    Bill's wise advice and council saved Robert Plant's solo career.

    Jimmy Page under self-management is...lacking.

     

    Did BC start managing Plant in 1982?  I've never heard that before - I thought it was Phil Carson that managed him early on.  It's confusing.  Also - the selling of publishing shocks me, there isn't a lot of info about that.

    He must be out of his mind! He's worst than rich American slobs who build McMansion's in quiet three bedroom communities.

    Really?  Slobs?   You have no idea what you're talking about.

    Could be Mike Bordin, sorry bad with names. Many Zep books nowadays mention that Robert pulled out of a Zep

    World tour(not with Jason) literally at the last minutr in 90' or 91'. Much of the details of the tour supposedly were

    already done, Robert agreed at first. Probably would have gone very well, Jimmy was in excellent playing shape.

    In the end however it was IMO the right move, Robert didn't want the legacy tarnished. P/P in 95' couldn't really

    be called a reunion because no Jonesy and the vast reworkings of ? 10-12 Zep songs. Robert grew wary in 98'

    despite Page's spectacular return to amazing playing. Robert saw that the set list kept dropping WIC songs, and the

    show was becoming basically Zep without Jonesy or Bonzo. So he quit with some tour dates remaining. Don't blame him.

    Source of the almost touring in 91 comment?

    Hasn't Robert stated that he thought Zeppelin had become dinosaurs around the time of Graffiti/Presence? Seems he was probably struggling his last few years with the band. I bet he probably enjoyed making In Through the Out Door . It points to his solo career.

    I have never heard him say that in fact he said physical graffiti was their best work.

    Grant discusses it in his autobiography Peter Grant: The Man Who Led Zeppelin. IIRC, it was circa 1976 and merely an inquiry on the possibility of doing so. 

    Is it an autobiography or biography?  Did he write it or provide the information to the writer?

  6. I wish they had expanded their US set list to include other songs from their albums.   By 77, they had played SIBLY too many times, great song, but come on.  In their 77 set list, they should have left off SIBLY, No Quarter, White Summer/Black Mountain Side, maybe Moby Dick, Black Country Women, possibly a few others.  They should have included, maybe, Over the Hills and Far Away, Misty Mountain Hop, For your Life, others......

  7. I had never seen these pictures before until they were in the Grant video above (from youtube).  Amazing that all the books I've read - none had this picture of when Jimmy signed Zeppelin to Atlantic.  Great picture!  Question - it looks like Jeff Beck was there also -- Why was he there?
