  1. Just saw this on twitter. Not sure about it, but thought I'd post it to see what the consensus is...
  2. Yeah, a lot of the groups were certainly on my "uncool" list, but that's the great thing about a show like that - they'd be off the stage in 15 min or so. I also found that they weren't always as bad as I thought though. Watched Gilmour join Ferry on stage for his set, which was very good, lots of good collaborations - imo. George Thorogood being joined by Albert Collins, Sting with Branford Marsalis, etc. The London performances definitely sounded better to me. What a great run on stage - U2 (still one of my fav performances of the entire day and the reason I started to go see them live) followed by Queen, Bowie, The Who (sucked the helicopter in the area wrecked their broadcast), Elton John, and McCartney. The diversity at Philly was impressive - Beach Boys, Madonna, Petty, Neil Young, The Cars, Sabbath, Priest, Clapton, Zep, CSN, etc. I wish more of it was officially released. I don't even dwell on the Zep set, because it was just the pure emotion coming from everyone that they were on stage together - not just the performance itself. I still think it wasn't that bad, sound mix was horrible, emotion was unbelievably high.
  3. Some just like to stir the pot and get attention. These avenues have been traveled down many times, on this site, over the years.
  4. It's been 32 years gone already. Probably the greatest single day of music of my lifetime. I was working at a summer camp in the Adirondack Mountains and listened to this all day and night with friends. Zeppelin was one of the few acts I was able watch that day, the rest I recorded on cassette tapes with a half-assed radio. The tapes only sounded good on that boom box. Finally threw out those tapes last month during our move. Now with the DVD release, plus some bootlegged DVD's of unreleased performances, I can relive July 13, 1985 over again.
  5. I thought it was a good couple of days, for a change!
  6. "Fuck all y'all, I'm outta here!" To me it looks like she's already out of the seat and getting ready to bolt...?
  7. The advertisement was from the Led Zep News twitter feed this past Monday.
  8. I've also heard about a full length Zurich '80 from this source, tom kid. I'll believe this when I see it...
  9. Yep! TUF '80 are pretty much my favorite and that WLL from the last show is bananas! Outside of the long medley versions of '72 and prior, it's my favorite version. Still gotta listen to it before the month is over...
  10. The League on Netflix I'll have to try out F is for Family, IpMan.
  11. Aaron Judge holding court...501 feet, are you kidding me?!?
  12. Even with the Yanks finishing the first half at 45-41, the future is getting brighter. Still not enough depth in pitching rotation/bullpen. Looking forward to the 2nd half!
  13. We saw Rod Stewart perform Saturday night. He was better than I expected, very Vegas-style show. Cyndi Lauper opened. She was phoning it in, imo.
  14. Today, making phone calls, putting bins in the new storage racks in the garage, watching construction pour the concrete foundation for the new house across the street, etc.
  15. Just getting caught up in this thread.... Nice one, Bong-Man!
  16. Shot In the Dark - Ozzy
