted are awful.
Awful is subjective, some feel Bing Crosby & Glenn Miller are awful. Personally I love the oldies, but I also love the tongue in cheek approach of King Diamond and others. It's not that I love those crazy tunes, I just love the humor in them and in all honesty King Diamond is possibly one of the smartest, most articulate, and funniest guys around.
