  1. Yes Jimmy did comment on Instagram about the Madison Square Garden shows. https://www.instagram.com/p/CvNhh6nvBj6/?img_index=1
  2. I'm quite surprised there haven't been any celebrations for this run of shows in New York. So much history with the robbery of $200,000 and cheap oil before it skyrocketed 2 months later. Even Richard Cole said it was the end of an era. Groupies everywhere hanging around. A different time for sure. So many gems from the 3 nights. In Jimmy's own words he regards "The Rain Song" from July 28th as a triumph. The best ever performances in my opinion are: 1. The Rain Song July 28th 2. Stairway to Heaven guitar solo July 27th 3, No Quarter guitar solo July 28th 4. Dazed and Confused July 27th 5. Whole lotta Love July 27th 6. The Song Remains the Same July 28th We should be thankful that Eddie Kramer was there to record the soundtrack.
  3. Jimmy and John Bonham composed the song and Robert wrote the lyrics. All received credit. JPJ got nothing even though he invented the keyboard parts and arranged parts of the song with an outside group of players. Not fair.
  4. Heartbreaker from July 29th is great but not as polished as the 27th. Jimmy seem to agree because TSRTS features only the 27th.
  5. Whole Lotta Love from the 27th is miles ahead of the other nights. Jimmy, by his own admission, didn't sleep the whole time in New York. After each show they bar hopped all night. He was burnt out. It showed after the first night. Too bad really.
  6. I can't believe anyone would choose July 28th or 29th over July 27th. Even with half the show missing July 27th is a masterpiece.
  7. After listening to this soundtrack since 1977 and to the newly added songs I will rank them from best to least favourite as follows: 1. Whole Lotta Love 2. Stairway to Heaven 3. The Rain Song 4. Dazed and Confused 5. Rock and Roll 6. No Quarter 7. Since i've been loving you 8. The Song Remains the Same 9. Black Dog 10. Celebration Day 11. Moby Dick 12. Heartbreaker 13. Over the hills and Far Away 14. The Ocean 15. Thank You.
  8. Did the audience of that time find it cool and enjoyable? The Star Wars movie had just come out on May 25th.
  9. How long does Molofiy have to enter an appeal to the Supreme Court? Malofiy said he's not giving up the legal battle because songwriters' rights are at risk. "The next step is we'll appeal to the whole bench of the ninth circuit court or go directly to the supreme court," the attorney told Fox News. "It's not over. We have to bring this forward for songwriters' rights because the decision as it stands really aggregates the rights of songwriters and we just can't let this decision stand."
  10. Too many fast numbers and too few calm moments. Nobody would have cared if Robert couldn't hit the high notes.
  11. Led Zeppelin's last great show.
  12. Was this the bands best performance of 1975?
  13. I too like the shortened version of Black Dog in TSRTS. Also I believe it's Jimmy's best ever hair presentation at the end of the song in the movie. Not to puffy or curly or short.
  14. Although HTWWW was the bands peak with regards to precision playing and singing......I never listen to that CD. I can listen to TSRTS over and over again and greatly enjoy every song. I admit that Jimmy played "Rock and Roll" and "Since I've Been Loving You" better and with great precision on HTWWW but the songs from New York are more enjoyable. Dazed and Confused; The Rain Song; and No Quarter are almost flawless from New York.
  15. Thank you Reids. I did some research on your picture and it's from Ann Moses former editor of Tiger Beat magazine. Here's what Ann had to say about that day on Facebook: "Sorry to be one day late. . .but a big Happy 71st Birthday to Jimmy Page. Isn't he looking so handsome! I first met Jimmy when he was in the Yardbirds and I was contributing articles to the New Musical Express pop newspaper in England. The Yardbirds were in Hollywood to perform at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on September 7, 1966. After our interview, Jimmy asked me if I could introduce them to the Monkees - the buzz was out on this new pop sensation. So, I made arrangements to take Jimmy out to their set. I adore the photo that was taken that day - My left arm through Jimmy's, Peter has me in a "headlock," and both Micky and Jimmy have their jackets covered in buttons. This was the coolest thing at the time. My button says "Fly High with the Yardbirds." We had such a blast out on the set, and if you look closely, behind us are Jimmy's record companies execs and I think they were as thrilled as Jimmy to be out on the Monkees set! What an amazing life and career he has had. Way to go Jimmy! Rock on!"
  16. A singer by definition is musician ie. Michael Jackson or Robert Plant. Davey Jones and Mickey Dolenz were both excellent singers and therefore musicians. Peter Tork wrote good songs and played many instruments.
  17. I liked the Monkees first and then Led Zeppelin. I think the Monkees should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They were all great musicians and actors. This is Mickey Dolenz with Robert. If the Beatles loved the Monkees and invited them over for a visit then that says a lot.
  18. I skip "The Ocean". Never liked it. Glad Jimmy didn't included it on the original TSRTS live album.
