It's only bricks and mortar, the remains of what was just an ugly looking bungalow anyway. If  there was no Crowley or Page connection nobody would give a fuck. The name Boleskine House conjures up the idea of some kind of impressive mansion, which it most certainly was not.

OK, fair enough.

Maybe I am the only one upset that it burnt down. I guess I am weird.

The new Jimi Hendrix "Electric Church" concert is awesome.

Can anyone who saw the video and knows about construction and house damage give their opinion on the feasibility of restoration? Looks like a total loss to these layman's eyes.

 

I have some experience in house restoration as a investor, and from what I see in your video I would say the house will be raised (tore down). Very sad!

Page wasn't cheap, he only owned Boleskine for a short period of time and as a guy in his twenties all he would have cared about is where he was going to plug in his HiFi and his Guitar amp, I doubt a rewire would have been considered at the time.

  

Yep, I agree, and I think I had read that Page only spent a TOTAL of 6 weeks at Boleskine.

Thank you.

I had hoped to visit Boleskine someday, but I guess that dream is over.

[What's the Last Concert You Attended?]

Yeah I tried a number of times with the 'search' function on
the forum with the topic of this thead. 

 Yeah, me too, I was afraid to start a new thread, oh well, glad I did. Good information.

[Is Page an only child?]

Does Jimmy Page have any brothers or sisters? Was his parents wealthy? Did his folks put him through college?

Just some things I never knew.

[Powerball]

Jimmy's net worth is 77 million, we could be richer than the Led Wallet himself!

I'll post any decent pix of the house if and when I get them.

 

Thank you.

Writing as someone who lives up the road from Boleskine House, word on the street - and bear in mind this is a rural area so news travels fast without getting too distorted.

Can you post recent pictures if you live just up the road? Can you please post updates, such as if they bulldoze the remainder of the house? Please keep us informed since you have an insider view, I would be interested to know. Thanks.

The church across the road from the house burnt down, supposedly with the congregation of people in it.

[Boleskine]

Maybe they'll unearth the tunnel to the graveyard now?

As a musician I was a little shocked to hear the similarities in Page's Outrider song "Wasting My Time" and Billy Squire's "Everybody Wants You".

Billy Squire 'Everybody Wants You' - 1982

Jimmy Page 'Wasting My Time' - 1988

The similarities are too close to be a coincidence IMHO.

[No Danelectro during Kashmir]

Yes, there is such a thing as a whammy pedal... it alters the pitch

Is this what Page was using during a lot of his leads at O2?

It sounded like he was fingering up two octives but I noticed he was playing on the same fret?

[Jason's double bass pedal]

bonzo didnt use a double pedal because they were not invented back then ,he did have two bass drums for two gigs,then john paul jones hid one of them because he said it made bonzos playing unconprehensible !! as only jpj could say.

Hopefully someone out there has heard the same tthing I heard. I am a guitarist not a drummer, but I have never heard anything like this before. It is on the LZ DVD, disc #2, select interviews and promos, then select promos. The'fillersong' here is The Song Remains the Same. Bonzo is incredible on this! I have never heard him play this fast before! No overdubbing has been done on this version. 

Two questions for you drummers, could this be double bass drums? The footage is to grainy to tell? 

Second question, when and where was this concert and is there a soundboard recording of it?

Thanks, I have always been intrigued by just this very small snippit of perfection, it's a shame it wasn't of better quality so as to be used in the DVD in its entirety.?

Sorry, I can't get the 'quote' option to work again, but this is a question for those of you who have visited Boleskine.

I was planning a visit to the area, so I was using Google Earth and taking a good look around.

When I scrolled up the mountain behind Boleskine, just to the South, I see a giant hole on the top of the mountain.

Has anyone hiked the area I am talking about? Anyone have pictures? What the heck is this??

Here are the coordinates. 57 Degrees 15' 37.47" N , 4 degrees 28' 37.93" W.

Thanks to all in advance...

I was wondering if anyone was curious as to why Jimmy Page visited Headley Grange in 1970? Was Headley used by other bands to record music? What would be his thought process to visit an obscure place like this and have it 'click' that it would be a good place to record an album?
