Wasn't there an experiment with with double summer time in Britain around then? 1968-71 I think, so what shows as 9.30 could have been 8.30 then.

Wasn't sure where to put this but Paul Martinez is listed on wiki as having passed away yesterday. As a quick Google does not reveal any other sources confirming this, I shall take with a pinch of salt, but has anyone heard anything through the grapevine? An American musician of the same name died last month and I wondered if someone updating wiki had got the wrong end of the stick.

The people banging on about arthritis and "he can't play anymore" are remarkably quiet tonight! What a blinder of a performance

Most positive he's been about Zeppelin for ages. A nod to JPJ. And the Bonzo's hat story made me pee myself laughing

I love the way the 246 Dino is parked outside 484 Kings Rd, former home of Swan Song records

Peter Grant was quoted as saying people left messages on his answer phone as soon as the announcement was made. And that "certain people really went down in my estimation". Afaik, there were never any try outs, and I've never heard Plant Page or JPJ mention otherwise.

Is this the thing that's appeared on You Tube as "Bonzo's Bhangra"?

Fascinating thread! I often wonder watching TSRTS "where are they now" to all the various characters appearing. The gatecrasher who gets chased into the room by police and the door shuts, during "Dazed", where is he now? And what happened in that room? Cops were out of control back then.

My apologies mate, looking back that was a rather rude post of mine. I am afflicted by dreaded Covid at the moment and not in the best of moods.

There's an actual picture of it, on this site

Wonder why Jimmy was visiting Bron yr aur?

Good to see JPJ invited to this. Couldn't help noticing Josh Homme & Alain Johannes on the bill too. Anyone know what playing shape Josh is in at the moment? I'd love another Crooked Vultures appearance, even if a record's not going to happen.

In the official Zeppelin book, JPJ says he recalls Pigpen having a gun at that photo session. Nothing about him firing it though.

Ricardo lived the life of three men. RIP to an extraordinary man.

Not Jeff Ocheltree, note. That's defintely Hinton.
