I'm a solo musician, but about 10 years ago, I had a band that played mostly Steely Dan, and "Deep Tracks" from commercial artists...
We did 2 Zep
-Fool In The Rain
-All My Love
-
Last movie I saw was "Viridiana"
-
I had fun reading the books by Ray Manzarek and John Densmore, simultaneously, so that I could compare their perception. Pretty fun.

David Bowie - Lady Stardust

unseen archival footage !

My little cousin sent me an e-mail asking if I'd heard about them (since I introduced him to Zep, etc) and I wouldn't even respond. I shouldn't even be replying on here and giving more attention to something I wish would die out... I just keep expanding music from before I was born (60s, 70s) and it suits me well.

Judging by the bowler hat, I would guess John liked A Clockwork Orange...
One of my favorite movies!
-
If you know any favorites of Jimmy, Robert, John, and Jonesy, please list them. I might read one of my Zeppelin books, and if I see something, I'll reply.

John Fogerty - Zanz Kant Danz
(and CCR's "Effigy")

You should see the rows on the smooth jazz forum I go on.
They make this place look like mums.net.
Supertramp doesn't even have a forum.... Not a single book has been written about them, either.

I love Peter Green as a guitarist (one of my favorites) and a great singer... "The Green Manalishi" and "Man of the World" are amazing songs.
-
Saw him three times... "Dark Side of the Moon" tour was the greatest concert. "The Wall" was also great!

I agree Plant moans too much.. I think he got bored without having anything to do, even bashing the tambourine during Stairway (what would the song be without the tambourine!)...
Considering it was Jimmy Page, a great producer, it is surprising they didn't have better and more recordings.
About the music, I wouldn't have minded a wider spectrum. Could you imagine a Zep disco song? Even Pink Floyd (Another Brick, Pt 2) had some great "disco" stuff. Also having the greatest drummer, I would have loved some other kinds of beats and rhythms, especially Middle-Eastern stuff since Jimmy and Robert were big fans.. Would also have loved some flamenco/classical/Spanish stuff.

White Summer? Any particular version?
I loved the Middle-Eastern influenced guitar stuff the most!

Opinions are like rear ends: Everyone's got one, and here's mine:
- Inconsistency of Robert Plant's lyric writing. His lyrics range from cosmic highs to generic school boy scribblings. Too many of the songs are written about him losing his woman and/or love. Not expecting him to be Bob Dylan, but he never really wrote anything meaningfully deep. "We just want it to be about the music, maaaan."
- Speaking of Percy, some of his lyrics were indecipherable anyway, especially later on. Lockjaw from too much coca?
- The Companion Discs. I understand a lot of the stuff was already out there illegally, but most of the songs sound 98% like the original release. Would liked to have hear more songs in their embryonic stages (see The Beatles "Anthology" discs).
- No audio releases of complete concerts, say from 1975 or even 1980. Who cares if they weren't perfect sounding?
- Not putting "The Rover" on the Houses of the Holy album instead of "D'yer Mak'er.
Out of curiosity, which songs mark Plant's best and worst songs lyrically? (Anyone can answer)
-
Well, that's like, uh, your opinion, man
-
It annoys me that Jimmy was on a show with that bum, Jack White/Black, whatever his name is. Sounds like a male Yoko Ono, and can't play.
Jimmy (and Jeff Beck) seem to play with anyone because they can't sing.. Black Crowes, Puff Daddy, etc... I actually wish he'd release another instrumental album, I don't like his songs with vocals. "Emerald Eyes", "Prelude" "The Release" are a few great tracks.
-
It could be good, bad, but I remember when I'd listen to bootlegs, I'd hear some interesting stuff from the crowd.. A lot of junk, but some funny stuff, some weird stuff, some stuff that was spot on... I'm going to go listen!
-
I remember seeing "Behind The Music" of Grand Funk saying they blew Zep... Baloney.. I'm from Flint, and so are they, but they always played Detroit shows and had a lot of fans. So of course fans got upset, as they were billed as a local band, or "Detroit's very own" as Don and Mel are from Swartz Creek, so I did go to the same high school as Mark.
As for audiences, I prefer the quiet ones - I'm there to listen to Zeppelin, not audience chatter. I'm listening to a bootleg online right now, "No Quarter" and it's pretty disrespectful so many people are chatting. Go outside and chat.... It's horrible now with people and their cell phones, trying to sing along, off-key, wrong words, clapping with no rhythm. Clap in-between songs if you must.
