    Hey now, what the hell is wrong with Falco?

    You keep up that attitude and Amadeus will NOT be rocking you 😉 Austria may put out a fatwa on yo ass.

    Most unlikely to stumble across Falco in this RIP thread as he died in 1998 if my memory serves me well. Anyway, I completely agree with kipper.

    We may put out a fatwa on someone who try to bore/torture us with SOUND OF MUSIC!

    What do we all think the chances are of EVSD releasing the full soundboard for 29.9.71 on the 50th anniversary? Would another release this year follow their normal pattern? 

    I am still confident about a 50th anniversary release by EVSD, it would make sense in every way. If not now, then when?

    Speaking of their normal pattern: announcement of upcoming release in early September, collecting preorders til November, shipping early December.

    But if EV surprise us with a totally unexpected SB of 923 or 924, I will promise to wait another 3 years for the rest of the 929 SB.

  3. On 1. August 1951 Tommy Bolin was born. Despite his short lifespan, he died 25 years old, he is known as one of the most influential and greatest guitarists of the 20th century.

    I´ll celebrate the 70th anniversary of his birthday spinning records of Zephyr, Alphonse Mouzon, Billy Cobham, James Gang, Deep Purple and the Tommy Bolin Band on Volume 11.

  4. After the administration of the strongest truth-serum from the laboratories of the MI6 there is enough time for two questions:

    "Which live recordings from your  LZ archive did you give your bosom friend Mr. Ross Halfin as a present?"

    "Do you really intend to officially release some live recordings in the remaining seven years, or was it just insubstantial blah blah to the 50. anniversary?"

    So next year is in Qatar right?  The World Cup is one year away?  So we get two summers in a row of great soccer  (sorry, its soccer here).

    World Cup 2022 in Qatar from 21. November to 18. December. Impossible to play there in the summertime, a rather sick decision to choose Qatar imo.  I am sure if the decision-makers get a load of money the World Cup 2030.will be held on the South Pole.

    Sorry to say but going 1 up in 2 minutes and then not playing for 88 minutes, then you only have your self to blame. They basically let Italy get back into the game and after half time it was only going to end up one way. However, nothing can forgive Southgate for having experienced players and then ask 3 young lads who had been on the pitch for 5 minutes to take penalties. Disappointed and frustrated. But hey, we are used to it.

    You nailed it. I wonder if Mr. Southgate will keep his job.

     You know what really makes me mad?  All the ACTING.    Guys acting like they got hurt to draw a penalty. IN the NHL, that is hockey if you do not know, you get a penalty for that shit.

    No difference here: for any Oscar-worthy performance players are cautioned (yellow card), or even excluded (red card) if they have seen the yellow card before.

    Excellent A.M. What's in the Joints? We currently have some lovely Afghan Indica buds. Very tasty indeed:drool:

    Plenty of nice and heady White Widow and Northern Lights is available. Although, a devastating Train Wreck would fit nicely to the Austrian efforts.

    No falling asleep this time as the kick off is 5.00pm UK time, I will still be awake. :D

    Let us all hope that it is a great match and the best team win. We need something to cheer us up. Best not have a joint or a glass of red pre match;)

    Haha, on Saturday me and some friends have to have some joints pre & during Italy vs Austria, no chance to bear a match of the Austrians without some green aid.

    I guess Italy will win & progress in the tournament, and that is fine, as it is a great joy to watch them play.

    Don't waste your hard earned $$ on that Rick. Whilst I would love England to win a major tournament in my lifetime, I highly doubt with the manager we have, I will see it.

    He (Southgate) makes grass growing look interesting. I like watching football and I think it is the only time I've nodded off mid game. Of course it could have been the stout Reefer I had sparked up or the half bottle of red I'd downed, but that is par for the course for me and I only nod off when my head hits the pillow.

    I suspect the only people who think England will actually a) Score or b) win, will be the ever optimistic pundits who think England actually have a squad to pull it off. If I was a betting man, which I am not, I would put your hard earned $ on a German win or you could have a friendly bet with me?? Can I actually stay awake this time?

     

    You shouldn´t be so pessimistic. The current German squad is far from the excellent team they got in 2014. "Radio" Müller is a bit under the weather, Leroy Sane`s performance is just awful, their defence is rather insecure and coach Jogi Löw doesn´t radiate confidence. So, I wouldn´t be surprised if England.........

    This ought to be a great match, I bet you won´t fall asleep.

    Russia is a paper bear so to speak, take away their nukes and NATO could kick the shit outta them within three weeks.

    Just a paper bear, really? But wait a moment, wasn´t there someone with a similar estimation some time ago........if only I could remember......

    Ah, I`ve got it, here we go:  "Russia is just a rotten house, kick in the front door and watch the house collapse"

    To the best of my recollection that someone was very wrong (Thank heaven). Wrong, like that little megalomaniac, erm, that french.....or corsican.............

  12. I guess a complete 929 SB (any Japan 71 SB) to the 50th anniversary this September would make a lot of us very happy. I am quite optimistic about it.

    Furthermore, I would welcome any SB from 70 to 71 with a soundquality similar to the 929 SB. (e.g. the horrible sound of the Hampton 71 SB makes me SICK!)

    Page sings harmony vocals during Tangerine for the only time that I'm aware of.

    I don´t think so, just listen attentively to Tangerine of the second night in Osaka. With the recordings we know so far, it is very hard to detect his harmony vocals. But it´s there, albeit very quiet. He sings in a higher register than the day before, very beautiful to my ears.

    You and I both as Page had a decent singing voice, especially compared to Jones. Page had a decent singing voice, decent enough for harmony back-up. Bonzo had an excellent singing voice IMO. From what I have heard he had a nice range kinda similar to Roger Taylor (Queen). Never understood why Page & Bonzo did not sing harmony live (Bonzo did for The Ocean), and why Plant never played 2nd guitar (rhythm) live when they so desperately needed a second guitarist, especially from 75' on when the complexity and layering of the songs required at the very least a 2nd guitar player.

    Totally agree with your opinion that Page & Bonham should have used their singing talents more often. Especially Bonzo, who had a strong and beautiful singing voice. 

    Strongly disagree with your thoughts on Plant playing rhythm guitar. I don´t think that Plant (at any age/with LZ) would have been capable of playing the second guitar.

    In my humble opinion they came to the right decision to remain a quartet.

    One of the stark contrasts to me is how underwhelming Dazed is compared to later years. It feels like it's still in early construction here.

    It was in development, from the very beginning to 1973. IMO this is a wonderful, heavy, energetic 71 version. Therefore, it doesn´t make sense to compare it to e.g. Seattle 73. Another example: Listening to any 73 or 75 version of Heartbreaker after listening to the 923 version may cause a narcoleptic attack.

    Thanks for touching holy ground, I really appreciate your nitpicking reviews.

    I know I am gonna get seriously flamed for this but here goes. Always liked Deep Purple but only a few of their songs, most of the rest are just forgettable IMO. Never had or even listened to Made in Japan so I decided to buy it as this album is constantly talked about as one of the best live albums out there. Well, I was rather disappointed. So yes, a few songs were good but the majority were just meh and I thought the performance as a whole was just lacking something I cannot put my fingers on. The performance itself was a good one but it was still missing something. The other issue I had with the album was Ian Gillan. The guy can sing without a doubt but his ad libs and screams are just annoying.

    So that's my take. For me an example of a great live album is J. Giles Band Blow Your Face Out, or The Allman Bros. Live at the Filmore. I will not mention any Zep live albums as I am just too biased and think all their official live releases blow everyone else away but my view is less than objective.

    Always thought Uriah Heep was a better band overall than Deep Purple. Those two were very similar overall in approach and direction.

    American Gods, Ian McShane is a BEAST as Mr. Wednesday, Crispin Glover is his usual quiet yet crazy / menacing self as Mr. World. Pablo Schreiber chews every scene he is in like its his last meal. The whole cast is terrific for such a unique show.

     

    Sounds good. Peter Stormare seems to be in his element, too. I really loved Stormare & Buscemi in Fargo.

    Nah:
     



     

    Yes, this has to be the ultimate live version of Wild Dogs! Compared to the TBB live versions, which are ruined by the cheesy keyboard sounds of Mark Stein, this one truly shines. Soulful, melancholic vocals by Tommy and superb backing vocals by Glenn. And THAT guitar solo is beyond words, still gives me goosebumps.

    Bolin did not get some bad smack in Indonesia. Or at least, that's not the reason he played shit. He had gotten high at the Tokyo hotel, and fell asleep on his arm for 8 hours. 

    Their show at the Budokan was attended by 14,000 people - a record breaking crowd. However, they did play a beautiful "Soldier Of Fortune". 

    Miami had an amazing setlist, and NZ was pretty good, considering it to be one of the first shows of the tour. But, as soon as they hit Australia it was clear the end was near....

    Wheter inferior smack or bad shot, his left arm was numb after that event in Indonesia, badly affecting his playing on the following Japan shows. His claim of falling asleep on his arm was just a lame excuse.

    What is the brief opening guitar song in the Song Remains the Same Movie?  The song that is playing when the concert hall is dark and the doves fly away?  I know Rock n Roll is the first song but this is before that....just guitar.

    Song: Bron-Yr-Aur

    Album: Physical Graffiti

    Artist: Led Zeppelin

    Not sure who they asked in order to determine that Bustin' Out For Rosey is Bolin's 'most popular song'.

    Maybe the same clowns who are responsible  for the 2017 vinyl release of the Northern Lights recordings from Sept. 1976. This uneven, uninspired performance clearly shows the limited capacity of Johnny Bolin. I know it was a hard time for Tommy Bolin, the ugly breakup with longtime-love Karen, his increasing problems with booze and hard drugs, Narada Michael Walden had left and Bobby Berge wasn´t available either. But to put Johnny on the same stage with Haslip, Stein & Bell was truly a bad decision. Sorry to say that, but imho every high school band should have a far better drummer than Johnny was back in 1976. There are excellent shows from the first tour in April/May 76 and of course the mindblowing Ebbets Field shows from 1974 which would highly deserve a vinyl release.

    Anyway, I am excited about the upcoming LP.
